Hi!

<h3>To divide a fraction, you multiply by the reciprocal of the second fraction. </h3><h3>First, convert the mixed numbers to fractions, by multiplying the denominator by the whole number and adding that to the numerator. </h3>

---------------

2 * 7 = 14

14 + 1 = 15

15/7

---------------

4 * 1 = 4

4 + 1 = 5

5/4

---------------

<u> $\frac{15}{7} * \frac{4}{5} = \frac{60}{35} (simplify) = 1 \frac{5}{7}$ </u>

<h2>The answer is 1 5/7 </h2>

Hope this helps! :)

<span>Answer: option B. She did not set the width of the compass to the radius of the circle.

Explanation:

1) If she sets the compass to an arbitrary width to </span><span>draw the arc to cut the circle, the point obtained will not be to the right distance from the first vertex.

2) All the adjacent vertices on a regular polygon have the same distance one from each other.

3) In the hexagon that distance is the same radius, which you can see becasue you can form six equilateral triangles inside the circle, whose side lengths are the radius.

4) So, she should set the width of the compass to the radius of the circle.

Consider the two vectors A with arrow = 3 î − ĵ and B with arrow = − î − 2 ĵ. (a) Calculate A with arrow + B with arrow 2 Correc

Verdich [7]

Answer:

Let $\vec{A}=3\hat{i}-\hat{j}$ and $\vec{B}=-\hat{i}-2\hat{j}$ .

$\vec{A}+\vec{B}=(3\hat{i}-\hat{j})+(-\hat{i}-2\hat{j})=2\hat{i}-3\hat{j}$

$\vec{A}-\vec{B}=(3\hat{i}-\hat{j})-(-\hat{i}-2\hat{j})=4\hat{i}+\hat{j}$

c) Now we calculate the direction of $\vec{A}+\vec{B}$ and $\vec{A}-\vec{B}$

We calculate the direction of $\vec{A}+\vec{B}$ like this:

$\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{-3}{2})=-56,3^{\circ}$ . Since, $270\leq\theta\leq360$ , then the direction of $\vec{A}+\vec{B}$ is $360^{\circ}-\theta=360^{\circ}-56.3^{\circ}=303.7^{\circ}$ .
