They will need 2 5/12 more pounds to reach their goal.

<h3>Sum and difference of fractions</h3>

Given the following information as shown:

Amount Blake collected = 6 1/3 pounds
Amount his brother collected = 5 3/4 pounds

If their goal is to collect 14 1/2 pounds of food by the end of the month, the remaining food they need to collect will be expressed as:

y =14 1/2 - (6 1/3 + 5 3/4)

y = 14 1/2 - (19/3 + 23/4)

y = 29/2 - (76+69/12)

y = 29/2 - (145/12)

y = 174-145/12

y = 29/12

y = 2 5/12

Hence they will need 2 5/12 more pounds to reach their goal.

gregori [183]

<span>Each ticket costs $10. He bought "x" tickets. Ticket cost = 10*x
Each bag of popcorn costs $5.
He bought "y" bags of popcorn.
Popcorn cost = 5*y Service fee: $3
Total cost = 10x + 5y + 3 <= $75 is the inequality.
10x + 5y <= 72
If x = 4,
then 40 + 5y <= 72
5y <= 32
y <= 6.4
So y = 6 bags of popcorn.</span>

The upper-left coordinates on a rectangle are (-6,0)(−6,0)left parenthesis, minus, 6, comma, 0, right parenthesis, and the upper

nikklg [1K]

Answer:

See attachment for rectangle

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$A = (-6,0)$

$B = (-4,0)$

$Area = 12$

Required

Draw the rectangle

First, we calculate the distance between A and B using distance formula;

$AB = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}$

So, we have:

$AB = \sqrt{(-6 - -4)^2 + (0- 0)^2}$

$AB = \sqrt{(-2)^2 + (0)^2}$

$AB = \sqrt{4 + 0}$

$AB = \sqrt{4}$

$AB = 2$

The above represents the length of the triangle.

Next, calculate the width using:

$Length * Width = Area$

$2* Width = 12$

Divide both sides by 2

$Width = 6$

This implies that, the width of the rectangle is 6 units.

We have:

$A = (-6,0)$

$B = (-4,0)$

Since A and B are at the upper left and right, then the ther two points are below.

6 units below each of the above point are:

$C = (-6,0-6)\\$ => $C = (-6,-6)$

$D = (-4,0-6)$ => $D = (-4,-6)$

Hence, the points of the rectangle are:

$A = (-6,0)$

$B = (-4,0)$

$C = (-6,-6)$

$D = (-4,-6)$

How many unique triangles can be drawn with side lengths 8 in., 12 in., and 24 in.? Explain

Debora [2.8K]

By using the triangular inequality, we will see that no triangles can be made with these side lengths.

<h3>How many triangles can be made with these side lengths?</h3>

Remember that for any triangle with side lengths A, B, and C, the triangular inequality must be true.

This means that the sum of any two sides must be larger than the other side.

A + B > C

A + C > B

B + C > A.

For the given side lengths, we will have:

8 in + 12 in > 24 in

8in + 24 in > 12 in

12 in + 24 in > 8 in.

Now, notice that the first inequality is false. So the triangular inequality is not meet. Then we can't make a triangle with these side lengths.

So we can make 0 unique triangles with these side lengths.
