Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Let length be l

Width, w=l-8

Negative square root of nine is it a rational or irrational number

Sergio [31]

It's a rational number. 9 is a perfect square. What you have asked is written as -sqrt(9), which can be written as -sqrt(3*3) which is - 3. That's perfectly OK. What would not be OK is something like -sqrt(10) which is irrational because it cannot be represented as a fraction or a whole number or a repeating decimal or a decimal that terminates.

A coin is tossed 20 times. It lands on heads 9 times. What is the P(H) according to your experiment? Write your answer as a frac

Mama L [17]

Answer:

$\frac{9}{20}=0.45=45$ %

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is found by first forming a fraction where the numerator represents the number of desired outcomes and the denominator represents the total number of outcomes. In this case, the desired outcomes is the amount of times the coin lands on heads (9) and the total outcomes is the number of times the coin is tossed (20):

$\frac{9}{20}$

Divide numerator by denominator to get a decimal: 9÷20= 0.45

Multiply the decimal by 100 to get a percent: 0.45 x 100 = 45%

Why do sharks not have swim bladder

Blababa [14]

Unlike bony fish, sharks do not have gas-filled swim bladders for buoyancy. Instead, sharks rely on a large liver filled with oil that contains squalene, and their cartilage, which is about half the normal density of bone.

Clare has a recipe for yellow cake. She uses 913 cups of flour to make 4 cakes. Noah will follow the same recipe. He will make c

sergejj [24]

Answer:

(C)c= $\frac{3}{7}$ f

Step-by-step explanation:

Clare uses $9\frac{1}{3}$ cups of flour to make 4 cakes.

It means she uses 1 cup of flour to make $4\div9\frac{1}{3}$ cakes.

Let us simplify that expression first for future use.

$4\div9\frac{1}{3}=4\div\frac{28}{3} =4 X \frac{3}{28} =\frac{3}{7}$

Therefore, Clare uses 1 cup of flour to make $\frac{3}{7}$ cakes.

If Noah follows the same recipe,

He uses f cups of flour to make c cakes

Using Ratio Method

→ Name : Cup : Cake

→ Clare : 1 : $\frac{3}{7}$

→ Noah : f : c

By using cross multiplication

c X 1 = $\frac{3}{7}$ f

c= $\frac{3}{7}$ f

The equation c= $\frac{3}{7}$ f represents the relationship between c and f
