So first we will add together the fractions. 3/4 is equal to 6/8, so we will add 6/8 to 7/8 and get 13/8, or 1 5/8.  Then we can add together the whole numbers, 19 and 18, to get 37. Then add 37 + 1 5/8 and get 38 5/8. Lastly, we subtract that amount from 50 to get a finale number of 11 3/8. The pet store donated 11 3/8 pounds of cat food! Hope this helps!

50 - (19 3/4 + 18 7/8) = the cat food
50 - (19 6/8 + 18 7/8) 
50 - (37 13/8) =
50 - (38 5/8) = 
11 3/8 lbs of cat food <==

A fleet of vehicles is comprised of 60 vans, 20 limos, and X sedans. If 10% of all vehicles are limos, how many sedans are in th
xz_007 [3.2K]
10% of all the cars is 20 limos.

20 * 10 = 200 cars total.

limos + vans + sedans = total cars
200 cars total - 20 limos - 60 vans = x sedans

x = 120 sedans

If 8 people can pick the apples from trees in 6 days, how long will it take12 people?
kakasveta [241]
4 days.
If it takes 6 days for 8 people to pick apples then it must take 48 days for 1 person to do it because 6•8=48.
So then it must take 12 people
48/12 days which is 4 to pick apples from trees.

The function y = -0.03(x - 14)^2 + 6 models the mump of a red kangaroo where x is the horizontal distance in meters and y is the
Galina-37 [17]
The trick here is to find the vertex for its highest point and find the root that is of the greatest value for the final distance.

The nice thing about this function is that it has been written in what we call vertex form. This means that the maximum (or minimum if the parabola opens upwards) is given to us at the end of the function. In this case it is 6. We know that the graph starts at (0,0) (because the cangaroo jumps starting at no height with no distance so far) and so if the x-value given for the vertex is 14, we know that if we double that value, it will give us the second root. The total distance jumped is 28m.

Highest point: 6m
Total distance: 28m

Find the simplified quotient. (2x^2 + 5x +3 / x^2 - 3x -4) / (4x^2 + 2x - 6 / x^2 - 8x + 16)
irinina [24]

ANSWER

\frac{x - 4}{2x - 2}

EXPLANATION

The given expression is;

\frac{2 {x}^{2}  + 5x + 3}{ {x}^{2}  - 3x - 4}  \div  \frac{4 {x}^{2}  + 2x - 6}{ {x}^{2}  - 8x + 16}

We factor to obtain;

\frac{(x + 1)(2x + 3)}{(x - 4)(x + 1)}  \div  \frac{2(x - 1)(2x + 3)}{(x - 4)(x - 4)}

Multiply by the reciprocal of the second fraction

\frac{(x + 1)(2x + 3)}{(x - 4)(x + 1)}  \times \frac{(x - 4)(x - 4)}{2(x - 1)(2x + 3)}

Cancel out common factors to get,

\frac{1}{1}  \times \frac{(x - 4)}{2(x - 1)}

\frac{x - 4}{2x - 2}
