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

Mathematics

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 chemist wants to mix a 66% alcohol solution with eight liters of 54% alcohol solution to produce a solution that is 65% alcoho
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

We have 8 liters of 54% alcohol.

We will add "x" liters of 66% alcohol to make "8 +x" liters of 65% alcohol.

54 * 8 + 66 x =   65 (8 + x)

432 + 66x = 520 + 65x

x = 88 liters

Work this out by giving your answer as a fraction 2/3 - 1/2
suter [353]

When subtracting fractions, you need to make sure the denominators are the same. In 2/3 - 1/2, the denominators are different. To make them the same, find the least common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 6

2/3 becomes 4/6

1/2 becomes 3/6

Now subtract the fractions with the common denominator

4/6 - 3/6 = 1/6

The answer is 1/6

Hope this helps. Please mark me as Brainliest. Thanks!
