Answer:

In the three days the Amazon stock share rose by  5\frac{5}{8}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Amazon stock share

rose 4 and 1/2 points on Wednesday

rose 3 and 3/8 points on Thursday

fell 2 and 1/4 points on Friday

To find the overall change.

Solution:

<em>The change in share on Wednesday is given as = +4\frac{1}{2}</em>

<em>The change in share on Thursday is given as = +3\frac{3}{8}</em>

<em>The change in share on Friday is given as = -2\frac{1}{4}</em>

Thus, the over all change is given by:

4\frac{1}{2}+3\frac{3}{8}-2\frac{1}{4}

<em>In order to combine mixed numbers, we will work the whole numbers and the fractions separately.</em>

⇒ (4+3-2)+(\frac{1}{2}+\frac{3}{8}-\frac{1}{4})

⇒ 5+(\frac{1}{2}+\frac{3}{8}-\frac{1}{4})

To combine fractions, we will take least common denominator.

<em>The L.C.D. 2,4 and 8 = 8  as it is the least common multiple for all the denominators</em>

So, we multiply the numerators with the corresponding numbers to make the denominators common.

⇒ 5+(\frac{1\times 4}{2\times 4}+\frac{3}{8}-\frac{1\times 2}{4\times 2})

⇒ 5+(\frac{4}{8}+\frac{3}{8}-\frac{2}{8})

Combining the numerators.

⇒ 5+\frac{4+3-2}{8}

⇒  5+\frac{5}{8}

⇒  5\frac{5}{8}

The overall change for the three days can be given as :  +5\frac{5}{8}

This means the share rose by  5\frac{5}{8}

Find M&lt;1, M&lt;2, M&lt;3, M&lt;4, M&lt;5
Leokris [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

m∠2 = 52° [Alternate interior angles]

m∠1 + m∠2 = 180° [Linear pair of angles are supplementary]

m∠1 = 180° - 52°

m∠1 = 128°

m∠3 = 47° [Alternate interior angles]

m∠5 + 52° + 47° = 180° [Sum of linear angles is 180°]

m∠5 = 180° - 99°

        = 81°

m∠4 + 47° = 180° [Sum of consecutive interior angles is 180°]

m∠4 = 180° - 47°

m∠4 = 137°

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

substitute x = 4 , y = 6 into the expression

y - (5 - (x - y))

= 6 - (5 - (6 - 4))

= 6 - (5 - 2))

= 6 - 3

= 3
