Answer:
2nd debate was 3 hours long.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that during the mayoral election,two debates were held between the candidates. The first debate lasted 1 2/3 hours. The second one was 1 4/5 times as long as the first one.
Let us find the estimate of time spent on 2nd debate.
1 2/3 hours would be approximately 2 hours. 1 4/5 times would be equal to 2 times.
Therefore, the estimated time is less 4 hours.
To find the time spent on 2nd debate, we will multiply 1 2/3 by 1 4/5.
First of all, we will convert mixed fractions into improper fractions as:
Now, we will multiply both fractions as:
Therefore, the 2nd debate was 3 hours long.

<u>Answer:</u>
Lengths of the sides (there are 3 sides in an equilateral triangle) of the base of prism is <u>5.72cm </u>each.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
As the base of triangular prism is equilateral:
∴ Area of base = (√ 3 / 4)× (side)²
According to question:
height of prism = height (side) of base
Volume of prism = 81 cm³,
∴ Volume of prism = Area of base x height
⇒ 81 cm³ = (√ 3 / 4)× (side)² × height ∵ side = height
⇒ 81 cm³ = (√ 3 / 4)× (side)³
⇒ 81 × (4/√3) cm³ = side³
⇒ ∛(81 × (4/√3) cm = side
⇒ side = <u>5.72cm</u>

Answer: $2400</h3>
========================================================
Explanation:
x = Mason's salary in dollars for that month
x/6 = one-sixth of his salary
x/6+800 = total amount spent (the x/6 dollars and $800 combined)
In total, he spent half his salary. This means he spent x/2 dollars for the month overall.
Set the two items equal to one another. Solve for x.
x/6 + 800 = x/2
6(x/6 + 800) = 6*(x/2) ... see note at the bottom of the page
x+4800 = 3x
4800 = 3x-x
4800 = 2x
2x = 4800
x = 4800/2
x = 2400
His monthly salary is $2400
1/6 of this is (1/6)*2400 = 2400/6 = 400 dollars. Add on the $800 he also spent to get a total of 400+800 = 1200 dollars spent, which is exactly one half of the $2400. The answer is confirmed.

Note: I multiplied both sides by 6 to clear out the fractions. The value 6 is the LCD in this case.
