Priya's cat weights 5 1/2 pounds and her dog weighs 8 1/4 pounds. The dog is ______ pounds heavier than the cat.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]2\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to subtract the weight of the cat from the weight of the dog.

[tex]8\frac{1}{4} -5\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

The first issue here is that there is not a common denominator. I'm going to multiply that 1/2 by 2 to make it 2/4. The 5 does NOT change.

[tex]8\frac{1}{4} -5\frac{2}{4}[/tex]

Subtract the whole numbers first.

[tex]8\frac{1}{4} -5\frac{2}{4} = 3\frac{1}{4} -\frac{2}{4}[/tex]

Then, we'll convert the first term to an improper fraction. We can do that by multiplying the whole number by the denominator and adding that number to the numerator.

[tex]3\frac{1}{4} -\frac{2}{4} ==> \frac{13}{4} - \frac{2}{4}[/tex]

Solve.

[tex]\frac{13}{4} -\frac{2}{4} = \frac{11}{4}[/tex]

Then, convert to a mixed number by dividing 11 by 4 and leaving the remainder in the numerator and putting the quotient in front as the whole number.

[tex]\frac{11}{4} ==> 2\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

So, the answer is [tex]2\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

Answer 2

2 3/4

Steps

8 1/4 - 5 1/2

a. Find Common Denominator

8 1/4 - 5 2/4

b. Make Improper Fractions

8 × 4 + 1 = 33

33/4

5 × 4 + 2

22/4

c. Subtract

33/4 - 22/4 = 11/4

d. Simplify

11/4 = 2 3/4

e. Answer

Therefore, Priya's dog is 2 3/4 pounds heavier than the cat.

Answers

Answer:

8736

Step-by-step explanation:

The LCM of 156 and 224

First find the highest common factor between the two number

156 = 4 * 39

224 = 4 * 56

Since 4 is the highest common factor between both numbers, the LCM of 156 and 224 will be the product of the highest common factor and the other multiples that are left when the numbers are divided by the highest common factor.

As such, the LCM of 156 and 224

= 4 * 39 * 56

= 8736

the diagram shows a circle centre o. work out the value of a​

Answers

Answer:

a = 49°

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure attached,

In ΔBOC,

OB = OC = Radii of the circle O

Therefore, m∠OBC = m∠OCB = 41° [Opposite angles of the equal sides of a triangle]

By triangle sum theorem,

m∠OBC + m∠OCB + m∠BOC = 180°

41° + 41° + m∠BOC = 180°

m∠BOC = 180° - 82°

              = 98°

Since, "angle subtended by an arc at the center is twice the angle subtended at the circumference",

m∠BOC = 2(m∠BAC)

98° = 2(a)

a = 49°

Step-by-step explanation:

its C. cause if f -g is equal to positive 4

Option B(f - g)(x) = [tex]$2x^{3} +5x^{2}[/tex] - 8x - 4  is correct.

We have the following functions -

f(x) = [tex]2x^{3} +5x^{2} -6x-7[/tex]

g(x) = 2x - 3

We have to determine (f - g)(x).

Define function in Mathematics.

In mathematics, a function from a set X to a set Y assigns to each element of X exactly one element of Y. The set X is called the domain of the function and the set Y is called the codomain of the function.

According to the question, we have -

f(x) = [tex]2x^{3} +5x^{2} -6x-7[/tex]

g(x) = 2x - 3

Now -

(f - g)(x) = {[tex]$2x^{3} +5x^{2} -6x-7[/tex] - (2x - 3)}

(f - g)(x) = {[tex]$2x^{3} +5x^{2}[/tex] - 6x - 7 - 2x + 3}

(f - g)(x) = [tex]$2x^{3} +5x^{2}[/tex] - 8x - 4

Hence, Option B(f - g)(x) = [tex]$2x^{3} +5x^{2}[/tex] - 8x - 4  is correct.

the manager of a symphony computes that the symphony will earn -40p^2+1100p dollars per concert if they charge P dollars for tickets. what ticket price should the symphony charge in order to maximize its profits?

Answers

Answer:

$7,562.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function of the profit earned expressed as;

f(p) =-40p^2+1100p

To maximize the profit, df(p)/dp must be sero

df(p)/dp = -80p + 1100 = 0

-80p + 1100 = 0

-80p = - 1100

p = 1100/80

p = 13.75

Substitute p = 13.75 into the function

f(13.75) =-40(13.75)^2+1100(13.75)

f(13.75) = -7,562.5+15,125

f(13.75) = 7,562.5

Hence the symphony should charge $7,562.5 to maximize the profit.

Point M is between points L and N on LN. LN
6x, LM 4x + 8, and
MN 27. Use the information to solve for x, and then find LN.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

     4x+8                  27

L-------------M-------------------------N

<------------------ 6x -------------------->

LM = 4x+8

MN = 27

LN = 6x

LM + MN = LN

4x+8 + 27 = 6x

35 = 2x

17.5 = x

LN = 6x = 6(17.5) = 105

The correct answer to the question is: x = 17.5, LN = 105

From the question given above, we obtained the following:

LN = 6x

LM = 4x + 8

MN = 27

x =? LN =?

The value of x can be obtained as follow:

LN =  LM + MN

6x = 4x + 8 + 27

6x = 4x + 35

Collect like terms

6x – 4x = 35

2x = 35

Divide both side by 2

x = 35 / 2

x = 17.5

Finally, we shall determine the value of LN.

x = 17.5

LN =?

LN = 6x

LN = 6(17.5)

LN = 105

SUMMARY:x = 17.5LN = 105

Therefore, the correct answer to the question is: x = 17.5, LN = 105
