The answer is D because 6 3/4 in an improper fraction is 27/4. 5 1/2 in an improper fraction is 11/2. If you want to add 27/4 and 11/2, then you have to multiply both the numerator and denominator of 11/2. Now, 11/2 will be turned into 22/4. 27/4+22/4=49/4. Now, you have to turn 2 1/4 into an improper fraction to subtract. 2 1/4 will be turned into 9/4. 49/4 - 9/4=40/4. 40/4 is simplified to 10. So the answer is, D.


Hope that helped :)

The answer is D. No, the answer is not reasonable. It should be about 10 pounds. I know because first I converted 5 1/2 into 5 2/4 (which is equivalent). Then I added 6 3/4 and 5 2/4 together to get 12 1/4. Then I subtracted 2 1/4 from 12 1/4 to get 10. Hope this helped!  <span />

Please help me with #4 <br> (10 points )
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

40 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a right isosceles triangle having lengths of two sides 12 feet and 16 feet.

<em>Since, the triangle is an isosceles triangle i.e. two sides of the triangle are equal.</em>

That is, the three sides of the triangle are 12 feet, 12 feet and 16 feet.

We know that, Perimeter of a triangle = Sum of the sides

Thus, Perimeter of the given triangle = 12 + 12 + 16 = 24 + 16 = 40 feet.

Hence, the total length of the fencing needed is 40 feet.

#6) BRAINLIEST + 10 + POINTS! :D
kumpel [21]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that if we divide our given equation (2x - 4 = 6) by 2 from both sides, we get:

(2/2)x - (4/2) = (6/2)

x - 2 = 3

Now, notice what happens if we multiply this by -3:

-3 * (x - 2) = 3 * (-3)

-3 * x + (-3) * (-2) = -9

-3x + 6 = -9

This matches B.

Hope this helps!
