Answer:

27 13/60

Step-by-step explanation:

What you have tried to do is not an impossible way to do it. What you could do is set your fractions and whole numbers like this.

( 7 + 1/10) * (3 + 5/6) I don't know if you know what FOIL is, but that is the way to proceed.

  • First: (meaning the first in each factor ).   3 * 7 =                                    21
  • Outside: (meaning the two terms near outside the brackets) 7 * 5/6 = 5 5/6
  • Inside: The two terms closest to the * sign      1 / 10  *3 =                         3/10
  • Last: The two end terms    (1/10 * 5/6 = 5/60                                              5/60

Now you can add. 21 + 5 is the whole number amount = 26

Add the fractions

  • 5/6 + 3/10 + 5/60 The lowest common multiple is 60
  • 50/60 + 18/60 +5/60 = 73 / 60 = 1 and 13/60

Add that to 26 and you get 27 13/60

3. A group of workers is harvesting berries at a constant rate. An equation that represents the number of baskets of berries the
grin007 [14]

In y = mx + b form, the slope can be found in the m position and the y intercept can be found in the b position.



y = mx + b


y = 2x + 15


slope(m) = 2 and y int (b) = 15



The initial amount is the y intercept, which is 15. The rate of change (the slope) is 2


example :  


baskets picked in 1 hr :


y = 2(1) + 15


y = 2 + 15


y = 17



baskets  picked in 2 hrs :


y = 2(2) + 15


y = 4 + 15


y = 19



so the slope ( rate of change) is basically saying for every hr of picking, you pick 2 baskets...so your picking 2 baskets per hr.


The y intercept (15) is telling us that they already had 15 baskets to start with.

wolverine [178]

Answer:

231 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Dimension of each side = 3.5 feets by 11 feets

Area of each side :

Length * width = (3.5 * 11) feets = 38.5 ft²

Number of sides = 6

Hence, number of square feets to paint :

Number of sides * area of each side :

6 * 38.5 ft²

= 231 ft²
