How do you subtract mixed numbers

1 answer:

Each mixed number has to be converted to an improper fraction first. Then convert to common denominators.

= 8 5/6 - 2 4/9
convert to improper fractions

= 53/6 - 22/9
find common denominators; both denominators go into 18

= 159/18 - 44/18
subtract numerators

= 115/18
convert back to mixed number

= 6 7/18

ANSWER: 6 7/18

Hops this helps! :)

1. There were 11 yards mowed. Each yard is represented by an x on the line plot.
2. The most amount of gas used on any one yard was 5/8 of a gallon. The least amount of gas used was 1/8 of a gallon. The difference is (5/8)-(1/8)= (4/8)= 1/2 gallon

Find the slope of each line 2-3. please help thank you.

atroni [7]

2)
(-3, 3) (2,0)
slope = (3-0)/(-3-2) = -3/5

3)
y = 3
so slope = 0

Find, correct to four decimal places, the length of the curve of intersection of the cylinder 16x2 + y2 = 16 and the plane x + y

Yuri [45]

Let the curve C be the intersection of the cylinder

$16x^2+y^2=16$

and the plane

$x+y+z=1$

The projection of C on to the x-y plane is the ellipse

$16x^2+y^2=16$

To see clearly that this is an ellipse, le us divide through by 16, to get

$\frac{x^2}{1}+ \frac{y^2}{16}=1$

or

$\frac{x^2}{1^2}+ \frac{y^2}{4^2}=1$ ,

We can write the following parametric equations,

$x=cos(t), y=4sin(t)$

for

$0\le t \le 2\pi$

Since C lies on the plane,

$x+y+z=1$

it must satisfy its equation.

Let us make z the subject first,

$z=1-x-y$

This implies that,

$z=1-sin(t)-4cos(t)$

We can now write the vector equation of C, to obtain,

$r(t)=(cos(t),4sin(t),1-cos(t)-4sin(t))$

The length of the curve of the intersection of the cylinder and the plane is now given by,

$\int\limits^{2\pi}_0 {|r'(t)|} \, dt$

But

$r'(t)=(-sin(t),4cos(t),sin(t)-4cos(t))$

$|r'(t)|=\sqrt{(-sin(t))^2+(4cos(t))^2+(sin(t)-4cos(t))}$

$\int\limits^{2\pi}_0 {\sqrt{2sin^2(t)+32cos(t)-8sin(t)cos(t)} }\, dt=24.08778184$

Therefore the length of the curve of the intersection intersection of the cylinder and the plane is 24.0878 units correct to four decimal places.
