First break= 1/2
second break = 1/2 of half= 1/4
third break = half of 1/4 = 1/8
forth break = 1/2 of 1/8 = 1/16
fifth break = 1/2 of 1/16 =1/32
fraction painted = 1 -1/32 =31/32
portion painted = 150*31/32 = 145.3125 ft^2

Jessica is walking home from a friend’s house. After 2 minutes she is 1.4 miles from home. Twelve minutes after leaving, she is
jonny [76]

let's say 12 min - 2 mins = 10 mins

and 1.4 mile - 0.9 miles = 0.5 miles

Jessica takes 10 mins to walk a distance of 0.5 miles

=> 10 mins*6 = 60 mins = 1 hour

=> 0.5 miles*6 = 3 miles

her rate is 3 miles per hour

Answer:

a + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that

(x + y)² = x² + 2xy + y²

           = x² + y² + 2xy

           = a + 2(4) = a + 8

What is the slope of the<br> points (4, -2) and (-4, -4)?
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

= 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the slope given two points by using the following formula

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

    = (-4 - -2)/(-4 -4)

   = (-4+2)/(-4-4)

   = -2/-8

  = 1/4

A toy manufacturer uses 90 pints of plastic to make 600 action figures. If they use 810 pints of plastic in an 8 hour shift, how
lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

The number per hour = 5400 ÷ 8 = 675 action figures

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- A toy manufacturer uses 90 pints of plastic to make 600 action figures

- they use 810 pints of plastic in an 8 hour shift

- To find how many action figures are made per hour we must to find

  how many action figures in an 8 hour shift and then find the number

  of the action figures per hour

∵ The toy manufacture  uses 90 pints of plastic to make 600 action

   figures

∵ They use 810 pints

- Lets find how many action figures are made by this numbers of pints

∴ 90/600 = 810/x ⇒ x is the number of action figures

- Use the cross multiplication to find x

∴ 90 x = 810 × 600

∴ 90 x = 486000 ⇒ divide both sides by 90

∴ x = 5400

∴ They will use 810 pints to make 5400 action figures

∵ They use 810 pints in an 8 hour shift

∴ They make 5400 action figures in 8 hours

- To find the number of the action figures per hour divide the number

  of them in 8 hours by 8

∴ The number per hour = 5400 ÷ 8 = 675 action figures
