Explain the different ways that you can use multiplication to estimate and solve division problems

1 answer:

4 0

Well one way that you can use multiplication to estimate and solve division problems is that when you are dividing a smaller number or any number into another number for example... 12/324 you can multiply what times 12 equals 324. That or use a calculator if it is aloud I may add. Sometimes it is easier to do it that way then doing out all the horrible long steps making it harder to do.

From an 8- foot board, a carpenter sawed off one piece that was 2 3/4 feet long and another piece that was 3 1/2 feet long. How

alexdok [17]

Answer:

1 3/4 or 1.75

Step-by-step explanation:

An easy way to do this is to convert to decimals

1/4 = 0.25

2/4 = 0.5

3/4 = 0.75

Now, for the numbers for this problem.

2 3/4 would be equal to 2.75

3 1/2 would be equal to 3.5

Add those two numbers together and you get 6.25

Subtract that from 8 and you get 1.75 or 1 3/4

Solve the system of equations and choose the correct answer from the list of options.

Igoryamba

Answer:

x = -6/5

y = -8/5

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + y = -4

Y = 3x + 2

Substitute the second equation into the first equation

2x + 3x+2 = -4

Combine like terms

5x +2 = -4

Subtract 2 from each side

5x+2-2=-4-2

5x = -6

Divide by 5

5x/5 = -6/5

x = -6/5

Now we need to find y

y = 3x+2

y = 3(-6/5)+2

y = -18/5 + 10/5

y = -8/5

EFGH is a parallelogram. Find the measure of FG.

Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

FG = 47

Step-by-step explanation:

The opposite sides of a parallelogram are parallel and congruent, thus

EH = FG, that is

5z - 18 = 3z + 8 ( subtract 3z from both sides )

2z - 18 = 8 ( add 18 to both sides )

2z = 26 ( divide both sides by 2 )

z = 13

Hence

FG = 3z + 8 = (3 × 13) + 8 = 39 + 8 = 47

400.0 ml of a gas are under pressure of 80.0 kpa what would the volume of the gas be at a pressure of 100.0 kpa

Ber [7]

Answer:

The final volume is 320 mL at pressure of 100 kPa.

Step-by-step explanation:

Boyle's law gives the relation between volume and pressure of a gas. It states that at constant temperature, volume is inversely proportional to its pressure such that,

$V\propto \dfrac{1}{P}\\\\P_1V_1=P_2V_2$

Let

$V_1=40\ mL\\\\P_1=80\ kPa\\\\P_2=100\ kPa$

We need to find $V_2$ . Using above equation, we get :

$V_2=\dfrac{P_1V_1}{P_2}\\\\V_2=\dfrac{400\times 80\times 10^3}{100\times 10^3}\\\\V_2=320\ mL$

So, the final volume is 320 mL at pressure of 100 kPa.
