-0.75-(-2/5)+0.4+(-3/4)
RSB [31]

-0.75-(-2/5)+0.4+(-3/4) =  -0.7 simplified, how I got this answer can be found below in 16 steps.

1 - First thing we want to do is remove the parentheses.

-0.75 - (-2/5) + 0.4 - 3/4

2 - Then we simplify, multiply -1 by -1.

-0.75 + 1 (2/5) + 0.4 - 3/4

3 - Then multiply 2/5 by 1.

-0.75 + 2/5 + 0.4 - 3/4

4 - Then we want to write - 0.75/1 as a fraction with a common denominator, we do this by multiplying by 5/5.

-0.75/1 * 5/5 + 2/5 + 0.4 - 3/4

5 - Then we write each expression with a common denominator of 5, we multiply each one by a factor of one.

-0.75 * 5/1*5 + 2/5 + 0.4 - 3/4

6 - Then we multiply 5 by 1.

-0.75 * 5 / 5 + 2/5 + 0.4 - 3/4

7 - Then we combine the numerators over the common denominator.

-0.75*5+2/5+0.4-3/4

8 - We multiply -0.75 by 5.

-3.75 + 2/5 + 0.4 - 3/4

9 - Then we add -3.75 and 2.

-1.75/5+0.4-3/4

10 - And then we divide -1.75 by 5.

-0.35 + 0.4 - 3/4

11 - Then add -0.35 and 0.4.

0.05 - 3/4

12 - We then write 0.05/1 as a fraction with a common denominator, we do this via multiplying it by 4/4.

0.05/1 * 4/4 - 3/4

13 - Then we write each expression with a common denominator of 4, through multiplying each by a factor of 1.

0.05 * 4/4 - 3/4

14 - We combine the numerators over the common denominator.

0.05 * 4 - 3 / 4

15 - We simplify.

-2.8 / 4

16 - Then we divide -2.8 / 4

The final answer is -0.7

Find the volume of a cylinder with a diameter of 8 inches and a height that is three times the radius.
Eddi Din [679]

Step-by-step explanation:

volume = pi x radius² x height

okay so the cylinders diameter is 8 inches

diameter divided by 2 is radius so 8/2 = 4

so 3 times the radius will be 3x4 = 12

use the formula above and then you will get your answer

Also need help with this question
Masja [62]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

In option c, the first block is divided into 3 pieces where 2 parts are shaded whereas the second block is divided into 6 pieces where 3 parts are shaded

For both to be equivalent, both of them should be the same

2/3 = x/6

x = 4

4 pieces should be shaded in in the second block to be equal to the first one, in the diagram only 3 parts are shaded thus the answer is c

Which function represents g(x) a reflection of f(x)=4[1/2]x across the x-axis
mestny [16]
A function, such  is a mathematical collection of algebraic terms. Functions can be reflected across the x-axis by multiplying the entire function by -1. In this case multiplying the function  by -1 leads to -4x/2. Hence the new function is -4x/2. Functions can also be reflected in the y-axis by replacing x with -x.

A recipe calls for 1 1/2 cups of mayonnaise and 3/8 cups of pecans. How much mayonnaise should be used if 1 cup of pecans is use
Elodia [21]

Answer:

4 cups of mayonnaise.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the amount of pecans comparing reality and the recipe is:

1 : 3/8

= 1/(3/8)

= 8/3

Hence, to find the amount of mayonnaise that should be added:

8/3 * 3/2

= 8/2

= 4 cups

Hope this helped!
