Add the gain and the last weight together
new weight = 6 3/4 + 1 1/2
or we can write it as
new weight = 6 + 3/4 + 1 + 1/2

Separate whole numbers and fraction
new weight = 6 + 3/4 + 1 + 1/2
new weight = 6 + 1 + 3/4 + 1/2

Simplify the whole numbers
new weight = 6 + 1 + 3/4 + 1/2
new weight = 7 + 3/4 + 1/2

Equalize the denominators of the fraction
new weight = 7 + 3/4 + 1/2
new weight = 7 + 3/4 + 2/4
new weight = 7 + 5/4

Because 5/4 is improper fraction, change it to mixed fraction
new weight = 7 + 5/4
new weight = 7 + 1 1/4
new weight = 7 + 1 + 1/4
new weight = 8 + 1/4
new weight = 8 1/4

The cat weights 8 1/4 pounds now

What is the value of s and the length of side BC if ABCD is a rhombus?
Natali5045456 [20]

Step 1

<u>Find the value of s</u>

we know that

In a Rhombus all sides are congruent

so

AB=BC=CD=DA

AB=9s+29\\CD=10s-16

equate AB and CD

9s+29=10s-16\\

Combine like term

10s-9s=29+16\\

s=45\ units

<u>The answer Part a) is</u>

the value of s is 45\ units

Step 2

<u>Find the value of side AB</u>

AB=9s+29

substitute the value of s

AB=9*45+29=434\ units

Remember that the sides are congruent

AB=BC=CD=DA

therefore

<u>the answer Part b) is</u>

The length of the side BC is 434\ units

The governor of state A earns 50, 440 more than the governor of state B. If the total of their salaries is $283,910, can you fin
WITCHER [35]
Use what we know to make equations in order to solve for each governor's salary.
A=governor of state A
B=governor of state B
A+b=283,910. (Their salaries combined)
A=B+50,440 (A earns 50,440 more than B)
Sub A into the original formula to solve for B
B+50,440+b=283,910
2B=283,910-50,440
2B=233,470
B=116,730
Sub B into the formula that's equal to A
A=B+50,440
A=116,735+50,440
A=167,175
I hope this helps!

A population analysist is using the formula Pn = 25.8(1.0219)h to predict the population for Ghana, a country in Africa. What do
Neko [114]

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the formula :

Pn = 25.8(1.0219)^h to predict the population of Ghana ;

The equation given is in the form of an exponential function:

The general form of an exponential distribution :

y = ab^x

a = Initial value ; b = constant multiplier or growth or Decay factor

Comparing :

The number in parenthesis = 1.0219 = b

b = Decay or growth factor :

Since b > 1 ; then We have a growth factor;

b = 1 + rate

1.0219 = 1 + rate

Rate = 1.0219 - 1

Rate = 0.0219

Hence, the population is growing at a rate of about (0.0219)*100% = 2.19%
