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}

If one acute angle of a right triangle measure 37 what's the measure of the other acute angle
Ghella [55]

53°

Step-by-step:

- All angles in a triangle add up to 180°.

- Since your triangle is a right angle triangle, one of the angles are 90°.

- You already know another one, 37°.

- All you have to do to find the last one is to subtract the two you already know from 180.

180 - (90+37)

= 180 - 127

= 53

The measure of the last angle is 53°.
