Answer: They can fit 9 thick books into the bookshelf

Step-by-step explanation: So I like putting fractions into decimals.

1 3/5 = 1.6 and 14 1/2 = 14.5

I got .6 because 1/5 is 20%, 2/5 is 40%, (3/5 is 60%), and it keeps going.

Now that we have that all we have to do is 14.5 divided by 1.6

14.5 divided by 1.6 = 9.06

Hope this helps!

If the parallelogram floor needs a base of 16 feet,what will the height of the floor be

nydimaria [60]

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>The question is incomplete because the area of the parallelogram is missing. However, the following will guide you in answering the question</em>

Given

$Base = 16\ ft$

Required

Determine the Height

Area of a Parallelogram is:

$Area = Base * Height$

Make Height the subject

$Height = \frac{Area}{Base}$

Substitute 16 for Base

$Height = \frac{Area}{16}$

This implies that you divide the value of area by 16 to get the height of the parallelogram.

Take for instance;

$Area = 64ft\²$

The height would be

$Height = \frac{64}{16}$

$Height = 4\ ft$

$Area = 80ft\²$

The height would be

$Height = \frac{80}{16}$

$Height = 5\ ft$

What is the change from -9 to -1?.

jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

Positive 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Since they're both negative numbers and it went from -9 to -1, you had to have added a positive number to get a lesser negative number. To put it simply, if you were to subtract 8 from 9, you'd get 1.

Write the first six terms of the sequence.

butalik [34]

Step-by-step explanation:

1st term = -n²+6

= -(1)²+6

= -1+6

2nd term = -(2)²+6

= -4+6 = 2

3rd term= -(3)²+6

=-9+6 = -3

4th term= -(4)²+6

= -16+6 = -10

5th term = -(5)²+6 = -25+6 = -19

6th term = -(6)²+6 = -36+6 = -30

5,2, -3,-10,-19, -30
