5 5/8 - 3 1/2

= 5 - 3 =2

= 2+5/8-1/2

=2+1/8

=2 1/8

Answer:

2 1/8 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we make the fractions into improper fractions:

5 5/8 = 45/8

3 1/2 = 7/2

Now we make them to have the same denominator

7/2 = 28/8

Now we substract

45/8 - 28/8 = 17/8

17/8 = 2 1/8 inches

<h3>How to prove that a quadrilateral is a parallelogram</h3>

In this question we should fill the blanks based all information related to Euclidean geometry, especially concepts related to angles, triangles, parallelism and quadrilaterals.

The complete paragraph is shown below:

Since AD is parallel to BC, alternate interior angles.

AD and BC are congruent.

AC is congruent to AC since segments are congruent to themselves.

Along with the given information that AD is congruent to BC, triangle ADC is congruent to triangle CBA by the Side-Angle-Side Triangle Congruence.

Since the triangles are congruent, all pairs of corresponding angles are congruent, so angle DCA is congruent to angle BAC.

Since those alternate interior angles are congruent. AB must be parallel to CD.

Since we define a parallelogram as a quadrilateral with both pairs of opposite sides parallel, ABCD is a parallelogram.

A local high school held a two-day fundraiser selling lunches. The equations shown represent the amount of money the school coll

Mademuasel [1]

Amount of money collected in the 2-day fundraiser is represented by the following equations:

12x + 4y = 152 .................. (i)
32x + 12y = 420 .................. (ii)

where x is the cost of a chicken lunch and y is the cost of a vegetarian lunch

Multiplying (i) with 3 and subtracting it from (ii)

36x + 12y - (32x + 12y) = 456 - 420

⇒ 4x = 36

⇒ x = 9

Put value of x in (i)

⇒ 12 × 9 + 4y = 152

⇒ 108 + 4y = 152

⇒ 4y = 44

⇒ y = 11

Hence, cost of the vegetarian meal is 11.
