Answer:

9 full pieces.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this we have to divide the total feets of wood that Jessie has, by the size of the pieces that Jessie needs:

$\frac{8}{\frac{7}{8} }\\\frac{\frac{8}{1} }{\frac{7}{8} }\\\frac{8*8}{7*1}\\\frac{64}{7} =9.14$

Since Jessie will be able to cut 9.14 pieces of wood, he will have only 9 full pieces, so the total amount of pieces that he would be able to cut will be 9.

8 / (7/8) =
8 * 8/7 =
64/7 =
9.14.....so he can cut 9 full pieces

Please help me, I don’t know how to solve for x on this one

Brums [2.3K]

Use trigonometry to solve for x.

The tangent function is defined to be opposite side divided by the adjacent side.

tan(78) = x/10

tan(78)(10) = x

47.0463010948 = x

We now round off to two decimal places. In other words, we round off to the nearest tenths.

47.05 = x

Done!

A tree casts a shadow 27 m long. At the same time, the shadow cast by a 66-cm tall statue is 56 cm long. Find the height of the

Nata [24]

$\frac{height _{1} }{shadow_{1}} = \frac{height _{2} }{shadow_{2}}$

$\frac{height _{1} }{27m} = \frac{66cm}{56cm}$

$\frac{height _{1} }{2700cm} = \frac{66cm}{56cm}$

$2700*66=56*h _{1}$

$178200=56h _{1}$

$3182.1cm=h _{1}$

$\frac{3182.1cm}{1000cm} = 3.2m$

$height:3.2m$

4 1/3 - 1 2/3 how to solve this please

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

$2\frac{2}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Convert $4\frac{1}{3}$ to improper fraction. Use this rule: $a\frac{b}{c} =\frac{ac+b}{c}$ .

$\frac{4\times3+1}{3} -1\frac{2}{3}$

2) Simplify 4 * 3 to 12.

$\frac{12+1}{3}$

3) Simplify 12 + 1 to 13.

$\frac{13}{3} -1\frac{2}{3}$

4) Convert $1\frac{2}{3}$ to improper fraction. Use this rule: $a\frac{b}{c} =\frac{ac+b}{c}$ .

$\frac{13}{3} -\frac{1\times3+2}{3}$

5) Simplify 1 * 3 to 3.

$\frac{13}{3} -\frac{3+2}{3}$

6) Simplify 3 + 2 to 5.

$\frac{13}{3} -\frac{5}{3}$

7) Join the denominators.

$\frac{13-5}{3}$

8) Simplify.

$\frac{8}{3}$

9) Convert to mixed fraction.

$2\frac{2}{3}$
