The answer is 5/4 in

The initial length:
1 ft = 12 in
8 ft = 8 * 12 in
      = 96 in

The final length:
7 ft 10 3/4 in = 7 ft + 10 in + 3/4 in
                     = 7 * 12 in + 10 in + 3/4 in
                     = 84 in + 10 in + 3/4 in
                     = 94 in + 3/4 in

The cut if the initial length - final length:
96 in - 94 in - 3/4 in = 2 in - 3/4 in = 8/4 in - 3/4 in = 5/4 in

The value of a professional basketball player's autograph rose 30% in the last year. It is now worth $325.00. What was it worth
ANEK [815]
$227.50. First, you convert 30% into a decimal: 0.30. Then, you multiply 325.00 by 0.30. This equals 97.50. 97.50 is 30% of 325, so you need to subtract 97.50 from 325.00. This equals $227.50.

1. A recipe calls for cups of flour, cup of white sugar, and cup of brown sugar. The recipe makes 6 servings.
zlopas [31]

1. This problem lacks given values, where are the numbers? Just fill-in the numbers I will variables in this case.

Let us say that:

x = number of cups of flour

y = number of cups of white sugar

z = number of cups of brown sugar

(a) Just divide x by 6 to get cups of flour per serving

x / 6

(b) Simply add y and z and divide the sum by 6

(y + z)/6

(c) From (a) we know that there are x / 6 flours per serving, so simply multiply that by 9 then subtract the original x to know how much more you need:

[(x / 6) * 9] – x

 

2.

(a) We know that we deposit $5 per day, so after 5 days we got:

total deposit = ($5 / day) * 5 days = $25

(b) The total deposit is 25 dollars, so removing $2 a day we need:

25 / 2 = 12.5 days

 

3.

(a) d is distance, R is rate, T is time

32.12 = 8.8 T

(b) It is rightful to write distance d as a positive number since the scuba diver was ascending towards the surface. If this is to be plotted on a Cartesian plane, we are moving towards the positive y axis

(c) solving for T:

32.12 = 8.8 T

T = 32.12 / 8.8

T = 3.65 minutes
