<span>To subtract 3 3/8 from 5 1/2,
by turning into fractions
</span><span>[(5x2)+1]/2 = 11/2
</span><span>[(3x8)+3]/8 = 27/8
</span><span> 11/2 - 27/8
</span>To subtract fractions, your denominator needs to have the same number. so multiply it by 4
 44/8 - 27/8 = (44-27)/8 = 17/8.
17 / 8 pounds or 2 and 1/8 because 17 / 8 = 2 remainder 1. 
<span>In terms of weight that is 2.125 pounds.</span>

Triangle ABC is similar to triangle LMN by the AA Similarity Postulate.
chubhunter [2.5K]
Well looking at the information in triangle ABC you know 

Angle B + Angle C = 180 - 144

so Angle B + Angle C = 36

since the triangles are similar let angle M = x   

then Angle C = 2x        and angle B = angle M but the similarity postulate

so form an equation 

2x + x = 36 

solve for x 

Hope it helps

The sequence of transformations R0,90 r x-axis is applied to XYZ to produce X’’ Y’’ Z’’. If the coordinates of Y’’ are (3,0),wha
Fofino [41]

Answer:

Y = (0, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that the first the transformation is a rotation of 90 degrees around the origin, and then a reflection around the x axis.

If a reflection around the x axis resulted in (3, 0)  that means the point was already on the x axis.

Then in order for a rotation in 90 degrees to take the point Y to (3, 0), Y must have been on the y-axis as (0, 3)

Zach painted 92 square feet in the same amount of time that Blaise painted
Alika [10]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 252 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Zach = 92 ft²

Blaise = 13500 in²

Who painted more and how many more square inches? = ?

Process

1.- Convert the square feet to square inches

            1 ft² ----------------- 144 in²

          92 ft² ----------------   x

            x = (92 x 144)/1

            x = 13248 in²

2.- Subtract the lower value to the higher value

Area = 13500 in² - 13248 in²

Area = 252 in²

3.- Conclusion

Blaise painted 252 in² more than Zach.
