Answer: Choice B)
We have some value m and we're squaring it to get
To undo this and isolate m, we apply the square root to both sides
There are two solutions here. This is similar to how there are two solutions in something like (those two solutions being x = 5 and x = -5). Squaring any negative number leads to a positive result because
negative times negative = positive.
Answer: 3 2/3 Yards
Step-by-step Solution:
In order to solve this problem, you'll want to set up a conversion equation.
** 1 Yard = 3 Feet **
To convert these measurements you'll need to write this conversion factor as a conversion ratio. Your ratio will be 1 yard / 3 feet. This fraction is actually equal to 1, meaning we can multiply it by any number to convert the units without changing its value.
You can then solve by using simple division. I will attach a photo of the steps I did by hand.
** Canceling the units will help avoid confusion **
After you reach the 6th step, all you have to do to find your mixed number is see how many times 3 fits into 11.
3 can go into 11 3 times, with a remainder of 2. Your final answer should be 3 2/3 yards.
I hope this helps! c:
