Answer:

There are 5 1/2 oranges altogether.

Step-by-step explanation:

The 2 and 3 in front of each fraction indicate that there are a total of 5 whole oranges altogether. Now we have to settle these fractions. the 1/4 and the 1/4 both have a common denominator so there is no need to find one. When the common denominator is found, we simply have to add the numberators on the top of the fraction. 1+1 is 2, and, since the denominator stays the same, we should get a total of 2/4. I am unsure as to whether you were asked to simplify your answer (if you weren't you could keep your answer like this), but if you were to simplify the answer, both the numerator and denominator of our total can be divided by 2, so when that is done, we have a simplified total of 1/2. Take that 1/2 of an orange and add it to our 5 whole oranges, and we should get our answer of 5 1/2 oranges in total.

Jane took a piece of cardboard and cut out a triangle with measure 32°, 58°, and 90°, and side lengths 5 cm, 12 cm, and 13 cm. W

The answer is A. Right, Scalene.

This is because 90 degrees = a right angle

32 and 58 are smaller than 90, making it acute or scalene.
Isosceles means at least two sides are equal.
Equilateral means all sides are equal.

In this case, it is not isosceles or equilateral because the sides are not unequal.
It isn’t D. because that option doesn’t say “right”

Answer: NO

Step-by-step explanation: The sandwiches are at different angles, so you would need two different cuts to make two equal parts each.

8 numbers have a sum of 90. Whats the average number?

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{11.25}$

Step-by-step explanation:

When finding the average of a set of numbers, we

A) Add up all the numbers
B) Divide that sum by the total number of numbers in the data set

Let's represent this with a formula, s being the sum of all numbers, n being the total number of numbers.

$\frac{s}{n}$

Since we <u>already know the sum</u> and we <u>know how many numbers there are</u> (8), we can substitute inside our expression $\frac{s}{n}$ to find the average.
