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.

<u>To find chicken needed</u>

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

I didn't understand this to be honest I thought I had to find what jm and lm were together and then subtract from the whole tota

prisoha [69]

Answer:

The correct answer is 3x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

It gives you the expression for JM and LM, and it asks for JL. Therefore, if you take away LM from JM, you are left with JL. You must subtract 2x-6 from 5x-8.

∴5x-8-(2x-6)

Do not forget to distribute the negative since you are subtracting, so instead of subtracting 6 from 8, you will be adding 6 to 8 because two negatives make a positive.

Use the definition of a derivative to find f’(x).

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

f'(x) = $-\frac{9}{x^2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

i) f(x) = 9 / x

ii) f'(x) = $$\lim_{h\to 0} \frac{f(x+h) - f(x)}{h} $ \hspace{0.2cm}$

$= $\lim_{h\to 0} \frac{\frac{9}{x+h} - \frac{9}{x} }{h} = \hspace{0.1cm} $\lim_{h\to 0} \frac{9x - 9(x+h)}{hx(x+h)} $ \hspace{0.1cm} = \hspace{0.1cm}$\lim_{h\to 0} \frac{-9h}{hx(x+h)} = $\lim_{h\to 0} \frac{-h}{x(x+h)} = \frac{-9}{x^2}$$

Please answer will give brainly

kotykmax [81]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cube is given by the formula :

a³ (where a is the side length )

So now we have to cube these lengths :

Part A :

(3x²y)³ =

(3x²y)(3x²y)(3x²y) =

(9x^4y²)(3x²y) =

27x^6y³ (This is now fully simplified so our final answer for a)

Part B:

(5y²)³ =

(5y²)(5y²)(5y²) =

(25y^4)(5y²) =

125y^6 (This is now fully simplified so our final answer for b)

Hope this helped and have a good day
