This problem is simply asking us to add the weights which are presented as fractions. You can easily get the answer if you input them directly in a calculator. But I think the challenge here is to manually add fractions.
Let's add the two 1/4 lb weights because it is easier for they have a common denominator. Just simply add the numerators.
1/4 + 1/4 = 2/4
Then, add with this the fraction part of 2 1/5.
2/4 + 1/5 = ?
The least common denominator is 4*5 = 20. Then divide 20 with each denominator and multiply to their respective numerator.
2/4 + 1/5 = [(20/4 * 2) + (20/5 *1)]/20 = 14/20
14/20 is simplified to 7/10. Then add the whole number 2. <em>Therefore, the sum of all weights is 2 7/10 pounds.</em>
Answer: A) 23
Step-by-step explanation:
3^2 + ( 6 - 2 ) ⋅ 4 -6/3
3^2 + 4 ⋅ 4 -6/3
9 + 4 ⋅ 4 -6/3
9 + 16 -6/3
25 - 6/3
75/3 -6/3 = 69/3
69/3 = 23

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Start with our equation:
s=2(lw+wh+hl)
Plug in our values for l, w, and h:
s=2(12*9+9*2+2*12)
Simplify:
s=300
Answer:
197.2 million
Step-by-step explanation:
The appropriate exponential equation for the population is ...
p(t) = 172.0e^(0.019t)
Then we can compute for t=7.2:
p(7.2) = 172.0e^(0.019·7.2) ≈ 172.0·1.146599 ≈ 197.2
7.2 minutes from now, the population will be about 197.2 million.
___
For continuous growth (or continuous compounding), the exponential formula is ...
f(t) = (value at t=0)×e^(rt)
where r is the growth rate in one unit of time, and t is the number of time periods.
