Answer:

The first carpenter has done 25/56 more of the fence than the second carpenter.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, convert the fractions to an equal base:

4/7 * 8/8 = 32/56

1/8 * 7/7 = 7/56

The first carpenter did 32/56 of the work so far, and the second one has done 7/56.

To find the difference, subtract the number of the second carpenter from the first.

32/56 - 7/56 = 25/56

Which option has the greater slope
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

A. Y=3x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

Y=mx+c

m - slope coefficient of x

and so you can easily find the slope if you are asked directly like this seen in option A.

the picture has a value of X2=-3 , X1=3 & Y1=3 Y2= 1

m = Y2 - Y1 / X2 - X1 = 1-3/-3-3 = -2/-6 = 1/3.

as you can now see, the slope from the pic which is 1/3 is less than that of option A.

Answer:

840 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Cut the prism into two cuboids.

The first cuboid has dimensions of 4 cm × 6 cm × 5 cm

The height is 4 cm, the width is 5 cm and the length is 6 cm.

The second cuboid has dimensions of 15 cm × 6 cm × 8 cm.

The height is 8 cm, the width is 6 cm and the length is 15 cm.

The formula for the volume of the cuboid is l×w×h.

Length × Width × Height

The first cuboid has a volume of:

4 cm × 6 cm × 5 cm

= 120 cm³

The second cuboid has a volume of:

15 cm × 6 cm × 8 cm

= 720 cm³

Add the volumes of the two cuboids.

720 cm³ + 120 cm³

= 840 cm³

The volume of the prism is 840 cm³.

Find the surface area of the prism.
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

920 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

area of triangles: base x height / 2 (2)

8 x 15 / 2

= 60 x 2

= 120

area of rectangular base: length x width

15 x 20 = 300

area of sloped rectangle: length x width

17 x 20 = 340

area of rectangle: length x width

8 x 20 = 160

Total: 120 + 300 + 340 + 160

=920 ft^2

What is the product of (2x^2+5x-3) and (3x+7)
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

6x^3+29x^2+26x-21

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to use distributive property and multiply each term of the binomial "3x+7" (that is 3x, and 7) by each term of the trinomial "2x^2+5x-3" taking care of their appropriate signs, and then combine like terms until there is no more than one term for each power of "x". It is also customary to order the final terms in descending order of power of "x".

Let's start by multiplying as indicated above:

(2x^2+5x-3)*(3x+7)=\\=2x^2\,*\,3x+2x^2\,*\,7\,+5x*3x+5x*7-3*3x-3*7=\\=6x^3+14x^2+15x^2+35x-9x-21=\\=6x^3+[14x^2+15x^2]+[35x-9x]-21=\\=6x^3+29x^2+26x-21
