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 .

4xy(x cubed +5xy- 7y squared)
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

4x^4y + 20x^2y^2 - 28x^3y

Step-by-step explanation:

4xy(x^3 + 5xy - 7x^2)

= 4xyx^3 + 4xy * 5xy - 4xy * 7x^2

= 4x^2y + 4xy * 5xy - 4xy * 7x^2

= 4x^4y + 20x^2y^2 - 4xy * 7x^2

= 4x^4y + 20x^2y^2 - 28x^3y

Ganezh [65]

Answer: area is 286.16 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of the sand pit is 29.2 feet and the width is 9.8 feet.

L= 29.2 ft

W = 9.8 ft

To find out the area, all we have to do is multiply the lenght by the width:

And do not forget that to calculate the area, all units must be the same and for the area, it is always the unit squared, in this case, feet square or simply (ft²).

A = l*w

A = 29.2 * 9.8 = 286.16 ft²
