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?

1 answer:

4 0

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

In your notebook, set up the following subtraction in a vertical format and select the correct answer. Find 2p 2 3p - 4 less - 2

Elena L [17]

The equation in the reduced form of the equation is $\rm 4p^ 2 + 6p - 8$ .

Given that,

Equation; $\rm 2p^ 2 + 3p - 4\ by\ -2p ^2 - 3p +4$

We have to reduce the equation.

According to the question,

To reduce the equation means we need to subtract one equation from the other.

To determine the reduced form of the equation following all the steps given below.

Equation; $\rm 2p^ 2 + 3p - 4\ by\ -2p ^2 - 3p +4$

Subtraction equation 1 from equation 2,

$\rm = \rm 2p^ 2 + 3p - 4\ -(-2p ^2 - 3p + 4)\\\\= 2p^ 2 + 3p - 4\ -(-2p ^2 -3p +4)\\\\ = 2p^ 2 + 3p - 4+2p^ 2 + 3p - 4 \\\\ = 4p^ 2 + 6p - 8$

Hence, The equation in the reduced form of the equation is $\rm 4p^ 2 + 6p - 8$ .

What is the distance between these points C(-4,1) and D(1,1)

Maslowich

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the distance formula

d= $\sqrt{(1+4)^{2}+(1-1)^{2} }$

$d=\sqrt{5^{2}+0^{2} }$

$d=\sqrt{25+0} \\d=\sqrt{25} \\d=5$

Given P(E)= 0.24 and P(FnE)= 0.17, find P(F| E). Round the answer to the nearest hundredth. A. 029 B. 0.40 C. 0.71 D. 1.41

romanna [79]

Given P(E) = 0.24 and P(F ∩ E) = 0.17

It says to find conditional probability of F given E has occurred.

We know the formula of conditional probability is given by :-

P(F ║ E) = $\frac{P(E\;and\; F)}{P(E)}$

P(F ║ E) = $\frac{0.17}{0.24}$ = 0.708333

P(F ║ E) = 0.71

Hence, option C i.e. 0.71 is the final answer.

A climber is standing at the top of Mount Kilimanjaro, approximately 3.7 mi above sea level. The radius of the Earth is 3959 mi.

RoseWind [281]

We are given
height = 3.7 mi
radius = 3959 mi

We are asked for the distance between the man and the horizon
The straight line from the man to the horizon is a tangent line to the surface of the earth
Using Pythagorean theorem
(3.7 + 3959)² = 3959² + d²

Solve for d
d = 171 mi
