Answer:

The angles are 69.2 degrees and 20.8 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Complementary angles, when added together, = 90°

We’ll call the first unknown angle a and the second angle b

b = a - 48.4

a + b = 90

So let’s substitute in for b in the second equation:

a + a - 48.4 = 90

2a - 48.4 = 90

2a = 138.4

a = 69.2

69.2 - 48.4 = 20.8 = b

Now, does a + b = 90?

69.2 + 20.8 = 90

Roman55 [17]

Answer:

Chelsea can make 3 $\frac{1}{2}$ batches of icing with 7/8 pounds of butter.

Step-by-step explanation:

7/8 ÷ 1/4 (reciprocate 1/4 to replace division sign with multiplication sign)

= 7/8 x 4/1

= 28/8

= 7/2

= 3 $\frac{1}{2}$

This means that Chelsea can make 3 $\frac{1}{2}$ batches of icing with 7/8 pounds of butter.

I hope this helps :)
