Answer: Choice D) 8 & 1/8

This is read as "Eight and one-eighth"

======================================================

You want the perimeter so you'll add the three fractions to add up the three side lengths.

1/2 is the same as 4/8 (since 4 is half of 8). You can think of having a cake that is cut up into 8 equal slices. If you take 4 of those slices, then you take half of the cake.

So the value 3&1/2 is the same as 3&4/8. Similarly, 2&1/2 is equivalent to 2&4/8

We want to add the three mixed numbers: 2&1/8, 3&4/8, 2&4/8

Add up the fractional parts: 1/8+4/8+4/8 = (1+4+4)/8 = 9/8 = 1&1/8

The whole part '1' carries over to the other whole parts.

Add up the whole parts: 2+3+2 = 7

Then add in the carry: 7+1 = 8

Overall, the three numbers {2&1/8, 3&4/8, 2&4/8} add up to 8&1/8 which is the final answer (choice D)

Hi!
A is the answer:⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬

The distance around a triangle, better noun as de "perimeter of a triangle"

is the total distance around the outside, which can be found by adding together the length of each side.

Perimeter (P) = Length A + Length B + Lenght C

In this case, we know that each side measure 2 \frac{1}{8}81​ feet, 3 \frac{1}{2}21​ feet, and 2 \frac{1}{2}21​feet  but we have to rewrite each one of this mixed fractions as improper fractions:

2 \frac{1}{8}81​ = \frac{16 + 1}{8}816+1​ = \frac{17}{8}817​   

3 \frac{1}{2}21​ = \frac{6 + 1}{2}26+1​ = \frac{7}{2}27​

2 \frac{1}{2}21​ = \frac{4 + 1}{2}24+1​ = \frac{5}{2}25​

Then we just add all of them to find the perimeter:

 = \frac{17 + 28 + 20}{8}817+28+20​ = \frac{65}{8}865​

A: The distance around a triangle is \frac{65}{8}865​feet

White and black shapes are used in a game Some of the shapes are circles All the other shapes are squares The ratio of white to
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

The fraction of all shapes which are square in shape is \frac{23}{32}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that , in a game , white and black shapes are used. Some of them are circle in shape and remains are square in shape.

The ratio of white to black shapes are 5:11.

Consider 5x= the number of shapes which are white in color.

11x= The number of shapes which are black in color.

There are (5x+11x)= 16x shapes in the game.

The  white circle and white square are in the ratio 3:7.

The number of white square is

=(\textrm{The number of white shape})\times (\frac{7}{3+7})

=(5x)\times (\frac{7}{10})

=\frac{7x}{2}

The black circles and black square are in the ratio 3:8

The number of black square is

=(\textrm{The number of black shape})\times (\frac{8}{3+8})

=(11x)\times (\frac{8}{11})

=8x

Therefore the total number of shape which are square is

=\frac{7x}{2}+8x

=\frac{7x+16x}{2}

=\frac{23x}{2}

The fraction of all shape are square is

=\frac{\textrm{shape in square}}{\textrm{Total number shape}}

=\frac{\frac{23x}{2}}{16x}

=\frac{23}{32}

Describe the pattern in the sequence. Find the next two terms of the difference -2, -5,-8, -11
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

"-3" is added to a sequence member to get the next number. This next two terms are -14 and  -17


Discussion:

Note that -2 -3 = -5 and

                -5 -3 = -8 and

                -8 - 3 = -11


"-3" is added to a sequence member to get the next number. This implies that the next two terms are -11 -3 = -14 and -14 -3 = -17

Regards,  

MrB

What are the zeros of the function f(x) = x2 + 5x + 5 written in simplest radical form?
satela [25.4K]

Step-by-step explanation:

x =  \frac{ - b +  -  \sqrt{ {b}^{2} - 4ac } }{2a}  \\ x =  \frac{ - 5 +  -   \sqrt{ {5}^{2} - 4(5) } }{2}  \\ x =  \frac{ - 5 +  -  \sqrt{25 - 20} }{2}  \\ x =  \frac{ - 5 +  -  \sqrt{5} }{2}

Therefore, the zeroes would be:

x1 =  \frac{ - 5 +  \sqrt{5} }{2}  \\ x2 =  \frac{ - 5 -  \sqrt{5} }{2}

If 5 boxes of cereal cost $27.50, how much does one box of cereal cost? a) $5.50 b) $5.05 c) $550 d) .55​
olga_2 [115]

}

Answer:B

Step-by-step explanation: I said that because you have 27 and 50 Cent so basically you won't have that $5 in that picture because you still going to have that $0.04 and then you still have to have that much so I I think I am right but if I'm not I'm so sorry but I'm taking not even to get I'm trying to get back on track but I think is b for a reason like I think you could be because you have 27 and 50 Cent so if you got twenty-seven fifty cents you just rounding it down
