Answer:

D. 2 7/12

Step-by-step explanation:

8 1/4 - 5 2/3

Turn to improper fractions.

33/4 - 17/3

Make the denominators equal.

99/12 - 68/12

Subtract the fractions since denominators are equal.

31/12

= 2 7/12

Answer:

$2 \frac{7}{12}$

Answer D is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

$8 \frac{1}{4} - 5 \frac{2}{3} \\ \frac{33}{4} - \frac{17}{3} \\ \frac{99 - 68}{12} \\ \frac{31}{12} = 2 \frac{7}{12}$

five consecutive terms of an arithmetic sequence have a sum of 40. The product of the middle and the two end terms is 224. Find

ratelena [41]

Let the five terms be: a, a + d, a + 2d, a + 3d, a + 4d, then
a + a + d + a + 2d + a + 3d + a + 4d = 5a + 15d = 40
i.e. a + 3d = 8
Also, (a + 2d)(a + 3d)(a + 4d) = 224
(a + 3d - d)(a + 3d)(a + 3d + d) = 224
(8 - d)(8)(8 + d) = 224
(8 - d)(8 + d) = 224/8 = 28
64 - d^2 = 28
d^2 = 64 - 28 = 36
d = sqrt(36) = 6
But a + 3d = 8
a + 3(6) = 8
a = 8 - 18 = -10

Therefore, the term of the sequence is: -10, -10 + 6, -10 + 2(6), -10 + 3(6), -10 + 4(6)
= -10, -4, -10 + 12, -10 + 18, -10 + 24
= -10, -4, 2, 8, 14

Yu can you think how many triangles fit in that parallelogram? The answer is six. four in the central rectangle and two at the ends, then the area of the parallelogram will be six times greater than that of the triangle in that graph. Good luck! M.

What is 25% of 24? What is 15% of 60? 9 is what percent of 72

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

6.48

Step-by-step explanation:

this is the easiest way to solve for percentage:

$\frac{part}{whole} =\frac{part}{whole}$ Where all the percents (except 100) would go in part
