Mr. Gallegos made a batch of muffins. He gave 11/21 of the batch to his neighbors and ate 1/8 of the batch himself. Which is the best estimation of the fraction of the batch that was left?

Answers

Answer 1

The Main Answer is the best estimation of the fraction of the batch that was left is [tex]59/168[/tex].

To find the fraction of the batch that was left, we first need to calculate how much was given away to the neighbors and how much Mr. Gallegos ate himself, then subtract those amounts from the total batch.

1. Given that Mr. Gallegos gave [tex]11/21[/tex] of the batch to his neighbors, and ate 1/8 of the batch himself.

2. We need to find the total amount given away and eaten: [tex]Total given away = 11/21[/tex] [tex]Total eaten by Mr. Gallegos = 1/8[/tex]

3. To find the fraction left, subtract the total given away and eaten from the total batch (1): [tex]Fraction left = 1 - (11/21 + 1/8)[/tex]

Now, let's calculate:

To subtract fractions, they must have the same denominator. The least common multiple (LCM) of [tex]21[/tex] and [tex]8[/tex] is [tex]168[/tex]. We'll rewrite the fractions with a common denominator of [tex]168[/tex]:

[tex]11/21 = (11/21) * (8/8) = 88/168 \\1/8 = (1/8) * (21/21) = 21/168[/tex]

So, the expression becomes:

[tex]Fraction left = 1 - (88/168 + 21/168) \\= 1 - (109/168)[/tex]

To subtract [tex]109/168[/tex] from [tex]168/168[/tex] (which equals 1), we'll subtract the numerators:

[tex]Fraction left = (168/168) - (109/168) \\= 59/168[/tex]

Therefore, the best estimation of the fraction of the batch that was left is [tex]59/168[/tex].

1/8 divided by 1/4 =

Answers

=

1 /8  / 1 /4

=( 1/ 8 )( 4 /1 )

= (1)(4)/ (8)(1)

= 4 /8

= 1 /2  or 0.5

Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

To multiply fractions we do keep change flip, keeping the first fraction, changeing the division into multiplication and flipping the last fraction so we don't have to go into decimals   so 1/8 divded by 1/4 becomes

1/8 * 4/1

Now we multiply the numerators together and the denominators together and then put it back in fraction form. Another option is to cross reduce, both will be shown.

Multiplying numerators and denominators

1 * 4 = 4

8 * 1 = 8

Put it into fraction form;

4/8          Now simplify

1/2

Cross Reducing

To cross reduce you can divde two numbers that are accross from each other in a fraction equation (Multiplication only) by the same number

1/8 * 4/1      The four and eight are across from each other so we can cross reduce by 4 because that is there gcf

then we have

1/2 * 1/1       now we multiply the numerators by numerators and the denominators by denominators in this case we don't have to go that far though because 1/1 is 1 and anything times one is itself, therefore the awnser is

1/2

Micahdisu please help

Answers

Answer:

1) A - 42°

2) 74°

3) B - 45°

4) B - 66°

Step-by-step explanation:

1) E = D+H

87 = 45 + H

H = 42°

2) 180 - 50 - D

D = 180 - 44 - 62 = 74°

3) F = 105

H = 180-105 = 75

I + H = C + E

I + 75 = 83 + 37

I = 45°

4) D = 180 - (E + F)

D = 180 - (30 + 57) = 93°

93 = A + 27

A = 66°

Answer: In figure 1, angle H = 42°. In figure 2, angle F = 56°. In figure 3, angle I = 45° and in figure 4, angle A = 66°

Step-by-step explanation: Please refer to the attached diagram for details.

From figure 1, if angle E measures 87, then angle F would be calculated as

Angle F = 180 - 87 {Sum of angles on a straight line equals 180}

Angle F = 93

Then looking at triangle FHD, we have angles D and F as 45 and 93. Angle H = 180 - (45 + 93) {Sum of angles in a triangle equals 180}

Angle H = 180 - 138

Angle H = 42

From figure 2, if triangle ACB has two angles given as 44 and 62, then the third angle C, would be calculated as

Angle C = 180 - (44 + 62) {Sum of angles in a triangle equals 180}

Angle C = 180 - 106

Angle C = 74

Note that angle D equals angle C {Opposite angles are equal}. So if angle D measures 74, then looking at triangle FED, we have two angles already, E and D which are 50 and 74. To calculate angle F, the equation would be

f = 180 - 50 - 74

f = 56

That is, angle F = 56.

From figure 3, we have angles C and E given as 83 and 37. To calculate angle G

Angle G = 180 - (83 + 37) {Sum of angles on a straight line equals 180}

Angle G = 180 - 120

Angle G = 60

Also, to calculate angle H,

Angle H = 180 - 105 {Sum of angles on a straight line equals 180}

Angle H = 75

Looking at triangle GHI, we have identified two angles which are 60 and 75. To calculate the third angle which is angle I,

Angle I = 180 - (60 + 75) {Sum of angles in a triangle equals 180}

Angle I = 180 - 135

Angle I = 45

From figure 4, if angles B and E measure 27 and 30 respectively then the whole of that angle measures 27 + 30 which equals 57.

So looking at the biggest of all three triangles, two angles have been identified which are angles F and {B + E}

To calculate angle A

Angle A = 180 - (57 + 57) {Sum of angles in a triangle equals 180}

Angle A = 180 - 114

Angle A = 66.

How is the distributive property used when finding the product of two polynomials? How are polynomials closed under multiplication?

Answers

Answer:

Multiplying polynomials is a bit more challenging than adding and subtracting polynomials. We must use the distributive property to multiply each term in the first polynomial by each term in the second polynomial. We then combine like terms. We can also use a shortcut called the FOIL method when multiplying binomials. Certain special products follow patterns that we can memorize and use instead of multiplying the polynomials by hand each time. We will look at a variety of ways to multiply polynomials.

Answer:

x = 2 , y = -3

Step-by-step explanation by elimination:

Solve the following system:

{3 x - y = 9 | (equation 1)

2 x - y = 7 | (equation 2)

Subtract 2/3 × (equation 1) from equation 2:

{3 x - y = 9 | (equation 1)

0 x - y/3 = 1 | (equation 2)

Multiply equation 2 by 3:

{3 x - y = 9 | (equation 1)

0 x - y = 3 | (equation 2)

Multiply equation 2 by -1:

{3 x - y = 9 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = -3 | (equation 2)

Add equation 2 to equation 1:

{3 x+0 y = 6 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = -3 | (equation 2)

Divide equation 1 by 3:

{x+0 y = 2 | (equation 1)

D.)48 Inches​

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

that the ansewer if you divid

Final answer:

The length of the rectangle with a perimeter of 60 inches and a width of 12 inches is 18 inches, calculated using the perimeter formula for rectangles and solving for the length.

Explanation:

The question asks us to find the length of a rectangle given its perimeter and width. To solve this, we use the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle, which is P = 2l + 2w, where P is the perimeter, l is the length, and w is the width. In this case, we have P = 60 inches and w = 12 inches.

So, substituting the given values into the formula, we get:

60 = 2l + 2(12)

First, calculate the double of the width:

2(12) = 24 inches

Now, subtract this value from the total perimeter to find the double of the length:

60 - 24 = 36 inches

Finally, divide by 2 to find the length of the rectangle:

36 / 2 = 18 inches

Therefore, option B, 18 inches, is the correct answer for the length of the rectangle.

The perimeter of a triangle is 65 meters. The second side is 5 meters less than the first side The third side is 7
meters more than the first side. What is the length of each side?​

Answers

Answer:

The length of each side is 31.5m, 26.5m, 7m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the first side of the triangle be x meters.

Then, the second side is x-5 meters.

The third side is given as 7 meters.

The perimeter is 65 meters

This gives us the equation:

[tex]65 = x + x - 5 + 7[/tex]

[tex]65 - 7 + 5 = x + x[/tex]

[tex]63 = 2x[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{63}{2} = 31.5[/tex]

The length of each side is 31.5m, 26.5m, 7m
