3/4 ÷ 5 1/2 please explain the steps

1 answer:

3 0

The easiest way to do it is to make the numbers into decimals. All you need to do is divide them.

To convert 3/4 into a decimal just divide 3 by 4.

3 / 4 = .75

To get 5 1/2 into a decimal just ignore the 5 for now and divide the 1 by 2.

1 / 2 = .5

Now add the 5 back on and you have 5.5

So far you have converted the equation from (3/4) / 5 1/2 to .75 / 5.5

Now just divide .75 by 5.5

.75 / 5.5 = 1.136 with the 36 repeated

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of total region = 12 ×5

=60

Area of the small region = 8×3

=24

Area of shaded region = Area of Total region - area of small region

= 60 - 24

= 36

Use complete sentences to describe how measurements of position in two directions (vertical and horizontal) are sufficient enoug

Essentially, you can always tell a thing's position by 3 coordinates. We also say that our world is three-dimentional: it has three dimensions -that's why three coordinates are needed. If something is on a flat surface, you know its one coordinate (all points on the same surface have the same coordinate) so you only need two more (you can call them vertical and horizontal)

How do I solve for x

Alchen [17]

Greetings!

To find the length of any side of a right triangle, you can use the Pythagorean Thereom. It states that the squares of two sides are equal to the square of the hypotenuse:
$a^2+b^2=c^2$

Input the information from the diagram into the formula:
$(x)^2+(x+7)^2=(13)^2$

Expand each term:
$(x)^2+(x+7)^2=(13)^2$

$x^2+((x+7)(x+7))=169$

$x^2+(x(x+7)+7(x+7))=169$

$x^2+x^2+7x+7x+49=169$

Combine like terms:
$2x^2+14x+49=169$

Add -169 to both sides:
$(2x^2+14x+49)+(-169)=(169)+(-169)$

$2x^2+14x-120=0$

Factor out the Common Term (2):
$2(x^2+7x-60)=0$

Factor the Complex Trinomial:
$2(x^2-5x+12x-60)=0$

$2(x(x-5)+12(x-5))=0$

$2(x-5)(x+12)=0$

Set Factors to equal 0:
$x-5=0$

$x=5$

or

$x+12=0$

$x=-12$

However, since we are solving for the side length, the only possible answer is 5 (a shape can't have a side with a negative length.)

The Solution Is:
$\boxed{x=5}$

I hope this helped!
