Answer:

The helmet weighs 4 7/24 pounds more than the football.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are trying to figure how much more something weighs than the other, it would be necessary to subtract.

First, I decided to find common factors in the two fractions, which was 24. I used that as my denominator. 7/8 translates to 21/24 and the 1/6 in 5 1/6 translates to 4/24.

Using these new equivalent values, the equation turns into 5 4/24 - 21/24.

Solving that equation gives you 4 7/24, hence my answer.

Hope this helps.

If I'm wrong, feel free to say why or what I did wrong.

What is the height of a rectangular prism that has a volume of 280 cubic meters,a length of 8 meters, and a width of 7 meters? S

lyudmila [28]

When looking at a rectangular prism, we know that Volume = length * width * height

If we are given that the volume of the prism is 280 cubic meters (m^3), the length is 8 meters, and the width is 7 meters, we can fill in our equation.

280 = 8 * 7 * height
280 = 56 * height

Because we are solving for the height, we divide both sides by 56

280/56 = height

height = 5 meters

A solar collector is 2,0 m long by 1,5 m wide. It is held in place

icang [17]

Answer:

The width of the frame is 0.0746 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that after the frame has been attached to the solar collector, the area that is left exposed is $2.5m^2$ . As we see in the figure, the dimensions of this area are

$(w-2x)$ and $(l-2x)$

where $x$ is the width of the frame.

The product of these dimensions must equal the exposed area:

$(w-2x)(l-2x)=2.5m^2$

Now since $w=1.5m$ and $l=2m$ we have:

$(1.5-2x)(2-2x)=2.5$

we expand this and solve for x using the quadratic formula:

$4x^2-7x+3=2.5$

$4x^2-7x+0.5=0$

we get two solutions:

$x=1.6753$

$x=0.0746$

We take the second solution i.e $x=0.0746$ , because first one gives a width larger than the dimensions of the solar collector which cannot be possible.

Thus the width of the frame is 0.0746 meters.

Write an equation of the line that passes through each points (5,6) (3.4)

ioda

Answer:

$y = x + 1$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by finding the slope of this line.

If a slanting line goes through $(x_{0},\, y_{0})$ and $(x_{1},\, y_{1})$ , where $x_{0} \ne x_{1}$ , the slope of this line would be:

$\begin{aligned}m &= \frac{y_{1} - y_{0}}{x_{1} - x_{0}}\end{aligned}$ .

The line in this question goes through $(5,\, 6)$ and $(3,\, 4)$ . Hence, the slope of this line would be:

$\begin{aligned}m &= \frac{y_{1} - y_{0}}{x_{1} - x_{0}} \\ &= \frac{6 - 4}{5 - 3} \\ &= 1\end{aligned}$ .

If a slanting line with a slope of $m$ and goes through the point $(x_{0},\, y_{0})$ , the equation of this line in the point-slope form would be:

$y - y_{0} = m,\, (x - x_{0})$ .

For the line in this question, the slope is $m = 1$ . Take $(5,\, 6)$ as the chosen point on this line. The point-slope form equation of this line would be:

$y - 6 = (x - 5)$ .

Rewrite to obtain the equation of this line in the slope-intercept form:

$y = x + 1$ .
