Alright, so first we need to establish two things.

First, the compliment of a set is like the extreme opposite; everything that is not in set B will be in the complement.

Second, we need to find out what B is.

Okay, so B is everything that is greater than 2, that's given. That includes 3, 4, and 5. B = {3, 4, 5}. There are three items in this set.

The numbers that aren't included are 1 and 2. The complement of B, let's call this C I guess, is C = {1, 2}. There are 2 items in this set.

The answer, I believe, is <em>two</em>. Hope this helps!

Kevin using 84 fluid ounces of water to make in all purpose cleaner. The directions call for 4 fluid ounces of concentrated soap

nata0808 [166]

He should use 886 fluid ounces of soap.

<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:

Know that 8 fluid ounces make 1 cup.

Now 24 cups need 32 fluid ounces or, 3 fluid ounces of water need 32 fluid ounces of soap.

Thus, by unitary method,

84 ounces of water need 32 × 84 / 3 ounces of soap.

Thus the answer comes to 886 ounces.

Jacob and Ali want to run from one corner of a football field to the opposite corner. The rectangular football field is 50 yards

svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

Jacob ran 40 yards more than Ali.

Step-by-step explanation:

Football field is in the shape of a rectangle having dimensions 120 yards × 50 yards

Since Jacob runs around the perimeter of the field from one corner to other corner, therefore, distance run by Jacob = $(\text{Length+width})$

Distance run by Jacob = 50 + 120 = 170 yards

Ali runs through the middle of the field diagonally on a straight line.

Therefore, distance covered by Ali = $\sqrt{\text{length}^{2}+\text{width}^{2}}$

= $\sqrt{(50)^{2}+(120)^{2}}$

= $\sqrt{2500+14400}$

= $\sqrt{16900}$

= 130 yards

Now difference between the distance covered by Jacob and Ali

= 170 - 130

= 40 yards

Therefore, Jacob ran 40 yards more than Ali.
