How can I make 8 and 62/40 a proper mixed number

Lina20 [59]

You can't make it proper.You can only simplify.
Step 1: Factor both the numerator and denominator down to prime factors:<span>62 = 2 * 31 </span>
40 = 23<span> * 5</span>Step 2: Calculate the greatest common factor, GCF (also called greatest common divisor, GCD), by taking all the common prime factors of the numerator and denominator, by the lowest powers:gcd(2 * 31; 23<span> * 5) = </span><span>2 </span>
Step 3: Divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, GCF (also called the greatest common divisor, GCD):62/40 =
(2 * 31)/<span>(23 * 5)</span> =
<span>((2 * 31) : 2)</span> / <span>((23 * 5) : 2)</span> =
31/<span>(22 * 5)</span> =
31/20Step 4: Improper fraction, rewrite:<span>31 : 20 = 1 and remainder = 11 => </span>
31/20<span> = </span>(1 * 20 + 11)<span> / </span>20<span> = 1 + </span>11/20<span> = 1 </span>11/20<span> as a </span>mixed number (also called mixed fraction).<span>1 + 11 : 20 = 1.55 as a </span>decimal number<span>.</span>

Given that radius of a circle is 14 cm, find its circumference and area

agasfer [191]

Let r denote radius.

To find circumference we use

$C=2\pi r=28\pi\approx\boxed{87.92\mathrm{cm}}$

To find area we use

$A=\pi r^2=196\pi\approx\boxed{615.44\mathrm{cm^2}}$

Hope this helps.

-6m2 - 7m + 8) - (2m2 - 5m - 9

klio [65]

Answer:

-8m^2 -2m +17

Step-by-step explanation:

(-6m^2 - 7m + 8) - (2m^2 - 5m - 9)

Distribute the minus sign

(-6m^2 - 7m + 8) - 2m^2 + 5m + 9

I like to line them up vertically

-6m^2 - 7m + 8

- 2m^2 + 5m + 9

---------------------------

-8m^2 -2m +17

Mary left the place called Apton and rode towards the place Brandon at the same speed for 2 hours. She reached the sign shown be

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

Time taken by Mary to get to Brandon = 3 hours

<em>Note: The complete question is found in the attachment below</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Determining the average speed of Mary

At the sign, it shows that Mary has travelled 30 km from Apton in 2 hours to get to the sign.

Therefore, the average speed of Mary is given by;

average speed = total distance/time taken

average speed = 30 km/ 2 hours = 15 km/hr

Step 2: determining the time taken to get to Brandon

Also, from the sign, it can be seen that Brandon is still 45 km ahead. Since Mary continues at the same speed, the time taken will be;

time taken = total distance/average speed

time taken = 45 km/ 15 km/hr

time taken = 3 hours
