OK for this question you need to find out how many more post are needed. If you look at the diagram it shows that one side is 50 feet. Now there are two sides that will need post, because the barn side need no more. Now if there are two side both 50 feet, and you need a post every ten feet. How many posts are needed?
Yes, 3/4 is bigger than 3/5.
One way you can verify this is by drawing a bar model, and cut it into four. Color in three pieces.
Then, draw another bar model the same size as the first one, and cut it into five pieces.
Color in three pieces.
You can see that 3/4 has more shaded in area than 3/5.
Another way you can do this is by dividing the numerator by the denominator for both fractions.
Hope this helped.
Answer:
x=6
Step-by-step explanation:
Remember, the formula for area is the length times the width. So, if we know the width is 3, and we know the total area is 24, all we need to do is divide 24 by 3 to get 8. 8 is the split up side, the one that is x + 2. To find x, simply subtract 2 from 8. 8 - 2=6.
24/3=8
8-2=6
Assuming we're dealing with 
, which is the same as writing (x+2)/(-5) < 4, then the answer is choice C.
We multiply both sides by -5 and this will flip the inequality sign.
-------------------------------------
Multiplying or dividing both sides by a negative number flips the inequality sign.
An example would be saying -2x < 10 leads to x > -5
What we can do is divide both sides by -2 and flip the inequality sign, or we could follow the steps shown below
- -2x < 10
- 0 < 10+2x ... adding 2x to both sides
- -10 < 2x ... subtracting 10 from both sides; this is one way to see why the sign flip happens
- 2x > -10
- x > -10/2 ..... dividing both sides by 2
- x > -5
As stated in (i), the equation of the line is: ln y = -0.015x + .26
(By the way, I checked your answers for parts (i) and (ii) and they are both correct)
(iii)
Plug in (1.1) for y and solve:
ln (1.1) = -0.015x + .26
0.095 = -0.015x + .26
-0.165 = - 0.015x
10.979 = x
Answer: x = 10.979
