What is 4 1/2 - 2 2/5 in simplest form

Mathematics
1 answer:
Serggg [28]3 years ago
4 0

Answer: 2 and 1/10

Step-by-step explanation: To subtract mixed numbers, we first subtract the fractions.

Notice that 1/2 and 2/5 are unlike fractions so we need a common denominator which in this case is 10. <em>If you need a review on how to find the common denominator for these fractions, let me know in the comments below and I will be more than happy to explain</em>.

To get a 10 in the denominator of 1/2, we multiply the numerator and the denominator by 5 to get 5/10. To get a 10 in the denominator of 2/5, we multiply the numerator and denominator by 2 to get 4/10.

So we have 4 and 5/10 - 2 and 4/10.

Subtracting the fractions, 5/10 - 4/10 is 1/10 and subtracting the whole numbers, 4 - 2 is 2. So 4 and 1/2 - 2 and 2/5 is 2 and 1/10.

The side of a square is 32/5, what is the area of the square
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer: 1,024/25 or 40.96

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of one side of a square is 32/5, and all sides of a square have the same length, then all sides of the square have 32/5 as the length.

In order to get the area of the square, you need to multiply one side by another.

32/5 * 32/5 = 1,024/5 (fraction form)

32/5 = 6.4

6.4 * 6.4 = 40.96 (decimal form)

A bucket that weighs 4 lb and a rope of negligible weight are used to draw water from a well that is 60 ft deep. The bucket is f
jonny [76]

Answer:

2580 ft-lb

Step-by-step explanation:

Water leaks out of the bucket at a rate of \frac{0.15 \mathrm{lb} / \mathrm{s}}{1.5 \mathrm{ft} / \mathrm{s}}=0.1 \mathrm{lb} / \mathrm{ft}

Work done required to pull the bucket to the top of the well is given by integral

W=\int_{a}^{b} F(x) dx

Here, function F(x) is the total weight of the bucket and water x feet above the bottom of the well. That is,

F(x)=4+(42-0.1 x)

=46-0.1x

a is the initial height and b is the maximum height of well. That is,

a=0 \text { and } b=60

Find the work done as,

W=\int_{a}^{b} F(x) d x

=\int_{0}^{60}(46-0.1 x) dx

&\left.=46x-0.05 x^{2}\right]_{0}^{60}

=(2760-180)-0[

=2580 \mathrm{ft}-\mathrm{lb}&#10;

Hence, the work done required to pull the bucket to the top of the well is 2580 \mathrm{ft}- \mathrm{lb}
