Four children average is 15.25 so ages must add to 61
61-12-16=33
11 and 22 go into 33
Youngest is 11

Help<br> Simplify. 2−4÷2+2^3

Radda [10]

Hey there!

If we use pemdas:

P - Parentheses
E - Exponents
M - Multiplicatiom
D - Division
A - Addition
S - Subtractiom

We know we have to evaluate the exponent first. Two to the rid power is equal to 8. Therefore, we have:

2 - 4/2 + 8

Next, we do the division. -4/2 = -2, so we have:

2-2 + 8 = 0 + 8 = 8

Hope this helps!

By using the formula for arithmetic sequence, the 16th term of the progression can be obtained. Given A1=8 and d=3,
A16=A1+(n-1)d
A16=8+(16-1)(3)
A16=53

What is the length of HG?

Leviafan [203]

Answer:

$HG = 5$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$HE = 8mm$

$EF = 12mm$

$Area = 68mm^2$

Find the length of HG

First, it should be noted that the displayed figure is a trapezium

<em>The area of a trapezium is calculated by multiplying the sum of parallel sides by half its height;</em>

In this case;

$Area = \frac{HG + EF}{2} * HE$

Substitute the values of Area, HE and EF

$68 = \frac{HG + 12}{2} * 8$

$68 = (HG + 12) * 4$

Divide both sides by 4

$\frac{68}{4} = \frac{(HG + 12) * 4}{4}$

$17 = HG + 12$

Subtract 12 from both sides

$17 - 12 = HG + 12 - 12$

$5 = HG$

$HG = 5$

<em>Hence, the length of HG is 5mm</em>

David has 3 1/2 cups of blueberries. He uses 1/4 of a cup of blueberries to make a breakfast smoothie. He uses 1/2 of the remain

dusya [7]

Answer:

$1\frac{5}{8}$ cup of blueberries

Step-by-step explanation:

Since David starts out with 3 1/2 cups of blueberries and uses 1/4 cup to make a smoothie, we will need to subtract 1/4 from his starting amount of 3 1/2

$3\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{4} =3\frac{1}{4}$ David now has 3 1/4 cup of blueberries

David then uses half of this new amount of blueberries to make his pancakes. We will need to divide by 2 in order to figure out how much half is

First we can turn 3 1/4 into an improper fraction to make it easier to work with → 3 1/4 = 13/4
Now dividing 13/4 by 2 gives us $\frac{\frac{13}{4} }{2} =(\frac{13}{4})(\frac{1}{2}) = \frac{13}{8}$
David used 13/8 cups of blueberries to make his pancakes
Turning this back into a mixed number leaves him with 1 5/8 cup of blueberries
