Answer:

6 11/40

Step-by-step explanation:

First you have to convert the fractions into improper fractions, where 8 7/8 would turn into 71/8 and 2 3/5 would turn into 13/5. Then you have to find a common denominator which would be 40, so you get 355/40 and 104/40. Then to find the remaining amount, you have to subtract 104/40 from the 355/40, so 355/40 - 104/40, which equals 251/40. This turns into 6 11/40, which can't be simplified any further. Hope this helps :)

Answer:6 11/40

Step-by-step explanation: You can change your units to decimals or to fractions of equal value. Decimals are easier for this so 8 7/8= 8.875 and 2 3/5 =2.6. Then subtract: 8.875-2.6= 6.275 You can now convert back to a fraction by simplifying the .275 into 11 by dividing by 25 and 1000 into 40 by dividing by 25. 6+11/40= 6 11/40 tea left

Find the inner product for (5,-1)*(-3,6) and state whether the vectors are perpendicular. a. 21; no c. -21; no b. 21; yes d. -21

nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If the dot product of the vectors is zero then they are perpendicular

(5, - 1) • (- 3, 6)

= (5 × - 3) + (- 1 × 6) = - 15 + (- 6) = - 15 - 6 = - 21 ≠ 0

Since product is not zero vectors are not perpendicular

At 2pm the level of the water in the pool was 10 feet. At 6pm the level of water was 2 feet. Find the constant rate of the water

adelina 88 [10]

Assuming that the pool was drained at a constant rate, the speed at which it was drained can be expressed as a function of time. In this case, the pool level will be expressed in feet per hour.

The time changed by 4 hours (6-2), and the level of the pool changed by -8 feet (2-10). Diving the feet by the hours to get the rate of decreasing depth, we find that the rate equals -2 feet/hour.
