For the question mark, we can insert a variable considering it is an unknown number.
Answer:
There are 10 possible ways the student can schedule the three classes
Step-by-step explanation:
The college student is choosing 3 classes to take during the first, second, and third semester from 5 electives.
Therefore, the student is choosing 3 items from a total of 5 and the order is not of key concern here. This is thus a combination problem;
5C3 = 10
read as 5 choose 3
The above mathematical operation can be performed using any modern calculator.
It dropped by 4.5 means that we have to subtract 4.5 from 9.2
9.2 - 4.5 = 4.7 °C
So 4.7 °C is your answer :D
Answer: Choice A
The second fraction should not have been multiplied by 9
This is because 1/9 already has the LCD in the denominator. LCD stands for lowest common denominator.
The first fraction 2/3 does not have 9 in the denominator, which is why they multiplied top and bottom by 3
2/3 = (2*3)/(3*3) = 6/9
After each fraction has the same denominator (9), you can add the numerators to place over the LCD like so
6/9 + 1/9 = (6+1)/9 = 7/9
This means,
2/3 + 1/9 = 6/9+1/9 = 7/9
