How would i calculate 1.9 minus 11/12?

1 answer:

8 0

Step 1) turn 1.9 into an improper fraction.

= 19/10

step 2) find a least common denominator between 10 and 12.

= 60
(10x6 and 12x5)

step 3) convert the fractions so they have the same denominator.

= 19x6 is 114.
10x6= 60.
= 11x5 is 55.
12x5 is 60.
now you have your new fractions.

step 4) subtract.

= 114/60 - 55/60 is 59/60.

step 5) simplify.

the answer is either 0.9833... (3 repeating) or just 59/60 (you can't simplify the fraction any further).

An empty shipping box weighs 250 grams. The box is then filled with T-shirts. Each T-shirt weighs 132.5 grams. The equation re

just olya [345]

Answer:

Equation:

250 + 132.5y = x

Solution for solving for x:

x = 250 + 132.5y

Solution for solving for y:

y = (x - 250)/132.5

In this situation, the solutions mean that the equation is linear or first grade because the solutions can be calculated in any of the following four forms:

1. Adding the same number to both sides

2. Subtracting the same number from both sides

3. Multiplying both sides by the same number

4. Dividing both sides by the same number

Completing the question and statement correctly:

The equation represents the relationship between the quantities in this situation, where x is the weight, in grams, of the filled box and y the number of shirts in the box.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review all the information provided to us to answer the question correctly:

Weight of an empty box = 250 grams

Weight of each T-shirt = 132.5 grams

2. Name two possible solutions to the equation that represent the relationship between the quantities in this situation, where x is the weight, in grams, of the filled box and y the number of shirts in the box. What do the solutions mean in this situation?

x = weight, in grams, of the filled box

y = number of shirts in the box

Equation:

250 + 132.5y = x

Solution for solving for x:

x = 250 + 132.5y

Solution for solving for y:

y = (x - 250)/132.5

In this situation, the solutions mean that the equation is linear or first grade because the solutions can be calculated in any of the following four forms:

1. Adding the same number to both sides

2. Subtracting the same number from both sides

3. Multiplying both sides by the same number

4. Dividing both sides by the same number

Solve the x 1/3x + 5> 10

kotykmax [81]

Answer:

The solution to the inequality is:

$\frac{1}{3}x+5>10\quad :\quad \begin{bmatrix}\mathrm{Solution:}\:&\:x>15\:\\ \:\mathrm{Interval\:Notation:}&\:\left(15,\:\infty \:\right)\end{bmatrix}$

The solution graph is also attached below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

We are given the expression

$\frac{1}{3}x+5>10$

To determine

Solve for x

Given the expression

$\frac{1}{3}x+5>10$

Subtract 5 from both sides

$\frac{1}{3}x+5-5>10-5$

Simplify

$\frac{1}{3}x>5$

Multiply both sides by 3

$3\cdot \frac{1}{3}x>5\cdot \:3$

Simplify

$x>15$

Thus, we conclude that:

$x>15$

Therefore, the solution to the inequality is:

$\frac{1}{3}x+5>10\quad :\quad \begin{bmatrix}\mathrm{Solution:}\:&\:x>15\:\\ \:\mathrm{Interval\:Notation:}&\:\left(15,\:\infty \:\right)\end{bmatrix}$

The solution graph is also attached below.
