Answer:

Aubrey ran 3 1/3 miles further than what she walked.

Step-by-step explanation:

This would be your basic subtraction problem. So, 13 1/6 - 9 5/6.

Since you can't subtract 5/6 from 1/6, let's borrow from 13. Now, instead of 13, it would be 12. Adding the whole (1) or 6/6 to the 1/6, you'll get 7/6. Now you can subtract. 7/6 - 5/6 = 2/6. Moving on, 12 - 9 = 3.

Therefore, your answer is 3 2/6. In simplified terms, it would be 3 1/3.

Answer:

VP = 117 mm

Step-by-step explanation:

Corresponding sides of similar quadrilaterals are proportional.

VP/FD = BP/KD

VP = FD·BP/KD = (45 mm)·(78/30) . . . . multiply by FD; fill in the givens

VP = 117 mm

63 Jelly Beans

Step-by-step explanation:

The unknown is the number of jelly beans originally in the bag or x

First he had x jelly beans

The he ate one-third of them

$\frac{1}{3}x$

He then ate 16 more jelly beans

$\frac{1}{3}x+16$

This was equal to 37 jelly beans

$\frac{1}{3}x+16=37$

This is the equation

Now solve for x

Subtract 16 from both sides

$\frac{1}{3}x=21$

Multiply both sides by 3

$x=63$

Find the value of the lesser root of x2 + 12x + 35 = 0.

matrenka [14]

In quadratic equations,
a + b = -B
ab = C
where a and b are the roots, B is the second term, and C is the constant.
Substituting,
a + b = -12
ab = 35
The values of a and b from the equation is -7 and -5. Thus, the lesser root is -7.
