Explanation:
1/2 = 4/8 after multiplying top and bottom by 8
So the mixed number 7 1/2 is the same as 7 4/8
We can convert to an improper fraction like so
7 4/8
7 + 4/8
7*(8/8) + 4/8
56/8 + 4/8
(56+4)/8
60/8
Notice how dividing 60 over 8 leads to 7 remainder 4. Think of it like having 60 cookies and you want to share them amongst 8 friends. Each friend gets 7 whole cookies (7*8 = 56 taken so far) and then we have 60-56 = 4 left over as the remainder.
Through similar steps, you should find that the mixed number 1 7/8 converts to the improper fraction 15/8.
-----------------------------
To rephrase the problem with improper fractions would be to say:
"The electrician needs to buy 60/8 feet of wire. There are 15/8 feet of wire in each spool. How many spools should the electrician buy?"
Let x be the answer to that question.
We multiply the number of spools (x) by the amount of feet of wire per spool (15/8) to get the expression (15/8)x
Set this equal to the target 60/8 and solve for x
(15/8)x = 60/8
15x = 60 .... multiply both sides by 8 to clear out the fractions
x = 60/15
x = 4
The electrician needs to buy exactly 4 spools
-----------------------------
A different approach could have us convert each mixed number into decimal form
7 1/2 = 7 + 1/2 = 7 + 0.5 = 7.5
1 7/8 = 1 + 7/8 = 1 + 0.875 = 1.875
So the electrician needs to buy 7.5 ft total and each spool has 1.875 ft of wire.
Using the same idea as before, we would then have,
1.875x = 7.5
x = (7.5)/(1.875)
x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:
find the measure of acute angle of a right angle triangle when one angle is 60°
Answer:
30 degrees.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the acute angle be x.
Then as the 2 acute angles in a right triangle sum to 90 degrees,
x = 90 - 60
= 30.
We used the information we know to give us this equation.
90°+60°+x=180°
We add 90° and 60° to give 150°
150°+x=180°
x must therefore be 30°An airplane from Singapore to Melbourne takes about 7 1/2 hours to cover a distance of 6057 km. What is the average speed of the airplane.

1. Determine the sum of the first 53 terms of the following series: 179+173+167+...
2. Determine the sum of the first 19 terms of the following series: 6−12+24−48+...
(1) This series consists of terms of an arithmetic sequence:
179 - 173 = 6
173 - 167 = 6
and so on, so that the n-th term in the series is (for n ≥ 1)
a(n) = 179 - 6 (n - 1) = 185 - 6n
Then the sum of the first 53 terms is
[tex]\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^{53}(185-6n) = 185\sum_{n=1}^{53}1-6\sum_{n=1}^{53}n[/tex]
[tex]\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^{53}(185-6n) = 185\times53-6\times\frac{53\times54}2[/tex]
[tex]\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^{53}(185-6n) = \boxed{1219}[/tex]
(2) This series has terms from a geometric sequence:
-12 / 6 = -2
24/(-12) = -2
-48/24 = -2
and so on. The n-th term is (again, for n ≥ 1)
a(n) = 6 (-2)ⁿ⁻¹
and the sum of the first 19 terms is
[tex]\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^{19}6(-2)^{n-1} = 6\left(1 + (-2) + (-2)^2 + (-2)^3 + \cdots+(-2)^{19}\right)[/tex]
Multiply both sides by -2 :
[tex]\displaystyle-2\sum_{n=1}^{19}6(-2)^{n-1} = 6\left((-2) + (-2)^2 + (-2)^3 + (-2)^4 + \cdots+(-2)^{20}\right)[/tex]
Subtracting this from the first sum gives
[tex]\displaystyle(1-(-2))\sum_{n=1}^{19}6(-2)^{n-1} = 6\left(1 -(-2)^{20}\right)[/tex]
and solving for the sum, you get
[tex]\displaystyle3\sum_{n=1}^{19}6(-2)^{n-1} = 6\left(1 -(-2)^{20}\right)[/tex]
[tex]\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^{19}6(-2)^{n-1} = 2\left(1 -(-2)^{20}\right)[/tex]
[tex]\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^{19}6(-2)^{n-1} = 2\left(1 -(-1)^{20}2^{20}\right)[/tex]
[tex]\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^{19}6(-2)^{n-1} = 2\left(1 -2^{20}\right) = 2-2^{21} = \boxed{-2,097,150}[/tex]
Mrs. Kennedy is teaching an 8th grade class. She is standing 7 meters in front of Catherine. Davis is sitting to Catherine’s left. If Davis and Mrs. Kennedy are 12 meters apart, how far apart are Davis and Catherine?
13.90 meters
5 meters
9.75 meters
4.36 meters
Answer:
9.75 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
Davis and Catherine are approximately 13.90 meters apart.
How to determine distance apartTo find the distance between Davis and Catherine, we can use the concept of right triangles and apply the Pythagorean theorem.
Let's consider a right triangle where the distance between Davis and Mrs. Kennedy is the base, the distance between Mrs. Kennedy and Catherine is the height, and the distance between Davis and Catherine is the hypotenuse.
According to the given information, Mrs. Kennedy is 7 meters in front of Catherine, and Davis and Mrs. Kennedy are 12 meters apart.
Using the Pythagorean theorem, we have:
(Base)² + (Height)² = (Hypotenuse)²
Substituting the given values:
(12)² + (7)² = (Hypotenuse)²
Simplifying the equation:
144 + 49 = (Hypotenuse)²
193 = (Hypotenuse)²
Taking the square root of both sides:
√193 ≈ 13.89 = 13.90
Therefore, Davis and Catherine are approximately 13.90 meters apart.

On a Job application Doris gave her age as 32 years. Her actual age at the time was about 27. What is the relative error fo her age?
Answer:
Relative error = 0.19
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Measured age = 32 years
Actual age = 27 years
Relative error =?
Next, we shall determine the absolute error. This can be obtained as follow:
Measured age = 32 years
Actual age = 27 years
Absolute error =?
Absolute error = | Measured – Actual |
Absolute error = | 32 – 27 |
Absolute error = 5 years
Finally, we shall determine the relative error. This can be obtained as follow:
Absolute error = 5 years
Actual age = 27 years
Relative error =?
Relative error = Absolute error / Actual years
Relative error = 5 / 27
Relative error = 0.19

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
An image that creates represents this situation has been attached to this answer. As one can see, the diagram models the situation, the angle of depression represents the angle between the horizon line and the line of sight. The horizon line and the tower form a right angle (a (90) degree angle). This means that the angle of depression is complementary to the angle of sight. Therefore, one can state the following:
[tex](angle\ of\ depression) + (angle\ of \ sight)=90[/tex]
Substitute,
[tex](angle\ of\ depression) + (angle\ of \ sight)=90[/tex]
[tex](m<ABD)+(m<DBC)=90[/tex]
[tex]42+(m<DBC)=90[/tex]
Inverse operations,
[tex]42+(m<DBC)=90[/tex]
[tex]m<DBC=48[/tex]
Now one can use the right angle trigonometric ratios to solve this problem. The right angle trigonometric ratios are a series of ratios that describe the relationship between the sides and angles in a right triangle. These ratios are as follows:
[tex]sin(\theta)=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}\\\\cos(\theta)=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}\\\\tan(\theta)=\frac{opposite}{adjacent}[/tex]
Bear in mind, the terms (opposite) and (adjacent) are subjective, and change depending on the reference angle. However, the term (hypotenuse) refers to the side opposite the right angle and is constant regardless of the reference angle.
In this case, one has found an angle in the triangle, one is given the measure of the side opposite this angle, and one is asked to find the side adjacent to this angle. Therefore, it would make the most sense to use the ratio tangent (tan).
[tex]tan(\theta)=\frac{opposite}{adjacnet}[/tex]
Substitute,
[tex]tan(48)=\frac{180}{adjacent}[/tex]
Inverse operations,
[tex]tan(48)=\frac{180}{adjacent}[/tex]
[tex]adjacent=\frac{180}{tan(48)}[/tex]
[tex]adjacent=162.07[/tex]

Which of the following best describes a basic postulate of Euclidean
geometry?
A. All circles measure 360°
B. All right triangles are congruent.
C. A straight line segment has a midpoint.
D. A straight line segment can be drawn between any two points.
Answer:
D. A straight line segment can be drawn between any two points.
Step-by-step explanation:
Euclid of Alexandria was famously known and regarded as the founder of geometry, as well as the father of geometry. He was born in the Mid-fourth century, BC and he specialized in the field of Mathematics. Some of his popular works in the field of Mathematics were Euclid's Elements, Euclidean algorithm and Euclidean geometry.
One of the basic postulate of Euclidean geometry is that a straight line segment can be drawn between any two points.
Others include;
I. All right angles are congruent.
II. All straight line segment is indefinitely extendable in a straight line.
if the mean of x1,x2,x3 and x4 is 6 then find the mean of x1+10,x2+8,x3+16 and x4+2
Answer:
f the mean of this set is equal to 20, we can write down the below equation,
20 = (x1 + x2 +x3 + .... + x10)/10
x1 + x2 + x3 + ... x10 = 200
Then we can also write an equation for the mean of the given numbers as below,
Mean = [(x1+4) + (x2+8) + (x3+12) + .... + (x10+40)]/10
= (x1 + x2 + x3 + ... + x10 + 4 + 8 + 12 + ... + 40)/10
Then we can use above equation (1) to replace x1 + x2 + x3 + ... + x10 by 200
Mean = (200 + 4 + 8 +12 + 16 + 20 + 24 + 28 + 32 + 36 + 40)/10
= 420/10
= 42
If you remember Arithmetic Progressions you can simply add together the above number set.
If you closely look above, you can find that there is an Arithmetic Progression : 4, 8, 12, ... , 40
Here we want the addition of 10 terms. So we can use,
Sn = n/2(a+l)
S10 = 10/2(4+40)
= 220
Then you can easily get the answer,
Mean = (200 + 220)/10
= 42

option D is correctThe population of a town is 157,220 and is decreasing at a rate of 0.8% each year. Predict the population in 5 years (round to the nearest whole number).
Answer:
151,031
Step-by-step explanation:
If the population of a town is decreasing at 0.8% each year, the new population of the town will be [tex]100\%-0.8\%=99.2\%[/tex] of what it was last year. To find 99.2% of something, multiply it by 0.992. Therefore, we can write the following equation:
[tex]f(x)=157,220\cdot 0.992^x[/tex], where [tex]f(x)[/tex] is the population of the town [tex]x[/tex] years after the town had a population of 157,220.
Substitute [tex]x=5[/tex] into this equation to get the projected population after 5 years:
[tex]f(5)=157,220\cdot 0.992^5, \\f(5)=151031.019048,\\f(5)\approx \boxed{151,031}[/tex]
Therefore, in 5 years, the population should be 151,031.

The length of a rectangle is 3 times the width. The perimeter of the rectangle is 64 cm. Show the equation that would be used to find the dimensions of the rectangle.
Answer:
64 = 2(3x + x)
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter of the rectangle = 64 cm
Width of the rectangle = x
Length of the rectangle = 3x
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(length + width)
The equation is
64 = 2(3x + x)
64 = 6x + 2x
64 = 8x
x = 64/8
x = 8 cm
Width of the rectangle = x = 8 cm
Length of the rectangle = 3x
= 3(8 cm)
= 24 cm
