Step-by-step explanation:

20 1/2 = (20×2 + 1)/2 = 41/2.

to create 1/6 of that we have to multiply it by 1/6 :

41/2 × 1/6 = 41/12 = 3 5/12

the rock weighed 3 5/12 lb.

What is the intersection of yhe sets A={2,3,5,7,11}and B={5,11,13,15,17}?

xxTIMURxx [149]

The intersection of two sets A and B is defined as the set composed by the elements appearing in both A and B.

So, the intersection is

$A\cap B = \{5,11\}$

Because all the other numbers do not belong to both sets:

2, 3 and 7 belong to A alone
13, 15 and 17 belong to B alone
5 and 11 belong to both A and B
