there are 12 inches in 1 foot, so 6 inches is really just half a foot, thus 3'6" is really just 3.5' or 3½ feet.

now, let's convert those mixed fractions to improper fractions and then subtract, bearing in mind our LCD will be 8.

\bf \stackrel{mixed}{4\frac{5}{8}}\implies \cfrac{4\cdot 8+5}{8}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{45}{8}}~\hfill \stackrel{mixed}{3\frac{1}{2}}\implies \cfrac{3\cdot 2+1}{2}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{7}{2}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \cfrac{45}{8}-\cfrac{7}{2}\implies \stackrel{\textit{using the LCD of 8}}{\cfrac{(1)45~~-~~(4)7}{8}}\implies \cfrac{45-28}{8}\implies \cfrac{17}{8}\implies 2\frac{1}{8}

She has 1 and 1/8 foot of wood left.

3 feet and 6 inches is equal to 3 and 1/2 feet.

3 and 1/2 feet are also equal to 3 and 4/8 feet.

Subtract 3 4/8 from 4 5/8.

4 5/8 - 3 4/8 = 1 1/8.

Hope this helps!

If it does, it would help me a lot if you could make me brainliest.

HELP<br><br>Graph the solution of the inequality. <br><br>14 ≤ 2t + 18 &lt; 20
yawa3891 [41]
<h2>Greetings!</h2><h3>First when doing an inequality, if you find it easier to think of the ≤ signs as equal signs it can make it look easier. </h3>

14 = 2t + 18 = 20

<h3>Because we need to isolate the t, we need to subtract 18 from either side:</h3>

14 - 18 ≤ 2t + 18 - 18 < 20 - 18

<h3>Which then simplifies to:</h3>

-4 ≤ 2t < 2

<h3>Now, to get the t without two lots of it, we simply divide all sides by two:</h3>

-2 ≤ t < 1

<h3>So this means that t is smaller than one and bigger than or equal to -2, and the graph that shows that is C, because it includes -2 but is less than 1.</h3>

Value of h<br> please help me, I don't understand
Greeley [361]

Answer: h = 14.1 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The given triangle is an isosceles right angle triangle because the two sides or legs of the triangle are equal. To determine h, we would apply Pythagoras theorem which is expressed as

Hypotenuse² = opposite side² + adjacent side²

Hypotenuse = 20ft

opposite side = adjacent side = h feet

Therefore

20² = h² + h²

400 = 2h²

h² = 400/2 = 200

Taking square root of both sides, it becomes

h = √200

h = 14.1 ft
