Answer: 4/12 or 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

A whole cake is 12/12.

He gave away 1/12, 5/12, and 2/12s of the cake

1+5+2 = 8

So he gave out 8/12s of the cake, which means he has 4/12 left, or 1/3 if you want simplest form.

Hope this helps.

An 11-ft ladder leans against the side of a house. The bottom of the ladder is 9-ft from the side of the house. How high is the
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

6.3 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

This requires the pythagorean theorem: a^2+b^2=c^2 where "a" and "b" are legs and c is the hypotenuse(longest side of the triangle which is opposite to the 90 degree angle.) If we fill the equation where c is the ladder length(11) and "a" is the distance from the house(), and "b" is the height, 9^2+b^2=11^2 or 81+b^2=121. This is equivalent to b^2=40. b=6.3 when rounded to the nearest tenth.
