Answer:
10 2/15 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
If we have a candle that is 11 2/5 inches tall
It burns 1 1/8 inches per hour. We need to divide to see how long the candle will last
11 2/5 ÷ 1 1/8
I will convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions
11 2/5 = (5*11+2)/5 = 57/5
1 1/8 = (8*1+1)/8 = 9/8
57/5 ÷ 9/8
Copy dot flip
57/5 * 8/9
456/45
Now we change it back to a mixed number
45 goes into 456 10 times with 6 left over
10 6/45
This simplifies to 10 2/15
Answer:
48
Step-by-step explanation:
8(20-14)
8(6)
48
By the polynomial remainder theorem, because <em>x</em> = 2<em>i</em> is a zero of <em>f(x)</em>, we have no remainder upon dividing <em>f(x)</em> by <em>x</em> - 2<em>i</em>.
Computing the quotient yields
Then if the remainder term is 0, follows that <em>a</em> = -12.
