3/2
<em>Step One:</em> 1 3/8, transform the number into a improper fraction:
- To have a mixed number in to a improper fraction, you need to use addition and multiplication. For 1 3/8, We first multiply the denominator (8, also know to be the bottom number of the fraction) to the whole number (1). 8x1= 8
- NOTE: The original denominator (8) will be use for are improper, again playing as the denominator, we only multiply the denominator for the numerator (which is the top number of a fraction).
- After multiplying, we'll add are product with the numerator (3) for the process. 8+3= 12
- Now we have both numerator and denominator for 1 3/8, we can create the improper fraction. 12 as the numerator and 8 as the denominator. 12/8
- We still need to simplify the number. To that, we need the biggest whole number, or rather I call it the lowest number, that can be divide both in 12 and 8.
- 4 can be divide by both number so: 12/4= 3 and 8/4=2
- Now 3 is are simplify numerator and 2 is are simplify denominator.
Im not sure but I think the correct answers are:
3. B
4. A
Complete Question
Sophie pays m dollars to rent a car for the weekend. On the drive home, she buys $45 worth of gasoline. Her friend Melody pays for one-half the cost of the car rental only. Write an expression you could use to determine how much Sophie spent.
Answer:
1/2m + 45
Step-by-step explanation:
We are told in the question that:
On the drive home, she buys $45 worth of gasoline.
Her friend Melody pays for one-half the cost of the car rental only.
Sophie pays m dollars to rent a car for the weekend.
The amount sophie pays for car rental = m - 1/2m
= 1/2m
Therefore, the expression used to determine how much sophie spent is written as:
1/2 × $m + $45
1/2m + 45
Answer:
- The scientist can use these two measurements to calculate the distance between the Sun and the shooting star by applying one of the trigonometric functions: Cosine of an angle.
- The scientist can substitute these measurements into 
and solve for the distance between the Sun and the shooting star (which would be the hypotenuse of the righ triangle).
Step-by-step explanation:
You can observe in the figure attached that "AC" is the distance between the Sun and the shooting star.
Knowing the distance between the Earth and the Sun "y" and the angle x°, the scientist can use only these two measurements to calculate the distance between the Sun and the shooting star by applying one of the trigonometric functions: Cosine of an angle.
This is:
In this case:
Therefore, the scientist can substitute these measurements into , and solve for the distance between the Sun and the shooting star "AC":
Answer:
Last option
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Distribute
x - 3/7 = 1
Step 2: Add 3/7 to both sides
x = 1 + 3/7
x = 10/7
