Answer:
<em>I misunderstood the question before, but here are two expressions equivalent to -4/7 - 8/9 + 4/7 - 9/8. </em>
71/72 + 70/72 +4/72
-1/7 - 3/7 - 5/9 - 3/9 + 2/7 +2/7 - 4/8 - 5/8
<em>Solved: -2 1/72</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
I could simply take the answer you get when combining all of the fractions, and I can make a new expression out of it. For example, I could use: 71/72+ 70/72+4/72. Or I could break apart all of the original fractions into smaller fractions. Example: -1/7 - 3/7 - 5/9 - 3/9 + 2/7 +2/7 - 4/8 - 5/8.
<em>To solve: Start by combining -4/7 and 4/7 to make 0, shortening your equation. Then continue by making the fractions remaining, 8/9 and -9/8, have a common denominator. To do this, we multiply -8/9 by 8, and -9/8 by 9. Then, we have -64/72 and -81/72. Then, we can combine the numerators of the fractions, as they have common denominators, and we get the fraction -145/72. We can then simplify this to -2 1/72.</em>

I think 2/4 but I'm not 100% sure sry
So Tina has been dieting for 13 weeks
On week 1: She lost 3 pounds, so +3 pounds
On week 2: She gained a pound, so - 1 pound
On each remaining week, she lost 2 pounds, so,
On week 3: She lost 2 pounds, so +2 pounds
On week 4: She lost 2 pounds, so +2 pounds
On week 5: She lost 2 pounds, so +2 pounds
On week 6: She lost 2 pounds, so +2 pounds
And so on,,,
So losing 2 pounds each week for 11 weeks would equal, 2 pounds x 11 weeks = 22 pounds
So, add that all up: 3 pounds - 1 pound + (2 x 11 weeks) = 24 pounds total
Answer:
b. 38 cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
Note that the 2 sides which are unmarked are the opposite sides of 2 rectangles so they are both = 2 cm.
Now we just add all the given sides.
Starting with 6 on the top and travelling clockwise:
Perimeter = 6 + 2 + 2 + 3 + 3 + 2 + 7 + 2 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 2
= 38 cm.
