Convert to denominators of 6:

21/6 + 14/6

Add the numerators:

35/6

Subtract from 8:

8 - 35/6

Convert 8 into a denominator of 6:

48/6 - 35/6

Subtract the numerators:

13/6

Convert to a mixed number:

2 1/6

So 2 1/6 of the board is left

First, add the two measurements up, then subtract it from 8.

3 1/2 + 2 1/3

Convert to improper fractions:

7/2 + 7/3

Convert to denominators of 6:

21/6 + 14/6

Add the numerators:

35/6

Subtract from 8:

8 - 35/6

Convert 8 into a denominator of 6:

48/6 - 35/6

Subtract the numerators:

13/6

Convert to a mixed number:

2 1/6

So 2 1/6 of the board is left.

An oil company fills 1 over 12 of a tank in 1 over 3 hour. At this rate, which expression can be used to determine how long will
Leto [7]
Don't let fractions fool you.

\frac{1}{12} of a tank in \frac{1}{3} an hour is equal to:
1/12 of a tank in 20 minutes.

Thus we know in an hour, an oil company can fill 3/12 of a tank (60 minutes in an hour).

3 x 4 = 12, and 12/12 = 1(a whole tank), so we multiply 1 (hour) by 4.

Our answer is that it takes 4 hours to fill a tank.

Find the coordinates of the turning point for the equation of the graph below y=x^2+14x+45
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

(- 7, - 4 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a quadratic in standard form

y = ax² + bx + c ( a ≠ 0 )

Then the x- coordinate of the turning point is

x = - \frac{b}{2a}

y = x² + 14x + 45 ← is in standard form

with a = 1, b = 14 , then

x = - \frac{14}{2} = - 7

Substitute x = - 7 into the equation and evaluate for y

y = (- 7)² + 14(- 7) + 45 = 49 - 98 + 45 = - 4

coordinates of turning point = (- 7, - 4 )

Please help me with the questions I have please help me with the question mark you as a brnlist
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

x = 21

Step-by-step explanation:

You can solve this problem by using similar triangles. You can tell that the two triangles are similar by AAA (since two angles are the same, the third must be too).

Now that we've established that the triangles are similar, you need to identify the corresponding sides:

12 corresponds to 28

9 corresponds to x

In order to find x, you'll need to find the scale factor, which you can find by dividing 28 by 12:

28 ÷ 12 = 7/3

Now that you know that 7/3 is the scale factor, you can multiply it by 9 to find x:

9 × 7/3 = x

x = 63/3

x = 21
