The entire shipment contains 9 2/7 tons of sugar

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: Find the total amount of sugar in the entire shipment.

Number of containers in the shipment = 4 1/3 = 13/3

Number of tons of sugar = 2 1/7 = 15/7

⇒ Total amount of sugar = 13/3 × 15/7 = 65/7 = 9 2/7 tons

To find the answer we need multiply the number of containers by number tons of sugar each container has.

(4 1/3 )*(2 1/7).

To calculate , we need to convert mixed numbers into improper fractions.

4 1/3 = (4*3 +1)/3 = 13/3

2 1/7 = (2*7+1)/7 =15/7

(4 1/3 )*(2 1/7) = (13/3) * (15/7) = (13*5)/7 = 65/7 = 9 2/7 (tons)

Answer: 9 2/7 tons.

Hope this helps!

If ∠WOZ and ∠WOX are supplementary angles and ∠WOX and ∠XOY are complementary angles, then what is the value of x and m∠XOY?
omeli [17]

Answer:

D.x = 6; m∠XOY = 18°

Step-by-step explanation:

Supplementary angles add to 180 and complementary angles add to 90

∠WOZ + ∠WOX = 180

108 + ∠WOX = 180

∠WOX + ∠XOY = 90

∠WOX + 3x = 90

∠WOX  = 90 -3x

Replace WOX in the first equation

108 + ∠WOX = 180

108 + 90 -3x = 180

Combine like terms

198 -3x = 180

Subtract 198 from each side

-3x = 180-198

-3x = -18

Divide by -3

-3x/-3 = -18/-3

x = 6

∠XOY  = 3x = 3*6 = 18

Help me out asap!please and thank you

Answer:

c. (5, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

as we can clearly see, the 4th vertex has to be on the positive side of x.

therefore, all answer options with negative x are out.

(2, -5) is almost at D (-1, 5). that cannot be right for a rectangle.

that leaves only c as right answer.

FYI - how to get this without predefined answer portions ?

the x- difference of B to A is 4 (from -5 to -1). the x-difference from D to C must be the same (4). 1 + 4 = 5.

so, x of D must be 5.

the y- difference of B to A is 3 (from 3 to 6). the y-difference from D to C must be the same (3). -5 + 3 = -2.

so, y of D must be -2.

A bag contains 10 tiles with the letters A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, and J. Five tiles are chosen, one at a time, and placed in a
lora16 [44]
I assume in this item, we are to find at which step is the mistake done for the calculation of the unknown probability. 

For the possible number of arrangement of letter, n(S), the basic principles of counting should be used.
                       = 10 x 9 x 8 x 7 x 6 = 30,240

This is similar as to what was done in Meghan's work.

For the five tiles to spell out FACED, there is only one (1) possibility.

Therefore, the probability should be equal to 1/30,240 instead of the 1/252 which was presented in the steps above.
