Answer:
No I do not agree with Andre says that 3 divided by 2/3 Solving for 3 ÷ 2/3
3 ÷ 2/3
= 3 × 3/2
= 9/2
= 4 1/2
Therefore, 3 divided by 2/3 is 4 1/2
Andre's reasoning is wrong.
Step-by-step explanation:
It is incorrect
Let's divide and compare the sum
3 : 2/3 = 3*3/2 = 9/2 = 4 1/2
and
There are four 2/3 fractions and one 1/3 fraction
The 1/3 fraction is 1/2 of 2/3 fraction so instead of counting 1/3 as 1/3 it should be counted as 1/2
You need to use percentage I would help but I can’t because of I’m bad at percentages
Answer:
x = -2/5
x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
5x² - 3x - 2 = 0
(5x + 2)(x - 1) = 0
⇒ 5x + 2 = 0
⇒ 5x = -2
⇒ x = -2/5
⇒ x - 1 = 0
⇒ x = 1
Assuming it forms a right triangle with the side of the building, you could just use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the height. The ladder would be the hypotenuse, so you would substitute that as c into the equation. The 4 feet could be either a or b; it doesn't really matter. Plug it into (a^2)+(b^2)=(c^2), and you would get. (4^2)+(b^2)=(14^2); simplified, it is (16)+(b^2)=(196). Subtract 16 from 196 to get 180, and you see that (b^2) is equal to 180. Just take the square root of that to get your answer, which would be 6 sqrt5.
