Hello!

Since you have a board that is 8 and 1/4 feet long, the easy way to calculate how many 1/2 feet are on 8 feet is two multiply 8 x 2, since there are two halves of a foot, in one foot (because two halves equal one whole). Now this may sound confusing but we can double check.
   _________
   |       |          As we can see here, there are two rows, each with 8 halves.
  V      V          So now we multiply 8 x 2 and get 16.
1/2 + 1/2 = 1
1/2 + 1/2 = 1
1/2 + 1/2 = 1
1/2 + 1/2 = 1
1/2 + 1/2 = 1      
1/2 + 1/2 = 1
1/2 + 1/2 = 1
1/2 + 1/2 = 1
                  ^-- Now if you add all of these, it's 8, proving that you can do 8 x 2

Yes, you may be asking, "What about the 1/4?" Don't worry about it! Questions like this try to trick you into making it more complicated, it asks how many halves are in 8 and 1/4, but 1/4 isn't enough to make a half so we leave it alone.

Which statement is correct?
Arisa [49]

Answer:

2.06 \times 10^-^2 = 206

1.88 \times 10^-^1 = 18.8

206 \times 18.8 = 3,872.8

7.69 \times 10^-^2 = 769

2.3 \times 10^-^5  = 230,000

=\frac{769}{230000}

= 0.00334

therefore,

3,872.80 > 0.00334

Step-by-step explanation:

Which statement is correct?

(2.06x102x1.88 x 10-1) <7.69x 10

2.3x10-5

(2.06 x 10-2)(1.88 x 10-1) 7.69x 10-

2.3x10-5

7.69 x 10"

(2.06 x 10-2x1.88x10-)>

2.3x10-5

(2.06x 10-2X(1.88x 10-1)-7.69x104

2.3x10-5

Given that;

2.06 \times 10^-^2 = 206

1.88 \times 10^-^1 = 18.8

206 \times 18.8 = 3,872.8

7.69 \times 10^-^2 = 769

2.3 \times 10^-^5  = 230,000

=\frac{769}{230000}

= 0.00334

therefore,

3,872.80 > 0.00334

Three plus the sum of the squares of w and x is 32
Roman55 [17]
The statement is an equation which is written in text form or in words. when we write it as an equation it will be:
squares of w and x is equal to w² and x² so, their sum means they are going to add.
3 + (w² + x²) = 32
three plus the sum of w² and x² is 32.
when we describe or write quantity with an equal sign it makes an equation.

Can somebody help me please! And explain I appreciate it!!!
True [87]

Answer:

54 beads

Step-by-step explanation:

1 hexagon = 6

2 hexagons = 10

3 hexagons = 14

Based on the pattern shown above +4 you can create an equation from this to help support finding the amount.

y = 4x + 6

y - total amount

4x - amount that is added by

6 - initial amount for 1 hexagon

Based on this you plug in 12 into x and you will find the answer:

y = 4(12) + 6

= 48 + 6

= 54

If you need to check the work honestly drawing it out, but this equation can also be supported based on the 3rd diagram of hexagon, where the initial is 6 and then 4 are added each time afterwards!!!
