Answer:

2

5

\dfrac{4}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given 2 fractional numbers:

1.\ \dfrac{2}4\\2.\ \dfrac{5}8

We have to use fraction strips to compare to the fractional numbers.

Let we are Comparing \frac{2}{4} with the length of x number of \frac{1}4 sections.

i.e.

\dfrac{2}{4}  = x \times \dfrac{1}{4}\\\Rightarrow x = \dfrac{2 \times 4}{4}\\\Rightarrow x = 2

Let we are Comparing \frac{5}{8} with the length of y number of \frac{1}8 sections.

i.e.

\dfrac{5}{8}  = y \times \dfrac{1}{8}\\\Rightarrow y = \dfrac{5 \times 8}{8}\\\Rightarrow y = 5

Now, let us have a look at 3rd part of question:

The sections of 2/4 is _____ the length of 5/8. Therefore, 2/4 < 5/8

Let the answer be z.

So, the equation becomes:

\dfrac{2}{4} = z \times \dfrac{5}{8}\\\Rightarrow z = \dfrac{2 \times 8}{4 \times 5}\\\Rightarrow z = \dfrac{2 \times 2}{5}\\\Rightarrow z = \dfrac{4}{5}

So, the answers are:

2

5

\dfrac{4}{5}

Heather is making a blanket for her baby and is going to put a ribbon border around it. The blanket will be 3 feet by 5 feet. Th
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

The approximate total cost for the blanket is $10.08 ⇒ B

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of the area of a rectangle is A = L × W

The formula of the perimeter of a rectangle is P = 2(L + W)

where:

  • L is the length of the rectangle
  • W is the width of the rectangle

∵ The baby blanket shaped a rectangle

∵ The dimensions of the blanket are 3 feet and 5 feet

- Find the area of the blanket

∵ A = 3 × 5 = 15 feet²

- Change feet to yard because the cost is by square yard

∵ 1 foot = \frac{1}{3} yard

∴ 1 foot² = (\frac{1}{3})^{2}=\frac{1}{9} yard²

∴ 15 feet² = 15 × (\frac{1}{9}) = \frac{5}{3} yards²

∴ The area of the blanket is  \frac{5}{3} yards²

∵ The fabric cost of the blanket is $1.25 per square yard

∴ The fabric cost =  \frac{5}{3} × 1.25

∴ The fabric cost = 2.08333 dollars

∵ Heather is going to put a ribbon border around it

- The length of the ribbon is equal to the perimeter of the blanket

∵ P = 2(3 + 5) = 16 feet

∴ The length of the ribbon is 16 feet

∵ The cost of the ribbon is $0.5 per foot

∴ The cost of the ribbon = 16 × 0.5

∴ The cost of the ribbon = 8 dollars

Now add the fabric cost to the ribbon cost to find the total cost of the blanket

∵ The total cost = 2.08333 + 8

∴ The total cost = 10.08333

- Round it to the nearest cent

∴ The total cost = 10.08 dollars

The approximate total cost for the blanket is $10.08

If d(x) = x2 - 7x - 7, find d(x - 1).​
satela [25.4K]

Answer: x^2-9x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2-7x-7 d(x-1)

(you would just replace x to (x-1)

(x-1)^2-7(x-1)-7

(solve by square rooting (x-1)(x-1) then foil)

x^2-9x+1

Please answer asap it's summer homework <br><br> Find the surface area of the prism.
Basile [38]
1. Area of triangle
1/2(10)(12)=60
There are two triangles, so multiply by 2
=120

2. Find area of the rectangles
This is an isosceles triangle, so the two rectangles are congruent
(2)(13)(3)=78

3. Find area of bottom rectangle
10(3)= 30

4. Add everything up
120+ 78 + 30= 228

Therefore the surface area of this prism is 228

I hope i helped :)

12345 [234]

Answer:

y= 1/4 x +7

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope intercept form of a line is

y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

the slope is 1/4 and the y intercept is 7

y= 1/4 x +7
