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

From the remainder theorem, the remainder will be -2 and the relationship between f(x) and x + 2 is an inverse relationship.

<h3>What is the remainder of the division of the given polynomial?</h3>

The remainder theorem is used to determine the remainder where a polynomial is divided by a binomial.

The remainder theorem states that if a polynomial p(x) is divided by a binomial x - a, the remainder of the division is p(a).

Given the following division, f(x)/ x + 2

We can rewrite the binomial in this form:

x + 2 = x - (-2)

The division then becomes:

f(x)/ x - (-2)

From the remainder theorem, the remainder will be -2.

Therefore, the relationship between f(x) and x + 2 is an inverse relationship such that f(2) = -2

Answer:

990 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

I will ASSUME that BOTH wheel dimensions given are diameters and the wheels begin at the same point and are moving in the same direction.

circumference is πD

15π56 - 15π35 = 15π(56 - 35) = 15π21 = 15(22/7)21 = 990 inches
