Casey bought 3/8 pound of plums and 5/12 pound of bananas. How many pounds of fruit did he buy?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer:

19/24 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total number of pounds, we should add 3/8 and 5/12. They both have different denominators, so we have to find the least common multiple between 12 and 8. The least common multiple between 12 and 8 is 24. 12 should be multiplied by 2 to get 24 (5 too) and 8 should be multiplied by 3 to get 24 (3 too).

$(3)/(8) + (5)/(12)$

$(3 * 3)/(8 * 3) + (5 * 2)/(12 * 2)$

$(9)/(24) + (10)/(24)$

$(19)/(24)$

In the past you paid $800 per month to rent your apartment. You now pay $900 per month for your rent. What is the percent increase in your rent?

Answers

y = 800 (1.125)^x

it would be 12.5%

if you graph that equation the intersection would be (1,900)

Which quadratic function has a leading coefficient of 2 and a constant term of –3?f(x) = 2x^3 – 3

f(x) = –3x^2 – 3x + 2

f(x) = –3x^3 + 2

f(x) = 2x^2 + 3x – 3

Answers

quadatic means 2nd degree, means highest exponent of placeholder is 2
leading coefient is the number that is in front of the highest power x
constant term is the one that doesn't have an x witht it

quadratic
2nd and last fn are quadratic

leading coefient of 2 is first and last fn

constant term is -3 for first and last fn

answer is last function

The length of a rectangle is twice the width. The perimeter of the rectangle is 24 feet. What is the length of the rectangle? Let x = the width of the rectangle. Which let statement would you use for the length?

Answers

A) L = 2*W
B) 2*L + 2*W = 24
Substituting A into B
2*2*W + 2*W = 24
6W = 24
W=4
L=8

solve this problem as a quadratic equation. The difference between two positive numbers is 5. Their product is 104 find the numbers.

Answers

let's call the smaller number x:

y-x=5
xy=104

y-x=5 can be rewritten as y=x+5

Substituting this into the second equation gives:

x(x+5)=104
x^2+5x=104
x^2+5x-104=0

Then simply solve as a quadratic:

x^2+13x-8x-104=0
x(x+13) -8(x+13)=0
(x-8)(x+13) = 0

x=8,-13

the question said the numbers are positive, so x=8

if x=8,

y=x+5
y=13

So the two numbers are 8 and 13.

The best way to do this is to find the factors of 104. For this I got 1, 2, 4, 8, 13, 26, 52 and 104. From this, you are then able to look at the two that have a difference of five, which in this case, is 8 and 13. You should then double check that when these are multipled, they are equal to 104, which they are. I'm not 100% sure if this is the answer that you are looking for, but the two numbers are 8 and 13
