Mr. Alvarado needs 15 1/8 pounds of chicken feed to fill his feeder. He has one bag of chicken feed that weighs 3 1/2 pounds and another bag of chicken feed that weighs 2 3/4 pounds. How many more pounds of chicken feed does Mr. Alvarado need to fill the chicken feeder?

A: 9 1/8 Lbs

B: 8 7/8 Lbs

C: 9 7/8 Lbs

D: 6 1/4 Lbs

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

B: 8 7/8 Lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

answer = [tex]15\frac{1}{8} -3\frac{1}{2} -2\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

step 1 find a common denominator

common denominator - 8

* apply *

[tex]\frac{1^*^1}{8^*^8} =\frac{1}{8} \\\\\frac{1^*^4}{2^*^4} =\frac{4}{8} \\\\\frac{3^*^2}{4^*^2} =\frac{6}{8}[/tex]

now we have

[tex]15\frac{1}{8} -3\frac{4}{8} -2\frac{6}{8}[/tex]

step 2 make each fraction a improper fraction

We can do this my multiplying the big number by the denominator and adding that to the numerator.

[tex]15*8=120\\120+1=121\\\frac{121}{8} \\\\3*8=24\\24+4=28\\\frac{28}{8} \\\\2*8=16\\16+6=22\\\frac{22}{8}[/tex]

now we have

[tex]\frac{121}{8} -\frac{28}{8} -\frac{22}{8}[/tex]

Now we can subtract

remember when subtracting fractions you only subtract the numerators. ( so we keep the denominator as 8 )

so 121 - 28 - 22 = 71

so the answer is [tex]\frac{71}{8}[/tex]

finally we want to change the answer back into a mixed fraction

To do this we divided 71 and 8

8 can go into 71 8 times

8 * 8 = 64

71 - 64 = 7

We're left with [tex]8\frac{7}{8}[/tex]

A new color of green requires 5 yellow to 4 parts blue. If the paint mixer used 30 gallons of yellow, how many gallons of blue were needed

Answers

Answer:

24 gallons of blue

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of gallons of blue color needed is for the mixer in which 30 gallons of yellow used, 24

What is the ratio?

A ratio in mathematics is a comparison of two or more numbers that shows how big one is in comparison to the other. The dividend or number being divided is referred to as the antecedent, while the divisor or number that is dividing is referred to as the consequent.

Given that,

A new color of green requires 5 yellow to 4 parts blue

The paint mixer used 30 gallons of yellow

The number of gallons of blue color needed = ?

Ratio of yellow to blue in mixture = 5/4

So, if 30 gallons of yellow is used

then gallons of blue = ?

Suppose, gallons of blue =  x

5/4  = 30/x

x  = 24

Hence, the gallons of blue is 24

Write an exponential decay model for each situation. The value of x for each value of f(x) will lie between two consecutive whole numbers. List the whole numbers.

initial value: 1,800
decay rate: 7%
f(x) = 400

Answers

Answer:

The numbers are;

20 and 21

Step-by-step explanation:

A general form of an exponential decay model can be presented as follows;

f(x) = a·(1 + r)ˣ

Where;

f(x) = The output for a given input variable, 'x'

x = The input variable

a = The initial value

r = The growth (+ve) or decay (-ve) rate

When f(x) = 400, a = 1,800, r  = -7% = -0.07, we get;

400 = 1,800 × (1 - 0.07)ˣ

(1 - 0.07)ˣ = 400/1,800 = 2/9

ln((1 - 0.07)ˣ) = ln(2/9)

x = ln(2/9)/(ln(1 - 0.07)) ≈ 20.73

The value of 'x' lies between 20 and 21.

Antoine and Tess have a disagreement over how to compute a 15% gratuity on $46.00.

Tess says, “It is easy to find 10% of 46 by moving the decimal point one place to the left to get $4.60. Do that twice. Then add the two amounts to get 4 dollars and 60 cents + 4 dollars and 60 cents = 9 dollars and 20 cents for the 15% gratuity.”

How should Antoine respond to Tess’s method?
“Tess, the best way to find 15% of $46.00 is to multiply StartFraction 1 over 15 EndFraction by $46.00 to get $3.07, which is the 15% gratuity.”
“Tess, you found 20% of the number because you added 10% and 10%. You need to add 10% to One-half of 10%. Add $4.60 and $2.30 to get $6.90, which is the 15% gratuity.”
“Tess, the best way to find 15% of $46.00 is to multiply 0.015 and 46.00 to get $0.69, which is the 15% gratuity.”
“Tess, you should use a table with 5% segments to find the gratuity. Each 5% segment has a value of $9.20, so that is the 15% gratuity.”

Answers

Answer:

How would Antonio respond....she would say "Thanks for the practice ".

Tess is right about it being easy to find 10% of 46 by moving the decimal point 1 place to the left to get 4.60.....but there is no need to do that twice....because if u do 10% twice, ur doing 20%.

okay....once u get 10% of 46 = 4.60....then u figure 5% of 46 = (0.05(46) = 2.30....because 10% + 5% = 15%.....then u add those together.....4.60 + 2.30 = 6.90. This can easily be checked...15% of 46 = 0.15(46) = 6.9 ,just like 10% of 46 + 5% of 46 = 6.9

Answer:

Explanation:

let the unknown number be represented by x.

54 + 4x = 21

(subtract 54 from both sides)

4x = - 33

2 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The heaviest bag weighs 4 pounds, and the lightest bag weighs 1 1/2.

4 can be converted to 8/2 and 1 1/2 can be converted to 3/2.

8/2-3/2=5/2.

5/2 converts to 2 and 1/2 or 2.5

The heaviest bags weigh than one of the lightest bags by 2.5 pounds.

What is fraction?

A number expressed as a quotient, in which a numerator is divided by a denominator.

The heaviest bag weighs 4 pounds,

and the lightest one weighs 3/2 pounds

The difference between the heaviest and lightest one is:

= 4-3/2

= 8/2-3/2

Answers

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

19.9 + 113.6 = 133.5

180-133.5= 46.5

Answer:

[C] 46.5°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

In triangle xyz, angle x measures 19.9° and angle

y measures 113.6°. what is the measure of angle z

Note that:

Triangle = 180 degree

Solution:
Since,

x = 19.9 degree

y = 113.6 degree

then we have:

19.9 + 133.6 + z = 180

133.5 + z = 180

Subtract both sides by 133.5

133.5 - 133.5 = 180 - 133.5

x = 46.5 degree

Hence, the measure of angle z is 46.5

Also means that [C] 46.5 is the correct answer.
