Solve 2/3 + 11/18
Explanation
The given question asks to solve the addition of 2/3 and 11/18. To add fractions, we need to find a common denominator, which in this case is 18. We then convert both fractions to have a denominator of 18. 2/3 becomes 12/18 and 11/18 remains the same. Adding these fractions gives us 23/18. The mixed number form of 23/18 is 1 5/18. The decimal form of 23/18 is 1.27777778.Rate this question:

Find the Slope of a line with the points (-4,6) and (1,10)
- A.
-4/3
- B.
4/3
- C.
4/5
- D.
-5/4
Correct Answer
C. 4/5Explanation
To find the slope of a line, we use the formula (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1), where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the coordinates of two points on the line. In this case, the coordinates are (-4,6) and (1,10). Plugging these values into the formula, we get (10 - 6) / (1 - (-4)), which simplifies to 4/5. Therefore, the correct answer is 4/5.Rate this question:

What is the length of c? a = 9 ft, b = 5ft, and c = ?
- A.
√106 ft
- B.
106 ft
- C.
√196 ft
- D.
196 ft
Correct Answer
A. √106 ftExplanation
The length of c can be found using the Pythagorean theorem, which states that in a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse (c) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides (a and b). In this case, a = 9 ft and b = 5 ft. Thus, c^2 = 9^2 + 5^2 = 81 + 25 = 106. Taking the square root of 106 gives us the length of c, which is approximately √106 ft.Rate this question:

Solve the equation 3(6 + 5y) = 2(-5 + 4y)
- A.
Y = -7
- B.
Y = -4
- C.
Y = 4
- D.
Y = 7
Correct Answer
B. Y = -4Explanation
To solve the equation, we first distribute the numbers inside the parentheses. This gives us 18 + 15y = -10 + 8y. Next, we combine like terms by subtracting 8y from both sides, which gives us 10y = -28. Finally, we divide both sides by 10 to solve for y, which gives us y = -2.8. However, since the options provided are whole numbers, we round -2.8 to the nearest whole number, which is -3. Therefore, the correct answer is y = -4.Rate this question:

Solve the equation (2/3)x - 1/6 = (1/2)x + 5/6
- A.
2
- B.
3
- C.
5
- D.
6
Correct Answer
D. 6Explanation
The correct answer is 6. This is because when solving the equation (2/3)x - 1/6 = (1/2)x + 5/6, we can simplify it by multiplying every term by 6 to eliminate the fractions. This results in 4x - 1 = 3x + 5. By rearranging the equation, we get x = 6.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
(-2,4), (2,3), (-1,1)
(-2, 4), (2, 3), (-1, 1)
(-2,4),(2,3),(-1,1)

What would be the correct expression to represent the are of the circle? π is pi
- A.
49 π
- B.
7 π
- C.
14 π
- D.
√49 π
Correct Answer
A. 49 πExplanation
The correct expression to represent the area of a circle is given by multiplying the square of the radius by pi. In this case, the radius is 7, so the expression becomes 7^2 * π, which simplifies to 49π.Rate this question:

- A.
504 cups
- B.
72 cups
- C.
21 cups
- D.
168 cups
Correct Answer
C. 21 cupsExplanation
If a dripping faucet wastes 3 cups of water every 24 hours, then in a week (which consists of 7 days), it will waste 3 cups x 7 days = 21 cups of water.Rate this question:
