so, three bags can be filled and 0.33 or 0.33*(1/3) =11/100 nails will be left

Step-by-step explanation:

We will get the number of bags that can be filled from 5/12 by dividing the total amount by the 1/8

Given

Total nails in bag = 5/12 pounds

The capacity of small bag = 1/8 pounds

So,

$Number\ of\ bags = \frac{\frac{5}{12}}{\frac{1}{8}}\\Simplifying\\=\frac{5}{12}*\frac{8}{1}\\=\frac{40}{12}\\=3.33\ bags$

so, three bags can be filled and 0.33*(1/3) = 11/100 nails will be left

Answer:

The area of the copper circle is <u>31.4 inches</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

An artist used silver wire to make a square that has a perimeter of 40 inches.

She then used copper wire to make the largest circle that could fit in the square, with perimeter of 40 inches.

Use 3.14 to represent π.

Now, to find the area of the copper circle.

Perimeter of square = 40 inches.

So, we get the side of square by putting formula:

$Perimeter=4\times side$

$40=4\times side$

Dividing both sides by 4 we get:

$10=side.$

$Side=10\ inches.$

Now, as the side of square is 10 inches it is the diameter of the circle as the square is fit inside the circle:

For getting the area of circle we find the radius:

Radius (r) = $\frac{Diameter}{2} \\=\frac{10}{2}= 5\ inches.$

Now, putting the formula to get the area of the circle:

$Area=2\times \pi \times r$

$Area=2\times 3.14\times 5$

$Area=31.4\ inches.$

Therefore, the area of the copper circle is 31.4 inches.

Write the equation of a line that is

zvonat [6]

Answer:

$y=0.5x-5$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the equation is parallel, this means that the slope remains the same which is 0.5.

The remaining thing to do is to find b or y-intercept. To do that, the point (6,-2) and the slope of 0.5 will be used.

$-2=0.5(6)+b$

When solving for b, it will equal to -5.

Therefore the new equation that is parallel is $y=0.5x-5$
