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.

Which equation shows the correct use of the Distributive Property? −4(32x−12)=−15

KengaRu [80]

Answer:

-128x + 48 = -15

Step-by-step explanation:

I don't any choices to pick from but using the distributive property you will multiply the -4 by everything in the parenthesis.

-4(32x - 12) = -15

=-128x + 48 = -15.

Answer:

$\frac{(x+5)(x+2)}{x(x-3)(x+3)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is

$\frac{2x+5}{x^{2} -3x} -\frac{3x+5}{x^{3} -9x} -\frac{x+1}{x^{2}-9}$

First, we need to factor each denominator

$\frac{2x+5}{x(x-3)} -\frac{3x+5}{x(x+3)(x-3)} -\frac{x+1}{(x-3)(x+3)}$

So, the least common factor (LCF) is $x(x-3)(x+3)$ , because they are the factors that repeats.

Now, we diviide the LCF by each denominator, to then multiply it by each numerator.

$\frac{(x+3)(2x+5)-3x-5-x(x+1)}{x(x-3)(x+3)} =\frac{2x^{2}+5x+6x+15-3x-5-x^{2}-x }{x(x-3)(x+3)}\\\frac{x^{2}+7x+10}{x(x-3)(x+3)}$

Then, we factor the numerator, to do so, we need to find two numbers which product is 10 and which sum is 7.

$\frac{(x+5)(x+2)}{x(x-3)(x+3)}$

Therefore, the expression is equivalent to

$\frac{(x+5)(x+2)}{x(x-3)(x+3)}$

Answer:

The sample has not met the required specification.

Step-by-step explanation:

As the average of the sample suggests that the true average penetration of the sample could be greater than the 50 mils established, we formulate our hypothesis as follow

$H_0$ : The true average penetration is 50 mils

$H_a$ : The true average penetration is > 50 mils

Since we are trying to see if the true average is greater than 50, this is a right-tailed test.

If the level of confidence is α = 0.05 then the $z_\alpha$ score against we are comparing with, is 1.64 (this is because the area under the normal curve N(0;1) to the right of 1.64 is 0.05)
