Answer:

  2 13/14 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The remaining length is the difference between the starting length and the amount cut off:

  5 3/7 - 2 1/2 = (5 -2) +(3/7 -1/2) = 3 +((3·2-7·1)/(7·2)) = 3 -1/14

  = 2 13/14 . . . feet remaining

<em>Additional comment</em>

Addition and subtraction of fractions can be accomplished using a formula that does not rely on finding a least common denominator. In this case, the denominators have no common factors, so their product is, in fact, the least common denominator.

  \dfrac{a}{b}-\dfrac{c}{d}=\dfrac{ad-bc}{bd}

A family is driving 600 miles. Assuming they stop to get gas 3 times and eat 2 times, how many hours will it take them to reach
Umnica [9.8K]
Lets assume that they are driving at an average of 70mph, and getting gas takes 10 minutes, and stopping to eat takes 30.

t=d/s

t=600/70
t=8.57 

Stopping to eat twice is 30 x 2 = 60 (another hour)

and Gas is 10 x 3 = 30 minutes (0.5 hours)

Total time is,

8.57+1+0.5 =10.07

So the trip will take approx 10.7 hours total.

(This is using my assumptions, from my experience!)

Select the expressions that are equivalent to 12n - 8. Select all that apply.
morpeh [17]

A.3n+4+3n+4+4n

=3n+3n+4n+4+4

=10n+8

B.11n+4+n-12

=11n+n+4-12

=12n-8

C.6(6n-2)

=36n-12

D.4(3n-2)

=12n-8

E.4n+22-12+8n

=4n+8n+22-12

=12n+10

so,B and D are the expressions that are equivalent to 12n-8.

This is 70 points I will report anyone who answers wrong just for points! I will be asking TWO questions Please answer correctly
Ratling [72]




QUESTION 1: In these type of question, the easiest way to get the answer is try to plug in the x and y values from the options given in the equation given, So in the first question all the choice except C are more then 14 if you plug in x and y's, for eg, if you plug in x = 3 and y = 2 , you get (3+3)2 = 14 6 x 2 = 14 12 is not equal to 14, so this eliminates this choice but if you chose C you get, (11+3)1 = 14 14 = 14 so this makes C the solution for first question and for the second question do the same thing, and the answer will be D. Hope this helps




QUESTION 2: 5xy + 9 = 44

5xy = 35

xy = 7

solution pairs are:

C. (1, 7) and (7, 1)

not mentioned: (-1.-7) and (-7, -1)






Hope this helps

pentagon [3]

there is an error because -9 x 1 = -9 not -1. But I would assume that you multiply -9×-1 and then -9×-2 ect.
