arsen [322]3 years ago

Answer:

The correct option is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the weight of a large bag of sugar is 7\frac{1}{2}. This complex fraction can be written as

7\frac{1}{2}=\frac{14+1}{2}=\frac{15}{2}

So, the weight of a large bag of sugar is \frac{15}{2}.

The number of bags is 1\frac{1}{4}. It means the number of bags is number of bags is \frac{5}{4}.

1\text{ Bag}=\frac{15}{2}\text{ lb}

Multiply both side by \frac{5}{4}.

1\times \frac{5}{4}\text{ Bag}=\frac{15}{2}\times \frac{5}{4}\text{ lb}

\frac{5}{4}\text{ Bag}=\frac{75}{8}\text{ lb}

\frac{5}{4}\text{ Bag}=9\frac{3}{8}\text{ lb}

Therefore correct option is 4.

Answer:

(3)

9\frac{3}{8}lb

(4)

6÷\frac{1}{5}=30

Step-by-step explanation:

(5)

we are given

1 bag of sugar is

=7\frac{1}{2}lb=\frac{2\times 7+1}{2}lb=\frac{15}{2}lb

we have to find weigh of 1 1/4 bags of sugar

we can multiply both sides by 1 1/4

1\frac{1}{4} bags of sugar

=1\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{15}{2}lb

=\frac{5}{4}\times \frac{15}{2}lb

=\frac{75}{8}lb

we can write in mixed form

=9\frac{3}{8}lb

(4)

we are given

6÷\frac{1}{5}

we know that

a÷\frac{b}{c}=\frac{a\times c}{b}

now, we can use formula

6÷\frac{1}{5}=\frac{6\times 5}{1}

6÷\frac{1}{5}=30

Find the x-intercept and y-intercept for 8x+4y=16
Valentin [98]

Answer:

y-intercept = 4

x-intercept = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

you can divide the equation through by 4 and change into the y=mx+c form to find c, the y intercept so the y-intercept = 4.

for the x intercept make the y=0 (because the coordinate point where the line crosses the x axis must have y=0) and then you get 8x=16 so x=2

Find a solution to the linear equation −2x−2y=8 by filling in the boxes with a valid value of x and y.Provide your answer below:
inna [77]

Given

-2x-2y=8

To find a solution for the linear equation, the first step is to write the equation in slope-intercept form:

-Pass the x-term to the right side of the equation by applying the opposite operation to both sides of the equal sign:

\begin{gathered} -2x+2x-2y=8+2x \\ -2y=2x+8 \end{gathered}

-Divide both sides by -2:

\begin{gathered} \frac{-2y}{-2}=\frac{2x}{-2}+\frac{8}{-2} \\ y=-x-4 \end{gathered}

Once you have expressed the equation of the line in slope-intercept form, replace it with any value for x and calculate the corresponding value of y, for example, x=2

\begin{gathered} y=-(2)-4 \\ y=-2-4 \\ y=-6 \end{gathered}

One solution for the linear equation is x=2 and y=-6, you can check the solution by replacing the values on the original equation, with both values the result should be 8:

\begin{gathered} -2x-2y \\ -2\cdot2-2\cdot(-6) \\ -4+12=8 \end{gathered}

As you can see the values are a valid solution for the linear equation.

So the solution is:

-2(2)-2(-6)=8

The expression sin 50 cos 40 + cos 50 sin 40 is equivalent to
enyata [817]
Sin (a+b) = sin a. cos b + cos a. sin b

a= 50° and b=40°, then

sin(50+40) = sin 50° . cos 40° + cos 50° . sin 40°

sin(50+40) = sin 90° = 1 and

sin 50° . cos 40° + cos 50° . sin 40° = 1

What is the value of a?
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

Let us make the last unknown interior angle be "b"

b+a+36=180

b=180-36-a

b=144-a

for the main triangle,

a+144-a+a-28=180

2a+116=180

2a=180-116

2a=64

a=32

so a=32
