a single box of thumb tacks weighed 3 1/2 if a teacher had 4 1/7 boxes of thumbtacks how much would their combined weight be?

1 answer:

6 0

Their combined weight would be 7 2/14. here are the steps of how I got my answer.
1. I made the answers into improper fractions. 3 1/2= 7/2 and 4 1/7= 29/7.
2. then I found the least common multiple (LCM) of 2 and 7 which is 14.
3. next in order to make both denominators become 14 I cant just make 7/2 into 7/14 and 29/7 into 29/14. so I multiplied 29/7 by 2 which got me 58/14 and 7/2 by 7 which got me 42/14.
4. then I did 42/14+ 58/14= 100/14.
5. Then the last step was to make the improper fraction 100/14 into a proper fraction. Now how do you do that? BY DIVIDING! I divided 100 by 14 and I got my answer of 7 2/14.

Hope this helped! :)

Please help ASAP!

First, recall that

$\sin(-\theta)=-\sin\theta$

So if $\sin(-\theta)=\dfrac15$ , then $\sin\theta=-\dfrac15$ .

Second,

$\tan\theta=\dfrac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta}$

We know that $\tan\theta>0$ and $\sin\theta$ , which means we should also have $\cos\theta$ .

Third,

$\sin^2\theta+\cos^2\theta=1\implies\cos\theta=\pm\sqrt{1-\sin^2\theta}$

but as we've already shown, we need to have $\cos\theta$ , so we pick the negative root.

Finally,

$\tan\theta=\dfrac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta}\iff\dfrac6{\sqrt{12}}=\dfrac{-\frac15}{\cos\theta}\implies\cos\theta=-\dfrac1{5\sqrt3}$

Unfortunately, none of the given answers match, so perhaps I've misunderstood one of the given conditions... In any case, this answer should tell you everything you need to know to find the right solution from the given options.

The area of a rectangle is 4.9 square units. The length is 2.5 units and the width is y units. What is the value of y?

iris [78.8K]

1.96, if you multiply that by the length, (which is 2.5) then you will get the area of 4.9 hope this helps
