From point A, draw a line segment at an angle to the given line, and about the same length. The exact length is not important. Set the compasses on A, and set its width to a bit less than one fifth of the length of the new line. Step the compasses along the line, marking off 5 arcs. Label the last one C. With the compasses' width set to CB, draw an arc from A just below it. With the compasses' width set to AC, draw an arc from B crossing the one drawn in step 4. This intersection is point D. Draw a line from D to B. Using the same compasses' width as used to step along AC, step the compasses from D along DB making 4 new arcs across the line. Draw lines between the corresponding points along AC and DB. Done. The lines divide the given line segment AB in to 5 congruent parts.
50 1/2 <u>divided by</u> 1/4 = 202
A farm was selling 50 1/2 apples to 2 families in need of some food. 1 family got half of what the 2nd family got.
50 1/2 <u>multiplied by</u> 1/4 = 12.625
The first number (50 1/2) is 202 times greater than the second number (1/4)
Hope this helps! :'(
I tried my best. I'm not good at math.
Answer: 24; 8.5
Step-by-step explanation:
40% of 60
Move the decimal twice
4*6= 24
17% of 50
Move decimal and multiply
0.17*50= 8.5
Answer:
8 weeks
Step-by-step explanation:
p = 2w
p = total pieces = 16
then putting value in p = 2w
16 = 2w
divide by 2 on both side we get
16/2 = 2w/2
8 = w
where w is total weeks i.e 8
Answer: 2
Step-by-step explanation: just put 2
