A. He eats 1/8 a pound of candy each day.
B. It would take him a total of 8 days to eat a pound of candy.

A. Since he ate 10 ounces in 5 days, you divide 10 by 5 to find he ate 2 ounces per day. Since there are 16 ounces in a pound that would be your denominator (bottom of fraction) and 2 would be the numerator (top of your fraction). You will get 2/16 which if you simplify (divide by 2) you get 1/8.

B. Knowing that there are 16 ounces per pound and he ate 1/8 pound ( 2/16 pound or 2 ounces) a day, you can either look at the simplified denominator to get the answer, or, divide 16 by 2 to get your answer.

I hope this helps!

Carlos used the drawing below to help explain how he found the area of the right triangle. Which expression shows the correct pr
jeka94

Answer:

The area of a right-angle triangle is;  Area = a x b / 2

Step-by-step explanation:

A right-angle triangle just like conventional triangle, has three sides.

The sides are labelled a, b and c. With a as the height of the triangle and b as the base and c as the slope or the hypotenuse.

The area of a triangle is: (base/2) x height

This is similar to the area of the right-angle triangle which is also half of the base multiplied by the height of the triangle, that is,

                       Area = ab / 2

The quadrilateral below is a rectangle. Solve for x and m
ad-work [718]

Answer:

x = 13

∠WZX = 57°

Step-by-step explanation:

Because it is a rectangle, ∠XYZ is 90°

∠XZY + ∠YXZ = 90

(5x - 8) + (x + 20) = 90

simplify:

6x + 12 = 90

subtract 12 from each side

6x = 78

divide both sides by 6

x = 13

∠WZX is complimentary to angle (x + 20)

∠WZX = 90 - (13 + 20) = 57°

During a day a student spends 7 hours sleeping, ¹/4 of the day studying and of the time travelling. What fraction of the day is
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

\dfrac{5}{24}

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Time Spent Sleeping=7  hours
  • Time Spent Studying=\frac{1}{4} of the day
  • Time Spent Travelling=\frac{1}{4} of the day

There are 24 hours in a day, therefore:

  • Time Spent Studying=\frac{1}{4} X 24 =6 Hours
  • Time Spent Travelling=\frac{1}{4} X 24 =6 Hours

The total hour used for sleeping, studying and travelling=7+6+6=19 hours

Hours used for other things=24-19=5 hours

Therefore, the fraction of the day used for other things=\dfrac{5}{24}

Working on an AP Calc redo! I know the correct answer but don't know how to get there. Definite Integrals!
eduard
Depends on the calculator you have at your disposal. If it's one of the TI-83 series, you can use the built-in 'fnint' function.
