Answer:

37.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the shorter piece be x and the longer piece be 5x.

Short piece + Long piece = 285 inches

x + 5x = 225

6x = 225

x = 225 ÷ 6

x = 37.5

1/2,1/3,1/8 find the sum
Zarrin [17]

Answer:

23/24

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the sum you must ad.

Fractions can only be added and subtracted when the denominators (the bottom numbers) are the same.

24 is the smallest number that 2, 3 and 8 go into.

1/2 = 12/24, 1/3 = 8/24, 1/8 = 3/24

\frac{12}{24} + \frac{8}{24} + \frac{3}{24} = \frac{23}{24}

23/24

Can someone help me please ?? :)
ki77a [65]
The answer would be 1/8 because when 1/8 is divide into the endpoints of AB you will recieve 1/8 of the endpoint numbers. Like 1/8 of 4 would be written as 1/8 times 4/1 since its a fraction multiply 1 times 4 and 8 times 1 to get 4/8. 4 goes into 4 one time and into 8 2 times giving you 1/2. Hope this helped.

Firdavs [7]
I think to solve this problem you would have to divide 276 by 2 and 336 by 2 to get the costs per ticket. Then you would compare the costs and see which ticket costs or charges more.

Which relationship describes angles 1 and 2?
MissTica
<span>1) supplementary angles => sum of angles' measure is 180°


Two lines intersecting creating four angles with the left obtuse angle labeled one and the acute angle to the right labeled two

= > angle 1 +  angle 2 = 180°

Then those two match.


2) complementary angles => sum of the two angles = 90°

Two lines intersecting in a right angle with a square indicating a right angle in quadrant one and a ray splitting quadrant two with a two labeling the left angle and one labeling the angle on the right

=> angle 2 + angle 1 = 90°

Then those two match

3) vertical angles

Two parallel horizontal lines intersected by a vertical line with a square indicating a right angle in quadrant one of the top line and a one labeling the angle in quadrant two and two labeling quadrant four of the top line

Those two matches because the angle label 1 and the angle label 2 are vertical angles as per the definittion.

4) adjacent angles

Two lines intersecting in a V shape with the left angle of one hundred fifty seven degrees and a bottom angle of X degrees

Those two match becasue the angle of 157° and the angle of X° are adjacent.
