Answer:
-i
Step-by-step explanation:
i²³⁵ = i²³² × i³
= (i⁴)⁵⁸ × -i
= -i
the amount of watermelon consumed was greater than 8 1/2 pounds.
To determine if the amount of watermelon consumed was less than or greater than 8 1/2 pounds, we need to find the total weight of the watermelons Mr. Hoya brought and then subtract the total amount consumed by the 153 people.
1. Find the total weight of the watermelons:
Total weight = 8 1/4 + 9 1/4 + 8 7/8 + 9 5/8 + 10 3/4
2. Convert all the fractions to a common denominator:
Total weight = (33/4) + (37/4) + (35/4) + (39/4) + (43/4)
3. Add the fractions:
Total weight = (33 + 37 + 35 + 39 + 43) / 4
4. Find the sum:
Total weight = 187 / 4
Now, we'll find the total amount consumed by 153 people:
Total amount consumed = 153 * 1/4
Now, we can compare the total amount consumed to 8 1/2 pounds:
8 1/2 = 17/2 = 34/4
Now, let's compare the values:
Total amount consumed = 153 * 1/4 = 153/4 ≈ 38.25
8 1/2 pounds = 34/4 = 8.5
The total amount consumed (38.25) is greater than 8 1/2 pounds (8.5). Therefore, the amount of watermelon consumed was greater than 8 1/2 pounds.
