1.You can see through the comparison to a mountain, that the grandpa is y’all and always the ‘looming’ (hovering) over the speaker you can see that the speaker does not speak much around his grandpa, as he is “silent as a stone”
2.These details show that the speaker is impressed by his grandpa and looks up to him the way a stone would look up to a mountain-it shows that he hopes one day he will grow to be like his grandpa
3.the theme of this poem is shown through the way the speaker looks at his grandpa and the shed. The shed needs more than paint because it’s so old, which relates to his grandpa and the theme of growing older
Answer: 17/24
Step-by-step explanation: Notice that 1/8 and 7/12 are unlike fractions. Our first step when adding unlike fractions is to get a common denominator.
The common denominator of 8 and 12 will be the least common multiple of 8 and 12 which is 24. To get a 24 in the denominator of 1/8, we multiply the numerator and the denominator by 3 which gives us 3/24. To get a 24 in the denominator of 7/12, we multiply the numerator and the denominator by 2 which gives us 14/24. Now we're adding like fractions.
3/24 + 14/24
To add like fractions or fractions that have the same denominator, simply add the numerators and keep the original denominator.
So here, if we add the numerators we have 3 + 14 which gives us 17. We put this over our original denominator which is 24. So we have 17/24.
So 1/8 + 7/12 is 17/24.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the width, you have to divide the height and length by the volume
Answer:
The answer is below
Step-by-step explanation:
She decides the width of the board should be atleast 35% of the length.
Solution:
Let x represent the length of the bulletin board and y be the width of the bulletin board. Since there is 100 inches available, hence:
Perimeter = 2(length + width)
100 = 2(x + y)
x + y = 50
Also, since the width is 35% of the area, hence:
y = 35% of x
y = 0.35x
Since:
x + y = 50
x + 0.35x = 50
1.35x = 50
x = 37.04
x ≅ 38 inches to the next whole number
x + y = 50
y = 50 - 38
y = 12 inches
The bulletin board is 38 inches by 12 inches
