Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

√a+5=4

Solve Square Root.

√a+5=4

a+5=42(Square both sides)

a+5=16

a+5−5=16−5(Subtract 5 from both sides)

a=11

If one basket contains five bottles each weighing 7 1/4 ANSYS and the other basket has six apples each weighing 6 1/2 ounces woo

Tems11 [23]

<em>Question:</em>

<em>If one basket contains five bottles each weighing 7 1/4 and the other basket has six apples each weighing 6 1/2 ounces. Which basket is heavier and by how much ?</em>

Answer:

The basket of bottles weighs more than the basket of apples by $3\frac{3}{4}$ ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Bottles = 5$

$Weight(Bottle) = 7\frac{1}{4}$

$Apples = 6$

$Weight(Apple) = 6\frac{1}{2}$

Required

Determine which basket is heavy

and by how much?

First, we need the total weight of each basket.

For the bottles' basket

$Total\ Weight = Weight * Bottles$

$Total\ Weight = 7\frac{1}{4} * 5$

$Total\ Weight = \frac{29}{4} * 5$

$Total\ Weight = \frac{29 * 5}{4}$

$Total\ Weight = \frac{145}{4}$

$Total\ Weight = 36\frac{1}{4}$

For the bottles' basket

$Total\ Weight = Weight * Apples$

$Total\ Weight = 6\frac{1}{2} * 5$

$Total\ Weight = \frac{13}{2} * 5$

$Total\ Weight = \frac{13* 5}{2}$

$Total\ Weight = \frac{65}{2}$

$Total\ Weight = 32\frac{1}{2}$

By comparing both total weights, $36\frac{1}{4} > 32\frac{1}{2}$

Hence:

The basket of bottles weighs more than the basket of apples

Calculating the difference:

$Difference = 36\frac{1}{4} - 32\frac{1}{2}$

$Difference = \frac{145}{4} - \frac{65}{2}$

$Difference = \frac{145 - 130}{4}$

$Difference = \frac{15}{4}$

$Difference = 3\frac{3}{4}$

Hence:

It weighs more by $3\frac{3}{4}$ ounces

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

D 40,000nm

Step-by-step explanation: 1nm/10^-9m * 10^-6/1um = 10^3 nm/um

Therefore in 40 microns there are:

40um * 10^3 nm/um = 40 * 10^3 nm = 40,000 nm

What is the number whose 4/5 is 144?

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

180

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply 144 by the reciprocal of $\frac{4}{5}$ , that is

The reciprocal of $\frac{4}{5}$ is $\frac{1}{\frac{4}{5} }$ = $\frac{5}{4}$ , then

$\frac{5}{4}$ × 144 = $\frac{5(144)}{4}$ = 180
