Answer:

The number of basket of apples picked by Harper and Cooper together is  5\frac{1}{4} \ \ Or \ \  5.25.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of basket picked by Harper = 3.5

Number of basket picked by cooper = 4\frac{1}{4}

We need to find the number of basket of apples picked by Harper and Cooper together.

Solution:

Now we can see that one number is in decimal form and other number is in mixed fraction form so we will convert both the number in simplest fraction form and then solve the same.

Number of basket picked by Harper = 3.5

Now if we divide 7 from from 2 we get the answer as 3.5 so we can say that;

3.5 can be rewritten as \frac{7}{2}

Number of basket picked by Harper = \frac{7}{2}

Number of basket picked by cooper = 4\frac{1}{4}

4\frac{1}{4} can be rewritten as \frac{17}{4}

Number of basket picked by cooper = \frac{17}{4}

Now we can say that;

to find the number of basket of apples picked by Harper and Cooper together we will add Number of basket picked by Harper and Number of basket picked by cooper.

framing in equation form we get;

number of basket of apples picked by Harper and Cooper together = \frac{7}{2}+\frac{17}{4}

now we will use LCM to make the denominator common we get;

number of basket of apples picked by Harper and Cooper together = \frac{7\times2}{2\times2}+\frac{17\times1}{4\times1}=\frac{14}{4}+\frac{17}{4}

Now denominators are common so we will solve the numerators we get;

number of basket of apples picked by Harper and Cooper together = \frac{14+7}{4} = \frac{21}{4} \ \ Or\ \ 5\frac{1}{4} \ \ Or \ \  5.25

Hence the number of basket of apples picked by Harper and Cooper together is  5\frac{1}{4} \ \ Or \ \  5.25.

A 50 lb bag of grass seed cost $222.50 find the unit cost per lb of this grass seed
myrzilka [38]
To find the cost per one pound, we divide the total cost $222.50 by the total number of pounds (50 lb).

= $222.50 ÷ 50
= $4.45 per pound


ANSWER: Each pound of grass seed costs $4.45.

Hope this helps! :)

I spent a total of $9.25 bowling. I rented bowling shoes for $ 2.50 and bowled 3 games each game cost the same amount create an
JulsSmile [24]
$2.50+3x=$9.25, if you need to work it out, then you do $9.25-$2.50. You take your answer and divide by three... whatever your solution is, equals X. There you go!

A metallic sphere is immersed in water in a cylindrical container causing a rise in the level of water by 7.5cm if the cylinder
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

6.51 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the sphere causes the water level in the cylindrical container to rise and thus increase by its own volume, the volume of the sphere is V = 4πr³/3 where r = radius of sphere. The volume rise of the container is thus    V' = πR²h where R = radius of base of cylinder = 7 cm and h = height of water level = 7.5 cm.

Since V = V',

4πr³/3 = πR²h

dividing through by π, we have

4r³/3 = R²h

multiplying both sides by 3/4, we have

r³ = 3R²h/4

taking cube-root of both sides, we have

r = ∛(3R²h/4)

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

r = ∛(3(7 cm)² × 7.5 cm/4)

r = ∛(3 × 49 cm² × 7.5 cm/4)

r = ∛(1102.5cm³/4)

r = ∛(275.625 cm³)

r = 6.508 cm

r ≅ 6.51 cm to 2 decimal places

Solve for x.<br> Sqrt8 (Sqrt2 - x) = 11
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:\frac{-7\sqrt{2} }{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

So first, let's get rid of the parentheses. We can multiply it out to get \sqrt{16}-x\sqrt{8} =11. We know that the square root of 16 is ±4, so now our equation is ±4 - x\sqrt{8}=11. I'm guessing since the problem only has one solution it's most likely only positive 4, so let's revise our equation to 4 - x\sqrt{8}=11. We can use inverse operations to make the a little easier to solve: -7= x\sqrt{8}. We divide both sides by \sqrt{8} to get \frac{-7}{\sqrt{8} } =x, which we can rationalize (remove the square root from the denominator so that it's a proper answer) by multiplying by \frac{\sqrt{8} }{\sqrt{8} } (which is equal to one so we can use it) which is equal to \frac{-7\sqrt{8} }{8}. Let's finish this by simplifying it. \sqrt{8} =2\sqrt{2} (2x2^{2}). We can simplify it further by simplifying the 2, making it \frac{-7\sqrt{2} }{4}.

Hope this wasn't too confusing! I'll answer any questions.
