Answer:
m = 6 7/8 or 55/8.
Step-by-step explanation:
6= m - 7/8
6 + 7/8 = m - 7/8 + 7/8
m = 6 7/8 or 55/8.
1250 lbs of sand.
So first let's find the volume of the sand in the sandbox. You have a square sandbox, with a side length of 5, meaning you have a length and width of 5. You also have half a foot of sand in the sandbox, meaning that you have a height of 0.5. To find the volume of the sand, multiply the length by the width by the height:

So you have 12.5 cubic feet of sand. If each cubic foot of sand is 100 lbs, then you just multiply the two:
Answer:
that is the solution to the question
We have the following expression:
(x- (5/2)) ^ 2 = (13/4)
Let's rewrite the given expression:
x ^ 2 - 5x + 25/4 = (13/4)
x ^ 2 - 5x + 25/4 - 13/4 = 0
x ^ 2 - 5x + 12/4 = 0
x ^ 2 - 5x + 3 = 0
Answer:
the original equation given to Sam could have been:
x ^ 2 - 5x + 3 = 0
