Answer:

9/a

Step-by-step explanation:

8/a - 6/a + 7/a

Since the denominators are the same, we can add the numerators

8-6+7 =9

Then put it over the common denominator a

9/a

Write any fraction that is less than 1/8

kotegsom [21]

<span>Sample answers are 1/9, 1/10, etc.

Explanation:
To write a fraction less than 1/8, you can keep the numerator 1 and make the denominator any number greater than 8. 1/8 is the same as one part out of 8. Imagine having many pizzas the same size, but cut into different numbers of pieces. 1 piece out of 8 would be a bigger piece than 1 piece out of 9, out of 10, or anything more than 8.</span>

What two numbers multiply to -126 and add up to -65

Airida [17]

Xy = -126
x + y = -65

$xy = -126$
$\frac{xy}{x} = \frac{-126}{x}$
$y = \frac{-126}{x}$

$x + y = -65$
$x + \frac{-126}{x} = -65$
$\frac{x^{2}}{x} + \frac{-126}{x} = -65$
$\frac{x^{2} - 126}{x} = -65$
$-65x = x^{2} - 126$
$0 = x^{2} + 65x - 126$
$x = \frac{-(65) \+ \sqrt{(65)^{2} - 4(1)(-126)}}{2(1)}$
$x = \frac{-65 \± \sqrt{4225 + 504}}{2}$
$x = \frac{-65 \± \sqrt{4729}}{2}$
$x = \frac{-65 \± 68.8}{2}$
$x = \frac{-65 + 68.8}{2}$ $or$ $x = \frac{-65 - 68.8}{2}$
$x = \frac{3.8}{2}$ $or$ $x = \frac{-133.8}{2}$
$x = 1.9$ $or$ $x = -66.9$

x + y = -65
  1.9 + y = -65
- 1.9   - 1.9
y = -66.9
  (x, y) = (1.9, -66.9)

or

  x + y = -65
  -66.9 + y = -65
+ 66.9 + 66.9
y = 1.9
  (x, y) = (-66.9, 1.9)

The two numbers that add up to -65 and can multiply to -126 are the numbers -66.9 and 1.9.

If two solids are similar and the ratio between the lengths of their edges is 2;7 what is the ratio of their volumes?

Art [367]

Answer:

8 : 343

Step-by-step explanation:

Given 2 similar figures

ratio of sides = a : b, then

ratio of volumes = a³ : b³

Here the ratio of edges = 2 : 7, hence

ratio of volumes = 2³ : 7³ = 8 : 343

baherus [9]

The length of the base is 8
area=56
height= 14
A=1/2 bh
56=1/2 b(14)
56=b(14)/2
8=b
