Given:
Area of sample board: 1/3 square ft.
Weight of sample board: 1/5 lbs

We need to get the weight of the whole square foot.

1/3 square foot is only a part of the whole square foot. Its corresponding weight is 1/5 pounds. We need to divide the area by its corresponding weight to get the total weight per square foot.

1/3 ÷ 1/5 

Rules of dividing fractions:
1st fraction: 1/3 ; 2nd fraction: 1/5

1) Get the reciprocal of the 2nd fraction. 1/5 ⇒ 5/1

2) Multiply 1st fraction to the reciprocal of the 2nd fraction
1/3 * 5/1 = 5/3

3) Simplify fraction.
5/3 is an improper fraction. To simplify it, it needs to become a mixed fraction.

5/3 = 1 2/3 pounds.

If X^2= 3+2√2 what is the value of √x+1/√x
Nikolay [14]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let √x - 1/√x = a

Squaring both the sides,

x + 1/x - 2 = a^2

Putting the value,

3–2√2 + 1/(3–2√2) - 2 = a^2

a^2 = 1 - 2√2 + 1/(3–2√2)

= [(3–2√2) (1–2√2) + 1] / 3–2√2

= {3 - 8√2 + 9} / 3–2√2

= [12 - 8√2] / 3–2√2

Rationalising both the sides

= {(12 - 8√2)(3+2√2)} ÷ (9–8)

= 36 + 24√2 - 24√2 + 16(2)

= 36 - 32

=> 4

a^2 = 4

a = √4

a = 2, -2

So,

√x - 1/√x = a = 2, -2.

Write a expression that can be used to multiply 6x198
nydimaria [60]

In this problem, we are asked to give an expression that can be used to mentally multiply 6 and 198. In order not to go through the rigorous multiplication, we can estimate 198 to 200, that is 6 *200 equal to 1200. Since there is a 2*6 excess or 12 then we subtract: 1200 -12 equal to 1188.

There are 4 Board of Directors positions open. 2 will be for men, 2 will be for women.
laiz [17]

Answer:

1980 total outcomes are possible.

Step-by-step explanation:

The order in which the candidates are chosen is not important. So we use the combinations formula to solve this question.

Combinations formula:

C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

How many total outcomes are possible?

2 men, from a set of 11.

2 women, from a set of 9.

So

T = C_{11,2}*C_{9,2} = \frac{11!}{2!9!}*\frac{9!}{2!7!} = 1980

1980 total outcomes are possible.
