Answer:

the width is 9 23/30 feet ≈ 9.767 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w represent the width of the train car. Then 6 times the width is 6w, and 8 ft less than that is (6w-8). We are told this amount is 50.6 feet, so we have ...

6w -8 = 50.6

6w = 58.6 . . . . . . . add 8; next divide by 6

58.6/6 = w = 586/60 = 293/30 = 9 23/30 . . . . feet

This is a repeating decimal: 9.766666...

The width of the train car is 9 23/30 ft, about 9.77 ft.

Your puppy weighed 2 1/2 lb last week. This week it weighs 7 1/4lb. How much weight has the puppy gained? A) 9 3/4 B) 3/4 C) 4 3
jonny [76]
Hello!

You have to subtract 7 1/4 and 2 1/2. First change both to a common denominator to make it easier.

Common denominator: 4

2 \frac{1}{2} = 2 \frac{2}{4}

7\frac{1}{4} =  7\frac{1}{4}

7 \frac{1}{4} - 2 \frac{2}{4} =  6\frac{5}{4} - 2 \frac{2}{4} = 4 \frac{3}{4}

Answer ⇒ 4 \frac{3}{4}

Please it is timed will give 30 points
Alchen [17]

Answer:

36 units squared

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is kind of a weird shape, we can split it into two smaller shapes, a triangle, and a rectangle.  

The rectangle is 6 units wide, and 4 units long.  Multiply the length and width to get 24 units squared.  

The triangle has a base of 6 and a height of 4, so multiply the base and height, then divide by 2.  6 times 4 is 24 and that divided by 2 is 12.  

Finally add the two areas together.  24+12=36 units squared.

The perimeter of a square newspaper ad is 40 centimeters. How long is each side?
Katyanochek1 [597]
The answer is:  "10 cm" .
____________________________________
Method 1)
____________________________________________
2L + 2w = 40 ;  Since the formula for perimeter of a rectangle (Note: a square is a rectangle) is:

                         P = 2L + 2w ;  Note:  L = length; w = width; P = perimeter;
______________________________________________________
 Factor out a "2":
_________________
" 2L + 2w = 40" ;

2 (L+ w) = 40;

Divide each side of the question by "2" ;
____________________________________
         [2 (L + w)] / 2  = 40 / 2 ;
____________________________________
 to get:  (L + w) = 20 ;

Note:  this "rectangle is a square" ; so L= w".
__________________
20 /2 = 10 ;

L + w = 10 + 10 = 20.

This is a square, so each side of the square is the same length.

Each side is:  10 cm .
______________________________________________
Method 2)
______________________________________________

We are given: The perimeter (sum of the lengths of all sides) of a square is "40 cm."  Since a square has 4 sides of equal length:
     Each side is:  40 cm / 4 = 10 cm.
