Answer: Answer:

2 4/16 = 2 1/4 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

The pointer is 4 of the smallest units above 2. There are 16 of those small units. Each 2 of those units is 1/8 pound, so when the pointer is on a multiple of 2 units, it is on a multiple of 1/8 pound. No guesswork is required to choose the correct weight to the nearest 1/8 pound.

2 4/16 = 2 1/4 lb . . . . the scale reading to the nearest 1/8 pound.

Sumalee won 40 super bouncy balls playing horseshoes at her schools game last night. Later, she gave two to each of her friends.

Lina20 [59]

Before jumping into doing this problem, it is important to look at all the information's that have been made available in the question. Based on those given conditions the answer to the problem can be easily deduced.
Let us assume the number of friends Sumalee has = x
Then
2x + 8 = 40
2x = 40 -8
2x = 32
x = 32/2
x = 16
So Sumalee has 16 friends. There are numerous ways to get to the answer that is required to be found. This is the easiest and the shortest method. Hope i helped you.

The function h(x)=x^2+3 and g(x)=x^2-6. if g(x)=h(x)+k, what us the value of k

lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

The value of k is -9

Step-by-step explanation:

Subsitute

g(x)=h(x)+k

$(x^2-6)=(x^2+3)+k$

$x^2-6=x^2+3+k$

subtract $x^2+3$ from both sides (or add $-x^2-3$ to both sides)

$-9=k$

$k=-9$

I need some help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Step-by-step explanation:

We are dealing with theoretical probability. This means that our probability of said outcome is

$\frac{x}{y}$

where x is the outcome we want, and y is the total number of outcomes possible.

28. There is 3 triangles out of 6 polygons so the probability is 1/2.

29.There is 1 Pentagon so the probability is 1/6.

30. This is a complement to question 28. A complement is the inverse of the problem. A complement and its original add to 1 so the probability of both getting a triangle is 1/2.

31. There is 4 non quadraletrial so the probability is 2/3.

32. There is 3 figures that has more sides than three so 1/2 is the probability.

33.There is only multi right angles figures so 1/2 is the probability.

34. There is 30 days in April so the probability it's the 29th is

$\frac{1}{30}$

35. There is 31 days in July and 15 days after the 16th. So the probability

$\frac{15}{31}$
