<h2>The diagonal is increasing at 1.8 cm/minute.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let l be one side,w be other side and s be diagonal.

We have

             s² = l² + w²

We have

          l = 8 cm

          w = 6 cm

           s² = l² + w²  

           s² = 8² + 6²

           s² = 100

           s = 10 cm

Taking derivative with respect to time in s² = l² + w²

           s^2=l^2+w^2\\\\2s\frac{ds}{dt}=2l\frac{dl}{dt}+2w\frac{dw}{dt}\\\\s\frac{ds}{dt}=l\frac{dl}{dt}+w\frac{dw}{dt}\\\\\frac{dw}{dt}=3cm/min\\\\\frac{dl}{dt}=0cm/min\\\\10\frac{ds}{dt}=8\times 0+6\times 3\\\\\frac{ds}{dt}=1.8cm/min

The diagonal is increasing at 1.8 cm/minute.

Best has knitted 5/8 of the scarf she is making has she needed more than one half of the scarf can't find the equivalent fractio
BabaBlast [244]
To compare 5/8 and 1/2, you will need to create fractions that have the same denominator. 1/2 is the same as 4/8.

5/8 is greater than 4/8, so she had knitted more than 1/2.

Express 240 as a product of prime factors.
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

240 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 or 2^4x3x5

Step-by-step explanation:

               240

              /      \

            2      120                     (240 = 2 x 120)

                   /      \

                 2       60                 (120 = 2 x 60)

                        /      \

                      2       30            (60 = 30 x 2)

                             /      \

                           2       15       (30 = 2 x 15)

                                  /      \

                                3        5
