Answer:

1 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to figure out the lightest and the heaviest bad. The lightest bag is 4 1/4 and the heaviest is 5 3/4. Now to subtract, you can't subtract this as a mixed fraction so turn each fraction into an improper fraction by multiplying the whole number by the denominator then adding the numerator to the product of the whole number multiplied by the denominator (if you didn't know numerator is the top and the denominator is the bottom. To find out 4 1/4 as an improper fraction follow these steps (4*4+1=17) so 4 1/4=17/4. The process is the same for 5 3/4 (5*4+3=23) so 5 3/4= 23/4. Now to subtract, you subtract the numerator but not the denominator. You subtract because the question asks how many more and that means to subtract 23/4-17/4= 6/4. Last step is to turn this back into a mixed fraction do that by dividing the numerator by the denominator, 6 divided by 4 equals 1.5 and turn the decimal into a fraction 1 is a whole number so you don't change that but the 5 behind the decimal needs to be changed so now 1.5= 1 5/10 and last step is simplify 1 1/2. Hope this helped :).

Pedro, unfortunately your question is incomplete. Check it and see for yourself.

To graph x≥2, plot a dark dot at x=2 and then draw an arrow from that dot to the right. No shading required (other than that you need a dark dot).

Alexis, Becca, and Cindy do volunteer work at Adopt-a-Pet Animal Shelter. They worked a total of 285 hours at the shelter last s

swat32

Alexis worked for 59 hours, Becca worked for 74 hours and Cindy worked for 152 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total hours worked by three of them = 285 hours

Let,

x represent the hours of Alexis.

y represent the hours of Becca.

z represent the hours of Cindy.

According to given statement;

x+y+z=285 Eqn 1

Alexis worked 15 hours less than Becca.

x = y-15 Eqn 2

z = 2y+4 Eqn 3

Putting value of x and z from Eqn 2 and 3 in Eqn 1

$(y-15)+y+(2y+4)=285\\y-15+y+2y+4=285\\4y-11=285\\4y=285+11\\4y=296$

Dividing both sides by 4

$\frac{4y}{4}=\frac{296}{4}\\y=74$

Putting y=74 in Eqn 2

$x=74-15\\x=59$

Putting y=74 in Eqn 3

$z=2(74)+4\\z=148+4\\z=152$

Alexis worked for 59 hours, Becca worked for 74 hours and Cindy worked for 152 hours.

The price of a stock decreased by 60 cents one week, decreased 10 cents the next week, and decreased another 20 cents the follow

mel-nik [20]

Hi there! Hopefully this helps!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It decreased by 30 cents per week.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The average rate of change is calculated as:

the ratio of the sum of the change in the three weeks divided by the number of weeks. (The number of weeks being 3)

Rate of change = $\frac{-60 -10 -20}{3}$ .

(-60 + -10 + -20 = -90). So, to simplify it:

$\frac{-90}{3}$ = -30

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Incase you are confused:

Since the average rate of change is negative, this means that the stock price has decreased.

Answer:

a) (see attached picture)

b) d, h, velocity of helicopter, dd/dt

in the direction oposite to the movement of the helicopter.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this problem we must start by drawing a diagram that will represent the situation (see attached picture). As you may see, there is a right triangle being formed by the helicopter, the car and the graound. We can use this to build the equation we are going to use to model the problem.

$d^{2}=h^{2}+x^{2}$
