Answer:

3 11/16 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Lynne bought a bag of grapefruit, 1 5/8 pounds of apples, and 2 3/16 pounds of bananas. The total weight of her purchases was 7 1/2 pounds. How much did the bag of grapefruit weigh?'

The Total weight = Weight of grape fruits + Weight of Apples + Weight of Bananas

Let the weight of the grape fruit = x

7 1/2 = x + 1 5/8 + 2 3/16

x = 7 1/2 - (1 5/8 + 2 3/16)

Lowest Common Denominator = 16

x= 7 1/2 - 3 + ( 10+ 3/16)

x = 7 1/2 - 3 + (13/16)

x = 7 1/2 - 3 13/16

Lowest Common Denominator = 16

x= 4 (8 - 13/16)

x = 4 (-5/16)

x = 3 11/16 pounds

Therefore, the bag of grapefruits weighed 3 11/16 pounds

Five friends split a $65.20 bill at a restaurant . They also each left $2.75 for the tip. How much money did each person pay in
kvv77 [185]
You start by doing 65.20 (the bill) divided by 5 (the amount of people paying)
65.20 / 5 = 13.04 

Then you add 13.04 (how much each person paid towards the bill) and 2.75 (the amount of money each person left as a tip) 
13.04 + 2.75 = 15.79

Each person paid $15.79

PLEASE HELP!!!
krok68 [10]
A parabola, a graph of a quadratic function, cannot have a maximum vertex and a minimum vertex at the same time because of the shape of the graph.  A parabola is a u-shaped graph.  The vertex of the parabola is the point where the u changes direction; if it was increasing, it starts to decrease, and if it was decreasing, it starts to increase.  Since a parabola only changes direction once, there will either be a minimum or a maximum, not both.
