Answer: Damien has 21 red pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

First, 7/8 of the rectangle is coloured red.

Then, the 7/8 was cut into a size 1/24 of the rectangle each.

That consequently means that 24 of those pieces will form the whole shape.

Since red covers 7/8 of the rectangle, the number of red pieces invariably becomes

⅞ × 24 pieces, which is equal to 21 pieces

Therefore, Damien has cut the red part of the rectangle into 21 pieces

Solve for a: a(a-3) =100
marissa [1.9K]
a(a-3) =100\\
a^2-3a-100=0\\
\Delta=(-3)^2-4\cdot1\cdot(-100)=9+400=409\\
\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqr{409}\\
a_1=\dfrac{-(-3)-\sqrt{409}}{2\cdot1}=\dfrac{3-\sqrt{409}}{2}\\
a_2=\dfrac{-(-3)+\sqrt{409}}{2\cdot1}=\dfrac{3+\sqrt{409}}{2}

Madison read 1/2 of a book in the morning, and she read some more at night. By the end of the day she still had 2/5 of the book
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer: 1/10

Step-by-step explanation:

At the end of the day, she still had 2/5 of the book to read. Which meant that she had read 3/5 of the book. Since she read 1/2 of the book in the day, we would read 3/5 - 1/2 = 6/10 - 5/10 = 1/10 of the book at night.

A bike store rents bikes for $9 an hour in addition to a helmet rental fee of $15. If
wel

Answer:

4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to subtract the one pay fee (the helmet rental fee, $15)

So 51 - 15 = 36

Then we need to divide 36 by the amount of money it costs for each hours to find how many hours he rented the bike

So 39/9 = 4
