Answer:

Step 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given work on simplification

(6 and one-half + 2 and three-fourths) minus 1.5 times (4.5 divided by 0.5)

(6 1/2 + 2 3/4) - 1.5 (4.5 ÷ 0.5)

Step 1 9 and one-fourth minus 1.5 times (4.5 divided by 0.5)

9 1/4 - 1.5 (4.5 ÷ 0.5)
This is ok as first step is solving parenthesis

Step 2 7.75 times (4.5 divided by 0.5)

7.75 (4.5 ÷ 0.5)
Incorrect, subtraction should be the last step

Answer: second step.

Step-by-step explanation:

you then have to distribute the answer not subtract 9 1/4 from 1.5

you have to do the parenthesis next

4.5/0.5=45/5=9

then

1.5*9= 13.5

then

9.25-13.5 which I think you are capable of solving

A waiter at a restaurant has diarrhea what should happen?

If a baseball player hits a baseball from 4 feet off the ground with an initial velocity of 64 feet per second, how long will it

topjm [15]

Answer:

0.64 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

In the equation provided:

h = −16t2 + 4t + 4

h is the height of the ball and t is time. Since we want to find the time when the ball touches the floor, then height is 0. This leaves us with the equation

-16 $t^{2}$ + 4t + 4 = 0

This is a quadratic equation can be solved with the following formula:

$x= \frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac } }{2a}$

where a=-16

b=4

c=4

Solving for t we will find two different results:

$t1=\frac{-4-\sqrt{272} }{2(-16)} =0.125+0.125\sqrt{17} =0.64039$ $t2=\frac{-4+\sqrt{272} }{2(-16)} =0.125-0.125\sqrt{17} =-0.39039$

Since time can't be negative, we discard t2 and choose t1.

Since it is required to answer in the nearest hundredth, we round the result to t=0.64 seconds.

Kate made a box to hold her jewelry collection. She used 42 inches of wood to build the sides of the box. If the box was 9 Inche

antoniya [11.8K]

We can use the 9 inches wide to determine that 18 inches of the 42 inches are the wide sides. 42 - 18 = 24, so we divide 24 by how many long sides there are, 2. 24 ÷ 2 = 12. The box was 12 inches long.
