Answer: 71/30 or 2 and 11/30 yards

Work:
You need to add each fraction together in order to find the total amount of fabric. You should do this by finding common denominators (the number on the bottom of the fraction) and then combining fractions. 
Since the order of adding doesn't matter, you should combine the fractions that are the easiest first. Start with adding 1/2 and 1/3. The common denominator is 6, since that is the LCM of 2 and 3. The fractions then become 3/6 and 2/6 which combine into 5/6. It is then easy to add the other 5/6 of a yard from the question to the 5/6 you have just found into 10/6. 
Then come over to the 3/10 and 2/5 yard pieces which can be easily added together using 10 as the common denominator. These two fractions added together become 7/10.
The final step is to add the 7/10 plus the 10/6. The common denominator is 30, as it is the LCM of 10 and 6. The new fractions become 21/30 plus 50/30 which equals 71/30.

If BC = 61 and AB = 82, what is the length of AC?
Nitella [24]

Answer:

54.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagorean theorem is a^2+b^2=c^2.

Plug the given values in to get 61^2+b^2=82^2

61^2 is 3,721 and 82^2 is 6,724.

6,724-3,721 is 3,003.

The square root of 3,003, rounded to a reasonable value, is 54.8.

The length of AC is 54.8.

Drag numbers to write an equation for the line in slope-intercept form. Numbers may be used once, more than once, or not at all.
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

y = -4x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get the equation of the line that passes through the given points

The general form is;

y = mx + b

where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

To find the slope, we use the slope formula

this is ;

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

(x1,y1) = (0,5)

(x2,y2) = (2,-3)

m = (-3-5)/(2-0) = -8/2 = -4

To get the y-intercept we simply substitute one of the points

But we know that the y-intercept is the y-value when x = 0

From the point we can see (0,5) which means that the y-intercept is 5

so the equation of the line is;

y = -4x + 5

A music store is receiving a shipment of Ipads. Each box comes with 12 white, 12 black and 24 grey
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

<u>142 Grey, 83 white, 76 black</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

If you were to take 5 boxes and put 24,12,12 in each, then multiply each number by 5 you wpuld get 120 Grey, 60 white and 76 black. Then you would add what they already have 120 Grey + 22 Grey is 142 grey, 60 white + 23 white is 83 white, and 60 black + 16 black is 76 black.
