What is the difference between 4 5/7 and 1 3/4?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Bas_tet [7]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The difference between 4 5/7 and 1 3/4 is 83/28 or 2 27/28

Step-by-step explanation:

First, to make it easier to subtract, let's change these numbers to improper fractions.

4 5/7 = 33/7

1 3/4 = 7/4

Now, we have to find the LCM (least common multiple) between 4 and 7.

4- 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32

7- 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49

As you can see, the LCM is 28. So, lets change these fractions to have a denominator of 28.

33*4/ 7*4 = 132/ 28

7*7/ 4*7 = 49/ 28

>>132 - 49 = 83

So, the difference between 4 5/7 and 1 3/4 is 83/28 or 2 27/28

egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

7/5 y --> y+ 2/5y

0.68y --> y - 0.32y

3/5y --> y - 2/5y

1.32y --> y+ 0.32y

Step-by-step explanation:

Pretend there is a 1 in front of each y that doesn't have a number (coefficient) in front of it. 1 = 5/5, and then just solve for the fraction expressions.

The time taken to assemble a laptop computer in a certain plant is a random variable having a normal distribution of 20 hours an
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

a) 40.13% probability that a laptop computer can be assembled at this plant in a period of time of less than 19.5 hours.

b) 34.13% probability that a laptop computer can be assembled at this plant in a period of time between 20 hours and 22 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question:

\mu = 20, \sigma = 2

a)Less than 19.5 hours?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 19.5. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{19.5 - 20}{2}

Z = -0.25

Z = -0.25 has a pvalue of 0.4013.

40.13% probability that a laptop computer can be assembled at this plant in a period of time of less than 19.5 hours.

b)Between 20 hours and 22 hours?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 22 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 20. So

X = 22

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{22 - 20}{2}

Z = 1

Z = 1 has a pvalue of 0.8413

X = 20

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{20 - 20}{2}

Z = 0

Z = 0 has a pvalue of 0.5

0.8413 - 0.5 = 0.3413

34.13% probability that a laptop computer can be assembled at this plant in a period of time between 20 hours and 22 hours.

denis-greek [22]

Answer:

0.132

Step-by-step explanation:

p(received raise and asked for one) = p(received raise | asked for one) * p(asked for one)

p(received raise and asked for one) = 0.24 X 0.55 = 0.132

Solve -2(2x+5) -3(x-1)
OLEGan [10]
<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

-2(2x+5)-3(x-1)=-7x-7\\

<h2>Why?</h2>

To solve the problem, we need to perform the operations and then, add like terms.

We need to apply the distributive property, which is defined by the following way:

a(b+c)=ab+ac

Also, we need to remember how to add like terms. Like terms are terms that share the same exponent and the same variable, for example:

3x+5x+x^{2}=8x+x^{2}

We were able to add only the first two terms since they are like terms, both are sharing the same exponent and the same variable.

So, we are given the expression:

-2(2x+5)-3(x-1)

Then, solving we have:

-2(2x+5)-3(x-1)=-4x-10-(3x-3)\\\\-4x-10-(3x-3)=-4x-10-3x+3\\\\-4x-10-3x+3=-4x-3x-10+3\\\\-4x-3x-10+3=-7x-7

Hence, we have that the answer is:

-2(2x+5)-3(x-1)=-7x-7\\

Have a nice day!
