You will subtract both numbers in that order that it is written. If it was put as 3.9 and 8.3, then subtract the 2 numbers.

Since 3.9 is less then 8.3, this will be a little tricky. I will show you a hack I use.

Since we know 3.9 is less then 8.3, that means the answer will be a negative answer.

I subtract 8.3-3.9 first, which is 4.4.

Since it is 3.9 that is first, 4.4 will change to negative 4.4.

-4.4 will be your answer.

Hope this helped, and please mark brainliest! :)

If -1 &lt; x &lt; 0 which of the following has the smallest value?
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer: (B) x^3

Explanation:

If you compare the graphs of

  • y = x^2
  • y = x^3
  • y = x^4

all on the interval -1 < x < 0, you'll find that y = x^3 is the smallest when x = -1

Squaring a negative number leads to a positive result, and similarly that happens with x^4 as well. This is because x^4 = (x^2)^2.

Plugging x = -1 into x^3 leads to y = -1 as a result.

Ricardo spends 2 2/3 hours practicing soccer on
ladessa [460]

Answer:

10 7/12 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

so we have to multiply 2 2/3 twice since he does that many hours for 2 days. We then have to multiply 1 3/4 three times since he does that many hours for 3 days. Lets first convert 2 2/3 into a mixed fraction. 2 2/3 = 3 times 2 =6 +2=8 over 3. 1 3/4=4 times 1=4+3=7 over 4. 8/3 times 2 equals 16/3 which eqials

5 1/3 hours. 7/4 times 3 equals to 21/4 which equals to 5 1/4. Lets now add

5 1/3 and 5 1/4. 5+5=10 but the fractions are not the same. Therefore, we need to make it to a common denominator. 4 times 3 equals to 12 so 4/12 plus 3/12 equals 7/12. Final answer equals to 10 7/12.

She has 11 small bottles of sanitizer she wants to divide equally among 3 large containers
EleoNora [17]

Hello! To solve this exercise we have to divide the amount of the bottles by the number of containers, look:

\frac{11}{3}\cong3.\bar{6}\bar{6}

So, each recipient (container) has to receive the content of 3.66 bottles of sanitizer, approximately.
