Brenden Read 3/4 of a book that was 7/8 inches thick. How much of the book, in inches, did he read?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Firdavs [7]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

To find how much 3/4 of a number is, multiply 3.4 by the number. Since the book is 7/8 inches thick, Brenden read 3/4 * 7/8.

To multiply fractions, multiply straight across numerator and denominator.

3/4 * 7/8 = 3*7/ 4*8 = 21/32

Find the value of p and q
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

The answer to your question is p =  27.7      q = 29

Step-by-step explanation:

Process

1.- Calculate the value of all the angles of the triangle

The angle of 50° and the one to the right are supplementary

                                   x + 50 = 180

                                   x = 130°

- The sum of the internal angles in a triangle equals 180°

                     30° + y + 130° = 180

                              y = 180 - 130 - 30

                              y = 180 - 160

                              y = 20°

- The angle of the right triangle

                     50 + 90 + z = 180

                              z = 180 - 90 - 50

                              z = 40°

If sum up the superior angles 20 + 40 = 60°, then the biggest triangle is a 30-60-90

2.- Calculate q using the trigonometric function tangent

                        tan Ф = q / 55

solve for q

                        q = 55 tan 30

                         q = 28.9 ≈ 29

3.-  Calculate the hypotenuse of the biggest triangle

                       h² = 55² + 29²

                       h² = 3866

                       h = 62,12

4.- Use law of sines to find p

                     \frac{p}{sin 20} = \frac{62.12}{sin 130}

solve for p

                       p = \frac{62.12 sin 20}{sin 130}

                       p = 27.74

Describe the rule for the sequence 2, 1, 2/3, 1/2, 2/5, 1/3, 1/7,...
Triss [41]

Multiply 2 by 1/2 to get 1.

Multiply 1 by 2/3 to get 2/3.

Multiply 2/3 by 3/4 to get 6/12 = 1/2.

Multiply 1/2 by 4/5 to get 4/10 = 2/5.

Multiply 2/5 by 5/6 to get 10/30 = 1/3.

Multiply 1/3 by 6/7 to get 6/21 = 2/7. (I suspect there's a typo in the question.)

And so on, so that the <em>n</em>th term in the sequence is multiplied by <em>n</em>/(<em>n</em> + 1) to get the (<em>n</em> + 1)th term.

Recursively, the sequence is given by

\begin{cases}a_1=2\\a_n=\dfrac{n-1}na_{n-1}&\text{for }n>1\end{cases}

We can solve this exactly by iterating:

a_n=\dfrac{n-1}na_{n-1}=\dfrac{n-1}n\dfrac{n-2}na_{n-1}=\dfrac{n-1}n\dfrac{n-2}{n-1}\dfrac{n-3}{n-2}a_{n-3}=\cdots

and so on down to

a_n=\dfrac{(n-1)\cdot(n-2)\cdot(n-3)\cdot\cdots\cdot3\cdot2\cdot1}{n\cdot(n-1)\cdot(n-2)\cdot\cdots\cdot4\cdot3\cdot2}a_1

or

a_n=\dfrac{(n-1)!}{n!}a_1

and with lots of cancellation, we end up with

a_n=\dfrac{a_1}n=\boxed{\dfrac2n}

Please solve! Thx! 6 = 20 - 3x
kumpel [21]

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

6=20-3x

combine

6-20=-3x

-14 = -3x

divide by -3

-14/-3 = -3x/-3

x = 4.666 repeatedly

x = 5 approximately

A recipe uses 5 cups of milk to make 25 servings. If the same amount of milk is used for each serving, how many servings can be
Wittaler [7]
2 or 2.4 because 3 quarts is 12 cups. Now if you want to make while servings you can make 2 whole servings. But for the usage of all cups you would make 2.4 servings

12/3=2.4
