We can simplify across between the 5 and the 50 and also between the 42 and the 3.

To find the area of the walk in Marcus's bedroom, we have to use the formula: A = b * h. However, to multiply these two values, we should first transform them into improper fractions.

8 2/5 : 8 * 5 = 40 + 2 = 42/5

16 2/3 : 16 * 3 = 48 + 2 = 50/3

Now, we can begin to solve the problem.

Area of Wall = base * height

Area = (50/3) * (42/5)

Now, we simply multiply the fractions.

Area = 140 square feet

However, this value represents the area of a whole wall of Marcus's room. To find the area of the 1/2 of the wall that he plans to paint blue, we must multiply this value by 1/2.

140 * 0.5 = 70 square feet


Therefore, Marcus is going to paint 70 square feet of the wall blue.

the pencil and the laptop computer are both tools that help writers accomplish their tasks. Follow the clues below to find the y
BartSMP [9]
What you do is divide the sum by 2. You will come out with and answer of 1891. Now, to figure out the years they were invented you take the difference of 192 and divide that in half also. It will come out to 96. Now, you subtract 1891 by 96 and that is the year the pencil was invented (1795=pencil) now with the other half (1891) you add on 96 and you’ll come out with the answer of 1987.

Pencil=1795
Laptop computer=1987.

Hope this helped!

For the function y = -2+5sin(pi/12(x-2)), what is the maximum value?
myrzilka [38]
To get the function y = <span>-2+5sin(pi/12(x-2)), the maximum value can be determined by differentiating the function and equating it to zero. The value of x will give the maximum value of the function.
dy/dx = 5 cos (pi/12 (x-2)) (pi/12)
dy/dx = 5 pi/12 cos(pi/12 (x-2))

Equate to zero</span>:
<span>5 pi/12 cos(pi/12 (x-2)) =0
pi/12 (x-2) = 3pi/2
x = 8

Substituting,
y= -2 + 5sin( pi/12 (8-2)
y = -1.86

John is 3 years older than Susan and khalid is 5 years younger than her . The sum of their ages is 40 .
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

John is 17,

Susan is 14,

and Khalid is 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

a = John's age

b = Susan's age

c = Khalid's age

Let's set our rules from the given information.

a = b + 3

c = b - 5

a + b + c = 40

Now, we can solve for b through substitution.

(b + 3) + b + (b - 5) = 40

3b - 2 = 40

3b = 42

b = 14

So, now that we have Susan's age, we can follow the rules and see if it holds.

17 + 14 + 9 = 40 Viola!
