Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

convert the mixed number into an improper fraction

2¾ = 11/4

(2¾)÷(¼) = (11/4)÷(¼) = (11/4) × (4/1) = 11

11 pieces

Answer:

a. $\frac{\textbf{17}}{\textbf{4}}$

b. $\frac{\textbf{3}}{\textbf{8}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

a. $\textbf{3} \hspace{1mm} \textbf{+} \hspace{1mm} \textbf{1}\frac{\textbf{1}}{\textbf{4}}$

A mixed fraction of the form $a\frac{x}{y} = a + \frac{x}{y}$

$\therefore 3 + 1\frac{1}{4} = 3 + 1 + \frac{1}{4}$

$= 4 + \frac{1}{4}$

$= \frac{\textbf{17}}{\textbf{4}}$

b. $\textbf{2} \hspace{1mm} \textbf{-} \hspace{1mm} \textbf{1}\frac{\textbf{5}}{\textbf{8}}$

A mixed fraction of the form $-c\frac{a}{b} = - c - \frac{a}{b}$

$\therefore 2 - 1\frac{5}{8} = 2 - 1 - \frac{5}{8}$

$= 1 - \frac{5}{8}$

$= \frac{8 - 5}{8}$

$= \frac{\textbf{3}}{\textbf{8}}$

Hence, the answer.

Answer:

No Real Solutions.

Step-by-step explanation:

√(x-5)=8√(x-2)

Square on both sides,

(√(x-5))^2=(8√(x-2))^2

or,(x-5)=64(x-2)

or,x-5=64x-128

or,-5+128=64x-x

or,123/63=x

Therefore, x=41/21

If you plug x=41/21 in √(x-5)=8√(x-2) you do not get equals, so the problem has no real solutions.

A line passes through the point (-6, 6) and (-6, 2). In two or more complete sentences, explain why it is not possible to write

Alenkinab [10]

The line passes through two points that have the same x-coordinate.
It is a vertical line. To find the slope of a line, use any two points. Subtract the y-coordinates. Subtract the x-coordinates in the same order. Then divide the difference of the y-coordinates by the difference of the x-coordinates. Since in this case, the x-coordinates are both -6, the difference between the x-coordinates is zero. Division by zero is not defined, so the slope of this line is undefined. You can't write its equation in point-slope form, because there is no slope for this line.

Butyric acid ( c3h7cooh) is a weak acid . what is the ph of a 0.0250 m solution of this acid. ka = 1.5 x 10-5 (2 decimal places)

Wewaii [24]

The pH of the weak acid is 3.21

Butyric acid is known as a weak acid, we need the concentration of [H+] formula of weak acid which is given by this equation :

$[H^{+}]=\sqrt{Ka . Ma}$

where [H+] is the concentration of ion H+, Ka is the weak acid ionization constant, and Ma is the acid concentration.

Since we know the concentration of H+, the pH can be calculated by using

pH = -log[H+]

From question above, we know that :

Ma = 0.0250M

Ka = 1.5 x 10¯⁵

By using the equation, we can determine the concentration of [H+]

[H+] = √(Ka . Ma)

[H+] = √(1.5 x 10¯⁵ . 0.0250)

[H+] = 6.12 x 10¯⁴ M

Substituting the value of [H+] to get the pH

pH = -log[H+]

pH = -log(6.12 x 10¯⁴)

pH = 3.21

Hence, the pH of the weak acid c3h7cooh is 3.21
