160 divided by 7.75 = 20.65

therefore,

150 divided by 20.65 = 7.265625 gallons or 7.27 (2 d.p)

inessss [21]

Answer:

$\frac{1429}{120}$ or $11\frac{109}{120}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A farmer has a basket of peaches. He gives ⅓ of the peaches to one person, ¼ to another, ⅕ to another, ⅛ to another, and then gives 7 peaches to a 5th person.

Remaining peaches = 4

We need to find the original number of peaches in the basket.

The farmer gives the total number of peaches = $\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{8}+7$

Let x be the former gives the total number of peaches

We multiply and divide by 120 in right side of the above equation because of 120 is divided by all given denominator and then simplify.

$x = \frac{120}{120}(\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{8}+7)$

$x = \frac{1}{120}(\frac{120}{3}+\frac{120}{4}+\frac{120}{5}+\frac{120}{8}+7\times 120)$

$x = \frac{1}{120}(40+30+24+15+840)$

$x = \frac{1}{120}(949)$

$x = \frac{949}{120}$

We add the remaining peaches by given peaches for the original number of peaches in the basket.

Original number of peaches = $\frac{949}{120}+4$

Original number of peaches = $\frac{949+4\times 120}{120}$

Original number of peaches = $\frac{949+480}{120}$

Original number of peaches = $\frac{1429}{120}$

Original number of peaches = $11\frac{109}{120}$

Therefore the original number of peaches in the basket is $\frac{1429}{120}$ or $11\frac{109}{120}$

Which property can be used to expand the expression -2(3/4*+7)?

nika2105 [10]

Answer:

C. The distributive property

Step-by-step explanation:

The distributive property of binary activities is generalized in mathematics by the distributive law of Boolean algebra and elementary algebra. Distribution applies, in propositional logic, to two clear substitution laws. The rules allow one to reformulate, within logical facts, conjunctions and disjunctions.

school teacher and needs 22 pieces of wood, 3 over 8 ft long, for a class project. If he has a 9-ft board from which to cut the

tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

Yes, he will have enough 3 over 8 ft pieces for his class.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of wood required = 22

Length of each wood, $l=\frac{3}{8}\textrm{ ft}$

Total length of the board, $L=9\textrm{ ft}$

Therefore, the number of woods that can be made using the given board is given as:

$\textrm{Number of woods made}=\frac{\textrm{Total length of board}}{\textrm{Length of each wood}}\\\textrm{Number of woods made}=\frac{L}{l}=\frac{9}{\frac{3}{8}}=9\times \frac{8}{3}=\frac{72}{3}=24$

So, he can make 24 woods of length $\frac{3}{8}\textrm{ ft}$ using the 9 ft board. But he has to make only 22 pieces.

Therefore, he has enough of the wood to make the required number of pieces.

What is the sum of the interior angles of the polygon pictured below?

oksano4ka [1.4K]

The shape has 9 sides.

Sum of interior angles = (n-2) x 180, where n is the number of sides.

Sum of interior angles = (9-2) x 180 = 7 x 180 = 1,260 degrees.
