Tia measured a greeting card and found that it was 1 decimeter long. How many centimeters are in 1 decimeter?

Advocard [28]

Answer:

10 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

1 decimeter is equal to 10⁻¹ meters.

1 meter is equal to 10² centimeters. We can use a conversion fraction to find the centimeters corresponding to 10⁻¹ meters.

10⁻¹ m × (10²cm/1 m) = 10 cm

1 dm = 10⁻¹ m

10⁻¹ m = 10 cm

Due to the transitive property, 1 decimeter is equal to 10 centimeters.

Solve for k 5/8(3k+1)-1/4(7k+2)=1

lesya [120]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\dfrac{5}{8}(3k+1)-\dfrac{1}{4}(7k+2)=1\qquad\text{multiply both sides by 8}\\\\8\!\!\!\!\diagup^1\cdot\dfrac{5}{8\!\!\!\!\diagup_1}(3k+1)-8\!\!\!\!\diagup^2\cdot\dfrac{1}{4\!\!\!\!\diagup_1}(7k+2)=8\cdot1\\\\5(3k+1)-2(7k+2)=8\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\ a(b+c)=ab+ac\\\\(5)(3k)+(5)(1)+(-2)(7k)+(-2)(2)=8\\\\15k+5-14k-4=8\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\\\(15k-14k)+(5-4)=8\\\\k+1=8\qquad\text{subtract 1 from both sides}\\\\k=7$
