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 :).

9 out of 10 people at a game are rooting for the home team. What is the probability that exactly 6 of 8 people sitting together

scZoUnD [109]

A random supporter roots the home team with probability 0.9, and the away team with probability 0.1.

Choosing 6 out of 8 supporters who root for the home team has probability

$\displaystyle\binom{8}{6}\cdot 0.9^6\cdot 0.1^2 = 28\cdot0.531441\cdot 0.01=0.14$

Kali left school and traveled toward her friend’s house at an average speed of 40

ioda

Matt needs to travel 3 hours.
If 40km=1 hour
400km=? But there are two distances
200/40*1=5 hours
Therefore Kali needs to travel 5 hours to be 200 km away from the house.
If 50km=1 hour
200km=?
200/50*1hr=4hrs Therefore Matt needs to travel 4hrs to be 200 km away from the house. But Kali traveled 1hr earlier than Matt. 4hrs-1hr=3hrs
Therefore Matt has to travel for 3 hours to be 400km away from Kali.

STALIN [3.7K]

If a pack of paper costs 3.75 including tax, and there is a $20 budget, then the equation to find out the answer would be 3.75p is greater or equal to $20. So the answer would be B. 3.75 would be multiplied by the tax and then applied up to $20.

You put $1200 in an account that earns 3% simple interest. Y= a (1 + r)t Find the total amount in the account after four years.

Hello!

To find how much money total will be in the account after four years, you need to use the function, $y = a(1 + r)^{t}$ , as seen above. In this function, a is the starting value, r is the interest rate, and t is the amount of time (in years).

Before substituting values into the function, we need to convert 3% into a decimal. Remember that all percentages are out of 100, so we divide 3 by 100 and remove the percentage sign, or move the decimal two places to the left.

3/100 = 0.03 | 0.03 is the interest rate.

With all the necessary values, we can find the total amount in the account. In this case, a = 1200, r = 0.03, and t = 4.

$y = 1200(1 + 0.03)^{4}$

$y = 1200(1.03)^{4}$

$y = 1200(1.12550881)$

y = 1350.610572, which can be rounded to 1350.61 dollars.

Therefore, after 4 years, the total amount in the account will be about 1350.61 dollars.
