Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(-3)÷(-2/5)

KFC method

Keep the first number, Flip the second number & Change division to multiplication

(-3)*\frac{-5}{2}=\frac{15}{2}

=7\frac{1}{2}\\

Count the number of negative sign.

If number of negative sign is even, then the result will be a positive number

Here 2 negative sign. So result will be an positive number

Answer:

15/2 or 7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

-3÷ (-2/5)

The reciprocal of -2/5 is -5/2

So we multiply -3 into the reciprocal of the fraction and we can get the same answer

Therefore,

-3÷(-2/5)

= -3x -5/2

= (-5x-3)/2

(Two negatives become a positive)

= 15/2 in fraction form

And 7.5 in decimal form

If I = prt; p = 350, r = 6%, I = 42, then t = 2 A. True B. False
Liono4ka [1.6K]

t = 2 → A true

given I = PRT

to find T , divide both sides by PR

note that R = 6% = \frac{6}{100} = 0.06

T = \frac{I}{PR} = 42/( 350 × 0.06 ) = 2

A new bridge structure requires triangles that are in a ratio of 1:1. If AC = 2x + 10 and EC = 4x − 18, find the distance betwee
gavmur [86]

Answer:  The required distance between the top and bottom of the bridge is 76 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that a new bridge structure requires triangles that are in a ratio of 1:1.

AC = 2x + 10 and EC = 4x − 18.

We are to find the distance between the top and bottom of the bridge, in feet.

Since the two triangles ACB and DCE are in the ratio 1 : 1, so their corresponding sides are also in the ratio 1 : 1.

The sides AC and EC are corresponding to each other, so we must have

AC:EC=1:1\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{AC}{EC}=\dfrac{1}{1}\\\\\Rightarrow AC=EC\\\\\Rightarrow 2x+10=4x-18\\\\\Rightarrow 4x-2x=10+18\\\\\Rightarrow 2x=28\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{28}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow x=14.

Therefore, the distance between the top and bottom of the bridge is

EA\\\\=EC+AC\\\\=4x-18+2x+10\\\\=6x-8=6\times14-8\\\\=84-8\\\\=76~\textup{feet}.

Thus, the required distance between the top and bottom of the bridge is 76 feet.
