<h3>Therefore she can cut 8 feet long log.</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The lengths in feet of three pieces of timber are 48,72 and 40. The sawmill operator needs to cut the timber into logs of equal length with no waste.

The HCF of 48 , 72 and 40 is =8

Therefore she can cut 8 feet long log.

marysya [2.9K]
The answer is 11 \frac{5}{6} inches

Step 1. Subtract length of the door from the width of the door:
27 \frac{1}{2} - 9 \frac{3}{4} =  \frac{55}{2} - \frac{39}{4} =\frac{110}{4} - \frac{39}{4}= \frac{71}{4}

Step 2. You want the same space to be on each side of the bar. So, divide the difference from step 1 by 2:
\frac{71}{4} : 2 = \frac{71}{4} :  \frac{2}{1} =\frac{71}{4} * \frac{1}{2}= \frac{71}{6} =  \frac{66+5}{6}= \frac{66}{6}+ \frac{5}{6}=11 \frac{5}{6}

Graph the line using a point and a slope. Write the equation of each line.
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

y = x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines have the same slope, so the line will also have a slope of 1.

Plug in the slope and given point into y = mx + b to solve for b:

y = mx + b

-1 = 1(1) + b

-1 = 1 + b

-2 = b

Plug in b and the slope into y = mx + b

y = x - 2 is the equation

Which equation represents a proportional relationship? A) y = x 8 B) y = 8 x C) y = x 8 + 8 D) y = 8 x + 8
Liula [17]

Answer:

B y=8x

Step-by-step explanation:

A proportional relationship must go through the point x=0, y=0 and be in the form y=kx  where x is a constant

A) y = x^8

B) y = 8 x

C) y = x^8 + 8

D) y = 8 x + 8

The only points that is in the form y= kx is option B

C and D do not go through x=0, y=0  and A is not in the form y=kx where k is a constant
