Jackson needs to be 1 3/4 inches taller in order to ride the roller coaster. since he can’t wait, he puts on a pair of boots that add 1 1/6 inches to his height and slips an insole inside to add another 1/8 inch to his height. will this make jackson appear tall enough to ride the roller coaster?

Step-by-step explanation:

Jackson need total 13/4 inches taller or 3.25 inches.

height increase by pair of boots = 11/6 inches=1.833 inches

Height increase by insole = 1/8 inches=0.125 inches

So the total height increase by using boots and insole = 1.833 + 0.125

=1.958 inches

So we can say that 1.958 inches is less that 3.25 inches so Jackson can not ride because he could not get enough height to appear tall enough.

No, it won't make Jackson tall enough to ride the roller coaster.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to make the conversion from mixed number to improper fraction:

Multiply the whole number part by the denominator of the fraction.The sum of this product and the numerator of the fraction, will be the numerator of the improper fraction.The denominator does not change.

Then:

$1\frac{1}{6}\ in=(\frac{(1*6)+1}{6})\ in=\frac{7}{6}\ in$

Jackson needs to be $1\frac{3}{4}$ inches taller to ride the rolles coaster.

The pair of boots add $\frac{7}{6}$ inches to his height and the insole adds $\frac{1}{8}$ inches to his height.

Then, we need to add these fractions in order to know if this will make him appear tall enough to ride the rooller coaster.

Since the denominator of these fractions are different, we must find the Least Common Denominator (LCD):

$6=2*3\\\\8=2*2*2=2^3\\\\LCD=3*2^3=24$

Finally, adding the fractions, we get:

$\frac{7}{6}+\frac{1}{8}=\frac{(4)(7)+(3)(1)}{24}=\frac{31}{24}\ in$

To convert this result to mixed numbers:

When we divide the numerator 31 by the denominator 24, we get a quotient of 1. This will be the whole number.We also get a remainder of 7. This will be the numerator of the fraction.The denominator doese not change.

Then:

$\frac{31}{24}\ in=1\frac{7}{24}\ in$

Therefore, since $1\frac{7}{24}\ in$ , the boots and the insole will not make Jackson appear tall enough to ride the roller coaster.

step-by-step explanation:

given

- 2 (3x + 12y - 5 - 17x - 16y + 4 )

simplify the parenthesis by collecting like terms

= - 2 (- 14x - 4y - 1) ← distribute the parenthesis by - 2

= 28x + 8y + 2 → b

What is -2 (3x + 12y - 5 -17 -x -16y + 4 ) simplified?

After a dreary day of rain, the sun peeks through the clouds and a rainbow forms. you notice the rainbow is the shape of a parabola. the equation for this parabola is y = -x2 + 36. graph of a parabola opening down at the vertex 0 comma 36 crossing the x–axis at negative 6 comma 0 and 6 comma 0. in the distance, an airplane is taking off. as it ascends during take-off, it makes a slanted line that cuts through the rainbow at two points. create a table of at least four values for the function that includes two points of intersection between the airplane and the rainbow. analyze the two functions. answer the following reflection questions in complete sentences. what is the domain and range of the rainbow? explain what the domain and range represent. do all of the values make sense in this situation? why or why not? what are the x- and y-intercepts of the rainbow? explain what each intercept represents. is the linear function you created with your table positive or negative? explain. what are the solutions or solution to the system of equations created? explain what it or they represent. create your own piecewise function with at least two functions. explain, using complete sentences, the steps for graphing the function. graph the function by hand or using a graphing software of your choice (remember to submit the graph).
