Given that the size of the buttons are:
1/8 inch, 3/8 inch and 1/4 inch
To compare the lengths we first convert the fractions into decimals for easy comparison.
To convert fractions into decimals we divide the numerator by the denominator:
1/8=0.125
3/8=0.375
1/3=0.25
from the above decimals we can see that 0.125 is the smallest and hence we conclude that the smallest button is 1/8 inches. The largest button is 3/8 inches.

german

Answer: 77\ biscuits

Step-by-step explanation:

For this exercise you need to find the Least Common Multiple (LCM).

The steps two find the Least Common Multiple are shown below:

1. Descompose the numbers into their prime factors.

2. Multiply the commons an non commons with the highest exponent. The product obtained will be the Least Common Multiple.

Knowing this, you can find the Least Common Multiple between 7 and 11. This is:

7=7\\11=11\\\\LCM=7*11\\\\LCM=77

Therefore the smallest number of biscuits each must have baked is:  77\ biscuits

If a 20-foot ladder makes a 65° angle with the ground, how many feet up a wall will it reach? Round your answer to the nearest t
zysi [14]

We have an angle, a hypotenuse - the ladder length - and we're looking for the opposite side......the sine seems the way to go, here.....

sin 65 = opp / 20   multiply both sides by 20

20 sin 65 = opp = about 18.13 ft up the wall

Help please, I need it

Answer:

  2)  c)  (x-3)² + (y+2)² = 25

  5)  x^2 +y^2 -8x -16y +54 = 0

  6)  x^2 +y^2 -10x -12y +36 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

2) The standard form equation for a circle is ...

  (x -h)^2 +(y -k)^2 = r^2

You are given the center: (h, k) = (3, -2) and a point on the circle. So, the equation will be ...

  (x -3)^2 +(y +2)^2 = r^2

Since we know a point on the circle we know that ...

  (7 -3)^2 +(1 +2)^2 = r^2 = 16 +9 = 25

So, the circle's equation is ...

  (x -3)^2 +(y +2)^2 = 25 . . . . . matches choice C

__

5) As in the previous problem, the standard form equation is ...

  (x -4)^2 +(y -8)^2 = (-1-4)^2 +(7-8)^2 = 25+1 = 26

To put this in general form, we need to subtract 26 and eliminate parentheses.

  x^2 -8x +16 +y^2 -16y +64 -26 = 0

  x^2 +y^2 -8x -16y +54 = 0

__

6) A circle tangent to the y-axis will have a radius equal to the x-value of the center point.

  (x -5)^2 +(y -6)^2 = 5^2

  x^2 -10x +25 +y^2 -12y +36 = 25

  x^2 +y^2 -10x -12y +36 = 0

Given PQRS is a square, solve for x.
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

x = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

The angles in a square are right , that is 90°

The diagonals bisect the angles , then

6x - 21 = 45 ( add 21 to both sides )

6x = 66 ( divide both sides by 6 )

x = 11
