Answer:

5/6 books

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that Mark read 2 1/2 books last week. This week, he read a bit more with 3 1/3 books.

To find how many more books he read, we must subtract 2 1/2 from 3 1/3:

3 1/3 - 2 1/2

Let's convert these into improper fractions first:

3 1/3 = (3 * 3 + 1) / 3 = 10/3

2 1/2 = (2 * 2 + 1) / 2 = 5/2

Now, we have:

10/3 - 5/2

In order to subtract these, we must find a common denominator. For 2 and 3, the LCM is 6, so we can use that as our common denominator:

10/3 * 2/2 = 20/6

5/2 * 3/3 = 15/6

Finally, we have:

20/6 - 15/6 = (20 - 15) / 6 = 5/6 books

Finf the exact value of sin A and cos A where a = 9 and b = 10 and <c is a right angle

Katyanochek1 [597]

To solve for the longest side, the hypotenuse, you have to use the pythagorean theorem. It will be 10^2 + 9^2 = c^2. 100 + 81 =c^2.
c^2 = 181 so c = sqrt(181).
to find sin of A do opposite/hypotenuse which gives you 9/sqrt(181)
to find cos of A do adjacent/hypotenuse which gives you 10/sqrt(181)

$\dfrac{ \dfrac{x+3}{4x^2-16} }{ \dfrac{2x^2+10x+12}{2x-4} }$

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Write the divide fraction horizontally:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

$= \dfrac{x+3}{4x^2-16} \div \dfrac{2x^2+10x+12}{2x-4}$

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Factorise the numerators and denominators when possible:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

$= \dfrac{x+3}{4(x+2)(x-2)} \div \dfrac{ 2(x + 3) (x + 2)}{2(x-2)}$

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Convert the divide fraction to multiplication fraction
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

$= \dfrac{x+3}{4(x+2)(x-2)} \times \dfrac{2(x-2)}{2(x+3)(x+2)}$

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cancel the factors
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$= \dfrac{1}{4(x+2)} \times \dfrac{1}{(x+2)}$

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Combine to single fraction
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

$= \dfrac{1}{4(x+2)^2}$

Consider the following data set:

Komok [63]

Answer:

+5 Range; The range is now 25

Step-by-step explanation:

The original range would be calculated by subtracting 20 from 40, giving you 20 as the range. However, with the point 15 added, there would be a new lowest number, making the new range be 40-15, which is 25.
