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.

Answer:

1 gram

Step-by-step explanation:

1 milliliter (ml) of water weighs 1 gram (g). The prefix in front of the unit tells you how to move the decimal. 1 milliliter = 0.001 liters because "milli" means "thousandth". 1 "thousandth" of a liter = 0.001 liters.

PLEASE HELP AND TELL ME HOW YOU DID IT I HAVE TO SHOW work !! Jeans are on sale for 40% off the jeans Justin wants to buy them m
Harman [31]
Okay, if the jeans were originally $80, take 40% off of that (40% of 80 is 32) so you’d get 48. Now take 48 and multiply by 1.07 (to get 107% of the $48, to find a percentage you can move the decimal place left 2 digits and multiply), so Justin would pay $51.36 in total.

O<br> What is the exact circumference of the circle?<br> 3.14<br> 4<br> 7<br> pi
kow [346]
The answer is 4pi because the formula to find the circumference is C = 2 pi r. this question is asking for the terms of pi which means you remove the pi from the formula and solve it with out it. the radius is 2 because of the 2 units on the graph is halfway of the circle. you would just multiply 2 x 2 and get 4. after that you put the pi on the end of the 4. so the answer is C. (4pi)
