What’s the rational number has -0.875 as its decimal equivalent

1 answer:

8 0

Get rid of the decimal first.
-0.875*1000
-875/1000=-0.875
Simplify it since both denominator and numerator is divisible by 5
1/5(-875/1000)
-175/200
Still divisible by 5
1/5(-175/200)
-35/40
Keep going
-7/8
There, now it can’t be more simplified.

Answer: Parallel lines are lines in a plane which do not meet; that is, two straight lines in a plane that do not intersect at any point are said to be parallel. Colloquially, curves that do not touch each other or intersect and keep a fixed minimum distance are said to be parallel.

one eighth of the brass instruments are tubas. if there are 240 instruments in the band, how many are tubas?

Andrej [43]

Just do 240 times 1/8 which is the same thing as 240/8, which is 30

From a piece of tin in the shape of a square 6 inches on a side, the largest possible circle is cut out. What is the ratio of th

wel

Answer:

$\sf \dfrac{1}{4} \pi \quad or \quad \dfrac{7}{9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The width of a square is its side length.

The width of a circle is its diameter.

Therefore, the largest possible circle that can be cut out from a square is a circle whose diameter is equal in length to the side length of the square.

Formulas

$\sf \textsf{Area of a square}=s^2 \quad \textsf{(where s is the side length)}$

$\sf \textsf{Area of a circle}=\pi r^2 \quad \textsf{(where r is the radius)}$

$\sf \textsf{Radius of a circle}=\dfrac{1}{2}d \quad \textsf{(where d is the diameter)}$

If the diameter is equal to the side length of the square, then:
$\implies \sf r=\dfrac{1}{2}s$

Therefore:

$\begin{aligned}\implies \sf Area\:of\:circle & = \sf \pi \left(\dfrac{s}{2}\right)^2\\& = \sf \pi \left(\dfrac{s^2}{4}\right)\\& = \sf \dfrac{1}{4}\pi s^2 \end{aligned}$
