Answer:

To simply a equation you need to use Pemdas

the order of operations.

We need to simplify parethesis first...

if you cant simplify in it like (x+3)

you need to use the distributive property

-2 *x

-2*3

Answer:

2 miles 2 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 1760 yards in a mile, so you are effectively performing the division ...

(9185 380/1760) ÷ 4590

where the number in parentheses is a mixed number of miles.

You do this division the same way you do any mixed-number division. There are different possible methods you can use. One of them is to convert the mixed number to an improper fraction, then divide.

9185 380/1760 = 9185 19/88 = (88·9185 +19)/88 = 808299/88

Then this is divided in the usual way:

$\dfrac{808299}{88}\div4590=\dfrac{808299}{88\cdot4590}=\dfrac{808299}{403920}=2\dfrac{459}{403920}=2\dfrac{1}{880}$

Finding the quotient and remainder is straightforward. Reducing the fraction involves finding common factors in the numerator and denominator. As it turns out, 459 is a factor of 403920, so the fraction reduces as shown.

Now, we need to convert 1/880 miles back to yards.

((1/880) mi) × (1760 yd/mi) = 2 yd

So, the quotient you seek is ...

2 miles 2 yards

Item 20 You pay $4.35 for 0.75 pound of American cheese. You buy 2.5 pounds of Swiss cheese for $7.98 per pound. a. How much les

Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

a. $2.18

b. $15.60

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Price per pound of American cheese = $4.35 / 0.75 = $5.8

Price per pound of Swiss cheese = $7.98

Difference in price per pound = $7.98 - $5.8 = $2.18

b. Total amount spent on swiss cheese = $7.98 x 2.5 = $19.95

Amount spent more on Swiss cheese than on American cheese = $19,95 - $4.35 = $15.60

A 13foot lader i upagenst a tree the bottom of the ladder is 5 feet away form the tree how high is the ladder on the tree

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Think of the 13-ft length of the ladder as the hypotenuse of a right triangle. Represent the horiz. distance from foot of ladder to base of tree by x, or 5 ft.

Represent the vert. dist. from base of tree to top of ladder by y, which is unknown.

Then (13 ft)^2 = (5 ft)^2 + y^2, or

169 ft^2 = 25 ft^2 + y^2. This simplifies to y^2 = 144. Thus y = + 12 feeet.

Note: Please pay attention to your spelling: "lader i up agenst a tree" should be "the top of a 13-ft ladder is placed against a tree."
