Answer:

12\dfrac{7}{40}

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is

\left(9\dfrac{7}{8} + 2\dfrac{4}{5}\right)-\dfrac{1}{2}

We need to find the simplified form of the given expression.

It can be rewritten as

\left(9+\dfrac{7}{8} + 2+\dfrac{4}{5}\right)-\dfrac{1}{2}

Combine integers and fractions separately.

(9+2)+(\dfrac{7}{8}+\dfrac{4}{5}-\dfrac{1}{2})

Taking LCM we get

11+\dfrac{35+32-20}{40}

11+\dfrac{47}{40}

In can be written as

11+\dfrac{40+7}{40}

11+1+\dfrac{7}{40}

12+\dfrac{7}{40}

12\dfrac{7}{40}

Therefore, the expression 12\dfrac{7}{40} is equivalent to the given expression.

Hayden is a manager at a landscaping company. He has two workers to landscape an entire park, Cody and Kaitlyn. Cody can complet
belka [17]
Answer: 3.4 h

Explanation:

1) The basis to solve this kind of problems is that the speed of working together is equal to the sum of the individual speeds.

This is: speed of doing the project together = speed of Cody working alone + speed of Kaitlyin working alone.

2) Speed of Cody

Cody can complete the project in 8 hours => 1 project / 8 h

3) Speed of Kaitlyn

Kaitlyn can complete the project in 6 houres => 1 project / 6 h

4) Speed working together:

1 / 8 + 1 / 6  = [6 + 8] / (6*8  = 14 / 48 = 7 / 24

7/24 is the velocity or working together meaning that they can complete 7 projects in 24 hours.

Then, the time to complete the entire project is the inverse: 24 hours / 7 projects ≈ 3.4 hours / project.Meaning 3.4 hours to complete the project.

What is the sign of the product (3) × (−3) × (−2) × (4)?
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

Positive, because the products (3) × (−3) and (−2) × (4) are negative and the product of two negative numbers is positive.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 1 * -1 = -1, and -1 * -1 = 1, the product of opposite signs produces negative numbers while the product of same signs produces positive numbers. So the product of 1 * 1 * 1 * -1 = -1, while -1 * -1 * -1 * -1 = 1.
