The new length of the string is  (13 + 1/4) feet, then the correct option is the last one (counting from the top)

<h3> What is the new length of the string?</h3>

We know that the current string was (8 + 3/4) feet in length. Then they add another piece that measures 4.5 feet.

The new length of the string is given by the addition of the above two lengths, we will get:

L = (8 + 3/4) feet + 4.5 feet

We can rewrite the second length as a mixed number:

4.5 = 4 + 1/2 = 4 + 2/4

Replacing that we get:

L = (8 + 3/4) ft + 4.5 ft

  =  (8 + 3/4) ft + (4 + 2/4) ft

  = (8 + 4) ft + (3/4 + 2/4) ft

  = 12ft + 5/4ft = 12ft + (4/4 + 1/4)ft = (13 + 1/4)ft

The new length of the string is  (13 + 1/4) feet, then the correct option is the last one (counting from the top).

Nataly [62]
Hi there! To solve this, all we have to do is multiply each side by 2.2 to cancel out the variable and to find the value for it. 5.8 * 2.2 is 12.76. 12.76/2.2 is 5.8. x = 12.76. The answer is D.

Answer:

The first digit of the quotient should be placed at the leftmost place of the places of the all the digits in the quotient.This is so from the basic rule of division.

Step-by-step explanation:

The quotient is given by,

[\frac {4,839}{15}] [where [x] is the greatest integer function on x]

= [322.6]

= 322

and the remainder is given by,

15 \times 0.6

= 9

So, the first digit of the quotient should be placed at the leftmost place of the places of the all the digits in the quotient and this is so from the very basic rule of division.
