Answer:

We will use the concepts of fractions to solve this.

(a) 2/3 + 1/7

LCM of 3 and 7 = 21

(2 × 7 + 1 × 3) / 21 = (14 + 3) / 21

= 17/21

(b) 3/10 + 7/15

LCM of 10 and 15 = 30

= (3 × 3 + 7 × 2) / 30 = (14 + 9) / 30

= 23/30

LCM of 9 and 7 = 63

= (4 × 7 + 2 × 9) / 63 = (28 + 18) / 63

= 46/63

(d) 5/7 + 1/3

LCM of 7 and 3 = 21

= (5 × 3 + 1 × 7) / 21 = (15 + 7) / 21

= 22/21

(e) 2/5 + 1/6

LCM of 5 and 6 = 30

= (2 × 6 + 1 × 5) / 30 = (12 + 5) / 30

= 17/30

(f) 4/5 + 2/3

LCM of 5 and 3 = 15

= (4 × 3 + 5 × 2) / 15 = (12 + 10) / 15

= 22/15

(g) 3/4 - 1/3

LCM of 4 and 3 = 12

= (3 × 3 + 1 × 4) / 12 = (9-4) / 12

= 5/12

(h) 5/6 - 1/3

LCM of 6 and 3 = 6

= (1 × 5 - 1 × 2) / 6 = (5 - 2) / 6

= 3/6

= 1/2

(i) 2/3 + 3/4 + 1/2

LCM of 3,4 and 2 = 12

= (2 × 4 + 3 × 3 + 1 × 6) /12 = (8 + 9 + 6) / 12

= 23 / 12

(j) 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/6

LCM of 2,3 and 6 = 6

= (1 × 3 + 1 × 2 + 1 × 1) / = (3 + 2 + 1) / 6

= 6 / 6

= 1

(k) 113 + 323

= 1 + 1/3 + 3 + 2/3 = 4 + 1/3 + 2/3

= 4 + 1/3 + 2/3 = 4 + 3/3

= 4 + 1 = 5

(l) 423 + 314

= 4 + 2/3 + 3 + 1/4 = 7 + 2/3 + 1/4

= 7 + (2 × 4 + 1 × 3) / 12

= 7 + 11/12

= 95 / 12

(m) 16/5 - 7/5

= 16 × 1 - 7 × 1 = (16 - 7) / 5

= 9 / 5

(n) 4/3 - 1/2

= (4 × 2 - 1 × 3) / 6

= (8 - 3) / 6

= 5 / 6

Two teachers compared the mean absolute deviation of the scores from the semester exam they gave to their students. Mrs. Alvarez

Monica [59]

Answer:

C. Mrs. Alvarez's scores were less spread out than Mr. Crawford's scores.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean Absolute Deviation is one of the Statistical measures which we can you to determine the variation that exist amongst a given set of data

Mean Absolute Deviation can be defined as how far or the distance between one set of data to another set of data.

The smaller the Mean Standard Deviation, the lower the degree of variation in the set of data. The data is less spread out

The larger the Mean Standard Deviation, the higher the degree of variation in the set of data. The data is Largely spread out

We are told in the question that:

Mrs. Alvarez's scores had a lower mean absolute deviation than Mr. Crawford's scores. Our conclusion would be that Mrs. Alvarez's scores were less spread out than Mr. Crawford's scores.

Option 2 is correct.

Area of parallelogram is 150 square ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the parallelogram in the figure whose height is 10 ft and base length is 15 ft.

Area of parallelogram is $base \times height$

= $15\times 10ft^2$

= 150 square ft

now we have to decompose this parallelogram into rectangles and triangles and then to determine the shape.

The given parallelogram KLMN can be decomposed into 2 triangles and one rectangle.

2 right angled triangles KPL and NOM by construction

$KL^{2}=KP^{2}+PL^{2}=10^{2}+2^{2} =100+4=104$

⇒ $KL=\sqrt104=10.2 ft=MN$ (∵ KLMN is a parallelogram)

Hence, dimension of triangles are 10 ft, 2 ft and 10.2 ft

Now rectangle KPON with dimension 15 ft and 10 ft because KP and NO are perpendiculars on LM.

What is the absolute value of 2-9i

Deffense [45]

Answer:

so we get as,

let, y = 2 - 9i

so the absolute value is |y|

so we get as,

|y| = 2-9i

so the absolute value is |y|

|y|=√ 2 to the 2nd power plus 9 to the second power

so we get as,

|y|=

√81+4=√85

so the value is √85

Example:

| − 2 − i | = √ 5

Explanation:

Absolute value of a complex number a + i b is written as | a + i b | and its value as √a 2 + b 2 .

Hence, absolute value of − 2 − i is √ ( − 2 ) 2 + ( − 1 ) 2 = √ 4 + 1 = √ 5 .
