The length of the base of the rectangle is 12.8 inches.

Here's an explanation:

The problem has stated that the area of the rectangle is 204.8 square inches, and that the height of the rectangle is 16 inches. The equation for finding the area of a rectangle is height *length = area. If you insert the values that we know, then the equation becomes 16*length = 204.8. We can alter the equation, and we can isolate the variable by dividing each side by 16. The equation then becomes length=204.8/16. 204.8/16 is equal to 12.8 inches, and that is the length of the rectangle.

At the middle school graduation dance, the DJ played 12 slow dances, which was equal to the quotient of the number of fast dance

belka [17]

quotient means divide

so 12 = x/2

x = 12*2 = 24

x =24 fast songs

Of the dogs at the dog show,

Olin [163]

So, let's say that all the dogs had a number of x.

then 1/12 x were the Hound Group dogs.

then, out of the Hound Group,, that is 1/12 x, 3/10 were English Foxhounds.

For this, we need to multiply the fractions:

$\frac{1}{12}x* \frac{3}{10} = \frac{3}{120}x =\frac{1}{40}x$

so of all the dogs at the show, the English Foxhunds were a 1/40 fraction,

Find the slope of a line perpendicular to y = -2/5x + 4/5

valkas [14]

To find a perpendicular line, you need to find the negative reciprocal of the slope.

-2/5 flips into -5/2
Since -2/5 is negative, -5/2 turns positive, so 5/2.

Therefore, the slope of a line perpendicular to Y = -2/5x + 4/5 is 5/2
