Given that number of pounds of berries that Jessica bought = \frac{3}{4} lb

Given that "Mary bought \frac{1}{6} lb of berries less the jessica"

then number of pounds of berries that Mary bought

=(\frac{3}{4}-\frac{1}{6})  lb

=\frac{3}{4}\cdot\frac{3}{3}-\frac{1}{6}\cdot\frac{2}{2}  lb

=\frac{9}{12}-\frac{2}{12}  lb

=\frac{7}{12}  lb


Now we need to find the total weight of berries in pounds that they bought.

To find that we just need to add both values.

\frac{3}{4}+\frac{7}{12}

=\frac{3}{4}\cdot\frac{3}{3}+\frac{7}{12}

=\frac{9}{12}+\frac{7}{12}

=\frac{16}{12}

=\frac{4}{3}


Hence final answer is \frac{4}{3} lb.

Answer:

A non-equilateral rhombus.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this graphically.

We start with square:

ABCD

with:

A = (11, - 7)

B = (9, - 4)

C = (11, - 1)

D = (13, - 4)

Only with the vertices, we can see that ABCD is equilateral, as the length of each side is:

AB = √( (11 - 9)^2 + (-7 -(-4))^2) = √( (2)^2 + (3)^2) = √(4 + 9) = √13

BC =  √( (11 - 9)^2 + (-1 -(-4))^2) = √13

CD =  √( (11 - 13)^2 + (-1 -(-4))^2)  = √13

DA =  √( (11 - 13)^2 + (-7 -(-4))^2) = √13

And we change C by C' = (11, 1)

In the image you can see the 5 points and the figure that they make:

The figure ABCD is a rhombus, and ABC'D is also a rhombus, the only difference between the figures is that ABCD is equilateral while ABC'D is not equilateral.

Laura just finished a new book about a time-traveling magician. She read the same amount every day and completed the book in jus

So you have 85 pages and 10 days.
You would do 85/10 to get 8.5 pages each day. Hope that’s right !

Use the graph below to fill in the blank with the correct number:
Alik [6]
Let
A(-3,0) \\ B(-2,2) \\ C(0,1) \\ D(1,-2)

we know that

Point A
A(-3,0) \\ for x=-3 \\ f(-3)=0

Point B
B(-2,2) \\ for x=-2 \\ f(-2)=2

Point C
C(0,1) \\ for x=0 \\ f(0)=1

Point D
D(1,-2) \\ for x=1 \\ f(1)=-2

therefore

the answer is
f(0)=1
