The question is a little vague but I believe the answer would be 16. 16 divided in half is 8. And that is 8 less than 16. < Not the answer for this question.

I didn't understand the question until Maria answered, she is completely right! Sorry for the misunderstanding.

1/2 of x is 2/3 of x minus 8

(1/2)x = (2/3)x -8

clear fraction by multiplying by 6

3x = 4x -48

x = 48

3 3/5 + 9 3/5 answer with a mixed number in simplest form

Romashka [77]

Both fractions have the same denominator so it's going to be easy. First set up your equation:

$3 \frac{3}{5} + 9 \frac{3}{5}$

Add the whole numbers:

$3 + 9 = 12$

Now add the fractions:

$\frac{3}{5} + \frac{3}{5} = \frac{6}{5}$

add both together:

$12 + \frac{6}{5} = 12 \frac{6}{5}$

$\frac{6}{5}$ is an improper fraction so change it:

$12 \frac{6}{5} = 13 \frac{1}{5}$

Since 6 is one more than 5, add 1 to the whole number and subtract the numerator and denominator(6 - 5 = 1) and make the remaining the new numerator. That leaves you with $13 \frac{1}{5}$

Your answer is $13 \frac{1}{5}$

At a school fair, students were challenged to hit one of the small congruent circles on the large rectangular board with a ball.

shtirl [24]

Answer:

~4.7%

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the rectangle: 35*52=1820

Area of 1 small circle: A=πr2=π·32≈28.27433

28.27433*3=84.82299

84.82299/1820=0.04660603846

Therefore, about 4.7%

A flagpole is supported by a wire fastened 60 feet from its base. The wire is longer than the height it reaches on the flagpole.

Answer:

135.5ft

Step-by-step explanation:

THIS COMPLETE THE QUESTION

flagpole is supported by a wire fastened 60 feet from its base. The wire is 14 feet longer than the height it reaches on the flagpole. Find the length of the wire.

Let X be the length of the wire

Let y be the height of the pole

X= Y + 14

Y= X -14

We can form a right angle triangle form this, where X denote the Hypotenose, Y is the Opposite, and 60feet is the Adjacent.(CHECK THE ATTACHMENT FOR THE TRIANGLE)

Using Pythagoras theorem

X²= 60² + Y²

X² = 3600 + Y²

if we subsitute for Y we have

X² = 3600 + (X -14)²

X² = 3600 +X² -14X-14X+196

X²-X²+ 28X= 3600+196

28X= 3796

X= 3796/28

=135.5ft

hence length of the wire is 135.5ft
