An ant moves forward 18 1⁄2 inches in one hour. It turns around and crawls backward by 13.5 inches in the next hour. Finally, in the third hour, it turns
around and again crawls 46/8 more inches.

10.75 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information:

First hour = + 18 1/2 (forward)

Second hour = - 13.5 (backward)

Third hour = + 46/8 (forward)

Given expression deducted from the questions

Total Distance = First hour + Second hour + Third hour

Substitute values into the expression

Total Distance = 18 1/2 + (-13.5) + 46/8

Convert to decimals

Total Distance = 18.5 - 13.5 + 5.75

Simplify by subtraction/addition

Total Distance = 5 + 5.75

Total Distance =

Please let me know if you have any questions

(2x + 16) + (x) = 180

step-by-step explanation:

given,

abcd is a quadrilateral inscribed in a circle

angle a is labeled x plus 16, (x + 16)

angle b is labeled x degrees, (x)

angle c is labeled 6x minus 4, (6x – 4)

angle d is labeled 2x plus 16, (2x + 16)

what equation can be used to solve for angle b?

we know that the sum of the opposite angles of a simple quadrilateral inscribed in a circle is 180 degrees.

angle b is opposite angle d

therefore, angle b + angle d = 180

(x) + (2x + 16) = 180 

same as (2x + 16) + (x) = 180
