Answer:

6 7/8 pints

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of water in a barrel decreases 9 5/8 pints in 7 weeks. The water decreases the same amount each week. What is the change in the amount of water in pints in the barrel in 12 weeks?

From the question, we know that:

7 weeks = 9 5/8 pints

12 weeks = x

Cross Multiply

7x = 12 × 9 5/8

x = 12 × 9 5/8/7

x =( 12 × 77/8 ) ÷ 7

x = 12 × 77/8 × 1/7

x = 12 × 11/8

x = 16 1/2 pints

The change in the amount of water in pints in the barrel in 12 weeks is calculated as:

16 1/2 pints - 9 5/8 pints

Lowest common denominator = 8

7 + (4 - 5/8)

7 + (-1/8)

= 6 7/8 pints

matrenka [14]

Answer:

13.75

Step-by-step explanation:

First you know there are 5 students and 5 teachers, for each student it costs 6.25 and for every teacher it cost 1.50. So 5 teachers x 1.50= 7.5. 5 students x 1.25 =6.25. 7.5 +6.25= 13.75

What is the measure of <R? ​
Verdich [7]

Answer:

<R=23°

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of angles in a triangle is 180°

So, <R + <S + <T = 180°

<R+90°+67°=180°

<R+157°=180°

<R=23°

I am having trouble understanding the concept of completing the square in math. Could someone please assist me on how to do so?
enyata [817]
"Completing the square" is the process used to derive the quadratic  formula for the general quadratic ax^2+bx+c=0.  Suppose you did not know the value of a,b, or c of the quadratic...

ax^2+bx+c=0  You need a leading coefficient of one for the process to work, so you divide the whole equation by a

x^2+bx/a+c/a=0  now you move the constant to the other side of the equation

x^2+bx/a=-c/a  now you halve the linear coefficient, square that, then add that value to both sides, ie, (b/(2a))^2=b^2/(4a^2)...

x^2+bx/a+b^2/(4a^2)=b^2/(4a^2)-c/a  now the left side is a perfect square...

(x+b/(2a))^2=(b^2-4ac)/(4a^2)  now take the square root of both sides

x+b/(2a)=±√(b^2-4ac)/(2a)  now subtract b/(2a) from both sides

x=(-b±√(b^2-4ac))/(2a)

It is actually much simpler keeping track of everything when using known values for a,b, and c, but the above explains the actual process used to create the quadratic formula, which the above solution is. :)
