ANSWER
EXPLANATION
It was given that,a bottle of la belle bœuf contains 3/8 ounces of perfume.
We want to find how many ounces of perfume would 4 1/2 bottles contain.
If 1 bottle contains 3/8 ounces;
Then 4½ bottles should contain more ounces.
If more less divides.
4½ bottles contain
=1.6875 ounces.
When given 3 triangle sides, to determine if the triangle is acute, right or obtuse:
1) Square all 3 sides.
4, 3, 4,
16, 9, 16
2) Sum the squares of the 2 shortest sides.
16 + 9 = 25
3) Compare this sum to the square of the 3rd side.
25 > 16
if sum > 3rd side² Acute Triangle
So, it is an acute triangle.
