To answer this, we need to convert to the least common multiple.

The least common multiple of 2/3 and 5/8 is 24.

2 x 8 = 16 / 24

5 x 3 = 15 / 24

Malinda's family walked farther than Owen's family.

Explain how to multiply the following whole numbers 21 x 14
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

\begin{matrix}\space\space&\textbf{2}&\textbf{1}\\ \times \:&1&\textbf{4}\end{matrix}

________

\frac{\begin{matrix}\space\space&\textbf{0}&8&4\\ +&\textbf{2}&1&0\end{matrix}}{\begin{matrix}\space\space&\textbf{2}&9&4\end{matrix}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

21\:\times \:14

Line up the numbers

\begin{matrix}\space\space&2&1\\ \times \:&1&4\end{matrix}

Multiply the top number by the bottom number one digit at a time starting with the ones digit left(from right to left right)

Multiply the top number by the bolded digit of the bottom number

\begin{matrix}\space\space&\textbf{2}&\textbf{1}\\ \times \:&1&\textbf{4}\end{matrix}

Multiply the bold numbers:    1×4=4

\frac{\begin{matrix}\space\space&2&\textbf{1}\\ \times \:&1&\textbf{4}\end{matrix}}{\begin{matrix}\space\space&\space\space&4\end{matrix}}

Multiply the bold numbers:    2×4=8

\frac{\begin{matrix}\space\space&\textbf{2}&1\\ \times \:&1&\textbf{4}\end{matrix}}{\begin{matrix}\space\space&8&4\end{matrix}}

Multiply the top number by the bolded digit of the bottom number

\frac{\begin{matrix}\space\space&\textbf{2}&\textbf{1}\\ \times \:&\textbf{1}&4\end{matrix}}{\begin{matrix}\space\space&8&4\end{matrix}}

Multiply the bold numbers:    1×1=1

\frac{\begin{matrix}\space\space&\space\space&2&\textbf{1}\\ \space\space&\times \:&\textbf{1}&4\end{matrix}}{\begin{matrix}\space\space&\space\space&8&4\\ \space\space&\space\space&1&\space\space\end{matrix}}

Multiply the bold numbers:    2×1=2

\frac{\begin{matrix}\space\space&\space\space&\textbf{2}&1\\ \space\space&\times \:&\textbf{1}&4\end{matrix}}{\begin{matrix}\space\space&\space\space&8&4\\ \space\space&2&1&\space\space\end{matrix}}

Add the rows to get the answer. For simplicity, fill in trailing zeros.

\frac{\begin{matrix}\space\space&\space\space&2&1\\ \space\space&\times \:&1&4\end{matrix}}{\begin{matrix}\space\space&0&8&4\\ \space\space&2&1&0\end{matrix}}

adding portion

\begin{matrix}\space\space&0&8&4\\ +&2&1&0\end{matrix}

Add the digits of the right-most column: 4+0=4

\frac{\begin{matrix}\space\space&0&8&\textbf{4}\\ +&2&1&\textbf{0}\end{matrix}}{\begin{matrix}\space\space&\space\space&\space\space&\textbf{4}\end{matrix}}

Add the digits of the right-most column: 8+1=9

\frac{\begin{matrix}\space\space&0&\textbf{8}&4\\ +&2&\textbf{1}&0\end{matrix}}{\begin{matrix}\space\space&\space\space&\textbf{9}&4\end{matrix}}

Add the digits of the right-most column: 0+2=2

\frac{\begin{matrix}\space\space&\textbf{0}&8&4\\ +&\textbf{2}&1&0\end{matrix}}{\begin{matrix}\space\space&\textbf{2}&9&4\end{matrix}}

Therefore,

\begin{matrix}\space\space&\textbf{2}&\textbf{1}\\ \times \:&1&\textbf{4}\end{matrix}

________

\frac{\begin{matrix}\space\space&\textbf{0}&8&4\\ +&\textbf{2}&1&0\end{matrix}}{\begin{matrix}\space\space&\textbf{2}&9&4\end{matrix}}

Corinne solved the equation below:
tia_tia [17]

Answer: she is NOT correct the answer should be X= 19

How?:

the equation was 5x = 95

the 5 and x is being multiplied the opposite of multiplication is dividing

so 95/5= 19

therefor x= 19 and NOT 90

The two triangle­shaped gardens are congruent. Find all of the missing side lengths and angle measures. Show any necessary work
pantera1 [17]
The two figures are in the file attached.

Congruency means that all the respcetive sides and angles are equals.

Then, the three angles are :

y = 38°

x = 90°

w = 180° - 90° - 38° = 52


The three sides are:

z= 10yd
v= 7.9yd
u=6.2yd


You have all the measures as a function of yd, but you do not have any information about yd, then it is not possible to find the real lenghts.

All you can tell is that the sides obey Pythagoream theorem:

u^2 + v^2 = z^2   

But that is not enough to find one side, because you do not know any of them.

For example if you apply Pytagorean theorem you cand do"

(7.9yd)^2 + (6.2)^2 = (10yd)^2

but that cannot be solved for yd, because they are factors of all the terms in both sides, which mean that they cancel to obtain:

(7.9)^2 + (6.2)^2 = (10)^2, which is not any new information.

Also you can think about sine theorem, but it does not help, because you also need one side.


Then you only can tell the missing angles, as I have shown, but not the misssing lengths.

Quetion to represent each problem the sum of 15 and six times a number tea is 80 One what is the number
andrew-mc [135]

Answer: 11

Step-by-step explanation: The sum of 15 and six times t will be 15 + 6t = 81.

Now, you subtract 15 from both sides to isolate the constants from the variables on the left side and on the other side and you will end up with 6t = 66. Then, you divide 6 from both sides to finally isolate the numbers from the variable and 66 divided by 6 would equal 11


Hope this Helps :)
