A scientist had 1.25 ounces of a chemical. He bought 2.5 ounces more of the chemical and then used 0.75 ounce in an experiment. How much chemical does the scientist have remaining?

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

the initial amount of chemical = 1.25 ounces

Extra amount of chemical =2.5 ounces

Total amount of chemical =1.25+2.5=3.75 ounces

Step two:

we are told that the scientist used 0.75 ounces of chemical

Hence the remaining chemical is

remaining= 3.75-0.75

remaining= 3 ounces

The remainder is 3 ounces

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:

x - 3

discussion:

x^2 - 9 = (x-3) (x+3)   so

(x^2-9)/ (x + 3) = x-3

you,

step-by-step explanation:

she should of added 9^2 and 12^2. that is because it is a^2+b^2=c^2. c^2 is the hypotenuse and should always be bigger than the other two numbers. which is why she should of added 9 squared and 12 squared together instead of 15 squared.
