Answer:
"and"
Step-by-step explanation:
Properly written, the word "and" separates the integer portion from the fractional portion of the number. If there is no "and", then there is no integer portion, so the number is a fraction less than 1.
<u>Examples</u>:
one <em>and</em> three tenths = 1 3/10
thirty-one thousandths = 31/1000
Answer:
3500 tons
Step-by-step explanation:
The Greenpoint factory produced 2/5 of the bricks that the Consolidate Brick Company produced in 1991.
Let the amount of bricks produced by the Greenpoint factory be g and the amount of bricks produced by the Consolidated brick company be c.
Therefore:
g = 2/5 * c = 2c/5
That year, the Greenpoint factory produced 1400 tons of bricks. This implies that:
1400 = 2c/5
To find the amount that the Consolidated Brick Company produced, solve for c:
1400 = 2c/5
1400 * 5 = 2c
7000 = 2c
c = 7000 / 2 = 3500 tons
The Consolidated Brick Company had a total production output of 3500 tons in 1991.
Answer:
h = 4.5 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a trapezoid is given by
A = 1/2 (b1+b2) h
We know A b1 and b2
20.25 = 1/2 (5+4)*h
20.25 = 9/2 h
Multiply each side by 2/9 to isolate h
2/9 * 20.25 = 2/9 *9/2 h
4.5 =h
Description: They didn't distribute the 3 to both x and 5, so they just had 3x+5.
actual problem:
3(x+5)=3x+15
3x+15=3x+15
subtract 3x from both sides and end up with
15=15
Correct Answer: 15=15
