During a movie, Leon ate 7/8 of a handful of snack mix, and Oscar ate 5/8 of a handful. How
much more did Leon eat?
Write your answer as a fraction or as a whole or mixed number.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Fraction eaten by Leon  = [tex]\frac{7}{8}[/tex]

Fraction eaten by Oscar = [tex]\frac{5}{8}[/tex]

Unknown:

How much more did Leon eat than Oscar = ?

Solution:

Since they both ate from the same snacks,

  Leon will eat =  [tex]\frac{7}{8}[/tex]  -  [tex]\frac{5}{8}[/tex]  more than Oscar;

   This gives;

                               [tex]\frac{7- 5}{8}[/tex]  = [tex]\frac{2}{8}[/tex]  = [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

Leon ate  [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] more snacks than Oscar.

Jacob and Sophia are in a running club and record how long it takes them to run a 5-kilometer race. Jacob's time was 4 minutes under the average time of the running club. The difference between Jacob's time and Sophia's time is 10 minutes. The possible times of Sophia's run are ____ minutes below the average or ____ minutes above the average.

Answers

Answer:

14 minutes below or 6 minutes above

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say Sophia's time was 10 minutes WORSE

4 minutes below average- 10 minutes= 14 minutes below average

Let's say Sophia's time was ten minutes BETTER

4 minutes below average + 10 minutes= 6 minutes above average.

Hope this helps!

Answers:

14 minutes below the average

6 minutes above the average

=====================================================

Let A = average running time

Jacob's time was 4 minutes under the average, so his time is A-4 minutes. Whatever A is, subtract off 4, and you'll get Jacob's time.

Sophia and Jacob have a difference of 10 minutes. If J = Jacob's time and S = sophia's time, then S-J = 10 or J-S = 10 depending on who has the larger time.

We can use absolute value to ensure that whatever we pick (S-J or J-S) will be positive. So |S-J| = 10. Recall that absolute value represents distance on a number line. Negative distance isn't possible.

-------------

Let's plug in J = A-4 and solve for S

|S-J| = 10

|S - ( J )| = 10

|S - (A-4)|

|S-A+4| = 10

S-A+4 = 10  or  S-A+4 = -10

S-A = 10-4  or  S-A = -10-4

S-A = 6  or  S-A = -14

S = A+6 or S = A-14

The equation S = A+6 shows Sophia is 6 minutes above the average

The equation S = A-14 shows Sophia is 14 minutes below the average

-------------

Let's pick some number for A that is over 14 minutes. Let's say the average running time is A = 20 minutes.

If A = 20, then Jacob's time is J = A-4 = 20-4 = 16

If the average running time is 20 minutes, then Jacob ran for 16 minutes.

If we subtract 10 from this, then J-10 = 16-10 = 6 is one possible time for Sophia. Notice how this is 14 minutes below the average (20-14 = 6)

If we add 10 to Jacob's time, then J+10 = 16+10 = 26, which is 6 minutes overage the average (20+6 = 26)

This is one numeric example, but you could use any value of A that you want as long as it's larger than 14. The reason A has to be larger than 14 is to ensure that Sophia's lower time value (A-14) is not negative. Having a time of zero is not feasible either.

The rhombus QRST is made of two congruent isosceles triangles. Given angle QRS = 34, what is the measure of angle S?

Answers

Answer:

146

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know that this is a rhombus, we know that opposite angles must be equal to each other. This means that angle QTS is equal to angle QRS. Therefore angle QTS also equals 34.

Now, we also know that all the interior angles in a quadrilateral add up to 360. We can subtract 360-34-34=292.

Now we know that the remaining two angles S and Q need to add up to 292. We also know that they are equal because they are opposite angles. Therefore, we can solve the equation 292÷2=146. Each of these angles is 146. So the measure of angle S is 146.

The measure angle of S is 146 .

A rhombus is a special case of the parallelogram and is a quadrilateral with four equal sides. In a rhombus, the opposite sides are parallel and the opposite angles are equal. Also, all the sides of the rhombus are equal in length and the diagonals bisect each other at right angles. The rhombus is also known as a diamond.

By symmetry ;

This means that m∠QTS is equal to m∠QRS. Therefore ∠QTS is also equals 34.

We also know that The common property for all the above four-sided shapes is the sum of interior angles is always equal to 360 degrees. For a regular quadrilateral such as square, each interior angle will be equal to: 360/4 = 90 degrees.

Now we know that the remaining two angles S and Q need to add up to 292.

= 360 -34 -34= 292

We also know that they are equal because they are opposite angles.

Therefore, we can solve the equation,

[tex]\frac{sum of two opposite angle}{2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{292}{2}[/tex] = 146

Each of these angles is 146.

So the measure of angle S is 146.

How can you find the sum of the first 5 consecutive positive integers? You can easily add the numbers mentally—the sum is 15. But what if you want to find the sum of the first ​n ​consecutive whole numbers? Keep this question in mind and make some conjectures about a formula.

Answers

Given:

First five consecutive positive integers.

To find:

The sum of the first 5 consecutive positive integers.

Sum of the first ​n ​consecutive whole numbers.

Solution:

First five consecutive positive integers are 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.

Sum of these numbers is

[tex]1+2+3+4+5=15[/tex]

Therefore, the sum of the first 5 consecutive positive integers is 15.

First ​n ​consecutive whole numbers are 0, 1, 2, 3,..., (n-1). These numbers are in AP.

Here, first term is 0 and common difference is 1.

Sum of n terms of an AP is

[tex]S_n=\dfrac{n}{2}[2a+(n-1)d][/tex]

where, a is first term and d is common difference.

Substitute a=0 and d=1 in the above formula.

[tex]S_n=\dfrac{n}{2}[2(0)+(n-1)(1)][/tex]

[tex]S_n=\dfrac{n}{2}[n-1][/tex]

Sum of first 5 consecutive positive integers is equal to the sum of first 6 consecutive whole number because in whole numbers 0 is extra number.

For n=6,

[tex]S_6=\dfrac{6}{2}[6-1][/tex]

[tex]S_6=3(5)[/tex]

[tex]S_6=15[/tex]

The sum of the first 5 consecutive positive integers is 15.

So, the sum of (n-1) consecutive positive integers is

A quadratic equation is a second-order polynomial equation in a single variable x , ax² + bx + c=0. with a ≠ 0. Because it is a second-order polynomial equation, the fundamental theorem of algebra guarantees that it has at least one solution. The solution may be real or complex.

Given data ,

Expression 1 = y² - 4xz + z²

Expression 2 = x² + xz + 2y²

Let Expression 1 - Expression 2 = A

To find Expression 1 - Expression 2 = A

A = y² - 4xz + z² - ( x² + xz + 2y² )

By grouping the like terms , we get

A = ( y² - 2y² ) - ( 4xz + xz ) + z² - x²

Therefore,

A= - y² - 5xz + z² - x²

Hence , the solution is ( -y² - 5xz + z² - x² )
