2 3/8 - 1 7/8
Change to improper fractions
19/8 - 15/8 = 4/8 = 1/2

If these are mixed numbers, which I believe they are from the context, then the first step is to convert each mixed number into an improper fraction.
2 = 16/8 (sixteen eighths)
16/8 + 3/8 = 19/8
1 = 8/8 (eight eighths)
8/8 + 7/8 = 16/8
Then just subtract these improper fractions:
When subtracting fractions, only subtract the numerators.
19/8 - 16/8 = 3/8 (three eighths)
So the answer is three eighths (3/8)

A group of people were asked if they had run a red light in the last year. 315 responded "yes", and 190 responded "no".
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

0.624

Step-by-step explanation:

Number who have run a red light = 315

Number who haven't run a red light = 190

From the data :

The total number of people sampled = total possible outcome = (315 + 190) = 505

Selecting a person at random, probability that the selected person has run a red light :

P = required outcome / Total possible outcomes

Required outcome = Number who have run a red light = 315

P(having run a red light) = 315 / 505 = 0.624

What is true of the graph of two lines 3y-8=-5x and 6y=-10x+16
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

Both lines are equal (they are the same)

<em></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

3y - 8 = -5x

6y = -10x + 16

Required

What is true about graph of both lines

<em>Questions like this are better solved when there's option(s) to select from. However, some of the properties of line equation that I'll consider are to check  if both lines are either parallel or perpendicular</em>

<em />

To do this,

The first thing to do is to calculate the slope of both lines

3y - 8 = -5x

Add 8 to both sides

3y - 8 + 8 = -5x + 8

3y = -5x + 8

Divide both sided by 3

\frac{3y}{3} = -\frac{5x}{3} + \frac{8}{3}

y = -\frac{5x}{3} + \frac{8}{3}

The slope of the line is the coefficient of x;

Slope = -\frac{5}{3}

Solve for the y intercept; <em>Let x = 0</em>

y = -\frac{5 * 0}{3} + \frac{8}{3}

y = 0 + \frac{8}{3}

y = \frac{8}{3}

Solve for the x intercept; <em>Let y = 0</em>

0 = -\frac{5x}{3} + \frac{8}{3}

Subtract \frac{8}{3} from both sides

0 - \frac{8}{3} = -\frac{5x}{3} + \frac{8}{3} - \frac{8}{3}

- \frac{8}{3} = -\frac{5x}{3}

Subtract both sides by -\frac{3}{5}

-\frac{3}{5}*- \frac{8}{3} = -\frac{5x}{3} * -\frac{3}{5}

-\frac{3}{5}*- \frac{8}{3} = x

\frac{3}{5} * \frac{8}{3} = x

\frac{8}{5} = x

x = \frac{8}{5}

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

6y = -10x + 16

Divide both sides by 6

\frac{6y}{6} = -\frac{10x}{6} + \frac{16}{6}

y = -\frac{10x}{6} + \frac{16}{6}

Simplify fractions to lowest term

y = -\frac{5x}{3} + \frac{8}{3}

The slope of the line is the coefficient of x;

Slope = -\frac{5}{3}

Solve for the y intercept; <em>Let x = 0</em>

y = -\frac{5 * 0}{3} + \frac{8}{3}

y = 0 + \frac{8}{3}

y = \frac{8}{3}

Solve for the x intercept; <em>Let y = 0</em>

0 = -\frac{5x}{3} + \frac{8}{3}

Subtract \frac{8}{3} from both sides

0 - \frac{8}{3} = -\frac{5x}{3} + \frac{8}{3} - \frac{8}{3}

- \frac{8}{3} = -\frac{5x}{3}

Subtract both sides by -\frac{3}{5}

-\frac{3}{5}*- \frac{8}{3} = -\frac{5x}{3} * -\frac{3}{5}

-\frac{3}{5}*- \frac{8}{3} = x

\frac{3}{5} * \frac{8}{3} = x

\frac{8}{5} = x

x = \frac{8}{5}

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

By comparing the slope, x intercept and y intercept of both lines;

It'll be observed that they have the same slope, x intercept and y intercept

<em>This implies that both lines are equal; in other words, they are the same.</em>

Find the lateral area of the cylinder. Give your answer in terms of pi
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

<h2>204π units²</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The lateral area of the cylinder includes both the side and the ends.

The area of the side can be found by calculating the circumference of the cylinder and multiplying that by the height:  A = 2π(6 units )(11 units) = 132π units².

The area of one end of this cylinder can be found by applying the "area of a circle" formula:  A = πr².  Here, with r = 6 units, A = π(6 units)² = 36π units².  Since the cylinder has two ends, the total area of the ends is thus 2(36π units) = 72π units.

The total lateral area of the cylinder is thus 72π units² + 132π units², or 204π units²

I need help and please explain how to actually solve these please! Thankyou

Realize the tangent function has a period of 180°, so when your calculator (or memory) tells you
.. θ = arctan(-1)
.. θ = -45°
you can translate that value into the desired range by adding multiples of 180° to get the two solutions ...
.. θ = 135°
.. θ = 315°
