The dog ate $10\frac{2}{3}$ pounds of food

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Quantity of food = q = 16 pounds

Portion eaten by dog = p = 2/3

So,

The total pounds of food eaten by dog are:

$Pounds\ eaten\ by\ dog = p*q\\= \frac{2}{3} * 16\\= \frac{32}{3}\\= 10\frac{2}{3}$

Hence,

The dog ate $10\frac{2}{3}$ pounds of food

Which statement compares the two numbers correctly?

Pie

Hey there! We are given two decimal numbers to compare.

52.311 and 52.31

These two numbers are similar except that 52.311 has another 1 in while 51.31 doesn't.

Keep in mind that 52.31 can also refer to 52.310

So we are comparing 52.311 and 52.310

Since 1 is greater than 0.

52.311 is greater than 52.31 (52.311 > 52.31)

Eva8 [605]

Answer:

$1000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent number of years.

We have been given that Tommy purchased a riding lawnmower with an original value of $2,500. The value of the riding lawnmower decreases by $300 per year. We are asked to find the value of lawnmower after 5 years.

Since the value of the riding lawnmower decreases by $300 per year, so value of lawnmower decrease in 5 years would be 5 times $300.

The final value of lawnmower would be initial value minus value decreased in 5 years.

$\text{The value of the lawnmower after five years}=\$2500-\$300(5)$

$\text{The value of the lawnmower after five years}=\$2500-\$1500$

$\text{The value of the lawnmower after five years}=\$1000$

Therefore, the value of lawnmower after years would be $1000.

Answer:

x ≈ 13.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the sine rule in the triangle, then

$\frac{sin34}{x}$ = $\frac{sin27}{11}$ ( cross- multiply )

x × sin27° = 11 × sin34° ( divide both sides by sin27° )

x = $\frac{11sin34}{sin27}$ ≈ 13.5 ( to the nearest tenth )
