The <em><u>correct answer</u></em> is:

They had no placeholding zero.

Explanation:

Our numbering system is one of few known to have a numeral for zero. Mayans did; however, theirs never traveled the world. Babylonians were thought to have a mark for nothing, but it was more for punctuation than numerals. Neither the Romans nor the Egyptians had a number for 0 either.

Zero is key to our system of numbering, as it helps us hold place as well as representing nothing. Without it, it is easier to represent problems in words.

tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

He should buy lights that are 2088 inches long

Step-by-step explanation:

Craig has a rectangle wooden deck that measures 799 inches by 245 inches.

Let us say the length, L, is 799 inches and the breadth, B, is 245 inches.

He wants to put a string of lights around the deck.

This means that he needs to buy the length of lights that would be equal to the perimeter of the rectangular deck.

The perimeter of a rectangle is given as:

P = 2(L + B)

Hence, the length of lights he should buy is:

P = 2(799 + 245) = 2(1044)

P = 2088 inches

He should buy lights that are 2088 inches long.

What is the perimeter of a rectangular garden with a width of 24 feet and a diagonal of 40 feet?
elena55 [62]
Drawing it out, as seen, using the Pythagorean theorem we get that w^2+l^2 (with w=width and l=length)=diagonal^2=24^2+l^2=40^2. Subtracting 24^2 from both sides, we get 40^2-24^2=l^2=1024. Square rooting both sides, we get l=32. Since the perimeter is 2w+2l, we get 32*2+24*2=64+48=112

Cooper earned $228.00 at his job when he worked for 10 hours. How much money did he earn each hour?
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

Cooper made $22.80 per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Cooper made a total of $228.00 within 10 hours, the money he made each hour is equivalent to the rate of change. That means that in order to get the amount of money made in one hour, you must first turn the ten hours into one using division. Since you divided ten into one using division, you divide the $228.00 by ten using division.

228 divided by 10 is 22.8, therefore Cooper is making $22.80 per hour.
