12.25 pounds of soil  (or 12¹/₄ pounds).

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

<u>Given: </u>

Giovanna, Frances, and their dad each carried a 10-pound bag of soil into the back yard. After putting soil in the first flower bed:  

  • Giovanna's bag was \frac{5}{8} full,  
  • Frances bag was \frac{2}{5} full, and
  • Their dad's was \frac{3}{4} full.  

<u>Question: </u>

How many pounds of soil did they put in the first flower bed altogether?

<u>The Process: </u>

Let us create each diagram for each of their 10-pound bags of soil.

  • Giovanna's: \boxed{\frac{10}{8}}\boxed{\frac{10}{8}}\boxed{\frac{10}{8}}\boxed{\frac{10}{8}}\boxed{\frac{10}{8}}\boxed{\frac{10}{8}}\boxed{\frac{10}{8}}\boxed{\frac{10}{8}} = 10 \ pounds. \boxed{1 \ unit = \frac{10}{8} = 1.25 \ pounds}
  • France's: \boxed{\frac{10}{5}}\boxed{\frac{10}{5}}\boxed{\frac{10}{5}}\boxed{\frac{10}{5}}\boxed{\frac{10}{5}} = 10 \ pounds. \boxed{1 \ unit = \frac{10}{5} = 2 \ pounds}
  • Dad's: \boxed{\frac{10}{4}}\boxed{\frac{10}{4}}\boxed{\frac{10}{4}}\boxed{\frac{10}{4}} = 10 \ pounds. \boxed{1 \ unit = \frac{10}{4} = 2.5 \ pounds}

Now consider the final step.

Let us calculate how many pounds of soil did they put in the first flower bed altogether. After putting soil,

  • Giovanna's bag was \frac{5}{8} full or 5 of 8 units. Hence, Giovanna put 3 of 8 units, or \boxed{\boxed{ \ 3 \times 1.25 \ pounds = 3.75 \ pounds \ }}.
  • Frances's bag was \frac{2}{5} full or 2 of 5 units. Hence, Frances put 3 of 5 units, or \boxed{\boxed{ \ 3 \times 2 \ pounds = 6 \ pounds \ }}.
  • Dad's bag was \frac{3}{4} full or 3 of 4 units. Hence, Dad put 1 of 4 units, or \boxed{\boxed{ \ 1 \times 2.5 \ pounds = 2.5 \ pounds \ }}.

We add up to be \boxed{ \ 3.75 + 6 + 2.5 = 12.25 \ }.

Thus, they put 12.25 pounds of soil in the first flower bed altogether.

<u>Quick Steps: </u>

\boxed{ \ \Bigg(\bigg(1 - \frac{5}{8}\bigg) + \bigg(1 - \frac{2}{5}\bigg) + \bigg(1 - \frac{3}{4} \bigg) \Bigg) \times 10 \ pounds \ }

Least common multiple (LCM) of 8, 5, and 4 are 40.

\boxed{ \ \Bigg(\bigg(\frac{40}{40} - \frac{25}{40}\bigg) + \bigg(\frac{40}{40} - \frac{16}{40}\bigg) + \bigg(\frac{40}{40} - \frac{30}{40} \bigg) \Bigg) \times 10 \ pounds \ }

\boxed{ \ \bigg(\frac{15}{40} + \frac{24}{40} + \frac{10}{40} \bigg) \times 10 \ pounds \ }

\boxed{ \ \frac{49}{40} \times 10 \ pounds \ }

\boxed{ \ \frac{49}{4} \ pounds \ }

\boxed{ \ \frac{48}{4} + \frac{1}{4} \ pounds \ }

\boxed{ \ 12\frac{1}{4} \ pounds \ }

\boxed{\boxed{ \ 12.25 \ pounds \ }}

Step-by-step explanation:

a) 1.16× 10^-6

standard form should be less than 10. therefore, count decimal places from where the decimal point is located to the right until you reach a number less than 10 ....count the number of shifts in the above is 6 shifts to the right. when moving to the right, power will be negative.(-6)

1.157/1.16 ×10^-6

b) 6.79 × 10^10

67890000000....count till a number less than 10.there will be 10 shifts to the left. the 10 will be your power,(positive) since u r moving to the left exponent is positive

6.789/6.79 × 10^10

You have 12 cups of granola and 8 1/2 cups of peanuts to make trail mix. What is the greatest number of full batches of trail mi
nikitadnepr [17]
Hello! Sorry that I'm late. Okay, so each batch calls for 2 2/3 cups of granola and 1 1/3 cups of peanuts. Let's divide the number of cups available total by the amount per batch. To divide fractions, keep the first fraction the same, change division into multiplication, and flip the other faction over. Let's do it. 12/1 * 3/8 = 36/8 or 4 1/2 in mixed number form. 17/2 * 3/4 = 51/8 or 6 3/8 in simplest form. You can only make 4 full batches of trail mix, because you can only use the full serving of both granola AND peanuts for 4 of them.

Find x and y for the following problem.
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

x = 5/4

y = 7/4

Step-by-step explanation:

The smaller triangle and the larger one are similar, so the sides are proportional.

(x+5)/5 = 10/8

x/5 + 1 = 1/4 + 1 . . . . . divide it out

x/5 = 1/4 . . . . . . . . . . .subtract 1

x = 5/4 . . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 5

___

For y, you can do exactly the same computations, replacing every instance of 5 with a 7. Then you get ...

y = 7/4
