Answer:

Any number less than 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number Lin multiplies by 7/8. So, we have:

(7/8)*x < 7/8

We need to find the possible values for x. Lets start by dividing both sides of our inequality by (7/8) in order to get x alone on the left side.

(7/8)*x / (7/8) < (7/8)/(7/8)

Reordering:

(7/8) / (7/8) * x < (7/8)/(7/8)

As any number divided by itself (except from 0) is equal to 1:

x < 1

So, the number that Lin multiplied by 7/8 MUST be less than 1. This is evident, as any positive number multiplied by a number less than 1 will decrease, doesn't matter if its a negative or positive number.

So, such number is less than 1. Any number less than 1 could be Lin's number.

We'll use standard labeling of right triangle ABC, C=90 degrees, legs a, b, hypotenuse c.

11.

Right triangle, cliff peak A, boat B, angle opposite cliff is B=28.9 deg. adjacent leg a=65.7 m, cliff height is leg b.

tan B = b/a

b = a tan B = 65.7 tan 28.9° = 36.3 m

12.

Similar story, boat at B, opposite b=3.5 m, rope c=12 m

sin B = b/c

B = arcsin b/c = arcsin (3.5/12) = 17.0°

13.

c=124 m, A=58°

sin A = a/c

a = c sin A = 124 sin 58 = 105.2 m

14.

That's a hypotenuse c=4-1.2 = 2.8 m to a height b=1.8m so

cos A = b/c

A = arccos b/c = arccos (1.8/2.8) = 50.0°

15.

Not a right triangle, an isosceles triangle.  Half of it is a right triangle with hypotenuse one arm, c=9.8 cm and angle opposite half the base of B=62/2=31°.  We're after d=2b:

sin B = b/c

b = c sin B

d = 2b = 2 c sin B = 2(9.8) sin 31 = 10.1 cm

Almost equilateral

Find the least common denominator for these fractions. Enter your answer in<br> the space provided.
julsineya [31]

Answer:

5/12

Step-by-step explanation:

1/4 and 1/6 are fractions.

As we directly can't add fractions whenever denominators are different, so we will have to find out the Least common multiple of 4 and 6.

The LCM Of 4&6 will be 12, so we will write 12 instead of 4&6.

Now, 4*3=12, that is why we will have to multiply the numerator and denominator with 3.

1*3/4*3 = 3/12

Same thing applies to 1/6. In order to get 12 in the denominator we need to multiply 2 with numerator and denominator both.

1*2/6*2= 2/12

However, we have two new fractions with same denominator now, that is 3/12 and 2/12

We can directly add the numerators now, as we have the same denominator. So 3+2/12= 5/12 would be my final answer. (addition of like fractions)

5/12
