A landscaper has 10 2/5 cubic yards of peat moss in a truck. If he unloads 2 2/3 cubic yards at the first site and 2 1/4 cubic y

8 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem bothers on fractions, here we are being presented with mixed fractions.

what we are going to do bascially is to subtract the sum of all the uloaded

peat moss in sites 1 and 2 to get from the peat moss to get the remaining for the third site

therefore

10\frac{2}{5}-(2\frac{2}{3}+ 2\frac{1}{4})

we then have to convert the mixed fraction to further simplify the problem we have

\frac{52}{5}-(\frac{8}{3}+ \frac{9}{4})

we then solve the fraction to the right of the negative symbol first

=\frac{52}{5}-(\frac{8}{3}+ \frac{9}{4})\\\\=\frac{52}{5}-\frac{32+27}{12} \\\\=\frac{52}{5}-\frac{59}{12} \\\\\=\frac{624-295}{60} \\\\=\frac{329}{60}

We can now convert to mixed fraction

=\frac{329}{60}\\\\ =5\frac{12}{25}

For the third site the remainder is 5 12/25

Which function has a range of y &lt; 3?<br> y=3(2)*<br> y=2(3)<br> y=-(2)*+ 3<br> O y=(2]*_3
jasenka [17]

Answer:

The function given by y = - (2)^{x} + 3 will have a range of y < 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The function given by y = - (2)^{x} + 3 will have a range of y < 3.

This is because, for any real values of x, the term - (2)^{x} will have a negative value. If we put x = 1, then, - (2)^{x} = - 2, and for x = -1, then - (2)^{x} = - 0.5.

That means - (2)^{x} < 0 for all real x.

Hence, - (2)^{x} + 3 < 0 + 3

⇒ y < 3 for all real x. (Answer)

The product of 8 and a number, decreased by 22 is<br> 186. What is the number?
RSB [31]

Answer:

The "number" is 26

Step-by-step explanation:

if x is the number...

8x - 22 = 186

8x - 22 + 22 = 186 + 22

8x = 208

x = 26
