Each piece will be the same length.  We can convert 5 1/2 into an improper fraction.  5 1/2 = 11 / 2  Divide 66 by this improper fraction.  66 / (11 / 2)  When we divide by a fraction, we multiply by the reciprocal of that fraction. 66 * (2 / 11) = 2 * 6 = 12  12 pieces can be cut.

Solve for m:<br> 2r= m/r <br><br><br> m = 2r<br> m = 2r squared by 2<br> m=r<br> m = 2
Bad White [126]
Solution

Switch sides so that m is on the left side

m/r = 2r

Them multiply both sides by r

mr/r = 2rr

Now simplify the equation

m = 2r^2

Therefore the equation evaluates to
m = 2r squared by 2

If p + q = 36, and p -q = 20, then q = ?
Andrew [12]

Answer:

q = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

p + q = 36 → (1)

p - q = 20 → (2)

Add the 2 equations term by term

2p = 56 ( divide both sides by 2 )

p = 28

Substitute p = 28 into (1)

28 + q = 36 ( subtract 28 from both sides )

q = 8
