Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer: 3/6 + 0*(1/4) + 1/3 = 20/24

Discussion:

My first thought was to convert all the number to use a denominator of 24:

3/6 = 12/24 (*)

1/4 = 6/24

1/3 = 8/24 (**)

Note that the sum of (*) and (**) gives 20/24:

3/6 + 1/3 = 12/24 + 8/24 = 20/24.

which is what we want. So what do we do about the 1/4 term? Hmmm... Let's multiply it by zero! Your teacher may not like this but the problem statement doesn't exclude it. Consider this:

3/6 + 0*(1/4) + 1/3 = 20/24

Thank you,

MrB

Eve measured a county park and made a scale drawing. The picnic area, which is 68 yards wide in real life, is 34 inches wide in

mote1985 [20]

Answer:

Eve used scale as 2 yards is equal to 1 inch.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Actual Picnic area = 68 yards.

Drawing Picnic area = 34 inches.

We need to find the scale used by Eve.

Solution:

Now we can say that;

scale used by Eve can be calculated by dividing Actual Picnic area from drawing picnic area.

framing in equation form we get;

scale used by Eve = $\frac{68}{34} = 2\ yd/in$

Hence Eve used scale as 2 yards is equal to 1 inch.

1 revolution = 360 degrees
3/2pi = 1 second
1 revolution = 2pi radius
3/2pi (360/2pi)= 3/2pi (180/pi)=270 degree sec.

Find the area of a compound shape<br><br> Can you please explain

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

$A=292.53~m^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Area of a Compound Shape</u>

The shape shown in the image is made of two shapes: Half a circle of radius 8 m and a triangle of base 24 m and height 16 m.

The area of a circle of radius r is:

$A_c = \pi r^2$

The area of a triangle of base b and height h is:

$\displaystyle A_t=\frac{b.h}{2}$

Calculate the area of the circle:

$A_c = \pi 8^2$

$A_c = 64\pi$

Area of half the circle:

$A_c/2 = 32\pi~m^2$

Area of the triangle:

$\displaystyle A_t=\frac{24\cdot 16}{2}$

$A_t=192~m^2$

The area of the shaded shape is:

$A=32\pi~m^2+192~m^2$

Substituting the value of pi:

$\mathbf{A=292.53~m^2}$
