249 Zeros in the expansion of 1,000
First we would change the fractions into decimals and compare them. That way it would be easy to solve when needed.
1/2=0.50
5/8=0.625
1/8=0.125
Now we can see that 1/8 (0.125) is the smallest, followed by 1/2 (0.50), and 5/8 the largest. Now we can match the sizes with the insects.
Since the tiger beetle is the largest we will place that with the length of 5/8 since that is the largest.
The carpenter ant is second largest so it would be matched with 1/2
The aphid is the smallest so that would be with 1/8 as the smallest
*Hope that helped :D*
Let's set it up like this:

Multiply both sides by



We are then going to use the distributive property. Since we also know that the opposite of an number that is squared is the square root, we can also apply that. We would be left with something like this:

The variable

can be both positive or negative.

Answer:
x= 1
QS = 10 cm
QRS = 40cm
Step-by-step explanation:
4x + 1 = 5x
x= 1 cm
QS = 4x + 1 + 5x
= 9x + 1
= 9 + 1
= 10cm
QRS perimeter
QS + RQ + RS but ( RQ = RS)
= 10 + 15 + 15
= 40cm
