X = 8/15
6x - 1/5 = 3/1
6x - 1/5 = 3
6x = 3 + 1/5
6x = 15 + 1 over 5
6x = 16/5
x = 16/30
Then, you simplify.
x = 8/15

6x - 1/5 = 3/1...u want to get rid of the fractions...multiply everything by the common denominator which is 5

giving u :
30x - 1 = 15....add 1 to both sides
30x = 15 + 1
30x = 16...divide both sides by 30
x = 16/30 which reduces to 8/15

The length of one leg of a right triangle is 24 feet and the length of the hypotenuse is 40 ft what is the length of the other l

Rama09 [41]

To solve for the other leg, you need to use Pythagorean theory.

The theory states that C^2 = A^2 + B^2

In your case, you have to solve for B.
C = 40 (hypotenuse) A = 24 (leg 1)

The formula rewritten for B is $b= \sqrt{c^{2}-a^{2} }$

Now, you can solve.

$b= \sqrt{c^{2}-a^{2} }

b= \sqrt{40^{2}-24^2 }

b = \sqrt{1600 - 576}

b = \sqrt{1024}

b = 32$

Therefore, B = 32.

So the second leg is 32 feet.

A pie was cut into two equal pieces. Each of the pieces of pie was cut into halves again, and each of those smaller pieces was c

Verdich [7]

3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

If you cut a whole pie into two you get two (2) ½ pieces

1 ÷ 2 = ½

When you cut the two ½ pieces into two you get four (4) ¼ pieces;

½ ÷ 2 = ¼

When you cut the four ¼ pieces into two you get 8 1/8 pieces;

¼ ÷ 2 = ¹/8

Therefore the whole pie at this point is made up of 8 ¹/8 pieces. When two (2) of these pieces are eaten we are left with 6 ¹/8 pieces;

8 – 2 = 6

The portion of the pie left therefore is;

6 * ¹/8 pieces

= ⁶/8

= ³/4

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

2.5 = 2 5/10 = 250%

40% = .40 = 40/100 = 4/10 =2/5

220% = 220/100 = 2 20/100 = 2 2/10 = 2 1/5

1/4 = 25/100 = 25%

4% = 4/100 = .04
