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

Your friends and you notice a classmate who always has brand new clothes, shoes, and electronics. What would you need to know in
sashaice [31]

To know if the classmate’s family is actually wealthy, one will need to know their assets and their debt.

<h3>What is an asset?</h3>

In financial accounting, an asset means a resource that is owned or controlled by a business or an economic entity. An asset is anything that can be used to produce positive economic value.

Assets represent the value of ownership that can be converted into cash and the examples of personal financial assets include cash and bank accounts, real estate, personal property like furniture and vehicles, and investments such as stocks, mutual funds, and retirement plans.

In this case, through the assets, one will be able to know that they're wealthy. The debt is an obligation that requires one party, the debtor, to pay money or other agreed-upon value to another party, the creditor. This is the money that they owe.

The asset should more than the debt.

A box's volume is equal to 600 cubic
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Length = x

width = x - 7

height = x - 10

volume = 600 in^3

Volume = L * w * h

600 = x * (x - 7)*(x - 10)

600 = x * (x^2 - 17x + 70)

600 = x^3 - 17x^2 + 70x

x^3 - 17x^2 + 70x - 600 = 0

There is a genius somewhere that could solve this using algebra. The rest of us have 2 choices. We can graph it (see below) or we could use a program that solves it for us. I'll do both for you.

a = 1

b  = - 17

c = 70

d = - 600

There is only 1 real solution: x = 15

L = 15

w = 8

h = 5

That has to be one of the ugliest graphs made. It does into the hundreds of thousands and it still looks like a straight line. Trust me. It's not.
