Answer:

4 $\frac{3}{8}$ pounds of chicken

Step-by-step explanation:

To make the 7 a fraction we put a one under it. Then we multiple the tops of the two fractions together and the bottom two numbers of the fraction together:

$\frac{7}{1} X \frac{5}{8}$ = $\frac{35}{8}$

Finally, we simplify the improper fraction into a mixed number:

4 $\frac{3}{8}$

Answer:

chicken needed = 4 3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

There will be 7 people at a party and each person will eat 5/8 of a pound of chicken.

To find chicken needed

one person needed = 5/8

total people = 7

Therefore total chicken needed = 7*5/8 = 35/8 = 4 3/8

therefore the correct answer is 4 3/6

Answer:

$x = \sqrt{w(w+z)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

By the Pythagorean theorem, triangle BCD has

$y^2 = x^2 - w^2$

and triangle ABD has

$v^2 = y^2 + z^2$ .

Substituting the first equation into the second equation for $y^2$ gives the equation

$v^2 = (x^2 - w^2) + z^2$

Now triangle ABC has

$(w+z)^2 = x^2 + v^2$

Expanding out the left side, $w^2 + 2wz + z^2 = x^2 + v^2$ .

Now substitute the equation from before, $v^2 = x^2 - w^2 + z^2$ , into the new equation.

$w^2 + 2wz + z^2 = x^2 + (x^2 - w^2 + z^2)$

$w^2 + 2wz + z^2 =2x^2 - w^2 + z^2$

We work to isolate $x^2$ by adding $w^2$ to both sides of equation and subtracting $z^2$ from both sides.

$2w^2 + 2wz = 2x^2$

Divide both sides by 2 and you get $w^2 + wz = x^2$

Assume that x is positive and square root both sides to get the final result of

$x = \sqrt{w^2 + wz} = \sqrt{w(w+z)}$

1-cos(12x)= A. 2sin^2(6x) B. 2cos^2(6x) C. 2cos^2(12x) D. 2sin^2(12x)

Y_Kistochka [10]

Cos(12x) = cos(6x+6x) = cos6xcos6x -sin6xsin6x = cos^2(6x) -sin^2(6x)

1 - cos(12x) = 1 - (cos^2(6x) -sin^2(6x)) = sin^2(6x) +cos^2(6x) - cos^2(6x) +sin^2(6x) = 2sin^2(6x)

so choice A. is right sure
