Roberto’s cat weighed 6 3/4 pounds last year.Then the cat gained 1 1/2 pounds.How much does the cat weigh now?

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

A lake has a small patch of lily pads and every day the patch grows to double its size. It takes 32 days for the patch to cover

S_A_V [24]

Answer:

<em>It took 31 days for the patch to cover half the lake</em>

<em></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The patch grows to double its size everyday

the patch completely covers the lake in 32 days

Since the patch doubles itself everyday, this means that the previous day before the 32nd day, the lake was just half covered.

Therefore, the the patch covered half the lake on the 31st day, i.e <em>it took 31 days for the patch to cover half the lake</em>

What is the area of a circle if the circumference is 29

Kruka [31]

Answer:

67 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

Circumference/pi = diameter

29/3.14 = 9.24

Radius = 9.24/2 = 4.62

A = pi * r^2

A = 3.14 * 4.62^2 = 67 square units

Can someone solve this question to me.i will mark brainliest. :)

Alex787 [66]

Answer:

Parent Function: $y=\sqrt{x}$
Horizontal shift: right 3 units
Vertical shift: up 3 units
Reflection about the x-axis: none
Vertical strech: streched

Step-by-step explanation:

assume that $y=\sqrt{x}$ is $f(x)=\sqrt{x}$ and $y=\sqrt{-2x+6}+3$ is

$g(x)=\sqrt{-2x+6}+3\\ f(x)=\sqrt{x} \\g(x)=\sqrt{-2x+6}+3$

The transformation from the first equation to the second equation can be found by finding a,h and k for each equation.

$y=a\sqrt{x-h}+k$

factor a 1 out of the absolute value to make the coefficient of x equal to 1

$y=\sqrt{x}$

factor a 2 out of the absolute value to make the coefficient of x equal to 1

$y=\sqrt{2}\sqrt{x-3}+3$

find a, h and k for $y=\sqrt{2}\sqrt{x-3}+3$

$a=1.41421356\\ h=3\\k=3$

the horizontal shift depends on the value of h when $h > 0$ , the horizontal shift is described as:

$g(x)=f(x+h)$ - the graph is shifted to the left h units

$g(x)=f(x-h)\\$ - the graph is shifted to the right h units

the vertical shift depends on the value of k
