Question # 1

Answer:

$\frac{-2}{3}\times \frac{3}{5}+\frac{5}{2}\times \frac{3}{5}\times \frac{1}{6}=-\frac{3}{20}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression

$\frac{-2}{3}\times \frac{3}{5}+\frac{5}{2}\times \frac{3}{5}\times \frac{1}{6}$

$=-\frac{2}{5}+\frac{5}{2}\times \frac{3}{5}\times \frac{1}{6}$ ∵ $\frac{-2}{3}\times \frac{3}{5}=-\frac{2}{5}$

$=-\frac{2}{5}+\frac{1}{4}$ ∵ $\frac{5}{2}\times \frac{3}{5}\times \frac{1}{6}=\frac{1}{4}$

$\mathrm{Least\:Common\:Multiplier\:of\:}5,\:4:\quad 20$

$=-\frac{8}{20}+\frac{5}{20}$

$\mathrm{Since\:the\:denominators\:are\:equal,\:combine\:the\:fractions}:\quad \frac{a}{c}\pm \frac{b}{c}=\frac{a\pm \:b}{c}$

$=\frac{-8+5}{20}$

$\mathrm{Add/Subtract\:the\:numbers:}\:-8+5=-3$

$=\frac{-3}{20}$

$\mathrm{Apply\:the\:fraction\:rule}:\quad \frac{-a}{b}=-\frac{a}{b}$

$=-\frac{3}{20}$

Therefore,

$\frac{-2}{3}\times \frac{3}{5}+\frac{5}{2}\times \frac{3}{5}\times \frac{1}{6}=-\frac{3}{20}$

Question # 2

Answer:

$\frac{2}{5}\times \frac{-3}{7}-\frac{1}{6}\times \frac{3}{2}\times \frac{1}{14}\times \frac{2}{5}=-\frac{5}{28}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\frac{2}{5}\times \frac{-3}{7}-\frac{1}{6}\times \frac{3}{2}\times \frac{1}{14}\times \frac{2}{5}$

$=-\frac{6}{35}-\frac{1}{6}\times \frac{3}{2}\times \frac{2}{5}\times \frac{1}{14}$ ∵ $\frac{2}{5}\times \frac{-3}{7}=-\frac{6}{35}$

$=-\frac{6}{35}-\frac{1}{140}$ ∵ $\frac{1}{6}\times \frac{3}{2}\times \frac{1}{14}\times \frac{2}{5}=\frac{1}{140}$

$\mathrm{Least\:Common\:Multiplier\:of\:}35,\:140:\quad 140$

$=-\frac{24}{140}-\frac{1}{140}$

$\mathrm{Since\:the\:denominators\:are\:equal,\:combine\:the\:fractions}:\quad \frac{a}{c}\pm \frac{b}{c}=\frac{a\pm \:b}{c}$

$=\frac{-24-1}{140}$

$\mathrm{Subtract\:the\:numbers:}\:-24-1=-25$

$=\frac{-25}{140}$

$\mathrm{Apply\:the\:fraction\:rule}:\quad \frac{-a}{b}=-\frac{a}{b}$

$=-\frac{25}{140}$

$\mathrm{Cancel\:the\:common\:factor:}\:5$

$=-\frac{5}{28}$

Therefore,

$\frac{2}{5}\times \frac{-3}{7}-\frac{1}{6}\times \frac{3}{2}\times \frac{1}{14}\times \frac{2}{5}=-\frac{5}{28}$

A building's construction cost was $625,000. the building is 80 feet long, 45 feet wide and 12 feet high. what was the cost of t

Alborosie

Volume = Length x Width x Height
Volume = 80 x 45 x 12
Volume = 43200 ft³

Cost per cubic foot = $625 000 ÷ 43200
Cost per cubic foot = $14.47

----------------------------------------------
Answer: $14.47 per cubic foot.
