This is the concept of perimeter of figures, to get the length of material that is required to make a circle with diameter 6 ft, we are required to calculate for its circumference;
circumference, C= π*diameter
C=3.14*6=18.85 ft
therefore it will take a material whose length is 18.85 ft to make a circle of 6 feet
2(x-2)=6
2x-4=6
2x=6+4
2x/2=10/2
x=5
Answer:
-9
Step-by-step explanation:
you'd add 2 to the -11 which would equal -9 and leave you with x=-9
2.8 = 2 + 0.8
*let's analyze the decimal 0.8 as a fraction
0.8 = 8/10
*but if we divide the numerator and denominator by the same common factor of 2, we find that the fraction can be reduced to:
(8/2)/(10/2) = (4)/(5) = 4/5
*now evaluating the whole value of 2 (from the 2.8), we know there are a total of (5) - fifths in order to make a whole, so for 2 whole, we require:
2*(5/5) = (2*5)/5 = 10/5
*Now we add the fractions together:
2 = 10/5
0.8 = 4/5
10/5 + 4/5
*add numerators only, the denominator stays as a 5
(10 + 4)/5 = 14/5
*there are no common factors between 14 & 5 (other than 1, but that won't help reduce the fraction any), so the fraction is in it's simplest form:
answer is: 14/5
