Answer:

3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

the bone and the steak weigh = 1 5/8 pounds

The bone weighs 7/8

The meat weighs = 15/8 - 7/8

Converting 1 5/8 to an improper fraction gives 13/8

13/8 - 7/8 = 6/8 = 3/4

Suppose that 12 inches of wire cost 48 cents at the same rate how many inches of wire can be bought for 28 cents

goldenfox [79]

Answer:

7 in

Step-by-step explanation:

If 12 inches of wire can be bought for $0.48, we can set up the following ratio:

$\frac{12\text{ in}}{\$0.48}$

Then, to determine how many inches of wire can be bought for $0.28, set up equivalent fractions, as such:

$\frac{12\text{ in}}{\$0.48}=\frac{x}{\$0.28}$

Then, cross-multiply and solve for $x$ :

$\$0.48x=(\$0.28)(12)$

$\$0.48x=\$3.36$

$x=\frac{\$3.36}{\$0.48}$

$x=7$

One angle of a triangle is 30° more than the smallest angle. The largest angle is the sum of the other angles. Find the measures

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer: $\boxed{30^{\circ}, 60^{\circ}, 90^{\circ}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the smallest angle be x.

Then, the middle angle is x+30.

The largest angle is 2x+30.

Angles in a triangle add to 180 degrees, so:

$x+x+30+2x+30=180\\\\4x+60=180\\\\4x=120\\\\x=30$

So, the angles measure $\boxed{30^{\circ}, 60^{\circ}, 90^{\circ}}$

Find the second derivative y=1/5x^2+1/11x

Amiraneli [1.4K]

$\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{1}{5}.x^{2-1}.2 + \frac{1}{11}.x^{1-1}.1$

$\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{2}{5}.x+\frac{1}{11}$

$\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}=\frac{2}{5}.x^{1-1}.1$

$\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}=\frac{2}{5}$
