Answer to the first question: 7/10ths of a mile
Explaination: When adding fractions, you need to have a common denominator. Since dividing 3/10 by 2 to get a denominator of 5 makes 3 a decimal, it's easier to multiply 2/5 by 2 to get a denominator of 10. You do the same to the top that you do to the bottom:
. From there, just add 4/10 and 3/10 to get the answer: 7/10ths of a mile.
Answer to the second question: Daniel read three (3/10) more books
Explaination: Since you can't evenly multiply 5 or 2 to get the opposite number, it's easier to multiply to the lowest common multiple. The easiest way to find that is to multiply both denominators (5*2=10). You'll have to multiply the numerator by the same amount you multipled the denominator by. For Daniel, that would mean:
. For Edgar, that would mean:
. So, Daniel read 3 more books than Edgar.
Answer to the third question: 2/4 mile (or 1/2 a mile)
Explaination: 2/8 can be simplified, by dividing the top and bottom by 2, resulting in 1/4. Since both fractions have the same denominator (/4), you can add them to get 2/4ths. This can be simplified further to half (1/2) a mile.
Knowing the volume of a 3-D shape is extremely when deciding what materials to use and how much of them to use. When you know the volume of the different designs is helpful when deciding which material costs less to use but still meets requirements. For example, if you were trying to decide what material to fill your product with, and say the volume of your product is 36^3. You narrow things down to two products, one costing $54 to fill the entire thing. The other costing $60. Because you have the volume, it will be easy to decide which is better based off of the price per square inch. If you didn't have the volume. You would have to make an estimate and potentially make a bad business decision.
Hope this helps! I apologize for my long response
Answer:
Perimeter = 40 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Length = 16 inches
Width = 25% of length (16)
= 25% of 16
25% = 1/4
Width = 1/4 x 16
= 4 inches
Length = 16 inches
Width = 4 inches
Perimeter of a rectangle = length + length + width + width:
= 16 + 16 + 4 + 4
= 32 + 8
= 40
PERIMETER = 40 inches
So glad I could help :)
Answer:
yes , 33^2 + 56^2 = 65^2 and obtuse
Step-by-step explanation:
<h2><u>Question 3</u></h2>
make use of the Pythagoras theorem
which is :
c^2 = a^2 + b^2
where c is the hypotenuse.
now put the values in the equation
65^2 = 56^2 + 33 ^2
the answer is :
<u>yes , 33^2 + 56^2 = 65^2</u>
<u></u>
<h2><u>Question 4</u></h2>
<u />
note if :
c^2 = a^2 + b^2 ----------- right
c^2 < a^2 + b^2------------ acute
c^2 > a^2 + b^2------------- obtuse
hence :
16 + 30 > 38
therefore its : <u>obtuse </u>
