Answer: 20 outlets.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that Jamal rewired 4 electrical outlets in 1 1/2 hours. This time can be rewritten as a decimal:

(1+\frac{1}{2})hours=1.5hours

 Then, if he works at the same pace for 7.5 hours you can calculate the number of outlets that he will rewire with:

\frac{1.5}{4}=\frac{7.5}{x}

Being "x" the number of outlets that Jamal will rewire.

Finally, you have to solve for "x":

\frac{1.5}{4}=\frac{7.5}{x}\\\\x(\frac{1.5}{4})=7.5\\\\x=(7.5)(\frac{4}{1.5})\\\\x=20

He will rewire 20 outlets.

Answer with proper units too!
EastWind [94]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Area of a parallelogram = base * height

 area = 10 * 4 = 40 in squared

perimeter = 2(a + b)

perimeter = 2 * (5 + 10) = 2 * 15 = 30in

2. Area of triangle = 1/2 * base * height

area = 1/2 * 21 * 8 = 84 cm squared

perimeter = sum of outer perimeters

perimeter= 10cm + 17cm + 21cm = 48cm

3.  area of trapezium = 1/2 * (a+b) * h

 area = 1/2 * (6+12) * 4 = 36ft squared

 perimeter = sum of outer perimeters

 perimeter = 5ft + 6ft + 12ft + 5ft = 28ft

What is the rule when you multiply several factors together? an even number of negative signs will result in
IrinaVladis [17]
⓵
When multiplying several factors together, an even number of negative signs will result in a positive answer.

↠ Because when you multiply two negative signs together, the negative signs turn into a positive sign, giving you a positive answer.

↠ If you have an even number of negative signs to multiply, then all your negative signs will be turned into positive signs, giving you a positive answer!

⓶
When multiplying several factors together, an odd number of negative signs will result in a negative answer.

↠ Because when you multiply a negative sign by a positive sign, the negative sign always wins, giving you a negative answer.

↠ If you har an odd number of negative signs to multiply, this means that once you are done multiplying all of the negative signs together except for the last one, you will be multiplying a positive sign with a negative sign.

↠ Here’s another way to see it : if you have 5 negative signs to multiply together, you will start by multiplying the first 2, which will give you a positive result. Then you will multiply the third and the fourth negative signs together, which will also give you a positive result. By that time, you will have two positive signs and one negative sign left, which means you will have no choice but to multiply a positive sign by the last negative sign, resulting in a negative answer!

I hope this helps! If you need a visual example, just tell me, it will be my pleasure! ☻
