Three ladders measure 5 3/4 meters, and 7 1/4 meters in length. What is the difference between the longest and shortest lengths?

7 1/4 - 5 3/4= 1 1/2 because you can either 1) change it into decimals: 7.25-5.75 and do simple subtraction or... 2) u can change the 7 to a 6 and add 4 to the numerator of 1/4 making the equation 6 5/4 - 5 3/4 = 1 2/4 which simplified to 1 1/2 I hope I didn’t confuse you! :))

Solve to indicated variable 16ak=-5 for a

damaskus [11]

The answer is
$\frac{ - 5}{16k} = a$
steps
#1) Try to leave a by itself by dividing any variable next to it
$\frac{16 ak = - 5 }{ 16k}$
you can only divided these variables as all these variables in the original equation. are being multiplied. The opposite if multiplication is division.

Evan is making a table that will be created in the shape of the figure below. The table top is a triangle attached to a rectangl

emmainna [20.7K]

Area of a triangle:
A (triangle )= 4 · 6 / 2 = 12 ft²
150 - 12 = 138 ft² ( the maximum area of the rectangle )
L = ?
W = 6 ft
A ( rectangle ) = L · W
L · 6 = 138
L = 138 : 6 = 23 ft.
Answer: the maximum length of the base of the rectangle he can build is 23 ft.

The diameter of a basketball rim is 18 inches. A standard basketball has a circumference of 30 inches. What is the distance betw

shusha [124]

We know that
circumference=2*pi*r-------> r=circumference/(2*pi)
circumference=30 in
r=circumference/(2*pi)------> 30/(2*pi)-----> 4.7746 in
the radius of a standard basketball is 4.77 in

the distance between the ball and the rim is equal to
radius of a basketball rim minus radius of a a standard basketball
radius of a basketball rim =18/2------> 9 in
radius of a a standard basketball=4.77 in


the distance between the ball and the rim=[9-4.77]------> 4.23 in

the answer is
4.23 in
