Spencer has a wooden post that is five and three sevenths feet long. He cut two and one half feet off the post. What is the length of the remaining post in feet?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

  2 13/14 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The remaining length is the difference between the starting length and the amount cut off:

  5 3/7 - 2 1/2 = (5 -2) +(3/7 -1/2) = 3 +((3·2-7·1)/(7·2)) = 3 -1/14

  = 2 13/14 . . . feet remaining

Additional comment

Addition and subtraction of fractions can be accomplished using a formula that does not rely on finding a least common denominator. In this case, the denominators have no common factors, so their product is, in fact, the least common denominator.

How to write an equation in the subject of a variable?

To write an equation in the subject of a specified variable, isolate this variable at one side of the equation using the mathematical operations.

The expression given in the problem is,

[tex]p=6q +7[/tex]

This equation need to be written as the subject of q. Subtract 7 both side of the equation to do this,

[tex]p+7=6q +7-7\\p+7=6q[/tex]

Divide both side of equation with number 6.

[tex]\dfrac{p+7}{6}=q[/tex]

Rewrite the equation as,

[tex]q=\dfrac{p+7}{6}[/tex]

Thus, to make q the subject of provided equation p equal to 6q +7, rewrite the equation in terms of q as q=(p+7)/6.

The probability of event A is 0. 48, the probability of event A and B is 0. 21, and the probability of events A or B is 0. 89. What is the probability of event B? 0. 09 0. 20 0. 27 0. 62.

Answers

Probabilities are used to determine the chances of an event

The probability of event B is 0.62

The probabilities are given as:

[tex]\mathbf{P(A) = 0.48}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{P(A\ and\ B) = 0.21}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{P(A\ or\ B) = 0.89}[/tex]

To calculate the probability of event B, we make use of the following formula

[tex]\mathbf{P(A\ and\ B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A\ or\ B)}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{0.21 = 0.48 + P(B) - 0.89}[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]\mathbf{P(B)= -0.48 +0.21 + 0.89}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{P(B)= 0.62}[/tex]

Hence, the probability of event B is 0.62

Answers

Answer:

Angle B = 88

Angle C = 44

Step-by-step explanation:

X+48+(X-44)=180

Subtract 48 from both sides

X+48-48+(x-44)=180-48

X+(x-44)=132

2x-44+44=132+44

2x= 176

X=88

Angle A=48

Angle B =88

Angle C=44

(88-44)

88+44+48=180

Answer:

∠A = 48°

∠B = 48°

∠C = 84°

Explanation:

For C, it is parallel to A, so it would be the same sized angle. For context, all angles of a triangle add up to 180°, so you do; ∠A + ∠C and get 96°

Then you do, 180° - 96° to get 84°

So ∠C would be 84°

the number of year 9 students : the number of year 10 students = n : 1
Work out the value of n.
You must show how you get your answer.

Answers

2:1

Step-by-step explanation:

List all variables

Total people=120

year 11 students=120/2=60

year 10 students=60/3=20

subtract year 10 and 11 students from the total to get the number of year 9 students

year 9 students=120-60-20

=40

year9:year10

40:20

2:1

Value of variable 'n' as per the given condition number of 9 year students : number of 10 year students = n:1 is equals to 2.

What is variable?

" A variable is defined as the quantity which represents the change in value  as per the given condition in a mathematical problem."

According to the question,

Total number of students in school = 120

As per the conditions given we have,

Number of 11 year students = [tex]\frac{120}{2}[/tex]

                                               = 60 people

Number of 11year students = 3 × ( Number of 10 year students)

Number of 10 year students = [tex]\frac{Number of 11 year students}{3}[/tex]

                                                   = [tex]\frac{60}{3}[/tex]

                                                   = 20 people

Number of (11year + 10year +  9year ) students  = 120  

⇒ 60 + 20 + Number of 9 year students =120                                        

Number of 9 year students = 120 - 80

                                                 = 40 people

Substitute the value in the given condition  to get the value of the variable we get,

Number of 9 year students : Number of 10 year students = n:1

⇒40 : 20 = n: 1

n = 2

Hence, value of variable 'n' as per the given condition number of 9 year students : number of 10 year students = n:1 is equals to 2.
