If Sheila started with 8 yards of fabric and used 2 1/4 yards, she will have the difference of these two values remaining. Subtract 2 1/4 from 8.
Convert the mixed fraction to an improper fraction. (Multiply its denominator by the whole number and replace the numerator with this new number.)
2 1/4 = 9/4
We now have:
8/1 - 9/4
Multiply 8/1 by 4/4 to get common denominators.
8/1 × 4/4 = 32/4
Now subtract.
32/4 - 9/4 = 23/4 = 5.75
Alternatively, we could have converted the fraction 2 1/4 to decimal form and subtracted it from 8.
2 1/4 = 2.25
8 - 2.25 = 5.75
Answer:
Sheila has 5.75 yards of fabric left.
Answer:
507 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
If each gallon can go 39 miles and the max number of gas it can hold is 13 gallons, then all you have to do is multiply 13 x 39, which equals 507
Answer:
a. -216, 0 real roots
Step-by-step explanation:
The discriminant of ...
ax² + bx + c = 0
is ...
d = b² -4ac
When we put your equation into the standard form shown above, we get ...
7n² +8n +10 = 0
Then we can identify a=7, b=8, c=10. The discriminant is then ...
d = 8² - 4·7·10 = 64 -280 = -216
___
The interpretation of the discriminant is ...
- < 0; no real roots (2 complex roots)
- = 0; one real root (multiplicity 2)
- > 0; 2 real roots
Your discriminant is -216, so there are 0 real roots.
2^4 = 16
3^5 = 243
16 - 243 = -227
Answer:
yes
Step-by-step explanation:
In an isosceles triangle, one perpendicular bisector is also an angle bisector.
