Answer:

The correct answer is

2\frac{2}{9}

Step-by-step explanation:

Method 1

We want to simplify,

-2\frac{1}{9} -(-4\frac{1}{3})


The double negatives becomes positive,


=-2\frac{1}{9} +4\frac{1}{3}


We now add the whole number parts and the fractions separately


=-2+4-\frac{1}{9} +\frac{1}{3}


This will give us,

=2-\frac{1}{9} +\frac{1}{3}


The least common denominator for the fractional parts is 9.

=2+\frac{-1+3\times1}{9}


=2+\frac{-1+3}{9}


=2+\frac{2}{9}


=2\frac{2}{9}


Method 2

We want to simplify,

-2\frac{1}{9} -(-4\frac{1}{3})


The double negatives becomes positive,


=-2\frac{1}{9} +4\frac{1}{3}


We first convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions to obtain,


=-\frac{2\times9+1}{9} +\frac{4\times3+1}{3}


We carry out the multiplication in the numerator to get,


=-\frac{18+1}{9} +\frac{12+1}{3}


We add in the numerator to get,

=-\frac{19}{9} +\frac{13}{3}

The least common denominator is 9.

=\frac{-19+13\times3}{9}


=\frac{-19+39}{9}

=\frac{20}{9}

We convert back to mixed numbers to get,

=2\frac{2}{9}

In AOPQ, o = 700 cm, p = 840 cm and q=620 cm. Find the measure of _P to the<br> nearest degree
Westkost [7]

Given:

In triangle OPQ, o = 700 cm, p = 840 cm and q=620 cm.

To find:

The measure of angle P.

Solution:

According to the Law of Cosines:

\cos A=\dfrac{b^2+c^2-a^2}{2bc}

Using Law of Cosines in triangle OPQ, we get

\cos P=\dfrac{o^2+q^2-p^2}{2oq}

\cos P=\dfrac{(700)^2+(620)^2-(840)^2}{2(700)(620)}

\cos P=\dfrac{490000+384400-705600}{868000}

\cos P=\dfrac{168800}{868000}

On further simplification, we get

\cos P=0.19447

P=\cos^{-1}(0.19447)

P=78.786236

P\approx 79

Therefore, the measure of angle P is 79 degrees.
