-5 1/2 + 6 3/4 + (-4 1/4)
To solve this problem, we first need to convert all mixed numbers to improper fractions:

-5 1/2 = -11/2
6 3/4 = 27/4
-4 1/4 = -17/4

Now we can add the fractions:

-11/2 + 27/4 - 17/4
To add fractions, they need to have a common denominator, which in this case is 4.

-11/2 = -22/4
27/4 remains the same
-17/4 remains the same

Now we can add the fractions:

-22/4 + 27/4 - 17/4 = -12/4 = -3

Therefore, -5 1/2 + 6 3/4 + (-4 1/4) = -3.
Simplify

(a^2b^4c)^3
To simplify the expression (a^2b^4c)^3, you need to raise each term inside the parenthesis to the power of 3.

(a^2)^3 * (b^4)^3 * c^3

Now, simplify the terms:

(a^6) * (b^12) * c^3

Therefore, the simplified expression is a^6 * b^12 * c^3.
Voyager 1 is a space probe exploring interstellar space, the region between the stars.
About how many hours does it take, Voyager 1 to travel 14,200,000,000 miles if it travels at a constant rate of 38,000 miles per hour?

3.74 x 10^7

2.68 x 10^6

3.74 x 10^6

2.68 x 10^14
To calculate the time it takes for Voyager 1 to travel 14,200,000,000 miles at a constant rate of 38,000 miles per hour, we can use the formula:

Time = Distance / Speed

Substitute the values into the formula:

Time = 14,200,000,000 / 38,000
Time = 373684.2105 hours

Now, we can express 373,684.2105 in scientific notation:

373,684.2105 = 3.736842105 x 10^5

Therefore, the correct option is 3.74 x 10^7.
What is equivalent to -(7/8)

-7/-8

-(7/-8)

-(-7/8)

-7/8
To find the equivalent of -(7/8), you keep the negative sign with the fraction.

So, -(7/8) = -(7/8).

Therefore, the equivalent is -(7/8).
