Answer:  Fraction they both eat = \dfrac{28}{45}.

Fraction of bag remains =  \dfrac{17}{45}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Part of cookies eaten by  Scott = \dfrac25

Part of cookies eaten by sister = \dfrac{2}{9}

Fraction they both eat = \dfrac25+\dfrac29=\dfrac{9\times2+5\times2}{5\times9}

=\dfrac{18+10}{45}\\\\=\dfrac{28}{45}

Fraction of the bag remain = 1-\dfrac{28}{45}=\dfrac{45-28}{45}=\dfrac{17}{45}

[Taking fraction of whole bag =1]

Hence, Fraction they both eat = \dfrac{28}{45}.

Fraction of bag remains =  \dfrac{17}{45}

The length of a radius of a circle, measured in centimeters, is represented by the expression x + 1.5. The diameter of the circl
Tomtit [17]

The value of x of a circle with radius x + 1.5 and diameter of 9 2 / 5 cm is 7.9 cm

<h3>Radius of a circle</h3>

Radius of a circle is half of the diameter of a circle. The radius extend from the centre of the circle to the circumference.

Mathematically,

radius = 1 / 2 (diameter)

Therefore,

radius = (x + 1.5) cm

diameter = 9 2 / 5 cm = 47 / 5 cm

let's find x with the relationship above.

Therefore,

x + 1.5 = 47 / 5

subtract 1.5 from both sides

x + 1.5 - 1.5 = 9.4 - 1.5

x = 7.9 cm
