Answer:  C. 11/15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The fraction of stores inventory is children's clothing=\dfrac{1}{3}

The fraction of stores inventory is women's clothing=\dfrac{2}{5}

Since both events are independent.

Therefore, the fraction of the total inventory is children's or women's clothing =  (Fraction of stores inventory is children's clothing ) + (Fraction of stores inventory is women's clothing )

=\dfrac{1}{3}+\dfrac{2}{5}=\dfrac{5+2(3)}{15}

=\dfrac{11}{15}

∴ The fraction of the total inventory is children's or women's clothing =\dfrac{11}{15}

Hence, the correct answer is C. 11/15 .

The area of a circular table cloth is 1,384.74 inches square. Using 3.14 for LaTeX: \pi
leonid [27]

Answer:

radius = 21

circumference = 138.88

Step-by-step explanation:

First divide the area by 3.14, this equal 441

441 is your radius squared.

Then you have to find the root of 441 which is 21.

radius = 21

diameter = twice the radius or 2 * radius

diameter = 21 * 2 = 42

diameter = 42

Then plug 42 in your circumference formula.

Which is then C = 3.14(42).

Which means the circumference is 131.88.

What is the surface area of the right prism given below?
posledela

Answer: Option D.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can calculate the surface area of this right prism by adding the area of its faces.

You can observe that the faces of the right prism are:  Three different rectangles and two equal triangles.

The formula for calculate the  area of a rectangle is:

A=lw

 Where "l" is the lenght and "w" is the width.

The formula for calculate the  area of a triangle is:

A=\frac{bh}{2}

Where "b" is the base and "h" is the height.

You can observe that the hypotenuse of the each triangle is the width of one of the larger rectangle, then , you can find its value with the Pythagorean Theorem:

a=\sqrt{b^2+c^2}

Where "a" is the hypotenuse and "b" and "c" are the legs of the triangle.

Then, this is:

a=\sqrt{(8units)^2+(15units)^2}=17units

Therefore, you can add the areas of the faces to find the surface area of the right prism (Since the triangles are equal, you can multiply the area of one of them by 2). This is:

SA=(10units)(8units)+(15units)(10units)+(17units)(10units)+2(\frac{(15units)(8units)}{2})\\\\SA=520units^2

sdas [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, it is given that, A rectangle with a short side of 6. An arrow points to a smaller rectangle with a short side of 1.5 .

The shorter side of first rectangle is of measurement 6 units and of second rectangle, is of size 1.5units .

To find the scale factor, we have to do division of the shorter sides of the first and second rectangle, that is

So the scale factor is 0.25 .
