1615/170

We first need to convert this into a proper fraction. Which means that the denominator must be larger than the numerator for it to be proper. Also, since 1615 is BIGGER than 170, we will end up with a mixed fraction. A mixed fraction always has a whole number.

1615 can go into 170 how many times?

9 times

170*9 = 1530

Now subtract.

1615 - 1530 = 85

Now we have our mixed fraction: 9 85/170

Now we must simplify the fraction.

85/5 = 17
170/5 = 34

17/34 is the smallest possible fraction we can get.

9 17/34

Final answer: $9 \frac{17}{34}$

Two miners are trying to push a stationary mine cart filled with gold. Miner A is exerting 25 N while miner B is exerting 20 N.

Oliga [24]

Answer:

b. 45 N

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the forces exerted by the two miners = 25 + 20

= 45 N

Since after applying a force of 45 N by the two miners the cart remained stationary, it implies that a resistance force of at least 45 N acts against their push. Thus, the force exerted by the road could be equal to 45 N or greater than 45 N.

Probably, if the sum of the forces applied is 46 N, the cart would move. Which depends on the value of resistance force applied by the road. Thus, the appropriate answer from the given option is B.

Since the force applied on the cart equals the resistance force exerted by the road, the cart would not move.

A bag has four green marbles, three red marbles, and three yellow marbles. What is the probability that you pick a yellow marble

valina [46]

Step-by-step explanation:

add all marbles together:

4 (green) + 3 (red) + 3 (yellow) = 10 marbles total

if we pick a yellow marble out of the bag and do not replace it, then we have 2 yellow marbles left.

we need to add marbles again with one yellow marble subtracted.

4 (green) + 3 (red) + 2 (yellow) =

new Total is 9 marbles.
