Answer:
1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
7x4= 28
8x7= 56
simplify: 28/56=1/2
Answer:
Length = 12 inches, height = 3 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you have to set up a proportion. 2/7, x/42.
Then, you cross multiply and get the setup of 84=7x
Finally, you divide 84 by 7 and get 12.
12 is the length, and there is no other answer that has 12 in the height. You could just do the same proportion to get 3, though.
The weight seems like most accurate to me, even thought you didn't show me what type of measurement he took.
First plug in the numbers 5 x 8 = 40
40-4y+6x8=48
40-4y+48
The rule for the product of similar bases with exponents:
(a^b)(a^c)=a^(b+c)
(-5*6)(a^1)(a^8)
(-30)(a^(1+8))
-30a^9
