Answer:
New length is 3 3/20 ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
The total board is 2 5/8 feet long. And since 5/6 of a foot is trimmed off, that means each piece of wood is 5/6 feet.
We can now set up an equation like this ---> 5/6 ⋅ x = 2 5/8
Now we're going to simplify ---> 5/6 ⋅ x = 2 5/8
5/6 ⋅ x = 21/8
(multiply both sides by 6)
5x = 63/4
(divide both sides by 5)
x = 63/20
x= 3.15
So, the new length is 3.15 feet long, or 3 3/20 in mixed fraction.

Answer:
(6.2, 4.5)
Step-by-step explanation:
We want, for some point P, ...
(P -A) / (B -P) = 1 / 3
3(P -A) = (B - P) . . . . . multiply by 3
4P = B +3A . . . . . . . . add P+3A
P = (B +3A)/4 . . . . . . .divide by 4
Filling in the coordinate values, we can find P to be ...
P = ((2.3, 5.4) +3(7.5, 4.2))/4 = (2.3+22.5, 5.4+12.6)/4
P = (6.2, 4.5)
1/2 ( -3/2 + 6x + 1) - 3x
Simplify:
= 1/2 (-1/2 + 6x) - 3x
Apply distributive property:
= -1/4 + 3x -3 x
Simplify:
= -1/4
Cos 70 = horizontal distance /
100 horizontal distance = 100 cos 70 = 32.2feet
