\frac{3}{4} of the candy is not m&m's.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total pieces of candy = 140

Number of m&m's = 35

Fraction = \frac{Number\ of\ m&m}{Total\ pieces\ of\ candy}

Fraction = \frac{35}{140}

Both 35 and 140 are multiples of 7, therefore,

Fraction of m&m's = \frac{5}{20} = \frac{1}{4}

As the number of m&m's fraction and not m&m's fraction will make a total of 1, therefore

fraction of m&m's + fraction of not m&m's = 1

fraction of not m&m's = 1 - fraction of m&m's

fraction of not m&m's = 1-\frac{1}{4}=\frac{4-1}{4}

fraction of not m&m's = \frac{3}{4}

\frac{3}{4} of the candy is not m&m's.

How do I Rewrite the function by completing the square x^2+8x-29
Flura [38]

Answer:

  (x +4)^2 -45

Step-by-step explanation:

The square of a binomial has the form ...

  (x +a)^2 = x^2 +2ax +a^2

That is, the constant term (a^2) is the square of half the coefficient of the linear term: (2a/2)^2 = a^2.

To "complete the square", you add 0 in the form of the desired constant added to its opposite. Here, we want the constant for the square to be (8/2)^2 = 16. So, we can add 0 = 16 -16 to the expression:

  x^2 +8x +16 -29 -16

  (x^2 +8x +16) -45 . . . . group the terms that make the square

  (x +4)^2 -45 . . . . rewritten after completing the square

1/8 is greater because say you have 1/8 of a pizza you will get a bigger piece but if you had 5/7 it will be be 5 tiny pieces. so 1/8 is greater than 5/7

What is the surface area of the cylinder with height 5 mi and radius 6 mi? Round your answer to the nearest thousandth.
Delicious77 [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

h = 5 mi

r = 6 mi

Surface Area of Cylinder =

2\pi \: rh + 2\pi {r}^{2}  \\  = 2\pi(6)(5) + 2\pi ({6}^{2})  \\   = 2\pi(30) + 2\pi(36) \\  = 60\pi + 72\pi \\  = 132\pi \\  = 414.690 {mi}^{2} (nearest \: thousandth)
