At the beginning of the week, a puppy weighed 514 pounds. During the week, the puppy gains 8 ounces. How much does the puppy weigh, in pounds, at the end of the week?

Enter your answer as a mixed number in simplest form by filling in the boxes

♣ explanation ♣

Add 8 ounces onto 5 to get 13, and then, add the unit fraction 1/4 onto it and you get 13 1/4 as your non-simplified mixed number answer.

But wait! The answer must be simplified into the mixed number, "5 3/4" by dividing the current answer by 8 1/2, or any other number that involves similarities to the fractions' characteristics.

a) one student is chosen from classroom a, then a student is chosen from classroom b.  

step-by-step explanation:

independent events are ones in which the probability of one event does not affect the probability of the second event.

one student is chosen from classroom a; this does not affect the chances of choosing a student from classroom b.   this makes these independent events.

when one card is chosen from a standard deck and then set aside before a second card is chosen, the probability of the second card being chosen changes.   this makes them dependent events.

when one student is chosen from classroom a and then a second student is chosen from classroom a, the probability of choosing the second student changes.   this makes them dependent events.

when a letter is chosen from the alphabet and then a second letter is chosen, the probability of choosing the second letter changes.   this makes them dependent events.

c.   x=2.4cm

step-by-step explanation:

similar triangles are triangles which have the same shape but not the same size. this means their angle measures are equal but their side lengths are not instead they are proportional. to solve, we will set up a proportion and solve.

a proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. we form the ratios by finding corresponding sides (sides which match to each other on both triangles by their position). out ratios will be one side of the small triangle over the corresponding side on the big triangle as shown below:

.

to solve the proportion, we'll cross multiply by multiplying numerator with denominator across the equal sign.
