Answer:

Area is 147.74

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to recall that the equation for the area of a rectangle is:

Length * Width = area

So 16 3/5 * 8 9/10 = area

Rearrange so the whole numbers are being multiplied and the fractions are too:

We need to make the denominator same, this can be done by simply multiplying 3/5 by 2:

3/5 * 2 = 6/10

Now the two numbers can be written as 16.6 and 8.9.

Multiply both numbers by 10:

166 * 89 = 14774

Then divide this by 100 (two lots of division by 10)

14774 ÷ 1000 = 147.74

So the area of the rectangle is 147.74!

Daniel [21]

$\huge \mathfrak \blue{Solution \: - }$

The formula for area of triangle is -

$\frac{1}{2} \times base \times height$

________________________________

So, the area of first triangle =

$\frac{1}{2} \times base \: \times height$

$\frac{1}{2} \times 4 \times 3$

$= \pink{6 \: units}$

________________________________

Area of second triangle =

$\frac{1}{2 } \times base \times height$

$\frac{1}{2} \times 4 \times 6$

$= \pink {12 \: units}$

________________________________

Area of second triangle - Area of first triangle

$= 12 - 6$

$= 6$

$\sf \underline\purple{The \: area \: increases \: by \: 6 \: square \: units.}$

Daniel is using logarithms to solve the equation 2^4x = 14. Which of the following equations would be equivalent to his original

ycow [4]

Remember
$log_a(b^c)=(c)log_a(b)$
so
$2^{4x}=14$ take the log of both sides
$log(2^{4x})=log(14)$ or
$4xlog(2)=log(14)$

B is the answer

Divide and write in simplest form 2 1/7 divided by 1 1/4

stich3 [128]

Hi!

<h3>To divide a fraction, you multiply by the reciprocal of the second fraction. </h3><h3>First, convert the mixed numbers to fractions, by multiplying the denominator by the whole number and adding that to the numerator. </h3>

---------------

2 * 7 = 14

14 + 1 = 15

15/7

---------------

4 * 1 = 4

4 + 1 = 5

5/4

---------------

<u> $\frac{15}{7} * \frac{4}{5} = \frac{60}{35} (simplify) = 1 \frac{5}{7}$ </u>

<h2>The answer is 1 5/7 </h2>

Hope this helps! :)

Solve for x.7x + 14 – 2x = −x + 12 – x − 19A.x = −3B.x = −1C.x = 1D.x = 3

lara31 [8.8K]

7x+14-2x=-x+12-x-19
collect like terms
7x-2x+X+X+19=12-14
7x+19+2
7x=-21
x-21/7
X=-3
