0.2 is the same as 2/10
18/(2/10)
As you may have learned in school, when you divide a fraction, you flip the fraction in the denominator, and change it to multiplication
18/(2/10) becomes 18 x (10/2)
multiply normally
18 x 10 = 180
divide to find answer
180/2 = 90
90 is your answer
hope this helps
Remember, when you meet this problem, flip the second fraction, and change the division sign into multiplication. (always second, never first (if first is a fraction)).
Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 1 • -16 = -16
Step-2 : Find two factors of -16 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is 6 .
-16 + 1 = -15
-8 + 2 = -6
-4 + 4 = 0
-2 + 8 = 6 That's it
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -2 and 8
p2 - 2p + 8p - 16
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
p • (p-2)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
8 • (p-2)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(p+8) • (p-2)
Which is the desired factorization
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the sides be a, b and c.
<h3>Given</h3>
The length of one side of a triangle is 2 feet less than three times the length of its second side
The length of the third side is 3/4 of the sum of the lengths of the first two sides:
The perimeter of the triangle is 17.5 feet:
<h3>Solution</h3>
Substitute a with b in the second equation:
- c = (3/4)(3b - 2 + b) = (3/4)(4b - 2) = (3/4)(4b) - (3/4)(2) = 3b - 1.5
Now substitute a and c with b in the third equation and solve for b:
- 3b - 2 + b + 3b - 1.5 = 17.5
- 7b - 3.5 = 17.5
- 7b = 17.5 + 3.5
- 7b = 21
- b = 3
Find the value of a:
- a = 3b - 2 = 3*3 - 2 = 9 - 2 = 7
Find the value of c:
- c = 3b - 1.5 = 3*3 - 1.5 = 9 - 1.5 = 7.5
The sides of the triangle are:
- a = 7 feet, b = 3 feet, c = 7.5 feet
Answer:
a=3
Step-by-step explanation:
16/2
According to PEMDAS
Multiplying/dividing comes first when you read the equation from left to right
