Answer:

\frac{41}{28} = 1\frac{13}{28}

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to add fractions, the denominators must all be the same value (the lowest common denominator). The <em>lowest common denominator</em> is the smallest value that all of the given denominators (in this case, the denominators are 4, 14, and 7) can divide into.

Here, the smallest number that all three of the given denominators can perfectly divide into is 28:

28 ÷ 4 = 7

28 ÷ 14 = 2

28 ÷ 7 = 4

<em>Therefore, our lowest common denominator is 28.</em>

<em />

The next step is to change our numerators to match our lowest common denominator. To do this, we have to multiply the numerator by the same value that we would need to multiple the denominator by in order to get our lowest common denominator.

For our first term of 1/4, we need to multiply our denominator (4) by 7 in order to get our lowest common denominator of 28. So, we need to also multiply our numerator by 7:

\frac{1}{4} × \frac{7}{7} = \frac{7}{28}

<em>Therefore, our first term becomes </em>\frac{7}{28}<em>.</em>

For our second term of 5/14, we need to multiply our denominator (14) by 2. So, we need to also multiply our numerator by 2:

\frac{5}{14} × \frac{2}{2} = \frac{10}{28}

<em>Therefore, our second term becomes </em>\frac{10}{28}<em>.</em>

For our third term of 6/7, we need to multiply our denominator (7) by 4. So, we need to also multiply our numerator by 4:

\frac{6}{7} × \frac{4}{4} = \frac{24}{28}

<em>Therefore, our third term becomes </em>\frac{24}{28}<em>.</em>

Now that they all have the same denominator, we simply have to add all three together:

\frac{7}{28} + \frac{10}{28}<em> </em>+<em> </em>\frac{24}{28}<em> </em>= \frac{41}{28}

When we simplify this into a mixed number, we get:

\frac{41}{28} = 1\frac{13}{28}

A thin sheet of ice is in the form of a circle. If the ice is melting in such a way that the area of the sheet is decreasing at
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

dx/dt  =  0,04 m/sec

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the circle is:

A(c) =π*x²      where   x is a radius of the circle

Applying differentiation in relation to time we get:

dA(c)/dt   =  π*2*x* dx/dt    

In this equation we know:

dA(c)/dt  = 0,5 m²/sec

And are looking for dx/dt then

0,5  = 2*π*x*dx/dt    when the area of the sheet is 12 m²  (1)

When  A(c) = 12 m²      x = ??

A(c)  =  12  =  π*x²      ⇒    12  =  3.14* x²    ⇒  12/3.14  =  x²

x²  = 3,82     ⇒   x  = √3,82    ⇒  x = 1,954 m

Finally plugging ths value in equation (1)

0,5  = 6,28*1,954*dx/dt

dx/dt  =  0,5 /12.28

dx/dt  =  0,04 m/sec

Tyler made 9 1/2 cups of lemonade. He offers 3/4-cup servings of lemonade to some relatives at a family pinic. What is the GREAT
Savatey [412]
Divide the total portion (9 1/2 cups) by the portion size (3/4 cup).

=9 1/2 ÷ 3/4
convert 9 1/2 to improper fraction

=19/2 ÷ 3/4
to divide fractions, multiply by the reciprocal/inverse of 3/4

=19/2 * 4/3
multiply numerators; multiply denominators

=(19*4)/(2*3)

=76/6

=12.666666


ANSWER: The greatest number he can offer servings to is C) 12

Hope this helps! :)

Please help and explain
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

The three angles inside of the triangle sum to 180

11x + 4       + 3x      + 78 = 180

14x +82 =180

x = 7

then B =   11x + 4    = 11(7) + 4 = 81 degrees

C =  3x = 21 degrees

Why might the range not be the best estimate of variability?
Zinaida [17]
It may be because the range isn't actually considered an average, it's shown using a box and whiskers diagram, Mode is the most common number. Mean is all the numbers added up and divided by the amount of values there are in the adding up process. so overall the range is less useful to show variability as it only shows the lowest and highest number in the data, and not the different individual numbers variety amongst the results
