Jake’s measures the height of a tree to be 74 3/8

Mathematics
1 answer:
goblinko [34]3 years ago
7 0

I'm assuming the question is asking how tall the tree is if it has grown 2 3/4 inches.

The initial height of the tree is 74 3/8 inches and it grows 2 3/4 inches after six months. We can add these two numbers together to calculate the height of the tree now.

74\frac{3}{8} + 2\frac{3}{4}

Since these are both mixed numbers, we must find a common denominator to add our fractions. 8 is the lowest common denominator for 4 and 8. So:

74\frac{3}{8} + 2\frac{6}{8}

We can now add our whole numbers up (74 + 2) and add the numerators of the fractions together to get a single fraction (\frac{3}{8} + \frac{6}{8}).

74 + 2 = 76

\frac{3}{8} + \frac{6}{8} = \frac{9}{8}

Putting these two together, we get 76 \frac{9}{8}, which is equal to 77\frac{1}{8}.

We can also turn this answer into an improper fraction. This is done by multiplying the whole number by the denominator and adding the numerator. So in this case:

77 x 8 = 616

616 + 1 = 617

The denominator stays the same, so our answer as an improper fraction would be \frac{617}{8}.

So the tree is 77\frac{1}{8} inches tall, or \frac{617}{8} inches tall.

A new car is available with standard or automatic transmission, two or four doors, and it is available in 10 exterior colors. Wh
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

<em>40</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Number of options available for transmission = 2 (Standard or Automatic)

Number of options for doors = 2 (2 doors or 4 doors)

Number of exterior colors available = 10

To find:

Total number of outcomes = ?

Solution:

First of all, let us calculate the number of outcomes for the transmission mode and number of doors options.

1. Standard - 2 doors

2. Standard - 4 doors

3. Automatic - 2 doors

4. Automatic - 4 doors

Number of outcomes possible = 4 (which is equal to number of transmission mode available multiplied by number of doors options i.e. 2\times 2)

Now, these 4 will be mapped with 10 different exterior colors.

Therefore total number of outcomes possible :

Number of transmission modes \times Number of doors options  \times Number of exterior colors

2 \times 2 \times 10 = <em>40</em>

The width of a rectangle is 7 less than the length. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 43.6 inches, what is the area of the re
Lera25 [3.4K]

Call the length a, the width b

Perimeter = (a+b) x 2

And since we have (a+b) x 2 = 43.6, a + b = 43.6 : 2 = 21.8

a + b = 21.8
a - b = 7

-> a + b + (a - b) = 28.8
2a = 28.8
a = 14.4
b = 7.4

So, the area of the rectangle is 14.4 x 7.4 = 106.56
