For this case we must find the inverse of the following number:

-4

By definition we have that the inverse of a number multiplied by the number gives us 1 as a result.

Let "x" be the inverse of -4, then:

$x (-4) = 1\\-4x = 1\\x = - \frac {1} {4}$

So, the inverse of -4 is $- \frac {1} {4}$

Answer:

$- \frac {1} {4}$

Please help me find the area of shaded region and step by step

Bumek [7]

Answer:

Part 1) $A=60\ ft^2$

Part 2) $A=80\ cm^2$

Part 3) $A=96\ m^2$

Part 4) $A=144\ cm^2$

Part 5) $A=9\ m^2$

Part 6) $A=(49\pi -33)\ in^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) we know that

The shaded region is equal to the area of the complete rectangle minus the area of the interior rectangle

The area of rectangle is equal to

$A=bh$

where

b is the base of rectangle

h is the height of rectangle

$A=(12)(7)-(8)(3)$

$A=84-24$

$A=60\ ft^2$

Part 2) we know that

The shaded region is equal to the area of the complete rectangle minus the area of the interior square

The area of square is equal to

$A=b^2$

where

b is the length side of the square

$A=(12)(8)-(4^2)$

$A=96-16$

$A=80\ cm^2$

Part 3) we know that

The area of the shaded region is equal to the area of four rectangles plus the area of one square

$A=4(4)(5)+(4^2)$

$A=80+16$

$A=96\ m^2$

Part 4) we know that

The shaded region is equal to the area of the complete square minus the area of the interior square

$A=(15^2)-(9^2)$

$A=225-81$

$A=144\ cm^2$

Part 5) we know that

The area of the shaded region is equal to the area of triangle minus the area of rectangle

The area of triangle is equal to

$A=\frac{1}{2}(b)(h)$

where

b is the base of triangle

h is the height of triangle

$A=\frac{1}{2}(6)(7)-(6)(2)$

$A=21-12$

$A=9\ m^2$

Part 6) we know that

The area of the shaded region is equal to the area of the circle minus the area of rectangle

The area of the circle is equal to

$A=\pi r^{2}$

where

r is the radius of the circle

$A=\pi (7^2)-(3)(11)$

$A=(49\pi -33)\ in^2$

A machine paints 34o toy boats im 3/4 of an hour how many boats can he make per hour

leonid [27]

Here, we can set up a proportion:

34 ÷ 3/4 = ? ÷ 1
34*1 = 34
34÷3/4 = the time needed to build one toyboat

34/3/4 = 45.3333333333

45.3 repeating is not a whole number, so we need to approximate.

45 is the closest whole number,

So.. a machine can paint 45 toy boats per hour.

I really hope that helped! :)

calvin and susie baked some cookies in the ratio of 3 : 7. calvin baked 60 fewer cookies than susie. how many cookies did they b

kow [346]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio of cakes baked by Calvin and Susie = 3 : 7

Cakes baked by Calvin = 3x

Cakes baked by Susie = 7x

Cakes baked by Calvin = Cakes baked by Susie - 60

3x = 7x - 60

7x - 60 = 3x

7x = 3x + 60

7x - 3x = 60

4x = 60

x = 60/4

x = 15

Cakes baked by Calvin = 3*15 = 45

Cakes baked by Susie = 7 *15 = 105

Total cakes baked = 45 + 105 = 150

They both baked 150 cakes altogether.
