Answer:

11/4 or 2.75 pints

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the difference between the original amount of blueberries and the amount she ate

original amount-amount ate

3 1/2 -3/4

To subtract, we need common denominators

The common denominator of 2 and 4 is 4

3 1/2=7/2

Multiply by 2/2 to get a common denominator of 4

7/2*2/2=14/4

Now, we have common denominators and can subtract

14/4-3/4

Subtract the numerators, and leave the denominators as 4

11/4 =2.75

She has 11/4 or 2.75 pints left

The expression 4x/5-2x/3 is equivalent to what?
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

(2 x)/15

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the following:

(4 x)/5 - (2 x)/3

Put each term in (4 x)/5 - (2 x)/3 over the common denominator 15: (4 x)/5 - (2 x)/3 = (12 x)/15 - (10 x)/15:

(12 x)/15 - (10 x)/15

(12 x)/15 - (10 x)/15 = (12 x - 10 x)/15:

(12 x - 10 x)/15

12 x - 10 x = 2 x:

Answer: (2 x)/15

Use synthetic division to solve (2x^34x^2-35x15)/(x-3). What is the quotient?
victus00 [196]
Answer: quotient is 2x^2 + 10x - 5

Solution:

The first polynomial is miswritten.

The right one is: 2x^3 + 4x^2 - 35x + 15.

So, the division is [2x^3 + 4x^2 - 35x + 15] / (x - 3)

The synthetic division uses the coeffcients and obviate the letters, but you have to be sure to respect the place of the coefficient.

So, in this case it is:

3 | 2      4    -35    15
   ---------------------------------
    2     10     - 5      0

So, the quotient is 2x^2 + 10x - 5, and the remainder is 0.

I like to show it in this other way:


   | 2     4     -35     15
   |
   |
3 |       +6    +30     -15
--------------------------------  
    2     10    - 5         0

Of course they are the same coefficients and the answer continue being quotien 2x^2 + 10x - 5, remainder 0.

Aya = a1 + (n - 1)d
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

The 26th term of an arithmetic sequence is:

a_{26}=67

Hence, option A is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

  • a₁ = -33
  • d = 4

An arithmetic sequence has a constant difference 'd' and is defined by

a_n=a_1+\left(n-1\right)d

substituting a₁ = -33 and d = 4 in the nth term of the sequence

a_n=-33+\left(n-1\right)4

\:a_n=-33+4n-4

a_n=4n-37

Thus, the nth term of the sequence is:

a_n=4n-37

now substituting n = 26 in the nth term to determine the 26th term of the sequence

a_n=4n-37

a_{26}=4\left(26\right)-37

a_{26}=104-37

a_{26}=67

Therefore, the 26th term of an arithmetic sequence is:

a_{26}=67

Hence, option A is true.

Zeke is making posters for the school play. He borrows 12 bottles of paint from the art teacher. Each bottle has 300 milliliters
solong [7]

Answer:

4 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

300 × 12 = 3600 ml

3600 + 400 = 4000 ml

1 liters = 1000 ml

liters to milliliters need to × 1000

milliliters to liters need to ÷ 1000

4000 ÷ 1000 = 4 liters
