Answer:

-2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The mixed number can be converted to the improper fraction ...

1 1/8 = (8/8) +(1/8) = (8+1)/8 = 9/8

Then the problem is to divide -3/4 by 9/8.

_____

There are a couple of ways to do this:

1) match denominators and take the ratio of numerators as the result.

To do this, we need to rewrite -3/4 as -6/8. Now, we have ...

(-6/8)/(9/8) = -6/9 = -2/3 . . . . . after cancelling factors of 3

2) invert the denominator and multiply.

(-3/4)(8/9) = (-3·8)/(4·9) = -2/3 . . . . . . after cancelling factors of 3 and 4

Since it's a regular pentagon, all it's sides are equal so let's solve for x

$\hookrightarrow \: 3(x - 1) = 5x - 6$

$\hookrightarrow \: 3x - 3 = 5x - 6$

$\hookrightarrow \: 3x - 5x = - 6 + 3$

$\hookrightarrow \: - 2x = - 3$

$\hookrightarrow \: x = \dfrac{ - 3}{ - 2}$

$\boxed{\boxed{x = \dfrac{3}{2} }}$

now let's find the measure of each side, i.e

$\hookrightarrow \: 5x - 6$

$\hookrightarrow \: (5 \times \dfrac{3}{2}) - 6$

$\hookrightarrow \: \dfrac{15}{2} - 6$

$\hookrightarrow \: 7.5 - 6$

$\mathrm{\hookrightarrow \: 1.5 \: units}$

perimeter = 5 × side length ( for a regular pentagon )

$\hookrightarrow \: 1.5 \times 5$

$\boxed{ \boxed{ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: 7.5 \: \: units \: \: \: \: \: \: \: }}$

A triangle has 3 angles. One of the angles is 40 degrees. Another angle is 60 degrees. The last one has a label of 2n - 10. What

iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the angles on a triangle must always equal 180 degrees. That means...

40 + 60 + (2n - 10) = 180

100 - 10 + 2n = 180

90 + 2n = 180

90 - 90 + 2n = 180 - 90

2n = 90

n = 45

I hope this helps!

A. 2/3x=6
B. I chose multiplication because division would be used to find the answer without an equation so I chose the inverse (or opposite) operation
