What is the distance between -2 1/2, -5 3/4

Mathematics
1 answer:
Leviafan [203]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

it's kinda confusing b/c of the minus signs.. huh...  but -5 is less than -2 sooo

start with

-2 1/2  - (-5 3/4 )

=5 3/4 - 2 1/2

=5 3/4 - 2 2/4

=23/4 - 10/4

=13/4

there you go...  :)

if you want it back in proper fractions

3 1/4

-4x + 6 = 3x - 36<br><br> How do I solve this
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

-4x + 6 = 3x - 36

Step 2: Solve for <em>x</em>

  1. Add 4x to both sides: 6 = 7x - 36
  2. Add 36 to both sides: 42 = 7x
  3. Divide both sides by 7: x = 6

Step 3: Check

<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>

-4(6) + 6 = 3(6) - 36

-24 + 6 = 18 - 36

-18 = -18

If the geometric mean of a and 28 is 16 sqrt 7 find a
kozerog [31]

Answer:

a = 64

Step-by-step explanation:

The geometric mean of 2 numbers a and b is \sqrt{ab} , then

\sqrt{28a} = 16\sqrt{7} ( square both sides )

28a = (16\sqrt{7} )² = 1792 ( divide both sides by 28 )

a = 64

A gardener already has four and one over 2 ft of fencing in his garage. He wants to fence in a square garden for his flowers. Th
NikAS [45]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

6\frac{1}{2}<u>, "six and one over two ft".</u>

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

Let's considerate the fact that the garden has a <u>square shape</u>.

<h3>1. Finding values of interest.</h3>

Amount of fence that the gardener already has: 4\frac{1}{2} ft.

Length of one side: 2\frac{3}{4} ft.

If one side measures 2\frac{3}{4} ft, and the square garden has 4 sides of equal length, because it's a square, then we must multiply the measure of one side by 4 to find the total length of fence needed:

4*(2\frac{3}{4})=\\ \\4*(2+\frac{3}{4})=\\ \\(4*2)+(4*\frac{3}{4})=\\ \\8+(\frac{12}{4} )=\\ \\8+3=\\ \\11

<h3>2. How much more does he need?</h3>

The gardener already has  4\frac{1}{2} , which equals 4 + \frac{1}{2}. Hence, the difference between the amount needed and the amount that the gardeneralready has will give us the remaining amount required. Let's do that:

11-(4+\frac{1}{2} )=\\ \\11-(\frac{8}{2} +\frac{1}{2} )=\\ \\11-\frac{9}{2}= \\ \\\frac{22}{2} -\frac{9}{2}=\\\\ \frac{13}{2}

<h3>3. Express your result.</h3>

\frac{13}{2} =\\ \\\frac{2}{2} +\frac{2}{2} +\frac{2}{2} +\frac{2}{2} +\frac{2}{2} +\frac{2}{2} +\frac{1}{2}= \\ \\6+\frac{1}{2}=\\ \\6\frac{1}{2}
