Answer:
The shorter side piece of fabric = x = 8 feet
The longer side piece of fabrics = (x + 2) = 10 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Total yards of fabrics = 6 yards
you need to cut it in two pieces where one is two feet longer than the other.
First piece= x feet
Second piece= x+2 feet
Convert 6 yards to feet
6 yards = 18 feet
First piece + second piece = total piece of fabrics
x + (x+2) = 18
x + x + 2 = 18
2x + 2 = 18
2x = 18 - 2
2x = 16
Divide both sides by 2
x = 16 / 2
x = 8 feet
8 feet = 2.66667 yards
x + 2
= 8 + 2
= 10 feet
10 feet = 3.33333 yards
The shorter side piece of fabric = x = 8 feet
The longer side piece of fabrics = (x + 2) = 10 feet
Answer:
A. 4 2/3 hours
B. (i) 9 4/5 hours
(ii) 1 19/30
Step-by-step explanation:
Firstly, to find the number of hours he used in visiting old folks, what we have to do is to multiply the fraction of hours he used by the total number of hours.
Mathematically, that would be;
4/7 * 8 1/6
8 1/6 is same as 49/6
So the number of hours he spent visiting old folks would be ;
49/6 * 4/7 = 14/3 = 4 2/3 hours
B. What we do here is simply multiply the fraction now by what he spent last year.
That would be 1 1/5 * 8 1/6 hours
= 6/5 * 49/6 = 49/5 = 9 4/5 hours
ii) Now we want to know how much more time will be spent this year than last year.
What to do here simply is to subtract the time taken last year from what we have this year
That would be;
49/5 - 49/6 = 49/30 = 1 19/30
Answer:
x ≠ - 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
f(x) = 
The denominator of f(x) cannot be zero as this would make f(x) undefined.
Equating the denominator to zero and solving gives the value that x cannot be.
solve : x + 5 = 0 ⇒ x = - 5 ← excluded value
