Answer: the length of the second piece is 1 5/6 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Mary had a link of yarn 4 1/3 inches. Converting 4 1/3 inches to improper fraction, it becomes 13/3 inches.

She cut it into two pieces for her art project. One of the pieces was 2 1/2 inches long. Converting 2 1/2 inches to improper fraction, it becomes 5/2 inches.

Therefore, the length of the second piece would be

13/3 - 5/2 = (26 - 15)/6 = 11/6 inches.

Converting to mixed fraction, it becomes

1 5/6 inches

Factor 64b-16c to identify the equivalent expressions. *
scoray [572]

Answer:

The factored form of this would be 16(4b - c)

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, look for the greatest common factor of 16 and 64. You can do this by listing out their factors. Once this is done and we identify 16 as the GCF, we can then put that on the outside of the parenthesis and divide all the terms inside by that number.

What is the slope !!!!!
Ratling [72]
Hello there! Slope is rise/run. The formula for finding slope is y2 - y1/ x2 - x1, meaning that you subtract the first x and y-coordinates from the second x and y-coordinates. We'll use the points (0, 3) and (3, 2) for this case. Plug in the values into the formula to get this:

2 - 3 / 3 - 0

Subtract the values in order to get -1/3. There. The slope of the line is -1/3.

How do you solve x^2-4X-12=0
Pepsi [2]
                                         x²  -  4x  - 12  =  0

Factor the left side:      (x + 2) · (x - 6)  =  0

The equation is true if either factor is zero.

If  (x + 2) = 0  then    x = -2 .

If  (x - 6) = 0  then     x = 6 .
