Start by finding the sum of (-8 3/4) and (-2 5/6).  Find the least common denominator (LCD).  12 is the first thing that both 4 and 6 will evenly divide into, so we convert both fractions to 12ths:

-8 3/4 = -8 9/12 (multiply 4 by 3 to get 12, so multiply the numerator, 3, by 3 as well)
-2 5/6 = -2 10/12 (multiply 6 by 2 to get 12, so multiply the numerator, 5, by 2 as well)
-8 9/12 + -2 10/12 = -10 19/12
We must convert the improper fraction.  12 goes into 19 1 time with 7 left over, so 19/12 = 1 7/12
This means that -10 19/12 = -11 7/12
The opposite of 1 1/5 is -1 1/5.  Add this to -11 7/12.  Again find the LCD; in this case it is 60.
-1 1/5 = -1 12/60
-11 7/12 = -11 35/60
Adding these two we get -12 47/60.

A cooler has 12 apple juices and 15 grape juices. 9 of the apple juices are sugar free and 5 of the grape juices are sugar free.
antoniya [11.8K]
To me: given that the juice is sugar free means that I can ignore the 3 sugar apple juices and the 10 sugr grape juices.

Therefore the field of drinks is 14 sugar free drinks and the changes that it is apple juice, is 9:14 or 9/14.

If, on the other hand, the problem is saying that the juice must be sugar free and also apple, that would be 9/27 or 1/3

What is the solution to this system of equations? x + 2 y = 4. 2 x minus 2 y = 5.
Mila [183]

Answer:

(x,y) = (5.8,-0.4)

Step-by-step explanation:

1.)  x + 2y = 4.2 - 2y = 5

2.) { x + 2y =5

    { 4.2 - 2y = 5

3.) { x + 2y = 5

    { y = -0.4

4.) x + 2x ( -4.0 ) = 5

5.) x= 5.8 ( a possible solution )

6.) ( x , y ) = ( 5.8 , -0.4 )  check to the solution

7.)  5.8 + 2 x ( -0.4 ) = 4.2 - 2 x ( -0.4 ) = 5

8.) 5 =5 =5

The probability that a radish seed will germinate is 0.7. a gardener plants seeds in batches of 11. find the standard deviation
den301095 [7]

To calculate for the standard deviation given the probability, we use the formula:

s = sqrt (n p q)

where s is standard deviation, n is number of samples = 11, p is probability of success = 0.7, q = 1 – p = 0.30

 

s = sqrt (11 * 0.7 * 0.3)

<span>s = 1.52</span>
