Take the height of the tree and convert it to inches by multiplying the feet by 12 and then adding the leftover inches; this comes out to 177 inches. Divide this number by 3 to receive the height of the pole; this turns out to be 59 inches. Then convert it to get and inches to get 4 feet 11 inches, because 5 feet is 60 inches.

Use what you know about decimals or fractions to explain why (0.2)•(0.002)=0.0004

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

So any time you are multiplying something, you are making "groups of"

so 3 groups of 2 = 6, 4 groups of 3 = 12

But with decimals or fractions, because they are a value less than zero, the numbers become increasingly small instead of bigger, like standard multiplication.

So for example, 1 group of 1/2 = 1/2

2 groups of 1/4 = 1/2

and so on

hope this helps!

Solve the following system of equations by graphing and select the correct answer below:

JulijaS [17]

Answer: option c

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the x-intercept and y-intercept of each line.

To find the x-intercept, substitute $y=0$ into the equation and solve for "x".

To find the y-intercept, substitute $x=0$ into the equation and solve for "y".

- For the first equation:

x-intercept

$4x + 3y = 29\\\\4x + 3(0)= 29\\\\4x=29\\\\x=\frac{29}{4}\\\\x=7.25$

y-intercept

$4x + 3y = 29\\\\4(0) + 3y = 29\\\\3y=29\\\\y=\frac{29}{3}\\\\y=9.66$

Graph a line that passes through the points (7.25, 0) and (0, 9.66)

- For the second equation:

x-intercept

$2x - 3y = 1 \\\\2x - 3(0) = 1 \\\\2x=1\\\\x=0.5$

y-intercept

$2x - 3y = 1\\\\2(0) - 3y = 1\\\\-3y=1\\\\y=-0.33$

Graph a line that passes through the points (0.5, 0) and (0, -0.33)

Observe the graph attached. You can see that point of intersection of the lines is (5,3); then this is the solution of the system. Therefore:

$x=5\\y=3$
