1/10th of the room

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

Given that one room needs 7 rolls of wire.

We need to find how much will 7/10 of 1 roll will do

Step 2:

7 rolls of wire does 1 room, so we have

1 roll of wire will do 1/7 of the room

We can see that as the number of roll increases, the size of the room also increases and when the number of roll decreases the size of the room decreases. So this is a case of direct proportion.

Step 3 :

Using direct proportion we have,

1 roll of wire does 1/7 of the room , so

7/10 of one roll of wire will do 7/10 *1/7 = 1/10th of the room

You are playing a game of Scrabble and have the 5 A tiles, 3 E tiles, 1 Z tile, 2 M tiles, 3 L tiles, and 1 Y tile to choose fro

So, what we need to do is find out the chance you will pull an M or an L out of the scrabble bag on your next turn.

Our first step is finding out how many pieces total are in the bag. This will become the denominator in our answer. To do this, we just need to add up all the pieces we know are in the bag! From the question, we know there are 5 As, 3 Es, 1 Z, 2 Ms, 3 Ls, and 1 Y left in the bag. So 5 + 3 + 1 + 2 + 3 +1 should give us 15 total pieces to pick from.

Next, we need to know the total of Ls and Ms left in the bag that we want to pick. This number will be the numerator in our answer. From the question, we know there are 2 Ms and 3 Ls in the bag. Because 2+3 = 5, that means out final fraction for this problem should be 5/15!

Unfortunately, that is not an actual answer for the question, so that means we have to simplify by finding the biggest number that goes into both the top and bottom of our fraction. To get 5, we can only use the numbers 1 and 5. To get 15, we can use 1, 3, 5, and 15. From this, it looks like both the top and the bottom are divisible by 5. When we divide the top by 5 we end up with a 1, and when we divide the bottom by 5 we end up with a 3, meaning our final fraction is D) 1/3!

If sin42 degrees = 2/3 then cos48 degrees = what? If tan20.5= 3/8, the tan69.5= what?

Big ifs, question writers. These are of course approximations.

The "co" in cosine comes from complementary angles. It means since

$42^\circ + 48 ^\circ = 90^\circ$
