Gianna is making two different salads. One calls for 3 3/4 cups chopped spinach. The other calls for 2 2/3 cups chopped spinach.

ch4aika [34]

<h2> The answer is very simple add the whole numbers then find the LCM of 3 and 4 which is 12 then multiply 3/4 by 3 which will be 9/12 then multiply 2/3 by 4 which will be 9/12 then we add 9/12 + 8/12 which will equal to 5 17/12 which we can reduce and answer will be 6 5/12 spinach.</h2>

Question 1

Given: 9·(x + 6) - 41 = 75

$Prove \ x = \dfrac{62}{9}$

Statement ${}$ Reason

S1. 9·(x + 6) - 41 = 75 ${}$ R1. Given

S2. 9·(x + 6) = 116 ${}$ R2. Addition property

S3. 9·x + 54 = 116 ${}$ R3. Distributive property

S4. 9·x = 62 ${}$ R4. Subtraction property

S5. $x = \dfrac{62}{9}$ ${}$ R5. Division property of equality

Question 2.

Statement ${}$ Reason

S1. m∠A + m∠B = m∠D ${}$ R1. Given

S2. ∠C and ∠D form a Linear Pair ${}$ R2. Definition of linear pair

S3. ∠C and ∠D are supplementary ${}$ R3. Linear pair ∠s are supplementary

S4. ∠C + ∠D = 180° ${}$ R4. Definition of supplementary

S5. m∠C + m∠A + m∠B = 180° ${}$ R5. Substitution property

Question 3.

Statement ${}$ Reason

S1. ∠BDA ≅ ∠A ${}$ R1. Given

Is 50.2 a rational or an irrational number, why?

Greeley [361]

Answer:

Rational.

Step-by-step explanation:

$\textbf{A rational number is a real number that can be expressed as}~ \dfrac{p}{q},\\\\\textbf{where}~ p~ \textbf{and}~ q~ \textbf{are integers.}\\\\ \boxed{50.2 = \dfrac{502}{10}}\\\\ \textbf{50.2 can be expressed as a ratio of two integers,}~ \textbf{so it is a rational number.}$
