The answer is 6.08 and here is why:

The way to find this is $12.5- 6\frac{6}{14}$

$6/14=0.42$ so this leaves us with

$12.5-6.42=6.08$

So Lisa has 6.08 pounds of candy

A campground has cabins that can each hold 28 campers there are 148 campers visiting the campground.how many cabins are full if

Rainbow [258]

For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables.

We have then:

x: number of cabins

y: number of campers

We now write the equation that models the problem:

$y = 28x$

We know that there are 148 campers.

Therefore, substituting y = 148 in the given equation we have:

$148 = 28x$

From here, we clear the value of x:

$x = \frac{148}{28}\\x = 5.29$

Therefore, the number of full cabins is:

$x = 5$

Answer:

The number of full cabins is:

$x = 5$

7.Find the lengths of the missing sides in the triangle. If your answer is not an integer, leave it in simplest radical form. Th

Fed [463]

Here a right angled triangle given. one angle with measure $45^o$ given. The three sides of the triangle given 4, x, y.

We have to find, the sides which is opposite, adjacent and hypotenuse here.

We know that the side opposite to right angle is always hypotenuse. So, hypotenuyse = y.

The side adjacent to the given angle $45^o$ is x. So, here adjacent = x.

The opposite side is opposite to the given angle. So, opposite = 4.

Now we will use SOHCAHTOA that is $sin(x) =\frac{Opposite}{Hypotenuse} , cos(x) =\frac{Adjacent}{Hypotenuse} , tan(x) =\frac{Opposite}{Adjacent}$ , where x is the angle given.

To get x, we will use tan. So we will get,

$tan(45^o) = \frac{4}{x}$

We know the value of $tan(45^o) = 1$ . By substituting the value we will get,

$1 =\frac{4}{x}$

To find x, we have to move x here to the left side by multiplying it to both sides. We will get,

$(1)(x) = (\frac{4}{x}) (x)$

$x = 4$

So we have got the value of x here.

Now to find y, we will use the trigonometric function sine.

$sin(45^o) =\frac{4}{y}$

we know the value of $sin(45^o) =\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$

By substituting the value we will get,

$\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} = \frac{4}{y}$

By cross multiplying we will get,

$(\sqrt{2}) (y) = (4)(2)$

$\sqrt{2}y = 8$

We will get y by dividing both sides by $\sqrt{2}$ , we will get,

$\frac{\sqrt{2}y}{\sqrt{2}} =\frac{8}{\sqrt{2} }$

$y =\frac{8}{\sqrt{2} }$

Now we will rationalize the denominator by multiplying $\sqrt{2}$ to the top and bottom.

$y =\frac{8\sqrt{2}}{(\sqrt{2})(\sqrt{2})}$

$y =\frac{8\sqrt{2}}{2}$

$y = 4\sqrt{2}$

So we have got the required values of x and y.

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

1) 13 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

1) 13+8=21 which is greater than 15. Would be a triangle.

2) 7+8=15 This would be a single line, not a triangle.

3) 3+8<15 This would be a single line, not a triangle.

2) 15+8=23 This would be a single line, not a triangle.
