Answer:

180 plants

Step-by-step explanation:

the area of a right triangle is: ab/2

side a = 8

side b = 15

8 x 15 = 120

120/2 = 60

Michael wants 3 plants for every square yard (multiply by 3)

60 x 3 = 180

Points P and Q belong to segment AB . If AB = a, AP = 2PQ = 2QB, find the distance: midpoints between AP QB

Digiron [165]

Answer: The distace between midpoints of AP and QB is $\frac{a}{8}$ .

Step-by-step explanation: Points P and Q are between points A and B and the segment AB measures a, then:

AP + PQ + QB = a

According to the question, AP = 2 PQ = 2QB, so:

PQ = $\frac{AP}{2}$

QB = $\frac{AP}{2}$

Substituing:

AP + 2*( $\frac{AP}{2}$ ) = a

2AP = a

AP = $\frac{a}{2}$

Since the distance is between midpoints of AP and QB:

2QB = AP

QB = $\frac{AP}{2}$

QB = $\frac{a}{2}*\frac{1}{2}$

QB = $\frac{a}{4}$

MIdpoint is the point that divides the segment in half, so:

<u>Midpoint of AP</u>:

$\frac{AP}{2} = \frac{a}{2}*\frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{AP}{2} = \frac{a}{4}$

<u>Midpoint of QB</u>:

$\frac{QB}{2} = \frac{a}{4}*\frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{QB}{2} = \frac{a}{8}$

The distance is:

d = $\frac{a}{4} - \frac{a}{8}$

d = $\frac{a}{8}$

6 1⁄3 + 7 1⁄4 – 2 1⁄2 =

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

11 1/12

Step-by-step explanation:

6 1/3 = 19/3

7 1/4 = 29/4

2 1/2 = 5/2

19/3 + 29/4 - 5/2

We must find the LCM of 3, 4, and 2. This happens to be 12

3*4 = 12

4*3 = 12

2*6 = 12

Multiply each fraction by the factor that'll get it to 12.

19/3 * 4/4 = 76/12

29/4 * 3/3 = 87/12

5/2 * 6/6 = 30/12

Now go through the problem

76/12 + 87/12 - 30/12

76 + 87 = 163

163/12 - 30/12

163 - 30 = 133

133/12

Simplify

133/12 = 11.0833... or 11 1/12

Hope this helps.
