How to multiply 2 1 /2 multiply 1/10

Mathematics

Blababa [14]3 years ago
3 0

Okay, this will be simple.

Notice that 2 1/2 is a mixed number. This needs to be changed to an IMPROPER FRACTION.

To do this, multiply the denominator by the whole number

2 x 2 = 4

Add numerator and keep denominator the same.

5/2.

Okay, so 5/2 x 1/10.

When multiplying fractions, no common denominator is needed. Just multiply the numerators and denominators.

5 x 1 = 5

2 x 10 = 20.

5/20 which reduces to 1/4. (5 is the GCF of 5 and 20, 5 divided by 5 = 1 and 20 divided by 5 = 4)

5/20 or 1/4 is your answer. (they mean the same thing)

Find the surface area of the rectangular prism. justify your answer 3ft, 2ft, 4ft
Gelneren [198K]

Answer: SA=52\ ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area of a rectangular prism can be calculated with the following formula:

SA = 2wl + 2lh + 2hw

Where "l" is the length of the rectangular prism, "w" is the width and "h" is the height.

In this case you can say that the length, the width and the heigth of this rectangular prism, are the following:

l=4\ ft\\\\w=2\ ft\\\\h=3\ ft

Knowing these values, you can substitute them into the formula shown before:

SA = 2wl + 2lh + 2hw\\\\SA = 2(2\ ft)(4\ ft) + 2(4\ ft)(3\ ft)+ 2(3\ ft)(2\ ft)

Finally, you must evaluate in order to calculate the surface area of the rectangular prism.

You get that this is:

SA=2(8\ ft^2)+2(12\ ft^2)+2(6\ ft^2)\\\\SA=16\ ft^2+24\ ft^2+12\ ft^2\\\\SA=52\ ft^2

Who can help me complete 4 to 10
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

4 - 5 = 40 books about travel. 80 are school stories.

6-7 = 30 are about nature. 48

8 =24

9 = 18

10 = 2001

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>4,5,6,7,8</h3>

1/10 = 24 = sport

1/8 = 30 =nature

1/6= 40 =travel

1/5 = 48 = adventure

1/3 = 80 = schools stories

To get that you just have to read the question, find the fractions, percentages etc.

I put them all into fractions and divide 240 by the denominator.

<h3>9</h3>

For question 9, you just have to add all of the amounts of books together and take that away from the total amount. In this case it is 240 - 222 = 18

<h3>10</h3>

You just have to write it out.
