Answer:

3 7/12

Step-by-step explanation:

You first convert the numbers into improper fractions, so 7 1/12 becomes 85/12 and 4 2/3 becomes 42/12. Then, you subtract these improper fractions and get 43/12 which converts to 3 7/12.

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

60 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the roof is the vertical distance over the horizontal distance. This means for very 7 feet vertical the roof spreads out 2 feet horizontal. So if the roof is 210 feet vertical, then the horizontal will be _____.

This is found by setting up a proportionand solving for the unknown distance.

\frac{7}{2}=\frac{210}{y}

7y = 2*210

7y = 420

y = 60

The horizontal distance will be 60 feet.

Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

a)X=3300

b)Y=7770

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Number Teachers T=6

Number Student S=12

Number in committee n=5

a) Generally the equation for exactly 3 students on the committee is mathematically given by

X=^{S}C_3*^{T}C_3

X=^{12}C_3*^{6}C_3

X=3300

b) Generally the equation for at least one teacher and at least one student on the committee is mathematically given by

Total Ways-(no of ways of selection no teacher or student)

Where total Ways

T=^{(6+12)}C_5

T=8568

Therefore

Y=8568-^{6}C_0*^{12}C_5+^{12}C_0*^{6}C_5

Y=8568-798

Y=7770

A baby wriggled so much that weighing him at the clinic was a problem. So the doctor held the baby and stood on a scale. Then th
Pepsi [2]
X = <span>weight of the baby.
y = </span>weight of the doctor.
z = weight of the nurse.

x + y = 78 so y = 78 - x
x + z = 69 so z = 69 - x
x + y + z = 142

substitute y = 78 - x and z = 69 - x into x + y + z = 142

x + y + z = 142
x +78 - x + 69 - x = 142
-x + 147 = 142
-x = - 5
 x = 5

answer

<span>the weight of the baby was 5 kg</span>

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

0.5r

Step-by-step explanation:

If Jerry took half the time Macy did then that means Macy took twice as long as Jerry. If Jerry’s speed was r then Macy’s speed is 0.5r or half the speed of Jerry. This will mean Macy goes half as slow and takes twice as long to get there.
