==================================
Work Shown:
There are 2 x's over the "1/4", so 2*1/4 = 2/4 of a quart is drank in total by this group. Let P = 2/4
There are 5 x's over the "3/4", so 5*3/4 = 15/4 quarts is drank in total by this group. Let Q = 15/4
Subtract P and Q
Q - P = 15/4 - 2/4 = (15-2)/4 = 13/4
Convert the result to a mixed number
13/4 = (12+1)/4
13/4 = 12/4 + 1/4
13/4 = 3 + 1/4
13/4 = 3 & 1/4
Answer:
3 quarts
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine which load is heavier, oak logs weighing 1 2/3 tons or maple logs weighing 1 7/12 tons, we convert these to improper fractions and find that 44/12 tons (oak logs) is heavier than 19/12 tons (maple logs).
To determine which load weighs more, we must compare 1 2/3 tons of oak logs and 1 7/12 tons of maple logs. First, we need to convert these mixed numbers into improper fractions. For the oak logs, we multiply 3 (the whole number) by 3 (the denominator) and add 2 (the numerator), giving us 11/3 tons. For the maple logs, we multiply 1 by 12 (the denominator) and add 7 (the numerator), giving us 19/12 tons.
To compare, we convert these fractions so they have a common denominator:
11/3 tons is equal to 44/12 tons when multiplied by 4/4.
19/12 tons remains unchanged as it already has the common denominator of 12.
Now we compare 44/12 (oak logs) and 19/12 (maple logs). 44/12 tons is greater than 19/12 tons, so the load of oak logs weighs more than the load of maple logs.

Which equation could be used?
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
He could use either. It would probably be better to use one that already has a variable without a coefficient. which one has that? Let me know if that doesn't make sense.
Answer:
The distance between the two trees is
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
Applying the law of cosines
where
c -----> is the distance between the two trees
a ----> is the distance between the transit and the first tree
b ----> is the distance between the transit and the second tree
we have
substitute and solve for c
