Jeff worked 4 and 2/3 hours in the morning and 3 and 3/4 hours in the afternoon. How many total hours did he work 1. 8 and 1/2 hours
2.7 and 5/7 hours
3.7 and 5/12 hours
4.8 and 5/12 hours

4. 8 5/12

Step-by-step explanation:

4 2/3 + 3 3/4 =

= 4 + 2/3 + 3 + 3/4

= 4 + 3 + 8/12 + 9/12

= 7 + 17/12

= 7 + 12/12 + 5/12

= 7 + 1 + 5/12

= 8 5/12

-3

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3
