Answer:

=8 1/4 as a fraction or 8.25 in decimal form.

Step-by-step explanation:

The indicated operation is the product of the two fractions. Multiplication opens the brackets.

(-11/2)×(-3/2)

=(-11×-3)/(2×2)

=33/4

The negative signs before each term cancel out in multiplication and division.

=33/4 =8 1/4= 8.25

Choose 1 answer among the improper fraction, Mixed fraction or the decimal.

A park has a length to width ratio of 7:4 and the perimeter of the park is 880 meters. What are the length and width of the park

Schach [20]

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio of length to width = 7 : 4

length = 7x

width = 4x

7x + 4x = 11x

length = 880

$880 + 4x = 11x$

$880 = 11x - 4x$

$880 = 7x$

$\frac{880}{7} = x$

$125.71 = x$

width = 4x

= 4(125.71)

= 502.85

Find the exact values of a) sec of theta b)tan of theta if cos of theta= -4/5 and sin<0

Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

Using trigonometric ratio:

$\sec \theta = \frac{1}{\cos \theta}$

$\tan \theta = \frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta}$

From the given statement:

$\cos \theta = -\frac{4}{5}$ and sin < 0

⇒ $\theta$ lies in the 3rd quadrant.

then;

$\sec \theta = \frac{1}{-\frac{4}{5}} = -\frac{5}{4}$

Using trigonometry identities:

$\sin \theta = \pm \sqrt{1-\cos^2 \theta}$

Substitute the given values we have;

$\sin \theta = \pm\sqrt{1-(\frac{-4}{5})^2 } =\pm\sqrt{1-\frac{16}{25}} =\pm\sqrt{\frac{25-16}{25}} =\pm \sqrt{\frac{9}{25} } = \pm\frac{3}{5}$

Since, sin < 0

⇒ $\sin \theta = -\frac{3}{5}$

now, find $\tan \theta$ :

$\tan \theta = \frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta}$

Substitute the given values we have;

$\tan \theta = \frac{-\frac{3}{5} }{-\frac{4}{5} } = \frac{3}{5}\times \frac{5}{4} = \frac{3}{4}$

Therefore, the exact value of:

(a)

$\sec \theta =-\frac{5}{4}$

(b)

$\tan \theta= \frac{3}{4}$

can anyone help tech me how to solve for tax and tip. im going to 6th grade and trying to get into the advanced group but I don'

baherus [9]

If something isn't clear or you're still confused about, let me know in the comments.

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, here's my best try.

Suppose you have a bill for $8.45

If you are asked to add, say, 8% tax, you must calculate 8 percent of 8.45 and then add it to 8.45.

Begin by converting 8% to decimals by dividing by 100.

$\frac{8}{100}=0.08$ 8% is 0.08 in decimal form.

To calculate a percentage of a number, you multiply the decimal percent by the number; example:

$0.08(8.45)$ 8.45 is being multiplied by 0.08. The result is: 0.676. (this is the tax; however you have to round up to two decimal places: $0.68)

After finding the tax amount, if you are asked to add it to the bill, you have to add it to the original bill; in this case, $8.45

This would be: 0.68+8.45=9.13.

Therefore, the total bill after tax is for $9.13

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

With tips is the same thing, however, you can have 2 situations.

Situation 1: You are asked to calculate 15% tip of total bill.

In this situation, you can do the same we do to calculate tax.

Convert the percentage to decimal by dividing by 100.

$\frac{15}{100}=0.15$

and multiply it by the original bill.

$0.15(8.45)=1.2675$ . Rounding up, this would be $1.27 for tip.

If you were to add it to the original bill, simply sum.

$8.45+1.27=9.72$

The total bill after tips is for $9.72

Situation 2: You are asked to calculate 15% tip of the total bill with a tax of 8% included.

In this situation, you must first calculate the total bill with the tax added, like we did above; we got a bill for $9.13 (Tax included)

Then you can calculate 15% tip of this new bill that has tax included.

Convert

$\frac{15}{100}=0.15$

Multiply by the new bill (because this is the one that includes tax)

$0.15(9.13)=1.3695$ Round up.... $1.37 for tips.

If you are asked to give a total amount of money including tax and tips, add this to the bill.

9.13+1.37=10.50

This bill would be for $10.50
