Answers

Answer 1

Given:

The expression is

[tex]2\dfrac{1}{3}-1\dfrac{2}{5}[/tex]

To find:

The error in Frankie's work.

Solution:

We need to simplify [tex]2\dfrac{1}{3}-1\dfrac{2}{5}[/tex], so

[tex]2\dfrac{1}{3}=2\dfrac{1}{3}\times \dfrac{5}{5}[/tex]

[tex]2\dfrac{1}{3}=2\dfrac{5}{15}[/tex]

and,

[tex]1\dfrac{2}{5}=-1\dfrac{2}{5}\times \dfrac{3}{3}[/tex]

[tex]1\dfrac{2}{5}=-1\dfrac{6}{15}[/tex]

Now,

[tex]2\dfrac{1}{3}-1\dfrac{2}{5}=2\dfrac{5}{15}-1\dfrac{6}{15}[/tex]

[tex]2\dfrac{1}{3}-1\dfrac{2}{5}=(2+\dfrac{5}{15})-(1+\dfrac{6}{15})[/tex]

[tex]2\dfrac{1}{3}-1\dfrac{2}{5}=2+\dfrac{5}{15}-1-\dfrac{6}{15}[/tex]

[tex]2\dfrac{1}{3}-1\dfrac{2}{5}=1-\dfrac{1}{15}[/tex]

[tex]2\dfrac{1}{3}-1\dfrac{2}{5}=\dfrac{14}{15}[/tex]

Therefore, there is error in Frankie's last step. In that step, he did not subtract the mixed fraction correctly.

Step-by-step explanation:

Molly invested $50,000 in various stocks and bonds. She earned 15% on the bonds and 18% on the stocks. Molly's total profit on both types of investments was $8700, how much of the $50,000 did she invest in bonds?

Answers

Answer:

$10000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Molly invested $50,000 in various stocks and bonds.

She earned 15% on bonds and 18% on stocks

Let the bonds be denoted by a

However, her profit on both types of investment is said to be $8700

We are to find how much of the $50,000 did she invest in bonds.

i.e

0.15a + 0.18(50000-a)  = 8700

open brackets

0.15a + 9000 - 0.18a = 8700

Collect like terms

0.15a - 0.18a = 8700 - 9000

-0.03a  = -300

Divide both sides by(-0.03); we get

a = 10000

Thus, Molly invested $10000 in the bonds.

Kamal is 17 years older than Gina. Gina is 3 years younger than Rachelle. If the sum of their ages is 77, how old is Gina?

Answers

Answer:

Answer : Gina's age is 19 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Kamal is 17 years older than Gina. Gina is 3 years younger than Rachelle.

Let Gina's age be x years

So Kamal’s age will be = x + 17

Rachelle’s age = x + 3

the sum of their ages is 77, Accordingly

x + x + 17 + x + 3 = 77

3x + 20 = 77

3x = 77 - 20

3x = 57

x = 57/3

x = 19

Thus Gina's age is 19 years,

Kamal’s age x + 17 = 19 + 17 = 36 years

Rachelle’s age x + 3 = 19 + 3 = 22 years

Gina = 19 years old

Answer:

F. [tex] 4, 4\sqrt{3} [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

✔️Finding length of side s using:

[tex] cos(\theta) = \frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse} [/tex]

Where,

[tex] cos(\theta) = cos(60) = \frac{1}{2} [/tex]

Adjacent = s

Hypotenuse = 8

Plug in the values

[tex] \frac{1}{2} = \frac{s}{8} [/tex]

Multiply both sides by 8

[tex] \frac{1}{2} \times 8 = \frac{s}{8} \time 8 [/tex]

[tex] \frac{8}{2} = s [/tex]

[tex] 4 = s [/tex]

s = 4

✔️Finding length of side q using:

[tex] sin(\theta) = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse} [/tex]

Where,

[tex] sin(\theta) = sin(60) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} [/tex]

Opposite = q

Hypotenuse = 8

Plug in the values

[tex] \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = \frac{q}{8} [/tex]

Multiply both sides by 8

[tex] \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \times 8 = \frac{q}{8} \times 8 [/tex]

[tex] \frac{\sqrt{3}}{1} \times 4 = q [/tex]

[tex] 4\sqrt{3} = q [/tex]

[tex] q = 4\sqrt{3} [/tex]

Your dad is designing a new garden for your backyard. He has 20 feet of fencing to go around the garden. He wants the length of the garden to be 2 1/2 feet longer than the width. How long should he make the garden?

Answers

Answer:

Length = 6.25 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Your dad is designing a new garden for your backyard. He has 20 feet of fencing to go around the garden.

Let the width is x.

Length is 2 1/2 feet longer than the width i.e. (x+2 1/2) = (x+2.5) feet

Perimeter = 20 feet

2(l+b) = 20

(l+b) = 10

(x+2.5+x) = 10

2x+2.5 = 10

2x = 7.5

x = 3.75 feet

Length = (x+2.5)

= (3.75+2.5)

= 6.25 feet

So, the length of the garden is 6.25 feet.

Accessories Central is having a summer clearance on sunglasses. Maria wants to buy a pair of sunglasses that cost $48 with a 65% discount. The same pair of sunglasses costs $38 with a 55% discount at Shades, Inc. What is the price difference between Accessories Central and Shades, Inc?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the cost of both pairs of sunglasses after the discounts

65% = 65/100 = 0.65

($48)(0.65) = $31.20

55% = 55/100 = 0.55

($38)(0.55) = $20.90

Then subtract the bigger cost (31.20) from the smaller cost (20.90)

$31.20 - $20.90 = $10.30

$10.30 is your price difference.
