6 inches 
6 1/14 inches  
Since area is defined as length multiplied by width, this is a simple matter of division. I suspect this problem is more a matter of handling fractions, so to make things easier, convert the fractions to improper fractions in order to do the math, then convert to proper fractions after you've gotten the result. Since the area of each rectangle is 12 3/4, multiply 12 by 4 and then add 3 to get 51/4 as the area. Doing the same for the values 2 1/8 and 2 1/10 gives sizes of 17/8 and 21/10 for the widths respectively. So 
 51/4 / 17/8 = 51/4 * 8/17 = 408/68 = 6/1 = 6 
 51/4 / 21/10 = 51/4 * 10/21 = 510/84 = 85/14 = 6 1/14

Bacteria vary somewhat in size, but a diameter of 1.5 μ m is not unusual.
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

a) 1.8 × 10^-12 cm³ or 1.8 × 10^-12 cubic meters

b) 7.1 × 10^-6 mm² or 7.1 × 10^-6 square millimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

a) We are assuming that the shape of the bacteria is a sphere.

Hence, Volume of the Sphere(Bacteria) = 4/3 × π × r³

Diameter = 1.5 μm

Radius = Diameter/2 = 1.5μm/2

= 0.75μm

We are told that the volume should be in cubic centimeters

Converting 0.75μm to centimeters

1 μm = 1 × 10^-4 cm

0.75 μm =

Cross Multiply

= 0.75 μm × 1 × 10^-4 cm/ 1 μm

= 0.000075cm

Volume of the Sphere(Bacteria) = 4/3 × π × r³

= 4/3 × π × (0.000075)³

= 1.767145867 × 10^-12 cm³

Approximately as 2 significant figures = 1.8 × 10^-12 cm³

b) The formula for the Surface area of a Sphere = 4πr²

Diameter = 1.5 μm

Radius = Diameter/2 = 1.5μm/2

= 0.75μm

We are told that the surface area should be in square millimeters

Converting 0.75μm to millimeters

1 μm = 0.001 mm

0.75 μm =

Cross Multiply

= 0.75 μm ×0.001mm/ 1 μm

= 0.00075mm

Surface Area of a Sphere

= 4 × π × r²

= 4 × π × 0.00075²

= 7.06858 ×10^-6 mm²

Approximately to 2 significant figures

= 7.1 × 10^-6 mm²

If triangle DEF is an isosceles triangle with DE is congruent to EF, find x and the measure of each side
Rudik [331]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

DE = 8x - 13

EF = 5x + 17

DF = x + 21

Also,

DE = EF

which means that,

8x - 13 = 5x + 17

8x - 5x = 17 + 13

3x = 30

x = 30/3

x = 10

Now,

DE = 8x - 13 = 8×10 - 13 = 80 - 13 = 67cm

EF = 5x + 17 = 5×10 + 17 = 50 + 17 = 67cm

DF = x + 21 = 10 + 21 = 31cm

Victoria is 4 years older than her neighbor. the sum of their ages is no more than 14 years.enter an inequality that can be used
elena55 [62]
V is 4 more tha x
v=4+x
sum is no more than 14
v+x≤14

sub 4+x for v
4+x+x≤14
4+2x≤14
minus 4 both sides
2x≤10
divide both sides by 2
x≤5
5+4=9

the neighboor's age is at most, 5 years
and victoria is 9 at most

Recall that rational numbers are numbers that can be represented as the ratio, or fraction, of two integers. When expressed as d
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

1)  \frac{5}{-14}=0.3571428571 2) Terminating

Step-by-step explanation:

1st. To answer this question let's divide with long division algorithm  5 and -14.

  <u> 0.3571428571</u>

-14)50

    42

     ---

     80

     -70

      --

    100

      98

      ---

     20

     14

    ----

      60

      -56

       ---

      40

       28

      --

     120

    -112

     ----

       80

       70

       --

      100

       -98

      --  

       2

5 (dividend) : -14 (divisor) \frac{5}{-14}

Long division (check below)

With the same two numbers -14 and 5 we can write in a Long Division

 

5) -14

<u>   - 2.8</u>

5) -14

    10

   40

So \frac{-14}{5}=-2.8

2nd. Both are terminating ones for they have finite quantities of numbers. -2.8 and 0.3571428571, as we can see that these are rational numbers for they can be written as a/b, and b≠ 0.

\frac{5}{-14} form.

\frac{-14}{5} form.
