Answer:

6\frac{1}{3} or \frac{19}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewriting our equation with parts separated

=8+1/2−2−1/6

Solving the whole number parts

8−2=6

Solving the fraction parts

1/2−1/6=?

Find the LCD of 1/2 and 1/6 and rewrite to solve with the equivalent fractions.

LCD = 6

3/6−1/6=2/6

Reducing the fraction part, 2/6,

2/6=1/3

Combining the whole and fraction parts

6+1/3=6 1/3

In preparing a certain ointment, a pharmacist used 28.35 g of zinc oxide instead of the 31.1 g called for. Calculate the percent
Vilka [71]

Answer: 9.70%

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find the percentage error is given by :-

\%\text{ error}=\dfrac{|\text{Estimate-Actual}|}{\text{Actual}}\times100

Given : Actual mass of zinc oxide used by pharmacist = 28.35 g

Estimated mass of zinc oxide used by pharmacist =31.1 g

Now, \%\text{ error}=\dfrac{|31.1-28.35|}{28.35}\times100

i.e. \%\text{ error}=\dfrac{2.75}{28.35}\times100

i.e. \%\text{ error}=9.70017636684\approx9.70\%

Hence, the  percentage of error on the basis of the desired quantity.= 9.70%

Butoxors [25]

Take the points and plug them into the inequality in their place. (5(x),3(y))

3 < 9(5) + 8

3 < 45 + 8

3 < 53

or

3 is less than 53

Is this statement correct?
