Answer:

Yes, she is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation,

-5\frac{1}{8}n = -9\frac{3}{4}

(-5-\frac{1}{8})n=-9-\frac{3}{4}

\frac{(-40-1)n}{8}=\frac{-36-3}{4}

-\frac{41}{8}n =-\frac{39}{4}

-41\times 4n = -39\times 8

\implies n =\frac{39\times 2}{41}=\frac{78}{41}=1\frac{37}{41}

By estimation :

Since, 1/8 = 0.125 ≈ 0, while, 3/4 = 0.75 ≈ 1

⇒ -5\frac{1}{8}\approx -5

And, -9\frac{3}{4}\approx -10

-5n = -10\implies n =\frac{-10}{-5}=2

Since, 1\frac{37}{41} is near to 2.

Hence, she is correct.

Ahh could i get sum help?
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

8/35 cubic inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume is length x width x height. To find the answer, we must multiply all values together. 2/3 times 3/5 ix 6/15. Let's simplify this before multiplying further. 6/15 can also be written as 2/5. 2/5 times 4/7 is 8/35 which cannot be simplified. 8/35 is the final answer.

Given right triangle QRS, what is the value of sin(30°)? StartFraction StartRoot 3 EndRoot Over 3 EndFraction One-half StartFrac
baherus [9]

Answer:

Option 2: \sin(30)=\frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

From the triangle shown below;

A triangle QRS with angle QRS = 90°, ∠QSR = 30°.

Side QR = 5, SQ = 10 and RS = 5√3

Now, we know from trigonometric ratio that,

\sin (A) = \frac{Opposite\ side}{Hypotenuse}

Here, opposite side of angle QSR is QR and Hypotenuse is the side opposite angle QRS which is SQ. Therefore,

\sin(\angle QSR)=\dfrac{QR}{SQ}\\\\\\\sin(30)=\dfrac{5}{10}\\\\\\\sin(30)=\dfrac{5}{2\times 5}=\dfrac{1}{2}

Therefore, the value of sine of 30° is one-half. So, second option is correct.
