What is the answer to 10 - 5 2/3 I suck at fractions

1 answer:

8 0

4 1/3

Okay, I know fractions are scary, but we can do this alright?

First, you see the whole number on the side? Get that first.

10- 5 = 5

now we have 5 left and a scary fraction. Don't panic, let's do this. We know 1 is 3/3. 1 can be anything as long as the number on top and the number at the bottom are the same then it would be one.

So 3/3 is one then we can subtract:

3/3 -2/3 .

We subtract the top number and leave the one at the bottom the same.

3-2 = 1

Then we have 1/3.

As you took one away from the 5, it becomes a 4 and you put back the left over, 1/3.

Then you answer will be :

4 1/3

From a point on a cliff 75 feet above water level, an observer can see a shipThe angle of depression to the ship is d^ How far i

Alexandra [31]

Answer:

52feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The set up will be a right angle

Let the angle of depression be 30°

The height above the sea level will be the opposite

The distance of the ship from the base is x (adjacent)

Using TOA

Tan theta = opposite/adjacent

Tan 30 = 30/x

x = 30/tan 30

x = 30/0.5774

x = 51.96

x ≈ 52 feet to the nearest foot

Angles of xyz are in the ratio 3:3:6. What are the measures of the angles

tankabanditka [31]

Let
x = 3a (first angle)
y = 3a (second angle)
z = 6a (third angle)

The total angle of a triangle is ALWAYS 180.
3a + 3a + 6a = 180
12a = 180
a = 15

Therefore, x = 45, y = 45, z = 90

2.5x12=30

If he is on Plan A and buys 13 lunches it would cost more money then to be on Plan B. If he buys less then it would cost him less money to be on Plan A since he would be paying under $30.
