Answer:

2⁷/₆₀  

Step-by-step explanation:

-5⅔ - (-6⅕) + 1⁷/₁₂

1. Remove parentheses

-5⅔ - (-6⅕) + 1⁷/₁₂ = -5⅔ + 6⅕+ 1⁷/₁₂

2. Convert the fractions to their lowest common denominators.

The lowest common denominator of 3, 5,  and 12 is 60. Thus

-5⅔ + 6⅕+ 1⁷/₁₂ = -5⁴⁰/₆₀ + 6¹²/₆₀+ 1³⁵/₆₀

3. Add integers and fractions separately

\begin{array}{lr}-5 & -\dfrac{40}{60} \\\\+6 & \dfrac{12}{60} \\\\+1 & \dfrac{35}{60} \\\\\mathbf{2} & \mathbf{\dfrac{7}{60}} \\\end{array}

4. Add the integer and the fraction

2 + ⁷/₆₀ = 2⁷/₆₀

A student is asked to find the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle. The length of one leg is 32 centimeters, and the le
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First off, since we're talking about finding the correct hypotenuse for the triangle, we know to use the Pythagorean Theorem:
a^2+b^2=c^2

Since we know from the question, 32 and 22 are not the hypotenuse we know that those two values would be a and b. Now, all we do is stick these both into the equation and solve!
32^2+22^2=c^2

1024+484=c^2

1508=c^2

\sqrt{1508}=c

c=38.83cm

Solve (x - 3)^2+7=97, where X is a real number. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.​
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

x ≈ - 6.49, x ≈ 12.49

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(x - 3)² + 7 = 97 ( subtract 7 from both sides )

(x - 3)² = 90 ( take the square root of both sides )

x - 3 = ± \sqrt{90} ( add 3 to both sides )

x = 3 ± \sqrt{90}

Then

x = 3 - \sqrt{90} ≈ - 6.49 ( to the nearest hundredth )

x = 3 + \sqrt{90} ≈ 12.49 ( to the nearest hundredth )

Nady [450]
If I understood the question correctly the answer would be 6,630 crayons because there is 5 boxes of 1000 crayons or 5,000+ 6 boxes of 100 crayons or 600+ 3 boxes of 10 crayons or 30+ 1 box of 1000= 6,630. Hope this helps you. Sorry if I didn't fully understand what you wrote.

Nagaraj has a​ party-length sandwich that is 45 inches long and is to be cut into three pieces. The middle piece will be 3 inche
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

The length of the shortest piece is  11 inches. The length of the medium piece is   14 inches. The length of the longest piece is  20 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, so we have a long sandwich of 45 inches that will be divided in 3, giving us the following formula (x = shortest, y = medium, z=longest):

x + y + z = 45

Then we have middle piece (y) is 3 inches longer than the smallest (x):

y = x + 3

And the shortest  piece (x) is 9 inches shorter than  the longest (z):

x = z - 9 or z = x + 9

Let's place the found values of y and z in the first equation:

x + y + z = 45

x + (x + 3) + (x + 9) = 45

3x + 12 = 45

3x = 33

x = 11

So, x = 11, y = 14 and z = 20.  (11 + 14 + 20 = 45).
