Answer:

2.625 pounds are left or 2 5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

So if your going to be subtracting a fraction from a whole number your going to have to consider the fact that the whole number can be divided up into that fraction.

So in this equation we are subtracting 2 3/8 from 5, we are going to take one from 5 and make it into a fraction so we can subtract:

5 = 4 8/8

Now we subtract 2 3/8 from 4 8/8

4 8/8 - 2 3/8 = 2 5/8

so there's your answer 2 5/8 pounds are left over, but if you wanted the answer in a decimal you would divide 5 by 8:

5/8 = 0.625

you then add 0.625 to 2:

2 + 0.625 = 2.625

And that is also your answer: 2.625 lbs. were left over.

What is the greatest common factor of the terms in the polynomial
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

4x^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The greatest common factor is the greatest number that can divide the terms. The greatest number that can divide each term is 4, and the greatest power of x that can divide each term is x^2. This is because it can't be any number greater than 4 since that number would never be able to divide into 4. This is also the reason why x^2 is the greatest power possible. It cannot be greater than anything divisible by itself. Thus, you multiply 4 by x^2 and the answer is 4x^2.

Solve pls thank you​
Dominik [7]

Answer:

B.

Step-by-step explanation:

So there are 16 grams initally. Then, the amount of water decreases by 3.5%.

So first we must find 3.5% of 16. 3.5% in decimal form is 0.035, since you divide 3.5 by 100. Then, when you multiply 0.035 by 16, you get 0.56. Since the solution decreased by that percentage, you must subtract 0.56 from 16, which is 15.44.

Then the amount of water decreases by 4.25%. That in decimal form is 0.0425. You multiply it by 15.44, and it comes out to 0.6562. You subtract that from 15.44, not 16, since some of the water has evaporated. So you get 14.7838.
