To answer this question, Justin has bought 3/2 yards of the ribbon.
There are two ways you could answer this question. You could add it or subtract it. First, I will teach you the way of adding to get your answer. So, from this sentence, Justin has bought 6 ribbon and each was 1/4 yards long. You could add it by doing 1/4+1/4+1/4+1/4+1/4+1/4. This would give you 6/4, which would be 3/2 yards(simplified). (This could also be 1.5 yards..)
The second way was multiplying. It would look like this: 1/4 times 6. (Now, 6, could be represent as 6/1) Now you do 1 time 6 for your numerator and 1 times 4, which would be your denominator. This would also give you 6/4 or 3/2 (simplified) Hope this works!! :)

The line is parallel to y = 6/7 x - 5

The slope will be same .So equation of the line will be of the form:

$y = \frac{6}{7} x + k \\$

It passes through C(1,5)

$5 = \frac{6}{7} \times 1 + k \\ \\5 = \frac{6}{7} + k \\ \\ k = 5 - \frac{6}{7} \\ \\ k = \frac{7 \times 5 - 6}{7} = \frac{29}{7}$

$line : \red{y = \frac{6}{7} x + \frac{29}{7} } \\$

What is the height of a right triangle with an angle that measures 30 degrees adjacent to a base of 14

stepladder [879]

The height of the right triangle is 8.08

<h3>Calculating the height of a triangle </h3>

From the question, we are to determine the height of the described right triangle

From the given information,

The angle measure is 30 degrees adjacent to the base

and

The base is 14

Using SOH CAH TOA

Adjacent = 14

Opposite = height of the triangle

Let the height the h

∴ Opposite = h

Thus,

tan 30° = h/14

h = 14 × tan 30°

h = 8.08

Hence, the height of the right triangle is 8.08

If the world record for swimming the 50 meter frestyle event was 21.34 seconds.Suppose the athlete swam at a constant rate,what

Arada [10]

Speed = distance/time Which in your case means 50 meters/ 21.34 seconds, which equals 2.343 meters per second.

An account earns simple interest.<br><br> $5200 at 7.36% for 54 months

vovikov84 [41]

A = P(1 +rt) where A is the total amount(principal and interest), r is the rate, and t is the time invested.

A = 5200[1 + .0736(4.5)]
A = 6922.24

note we had to change the rate to a decimal by dividing by 100
Also 54 months is equal to 4.5 years...you enter time in years.

Two solutions of different concentrations of acid are mixed creating 40 mL of a solution that is 32% acid. One-quarter of the so

Georgia [21]

In order to construct this equation, we will use the variables:
V to represent mixture volume (40 ml)
C to represent mixture concentration (0.32)
v₁ to represent volume of first solution (40 / 4 = 10 ml)
c₁ to represent concentration of first solution (0.2)
v₂ to represent the volume of the second solution (40 * 3/4 = 30 ml)
c₂ to represent the concentration of the second solution

We know that the total amount of substance, product of the volume and concentration, in the final solution is equal to the individual amounts in the two given solutions. Thus:
VC = v₁c₁ + v₂c₂
40(0.32) = 10(0.2) + 30c
