How to do the problem

marta [7]

There are 153 people who each ate 1/4 pounds. Therefore, the amount of watermelon eaten is 153/4 pounds.
The amount of watermelon served is
$8 \frac{1}{4} + 9 \frac{1}{4} + 8 \frac{7}{8} + 9 \frac{5}{8} + 10 \frac{3}{4}$
$= \frac{8 \times 4 + 1}{4} + \frac{9 \times 4 + 1}{4} \\ + \frac{8 \times 8 + 7}{8} + \frac{9 \times 8 + 5}{8} \\ + \frac{10 \times 4 + 3}{4}$
$= \frac{33}{4} + \frac{37}{4} + \frac{71}{8} + \frac{77}{8} + \frac{43}{4} \\ = \frac{33 \times 2}{4 \times 2} + \frac{37 \times 2}{4 \times 2} + \frac{71}{8} \\ + \frac{77}{8} + \frac{43 \times 2}{4 \times 2}$
$= \frac{66 + 74 + 71 + 77 + 86}{8}$
$= \frac{374}{8} = \frac{186}{4}$
There is 186/4 total watermelon. Minus the 153/4 that was eaten,
$\frac{186 - 153}{4} = \frac{33}{4} = 8 \frac{1}{4}$

The leftover watermelon is 8 & 1/4 pounds.

In a right triangle one acute angle measures 48 more than 2 times the other. If the sum of the measure of the two acute angles m

Ainat [17]

A given angle measures 90°.. Then, note that the total measurement of the triangle is 180°... Subtract 180° by 90°, and the other angles must add up to 90°!

Good luck!

A mother has two children whose ages differ by 5 years. The sum of the squares of their ages is 97. The square of the mother's

svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

41 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent age of younger child.

We have been given that a mother has two children whose ages differ by 5 years. So the age of older child would be $x+5$ .

The sum of the squares of their ages is 97. We can represent this information in an equation as:

$x^2+(x+5)^2=97$

Let us solve for x.

$x^2+x^2+10x+25=97$

$2x^2+10x+25-97=0$

$2x^2+10x-72=0$

Divide both sides by 2:

$x^2+5x-36=0$

$x^2+9x-4x-36=0$

$x(x+9)-4(x+9)=0$

$(x+9)(x-4)=0$

$(x+9)=0 ; (x-4)=0$

$x=-9 ; x=4$

Since age cannot be negative, therefore, age of younger child is 4 years.

Age of older child would be $x+5\Rightarrow4+5=9$

Therefore, the age of older child would be 9 years.

We have been given that the square of the mother's age can be found by writing the squares of the children's ages one after the other as a four-digit number.

Square of 4: $4^2=16$

Square of 9: $9^2=81$ .

Square of mother's age: $1681$

To find mother's age, we need to take positive square root of 1681 as:

$\sqrt{1681}=41$

Therefore, the mother is 41 years old.

What is absolute value?

finlep [7]

Absolute value is when you have either a positive or negative value within a set of "parentheses" or what look just like vertical lines and whatever is within those line stays or becomes positive. The only exception to this is when there is a negative on the outside to act upon the positive values within.
