Okay. On the part that's not the whole number, see how the top number is BIGGER than the bottom? That means that it's not simplified. In order to make it simplified, you have to take a whole out of the pat that's not a whole number. Since the denominator is 12, the whole is 12/12. So, subtract it from the 13/12.
13/12-12/12=1/12
Now, since you found a whole inside of the fraction you have to add 1 to the whole number.
5+1=6
So, the answer is 6 1/12.
Thanks for the points!
Answer:
9 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
You can use cosine to solve this, which is adjacent over hypotenuse. The ladder forms a triangle with the house, and the side you need to solve for is adjacent to the angle. You can set up the equation:
cos(50)=x/14
Then you multiply 14 by cos(50) and get almost 9 ft (rounding to the nearest tenth of a foot).
