Answer: -5+8 because the difference (-) of -5 and 8 is 8 - (- 5) which can also be expressed as -5+8. All that matters is that 5 stays negative and 8 stays positive.

Answer
24 quarts of green paint should be mixed with 4 cups of black paint.
That is (96 cups)
Step by step explanation
Jasper Green mix 4 quarts of green paint with 2/3 cups of black paint.
Let's convert 4 quarts into cups.
1 quart = 4 cups
4 quarts = 16 cups
Here mix 16 cups of green paint with 2/3 cups of black paint.
Let's use the proportion
Green paint Black paint
16 2/3
x 4
16/x =2/3 divided by 4
Cross multiplying, we get
16*4 = 2/3 x
64 = 2/3 x
x = 64/(2/3)
x = 64 * 3/2
x = 192/2
x = 96 cups
96 cups of green paint should be mixed with 4 cups of black paint.
We can covert 96 cups into quarts by dividing by 4
96/4 = 24 quarts
24 quarts of green paint should be mixed with 4 cups of black paint.
Thank you.
The volume of a square pyramid is (1/3)(area of base)(height of pyramid).
Here the area of the base is (10 ft)^2 = 100 ft^2.
13 ft is the height of one of the triangular sides, but not the height of the pyramid. To find the latter, draw another triangle whose upper vertex is connected to the middle of one of the four equal sides of the base by a diagonal of length 13 ft. That "middle" is 5 units straight down from the upper vertex. Thus, you have a triangle with known hypotenuse (13 ft) and known opposite side 5 feet (half of 10 ft). What is the height of the pyramid?
To find this, use the Pyth. Thm.: (5 ft)^2 + y^2 = (13 ft)^2. y = 12 ft.
Then the vol. of the pyramid is (1/3)(area of base)(height of pyramid) =
(1/3)(100 ft^2)(12 ft) = 400 ft^3 (answer)
2.5 is your answer because first we divide the numbers then subtract 2 from both sides and simplify
