To find the length of the wire, use the Pythagorean theorem
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
18^2 + 40^2 = c ^2
324 + 1600 = c^2
1924 = c^2
44 = c
The wire is approximately 44 feet.
1. You convert all the numbers into decimals.
a. For 8 1/9 you multiply 8x9 and add the numerator which in this case is one, so the equation would be 8x9=72 then 72+1= 73
b. For 81/10 I used a calculator for accuracy and I just divided 81 by 10 because the fraction line can also be used as a division sign. For this I got 8.1
2. Now I looked at all the numbers I had including the fractions I converted to decimals... 8.115, 8.55, 73, and 8.1
3. Lastly, I put the numbers in order from least to greatest: 8.1, 8.115, 8.55, and 73
4. In order to figure out which one is the smallest and largest, I just added zeros on the end of the numbers so they would all be the same: 8.1-->8.100, 8.115 I kept the same because it already had 3 decimal places, 8.55--> 8.550, and 73--> 73.000
5. Then i could tell which number was the largest by the decimal place numbers.
**Hope this was helpful... It's kind of hard to explain online but hopefully you have a better understanding of how to do it!**
Let x be the no of boxes.
120x = 14501
x = 14501/120
Upon division the quotient +1 = The no of boxes required and
The remainder is the amount of popcorn in the last box
No of boxes = 121 boxes
Kernels in the last box = 101 kernels
The answer to the problem i^3 is -i
The answer is x = z/w - c/w
