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

, list the first five terms of each sequence, and identify them as arithmetic or geometric.
Scrat [10]

Each element is 2/3 times the previous one, so that's a geometric sequence.

6×(2/3)=4, 4×(2/3)=8/3, 8/3×(2/3)=16/9, 16/9×(2/3)=32/27

Answer: 6, 4, 8/3, 16/9, 32/27

Find the Value of X.
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

∠ TUL + ∠ LUV = ∠ TUV , substitute values

x + 16 + 11x = 172 , that is

12x + 16 = 172 ( subtract 16 from both sides )

12x = 156 ( divide both sides by 12 )

x = 13 → C
