Answer:

-5

Step-by-step explanation:

Coordinate of A = -7

Coordinate if B = 5

Distance of AB = |-7 - 5| = |-12| = 12

We are asked to find the coordinate of the point that would be ⅙ from the A to B, which is ⅙ of AB.

Let's find what ⅙ of AB is.

AB = 12

Therefore, ⅙ of AB = ⅙*12 = 2.

From point A (-7), we move 2 points towards B which will give us ⅙ from A to B.

The coordinate = -7 + 2 = -5

-5 is the coordinate of the point with a fraction distance of ⅙ from A to B.

1. get rid of your parenthesis
2. in order to do so you must look inside of the parenthesis and check if you have any like terms if so combine them
3. next use the distribution property or otherwise known as the rainbow
4. if you have an exponent to the right of your parenthesis then use the exponent rule
5. combine like terms by adding coefficients
6. finally combine the constants

Answer:

<h2>The required ratio is 8</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a sphere = $\frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}$ where r is the radius of the sphere.

If manuel bought a balloon (that is a perfect sphere) with a radius of 2cm, the original volume of the sphere is expressed as;

Vo = $\frac{4}{3}\pi (2)^{3}$

$Vo = \frac{4}{3}\pi *8\\Vo = \frac{32 \pi}{3}$

If he wanted his balloon to be bigger and he blew 2 big breaths of air into the balloon, if each big breath increased the balloon's radius by 1cm, the total radius will be the initial radius of the sphere plus the new radius after expansion.

radius of current sphere = 2cm+(1cm+1cm) = 4cm

Volume of the current sphere Vc = $\frac{4}{3}\pi (4)^{3}$
