Let x = the shorter piece and Let y = the longer piece. 

(3/4)x = 120 

x = 120 / (3/4) 

x = 120 * (4/3 = 480/3) = 160 feet 

y = 160 + 12

What is 8 times -8/9
LuckyWell [14K]

When you multiply a whole number by a fraction, multiply the whole number by the numerator ( top number) and then divide by the denominator (bottom number).

8 x -8/9 = (8 *-8)/9 = -64/9 = -7 1/9 = -7.1

Solve the equation sin theta = 0.3 to the nearest tenth. Use the restrictions 90degrees < theta < 180degrees.
Alexxandr [17]
We first do:
∅ = sin⁻¹(0.3)
∅ = 17.5°

To go into the second quadrant, we add 90°.
∅ = 17.5 + 90
= 107.5°
The answer is A.
