Answer:

4\frac{1}{2} feet further.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since these are mixed numbers that are both in fourths, we can easily subtract the two numbers. However, I find it easier if we first convert both mixed numbers into improper fractions.

5\frac{1}{4} = \frac{5\cdot4+1}{4}  = \frac{21}{4}

9\frac{3}{4} = \frac{9\cdot4+3}{4}  = \frac{39}{4}

Now we can subtract the numerators:

\frac{39}{4} - \frac{21}{4} = \frac{39-21}{4} = \frac{18}{4}

\frac{18}{4} simplifies down to \frac{9}{2}.

Converting  \frac{9}{2} to a mixed number is easy - 2 goes into 9 4 times (8) with one remainder so:

4\frac{1}{2} .

Hope this helped!

Find the total surface area of the prism.<br><br> 13 in.<br> 9 in.<br> 15 in.<br><br> Need asap
natta225 [31]

Answer:

The surface area of a rectangular prism with length of

15, a width of 9 and a height of 13 is:

894.0000 square units.

not sure

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the surface area, use this rectangular prism surface area

formula:

Surface Area =

[(Length x Width) + (Length x Height) + (Width x Height)] x 2

Example: The surface area of a rectangular prism with length of

3 inches, width of 4 inches, and height of 5 inches:

Surface Area = [(3 x 4) + (3 x 5) + (4 x 5)] x 2

Calculated out this gives a surface area of 94 Square Inches.

Can somebody help me with this?​
Ghella [55]

Answer:

x=11

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a 90º angle, 46º+(4x)º has to equal 90º, and you can make and solve an equation for this:

46+4x=90

4x=44

x=11

Check:

46+4x=90

46+4(11)=90

46+44=90

90=90

Which of the following shows the Commutative Property of Addition? (4 + 3) + x = (3 + 4) + x ab = ba r + (s + t) = (r + s) + t n
Novosadov [1.4K]
Commutative says you can add or multiply in any order

basically goes like this
a+b=b+a or
ab=ba

so what we need is something where the order change, nothing else
first one: (4+3)+x=(3+4)+x, the order changed, correct

2nd
ab=ba, this is not addition

3rd
r+(s+t)=(r+s)+t this is associative property

4th
n+0=n
this is zero addition property



answer is first one
