Answer:
Inverse property of addition
Step-by-step explanation:
When you add two opposite numbers (4/5 is the opposite of [-4/5]) the answer is always zero.
Answer:
7
Step-by-step explanation:
Total number of surfaces of cube are 6.
Each surface is square.
And area of square is (side)^2
That means, total surface area will be 6 * (side)^2
From question,
294 = 6 * (side)^2 ( Surface area given)
=> 294 ÷ 6 = ( side) ^2
=> 49 = side^2
=> √49 = side
=> 7 = side
So, length of edge of cube is 7
Square root of 289 = 17 ft
so this rug would not fit the room because one side is 16 ft long.
Answer:
This problem is incomplete, we do not know the fraction of the students that have a dog and also have a cat. Suppose we write the problem as:
"In Mrs.Hu's classroom, 4/5 of the students have a dog as a pet. X of the students who have a dog as a pet also have cat as a pet. If there are 45 students in her class, how many have both a dog and a cat as pets?"
Where X must be a positive number smaller than one, now we can solve it:
we know that in the class we have 45 students, and 4/5 of those students have dogs, so the number of students that have a dog as a pet is:
N = 45*(4/5) = 36
And we know that X of those 36 students also have a cat, so the number of students that have a dog and a cat is:
M = 36*X
now, we do not have, suppose that the value of X is 1/2 ("1/2 of the students who have a dog also have a cat")
M = 36*(1/2) = 18
So you can replace the value of X in the equation and find the number of students that have a dog and a cat as pets.
