Answer:

14 1/8 inches of molding

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the solution, we'll have to do 2 fractions subtractions.

To be able to subtract fractions, we have to make sure they are placed in the same denominator.  So, the first thing we'll do is to convert all the numbers in 8th, because that's the greatest denominator.

48 \frac{1}{2}  = 48 \frac{4}{8} = \frac{(48 * 8) + 4}{8}  = \frac{388}{8}

10 \frac{1}{4} = 10 \frac{2}{8} = \frac{(10 * 8) + 2}{8} = \frac{82}{8}

For the last one, we'll first convert the 2 feet into 24 inches.

24 \frac{1}{8} = \frac{(24 * 8) + 1}{8} = \frac{193}{8}

Now, we'll subtract each of the two pieces cut from the original molding's length, first the 10 1/4 inches piece

\frac{388}{8} - \frac{82}{8} = \frac{388 - 82}{8} = \frac{306}{8}

then the 2 feet 1/8 piece

\frac{306}{8} -  \frac{193}{8} = \frac{306 - 193}{8} = \frac{113}{8} = 14 \frac{1}{8}

So,  the contractor is left with 14 1/8 inches of molding.

How do i solve for x?
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

We can see that the the 32 degree angle plus the equation (9x + 4) is equal to 90 degrees.

We know this because the bottom line is a 180 degree angle, and we can see on the other side that it is a right angle.

If we were to turn that into an equation it would like like this:

(9x + 4) + 32 = 90

Now you just have to solve for x.

9x + 4 + 32 = 90

Combine like terms:

9x + 36 = 90

Subtract 36 from both sides

9x = 54

divide both sides by 9

x = 6

and you are left with the answer.

Answer:

<u>18.8%</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

For calculating this, focus on one part of the table :

  • The row where students do not like sandwiches

There are 32 students who do not like sandwiches, and 6 of them do not like pies. Take this a proportion :

  • P (does not like pies, do not like sandwiches) = 6/32
  • P = 3/16
  • P = <u>18.8%</u>

The length of a rectangle is (x+3) inches long,and the width is 3⅖ inches.If the area is 15 3/10 square inches,write an equation
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

(x + 3) = 9/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to write an equation to find the length of the rectangle

Mathematically;

Area of rectangle = length * breadth

15 3/10 = (x + 3) * 3 2/5

(x + 3) = 15 3/10 divided by 3 2/5

(x + 3) = 153/10 * 5/17

(x + 3) = 9/2
