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 :).

In complete sentences, explain whether or not it makes sense to say that the density of helium is 0.1785 kilograms per square me

lubasha [3.4K]

No it does NOT make sense to state density in kilograms per square meter. Density has to be stated in terms of mass per unit of volume and NOT per unit of area.

Find the area of the kite

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Step-by-step answer:

Area of a kite is half of the product of the diagonals.

The length of diagonal in the x-direction is 4+5 = 9

The length of diagonal in the y-direction is 4+4 = 8

Therefore

Area of kite = 8*9/2 = 36 units.

What is the value of b in the equation (y Superscript b Baseline) Superscript 4 Baseline = StartFraction 1 Over y Superscript 24

shusha [124]

The value of b is -6.

Explanation:

The expression is $\left(y^{b}\right)^{4}=\frac{1}{y^{24}}$

To determine the value of b, we shall solve the expression.

Applying exponent rule, $\left(a^{b}\right)^{c}=a^{b c}$ , we get,

$y^{4b}=\frac{1}{y^{24}}$

Applying exponent rule, $\frac{1}{a^{b}}=a^{-b}$ , we have,

$y^{4b}=y^{-24}$

The expression is of the form, $a^{f(x)}=a^{g(x)}$ then $f(x)=g(x)$

Applying this rule, we get,

$4b=-24$

Dividing both sides by 4, we have,

$b=-6$

Hence, the value of b is -6.

Determine a series of transformations that would map polygon ABCDE onto polygon A'B'C'D'E'?

vovangra [49]

Answer:

A reflection followed by a translation

Step-by-step explanation:

A reflection across they x-axis would put all the points in the right section and on the right y value. The x value would need to be changed though. So, you would need to do a translation of 4 on all points.
