If you add the whole number to the whole number part of the mixed number, and then add the fraction from the mixed number on to the end of that, you get a new mixed number which is your answer.
Hello,
-3/7*x=-25/18
==>x=-25/18*(-7/3)
==>x=175/54
<span>(A) Find the approximate length of the plank. Round to the nearest tenth of a foot.
Given that the distance of the ground is 3ft.
In order to get the length of the plank,
we can use the this one.
cos 49 = ground / plank
cos 49 = 3 / plank
plank = cos 49 / 3
plank = 0.10 ft
</span><span>(b) Find the height above the ground where the plank touches the wall. Round to the nearest tenth of a foot.
</span><span>
The remaining angle is equal to
angle = 180 - (90+49)
angle = 41
Finding the height.
tan 41 = height / ground
tan 41 = height / 3
height = tan 41 / 3
height = 0.05 ft.
(A) 0.10 feet
(B) 0.05 feet</span>
