Answer:

a) 2\frac{7}{12} kg of plant food did Sheldon have left.

b) She need is \frac{43}{12} kg and she don't have enough to left.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : On Sunday, Sheldon bought 4\frac{1}{2} kg of plant food. He used 1\frac{2}{3} kg on his strawberry plants and used \frac{1}{4} kg for his tomato plants.

To find :

a) How many kilograms of plant food did Sheldon have left? Write one or more equations to show how you reached your answer.

Solution :

Sheldon bought plant food 4\frac{1}{2}=\frac{9}{2} kg.

He used strawberry plants 1\frac{2}{3}=\frac{5}{3} kg.

He used tomato plants \frac{1}{4} kg

Kilograms of plant food did Sheldon have left is given by,

L=\frac{9}{2}-(\frac{5}{3}+\frac{1}{4})

L=\frac{9}{2}-\frac{23}{12}

L=\frac{54-23}{12}

L=\frac{31}{12}

L=2\frac{7}{12}

Therefore, 2\frac{7}{12} kg of plant food did Sheldon have left.

b) Sheldon wants to feed his strawberry plants 2 more times and his tomato plants one more time. He will use the same amounts of plant food as before. How much plant food will he need? Does he have enough left to do so?

Solution :

Sheldon wants to feed his strawberry plants 2 more times.

i.e. Strawberry plants used is 2(\frac{5}{3})=\frac{10}{3} kg.

His tomato plants one more time i.e. \frac{1}{4} kg.

Total plant she need is \frac{10}{3}+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{43}{12}

As \frac{31}{12}

No she don't have enough to left.

Answer:

70

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle not marked in the top triangle is 40 degrees since it is an isosceles triangle.  That makes the angle opposite it in the other triangle 40 degrees since they are vertical angles and vertical angles are equal.

The bottom triangle has 3 angles that sum to 180 degrees,  The other angle not marked is also y since it is an isosceles triangle.

40 + y +y = 180

Subtract 40 from each side and combine like terms

40-40 +2y = 180-40

2y = 140

Divide by 2

2y/2 = 140/2

y = 70
