Thomas thinks that 3 7/8 + 2 11/12 is pretty close to 5, but Lorinda thinks it is closer to 6. Todd disagrees with both of them

and thinks it's closer to 7. What do you think? why? DO NOT evaluate this, just estimate to find who is correct.

Answer:

Todd is right

Step-by-step explanation:

if 3+2 is 5, and adding the two fractions would add to about 2, then since 5+2 is 7, Todd is right.

Three lines of crops in a garden form a triangular shape. Strawberries are planted in a 10 ft line and green beans are planted i

Answer:

$p = 19.18$

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is illustrated using the attachment and will be solved using cosine formula

$a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2bcCosA$

<em>Let the strawberry side be s, the Green beans be b and the pumpkins be p.</em>

<em />

The cosine formula in this case is:

$g^2 = s^2 + p^2 - 2spCosG$

Where

$s = 10$

$g = 18$

The equation becomes

$18^2 = 10^2 + p^2 - 2 * 10 * p * Cos\ 68$

$324 = 100 + p^2 - 20 * p * 0.375$

$324 = 100 + p^2 - 7.5p$

Collect Like Terms

$p^2 - 7.5p + 100 - 324 = 0$

$p^2 - 7.5p - 224 = 0$

Using quadratic formula:

$p = \frac{-b\±\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

Where

$a = 1$

$b = -7.5$

$c = -224$

$p = \frac{-(-7.5)\±\sqrt{(-7.5)^2-4*1*-224}}{2*1}$

$p = \frac{7.5\±\sqrt{56.25+896}}{2}$

$p = \frac{7.5\±\sqrt{952.25}}{2}$

$p = \frac{7.5\± 30.86}{2}$

$p = \frac{7.5 + 30.86}{2}$ or $p = \frac{7.5 - 30.86}{2}$

$p = \frac{38.36}{2}$ or $p = \frac{-23.36}{2}$

$p = 19.18$ or $p = -11.68$

But length can not be negative.

So:

$p = 19.18$

Answer: 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay so it asks in all, which means morning distance + afternoon distance

We got the afternoon distance so now we have to find the morning one

it says the afternoon distance (6), is 25% less than the morning distance.

Which means the afternoon distance is 0.75 of the morning distance.

so 0.75x = 6, x = 6/0.75 = 8

Then you add 8 to 6 to get 14

How far away from home was she ?

Vlad [161]

Approx. 5 miles I would say give or take the 1/2 mile shortcut by taking a straight path back to the house. I don't know if you need an exact distance but I hope this helps.
