Answer: 1/40 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

1 orange weighs 1/5 pound

since if has been cut into 8 slices, then 1 out of those slices is 1/8

Let x = weigh of 1/8 slices.

We can solve this using proportion

1/5 pounds = 1 orange

x = 1/8 orange

Lets cross multiply

x = 1/5 × 1/8

x = 1/40 pound.

Therefore each slice weigh 1/40 pound

Find the greatest common factor: 24y^8 + 6y^6
Marrrta [24]

Find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF)

<u>GCF = 6y^6</u>

Factor out the GCF. (Write the GCF first. Then, in parenthesis divide each term by the GCF.)

6y^6(24y^8/6y^6 + 6y^6/6y^6)

Simplify each term in parenthesis

<u>6y^6(4y^2 + 1)</u>

The residents of a city voted on whether to raise property taxes. The ratio of yes votes to no votes was 5 to 3 . If there were
Alchen [17]

Answer:

There were 2747 yes votes.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved using proportions.

The ratio of yes votes to no votes was 5 to 3 .

This means that for each 5 + 3 = 8 votes, 5 were yes and 3 were no.

If there were 4395 total votes, how many yes votes were there?

For each 8 votes, we have 5 yes. How many yes votes were there in 4395 votes?

5 yes - 8 votes

x yes - 4395 votes

8x = 4395*5

x = 4395*5/8

x = 2747

There were 2747 yes votes.

Cound someone please help me on this, I'm stuck. ​
Katyanochek1 [597]

Negative exponents work like this:

a^{-b}=\dfrac{1}{a^b}

So, in order to evaluate a negative exponent, you simply have to invert the base, and then raise to the positive equivalent of the exponent.

As an example, here are the first three exercises:

8^{-3}=\dfrac{1}{8^3}=\dfrac{1}{512}

(-4)^{-5}=\dfrac{1}{(-4)^5}=-\dfrac{1}{1024}

2k^{-4}=\dfrac{2}{k^4}

You can work out the rest applying this logic.

lets say you have two line segments , ab and cd which bisects each other at point E. explain why ac = ab
Bond [772]

Answer:

When a line segment is bisected into 2 halves, the two halves are equal. In this case, when AB is bisected by CD, AE and BE would be equal and each point on CD should be equidistant from point A and point B. Therefore, AC = AB.
