An empty box weights 2 1/4 pounds. It is filled with 16 2/3 pounds of fruit. What is the weight of the box when it is fill?

2 answers:

6 0

In order to solve this problem, we need common denominators. 1/4 multiplied by 3/3 is 3/12. 2/3 multiplied by 4/4 is 8/12. 8/12 + 3/12 = 11/12. We also must add 2 and 16. 2 + 16 is 18. The box weights 18 11/12 pounds.

2 1/4 = 2 3/12

16 2/3 = 16 8/12

16 8/12 + 2 3/12 = 18 11/12

Classify each polynomial by its degree and bt its number of terms (i.e. cubic or degree=3; trinomial. (a) 5x^4-8 (b) 4a^2-2a-16

lord [1]

Answer:

a. 4th degree binomial

b. 2nd degree trinomial

c. 3rd degree monomial.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find each of these, start by writing the degree based on the highest exponent. The work for a is done for you below.

5x^4 - 8

This means it is a 4th degree.

Now we can decide what the final word is based on how many terms there are. In this one there is 2, so we call it a binomial.

4th degree binomial.

The Lynx star middle linebacker, Nat, is paid $500,000. He is guaranteed a 25% raise for each of the next three years. What will

shutvik [7]

Answer:

Nat's salary after 3 years = 976562.5 $

Explanation:

Salary of Nat = $500,000

Raise in salary for next three years = 25 % = 0.25

Salary of Nat after 1 year = 500,000 + 0.25 * 500,000 = 625000 $

Salary of Nat after 2 years = 625000 + 0.25 * 625000 = 781250 $

Salary of Nat after 3 years = 781250 + 0.25 * 781250 = 976562.5 $

So, Nat's salary after 3 years = 976562.5 $

Easy Method;

No of years considering = 3

Initial salary = $500,000

Rate of increase = 0.25

Final salary $= 500,000(1+0.25)^3=976562.5$ $

Nat's salary after 3 years = 976562.5 $
