Answer:
No
Step-by-step explanation:
Marcus is not correct because 1/12 converts to the repeating decimal 0.8333... but 3/12 converts to 0.25 which is not a repeating decimal.
Rewriting the question, the given lengths that were cut from the board were 30 3/4 inches, 12 1/4 inches, and 16 1/4 inches. To obtain the remaining length of the board, all of the measurements cut are to be added and subtracted from 72 inches. This is shown below:
30 3/4 + 12 1/4 + 16 1/4 = 237/4 = 59.25 inches.
Remaining length of board = 72 - 59.25 = 12.75 inches.
Therefore, there will be 12.75 inches remaining of the board.
Answer:
15
Step-by-step explanation:
Add the total of miles Marisa is going to drive; 200 + 220 = 420
Next, divide the total miles by the average miles Marisa can travel on one gallon of gas; 420 / 28 = 15
(Hope this helps!)
The total amount of the resulting mixture can be calculated by adding up the volume of the given substances assuming that volume addition is applicable given the properties of the fluids used.
That is,
T = 6 quarts + 10 quarts = 16 quarts
The total volume of the resulting mixture is 16.
Then, we do the component (antifreeze) balance by adding up the resulting antifreeze from the substances to the total. We let x be the percentage of antifreeze in the final mixture.
6(0.52) + 10(0.32) = 16(x)
The value of x from the equation is 0.395.
Therefore, the answer to this item is 39.5%.
