8 = 3x

8/3 = x

Check the picture below.

so we can say that two sides are "4" each in length, since opposite sides are equal, let's find how long the slanted sides are.

It takes Mia 1/4 hour to pick out all beads and 1/10 hour to string them. If she only has 5 and 1/4 to make bracelets how many w

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Mia take 1/4 and 1/10 hours to create a bracelet. This is 1/4 + 1/10 = 10/40 + 4/40 = 14/40 = 7/20.

It takes her a total of 7/20 hours to make the bracelet. She has 5 1/4 hours to work. To find the number of bracelets she can make divide 5 1/4 by 7/20.

Write first 5 1/4 as a mixed number. 21/4. Then rewrite it as multiplication with the reciprocal of 7/20 to divide fractions.

21/4 * 20/7 = 420/28 = 15

She will make 15 bracelets.

klasskru [66]

Answer:

$\frac{4}{9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{2}{3} * \frac{2}{3}$

you multiply across, so you do 2*2 for the numerator, then 3*3 for the denominator. This would equal 4 as the numerator, 9 as the denominator, which is $\frac{4}{9}$
