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).

At a restaurant you only have 20 dollars to spend on dinner. in addition to the cost of the meal you must pay only 5% sales tax
aev [14]
Alright so to do this you need some basic algebra
you have to pay an extra 20% of whatever you buy
thus we can make the following equation
.2x+x=20  (since 20 is the amount of money you have)
combining the like terms,
1.2x=20
and finally, dividing both sides by 1.2
x=$16.67
don't forget to check!
.05*16.67=.83 (sales tax makes the total $17.5)
.15*16.67=2.5 (tip makes the total $20)
whaddya you know, it works!
most expensive item you can buy will cost $16.67
hope this helped!

Area of big triangle 7x5=35/2

but there's two big triangle so 35/2 x 2 =35

area of small triangle 5x4=20/2 10

10 x 2 =20. And then combine 20+35=55

So the area is 55 sq meters.

aniked [119]

Well if I did the right calculations... Kim is 24. The sister is age twelve! Hope I helped.

A. K+S=36

B. Well Simple Addition and Subtraction solves this easily. If you Add 12+12 it equals 24. It still needs to be larger so that Kim is twice as old as her little sister. So you Add another 12 which gives you 36. Or you can easily subtract 12 from it and that will also bring you to 24.
