1/10 of an ounce is the answer
Answer:
-2 5/9
Step-by-step explanation:
w + (-x) - 2/3
Let w = -5/9 and x = 4/3
-5/9 - 4/3 - 2/3
Get a common denominator
-5/9 -4/3*3/3 -2/3*3/3
-5/9 -12/9 -6/9
Add
-23/9
Change to a mixed number
-2 5/9
Step-by-step explanation:
can't really use the Pythagorean because you don't know this is a right triangle.
use the fact that they are similar
so
3/6 = x/12 where x is FE
cross multiply
6x = 36 therefore FE = 6
then 6/12 = y/9 where y is FD
cross multiply
12y = 54 = 54/12 therefore FD = 4.5
