Answer:
h = 6 units
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for the volume of a tetrahedron is given as :
V = sh
Where
s is area of base and h is height
Put s = 8 and V = 48 to find h as follows :

So, the height of the tetrahedron is 6 units.
Our current equation is:
-8r -31 = -3(5r -6)
To solve for this, we need to get r on one side of the equation and then simplify if needed.
On the right side of the equation, we have a pending Distributive Property, which is when you multiply the number/variable outside of the parenthesis by all numbers/variables in the parenthesis.
Let's simplify this Distributive Property to help understand our equation better.
-3(5r -6)
Multiply -3 by each number/variable separately (unless they are already being multiplied, like 2x, 1/2x, etc).
-3(5r) + -3(-6).
-3(5r) = -15r
-3(-6) = 18 (both negatives need to be in parenthesis to keep a product as negative, and if you do not multiply them in that way, you will end up with a positive product).
Your equation now is:
-8r -31 = -15r + 18
Add 15r to both sides to get r on one side.
7r -31 = 18 is now our current equation.
Add 31 to both sides to get 7r by itself.
7r = 49 is now our equation.
r is still being multiplied by 7, so we need to do the opposite of multiplying by 7.
Divide both sides by 7.
r = 7.
I hope this helps!

Answer:
5/48, 5/46, 5/44, 5/42
Step-by-step explanation:
We can choose unit fractions with denominators between 8 and 10, separated by (10-8)/5 = 0.4 units:
1/8.4 = 5/42
1/8.8 = 5/44
1/9.2 = 5/46
1/9.6 = 5/48
__
<em>Check</em>
- 1/8 = 0.125
- 5/42 ≈ 0.119
- 5/44 ≈ 0.114
- 5/46 ≈ 0.109
- 5/48 ≈ 0.104
- 1/10 = 0.100
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
There are an infinite number of such fractions. We are given unit fractions with different denominators, so it works reasonably well to choose denominators between those given. Then the trick is to convert the fraction to a ratio of integers. In this case, multiplying by (5/5) does the trick.

Another approach is to write the fractions with a common denominator, then choose numerators between the ones given. For example, 1/10 = 4/40, and 1/8 = 5/40, so you could write some fractions with numerators between 4 and 5. Possibilities are 4.1/40 = 41/400, 4.3/40 = 43/400, 4.7/40 = 47/400, 4.9/40 = 49/400.
