Answer:

She sold 5.775 kilograms of pears at the farmer's market.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first determine the information that the question gives us, and what we need to find.

Given:

The farmer sold 7.7 kilograms of apples and pears

1/4 of the weight is apples

The rest of the weight is pears

Find:

Kilograms of pears that the farmer sold

Start by finding the fraction of the whole weight that was pears...

$1-\frac{1}{4}=\frac{4}{4}-\frac{1}{4}=\frac{3}{4}$

Now, find 3/4 of 7.7...

$\frac{3}{4}(7.7)=\frac{23.1}{4}=5.775\ kg$

She sold 5.775 kilograms of pears at the farmer's market.

Square root of 0.25 in fraction form

Nady [450]

First off, let's convert 0.25 to a fraction, notice, it has two decimals, therefore, we'll use two zeros on the denominator, two decimals, two zeros, thus,

$\bf 0.\underline{25}\implies \cfrac{025}{1\underline{00}}\implies \cfrac{25}{100}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\sqrt{0.25}\implies \sqrt{\cfrac{25}{100}}\implies \sqrt{\cfrac{5^2}{10^2}}\implies \cfrac{5}{10}\implies \cfrac{1}{2}$

Heidi has an average score of 78 for her first six chemistry tests. If Heidi"s scores for the first four tests were 82,78,87, an

elixir [45]

Answer:

(A)74

Explanation:

Let her average score on the last two tests = x.

The six scores will now be: 82,78,87,73, x and x.

Since the average score for her first six chemistry tests = 78

$\frac{82+78+87+73+x+x}{6}=78$

We then solve for x.

$\begin{gathered} 320+2x=78\times6 \\ 320+2x=468 \\ 2x=468-320 \\ 2x=148 \\ x=\frac{148}{2} \\ x=74 \end{gathered}$

Her average score for the last two tests is 74.
