You can compare them mentally! A fraction ia divided into 2 parts, however a decimal is not! Also the strategies you have to use are different. When finding the product/sum/quotient of a fraction you need to find a common denominator. But, with a decimal all you need to do is place the decimals correctly!
Answer:
1000 in
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
The dimension of the small cube is 1\ in.1 in.
No of the cubes is 10^6106
If the small cubes are arranged on the floor
The area of the cubes is
\Rightarrow 10^6\times 1^2\ in.^2⇒106×12 in.2
The answer is actually choice A
---------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------
If we add up the equations straight down we will have 0a+2b = 6
Note how adding the 'a' terms gives us 3a + (-3a) = 3a-3a = 0a. The 0a term is really 0 since 0 times anything is 0. So the 'a' terms will go away
The equation 0a+2b = 6 turns into 0+2b = 6 and that simplifies to 2b = 6
To isolate b, we divide both sides by 2
2b = 6
2b/2 = 6/2
b = 3
We can stop here since only one answer choice has b = 3, which is choice A. However, let's keep going to find the value of 'a'
Plug b = 3 into any equation with 'a' and 'b', then solve for 'a'
3a+4b = 9
3a+4*3 = 9
3a+12 = 9
3a+12-12 = 9-12
3a = -3
3a/3 = -3/3
a = -1
So a = -1 and b = 3 pair up to form (a,b) = (-1,3)
--------------------------------------
To check, plug this ordered pair back into both equations
Equation 1:
3a+4b = 9
3*(-1)+4*3 = 9
-3+12 = 9
9 = 9
Equation 1 has been checked out
Equation 2:
-3a-2b = -3
-3(-1)-2(3) = -3
3 - 6 = -3
-3 = -3
this is true as well
So this confirms that the final answer is choice A
Answer:
1.5 bags
Step-by-step explanation:
Width = 1 yard = 3 feet
Length = 5 feet
Square feet(area) of the floor = 5ft × 3ft = 15sqft
1 bag = 10sqft
x bag = 15sqft
x bags = (15 × 1)/10 = 1.5 bags
Therefore the probability that the angle measure are supplementary are:120,60
