Find the difference 9 1/3 - 2/3

Mathematics
1 answer:
olga2289 [7]4 years ago

Answer:  9 1/3 - 2/3 =  8  2/3 .
___________________________________

Note:  If the answer were "8 1/3" ; 

then:  "8 1/3 + 2/3 =? 9 1/3 ? "  

      → "8 1/3 + 2/3 = 8  3/3 = 8 + 1 = 9 = only "9" ;
____________________________________________
So the answer has to be MORE than "8 1/3"

Try "8 2/3"  → "8 2/3 + 2/3 =? 9 1/3?" ?? ; 
        
                  → "8 2/3 + 2/3 = 8 4/3 = 8 + 1 1/3 = 9 1/3 " → Yes!
_________________________________________________
 So, the answer is:  "8  2/3" .
_________________________________________________
Another method:
_________________
Given the problem:  "<span>9 1/3 - 2/3 " ;
___________________________________
Note that:  "2/3 = 1/3 + 1/3"
__________________________________
So, "</span><span>9 1/3 - 2/3 = 9 1/3 - (1/3 + 1/3) = 9 1/3 - 1/3 - 1/3 = ?
 ________________________________________________
   Start with:  "</span>9 1/3 - 2/3" = 9.  Then 9 - 1/3 = 8 3/3 - 1/3 = 8 2/3.
<span>______________________________________________________
</span>Another method:
____________________________
Given the problem:  
____________________________
  "9 1/3 - 2/3 = ?? " ;
____________________________
  Convert "9 1/3" into "28/3" ;  ("3*9 = 27"); ("27+1=28");
                                           (The "3" comes from the "3" in the: "1/3" portion.)
_________________________________________________________
  So, we rewrite as:  
_____________________________________
   28/3 - 2/3 = (28 - 2) / 3 = 26/3 ; or, 8  2/3 .

PLEASE HELP ME NOW!!
puteri [66]

Answer:

x=4+-2\sqrt{7}

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, we need to take square root of both sides first:

(x-4)^2=28\\\sqrt{(x-4)^2} =+-\sqrt{28} \\x-4=+-\sqrt{28}

Now we use the property of radical shown below to simplify square root of 28:

Property:  \sqrt{x*y}=\sqrt{x} \sqrt{y}

Now, we have:

x-4=+-\sqrt{28}\\x-4=+-\sqrt{4*7}\\x-4=+-\sqrt{4}\sqrt{7}\\x-4=+-2\sqrt{7}

Now we take 4 to the other side and isolate x:

x-4=+-2\sqrt{7} \\x=4+-2\sqrt{7}

first answer choice is right.

35 points!!!! WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST 
Arturiano [62]

Answer  

Find out the  length of OP .

To prove

As given

In △JKL, ​ JO=44 in. ​

Now as shown in the diagram.

JP , MK, NL be the median of the △JKL and intresection of the JP , MK, NL be O .

Thus O be the centroid of the  △JKL .

The centroid divides each median in a ratio of 2:1 .

Let us assume x be the scalar multiple of the OP and JO .

As given

JO = 44 in

2x = 44

x = 22 in

Thus the length of the OP IS 22 in .

Soleil and Malvin each work a job. Soleil starts with $700 and makes $100 per day. Malvin starts out with $200 and makes $120 pe
Goshia [24]

Answer:

Soleil and Malvin would have $ 5,000 all together after 13 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Soleil and Malvin each work a job, and Soleil starts with $ 700 and makes $ 100 per day while Malvin starts out with $ 200 and makes $ 120 per day, to determine after how many days will they have at least $ 5000 all together it must be done the following calculation:

5,000 - 700 - 200 = 4,100

200X + 120X = 4,100

320X = 4,100

X = 4,100 / 320

X = 12.8

So Soleil and Malvin would have $ 5,000 all together after 13 days.
