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

Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

To understand this, bags of gas added make it go up, while bags of sand added make it go down:

1). Add bags of gas | balloon goes UP | 3 bags of gas ( +3 ), 10 bags of sand ( +10 )

2). Add bags of sand | balloon goes DOWN | 3 bags of sand ( -3 ), 10 bags of sand ( -10 )

3). Subtract bags of gas | balloon goes DOWN | subtract 3 bags of gas  - ( +3 ), subtract 10 bags of gas  - ( +10 )

4). Subtract bags of sand | balloon goes  UP  | subtract 3 bags of sand  - ( -3 ), subtract 10 bags of sand  - ( 10 )

Can you please help with adjacent angles?

mojhsa [17]

Adjacent angles are angles that have a common side and a common vertex. The only one that fits this would be <FEC and <FEH because it shares the side of FE and common vertex of E. I hope this helps you. :)

At the city museum, child admission is $5.20 and adult admission is $8.90 . on friday, 159 tickets were sold for a total sales o

Zinaida [17]

Total tickets sold = 159
Total sales = $1100.60
Child admission = $5.20
Adult admission = $8.90

Assumed all 159 tickets are Child admission tickets
Total sales = 159 x 5.2 = $826.80

Difference in amount = $1100.60 - $826.80 = $273.80
The difference must be contributed by the Adult Admission Tickets, which has a difference of $8.90 - $5.20 = $3.70

$273.80 ÷ $3.70 = 74 adult tickets

159 - 74 = 85 child tickets
