Answer:

The estimate is reasonable.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jamie's estimate seems reasonable.

We can see that there is (-24/27) in the bracket, first of all there is negative sign so there will be negative sign in the answer. Moreover, 24 is near to half of 27 so fraction will result in -0.5XXXXX and multiplying it with 1.4 will increase it around -0.75.

We can solve the given fraction for confirmation,

So,

$= 1.43 * (\frac{-24}{47} )\\=1.43*(-0.5106)\\=-0.7302$

which is near to -0.75 so the estimate of Jamie was right ..

Which choice best satisfies the formula for the area of a square whose sides are s inches long?

klasskru [66]

The area of the square whose sides is s inches long will be given by:
Area=length×width
Length=s inches
width=s inches
thus:
the area of the squares will be:
Area=s×s=s² sq. inches

Thus the correct answer is:
area=s² sq. in

4m/5-2m/3=1 solve the equation

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

m = 7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

4m/5 - 2m/3 =1

We want to get rid of the fractions so multiply each side by 5*3 or 15

15 *(4m/5 - 2m/3 ) =1*15

15 *(4m/5) -15( 2m/3 ) =1*15

Canceling like factors

3* 4m -5*2m = 15

Multiply

12m - 10m = 15

2m = 15

Divide each side by 2

2m/2 = 15/2

m = 7.5

The perimeter of an isosceles trapezoid is 28 in and the ratio of lengths of its bases is 5:3. Find the lengths of the sides of

Natalka [10]

The measurements are:
b₁ = 8.4 inches; b₂ = 14 inches; leg₁ = 2.8 inches; leg₂ = 2.8 inches

Let x = length of base and leg

The formula for perimeter of isosceles trapezoid is P = b₁ + b₂ + 2(leg)
Where: b = base

   P = b₁ + b₂ + 2(leg)
   28 = 3x + 5x + 2(x)
   28 = 8x + 2x
28/10 = 10x/10
2.8 = x

Now, substitute the values:
     P = b₁ + b₂ + 2(leg)
   28 = 3(2.8) + 5(2.8) + 2(2.8)
28 = 8.4 + 14 + 5.6
28 = 28

Hence the measurements are:
b₁ = 8.4 inches; b₂ = 14 inches; leg₁ = 2.8 inches; leg₂ = 2.8 inches
