Answer:

\frac{13}{15} m of fabric

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we add the meters of yellow fabric Aldo used with the meters of red fabric he used.

\frac{1}{5}+\frac{2}{3}

However, we have to find a common denominator between the two fractions first in order to add them together. We can do this by multiplying the numerator and denominator in 1/5 by 3, and then multiplying the numerator and denominator in 2/3 by 5.

Essentially, we're multiplying the values in each fraction by the other fraction's denominator.

\frac{1}{5} ⇒ x3 ⇒ \frac{3}{15}

\frac{2}{3} ⇒ x5 ⇒ \frac{10}{15}

Now, we add the two fractions.

\frac{3}{15} + \frac{10}{15}\\=\frac{13}{15}

I hope this helps!

The area of the smallest equilateral triangle with one vertex on each of the sides of the right triangle with side lengths and <
Gre4nikov [31]
Set up the given triangle on x-y coordinates with right angle at (0,0). So the two vertices are at (5,0) and (0,2sqrt{x} n]{3})

let (a,0) and (0,b) be two vertices of the<span> equilateral triangle. So the third vertex must be at </span>(\frac{a+\sqrt{3}b}{2} ,  \frac{b+\sqrt{3}a}{2} )

for a pt (x,y) on line sx+ty=1, the minimum of \sqrt{x^{2} + {y^{2} }
equals to \frac{1}{ \sqrt{ s^{2} +  t^{2} } }

smallest value happens at \frac{10 \sqrt{3} }{67}

so area is \frac{75\sqrt{3}}{67}

hence m=75, n=67, p=3
m+n+p = 75+67+3 = 145

Find the area of the figure shown. Use 3.14 to approximate pi
Nina [5.8K]
Alrighty

we gots 1/4 circle and paralellogram

area circle=pi times radius^2
area paralelogram=base times height


1/4 circle is
radius is 10 so
area part circle is 1/4 times pi times 10^2=100/4pi=25pi=78.5 m²

area paralllogram is
10 times 3 because 3 is height and 10 is base length or 30

30+78.5=108.5 m² is the area

If Keira spends $45 on petrol, 1/ 9 of the money on other items and 1 /5 of the money on clothes. How much money does she spend
gogolik [260]

Answer:

The money Keira spent on food is $31.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total money spent by Keira = $45

Things Keira spent money on:

1. Clothing

2. Food

3. Other items

Money spent on Clothing = 1/5 of total money

= 1/5 x $45

Money spent on Clothing = $9

Money spent on Other Items = 1/9 of total money

= 1/9 x $45

Money spent on Other Items = $5

Money spent of on Food = Money spent - (Money spent on clothing + other items)

Money spent on food = 45 - (9+5)

= 45 - 14

Money spent on food = $31

A plant foreman wanted to know how many hours had been spent on a particular project. He asked his supervisors to report the hou
anygoal [31]

Answer:

828.7 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer a question in which the total time has to be calculated of all the activities, first of all, all the times have to be converted to a single form. There are two types: decimals and fractions. Convert the fractions into decimals.

Department A = 202.50 hours.

Department B = 212 3⁄4 hours  = 212.75 hours.

Department C = 198.25 hours.

Department D = 215 1⁄5 hours = 215.20 hours.

Therefore, the total number of hours spent on this project by all four departments. is the sum of all the above numbers. 202.50 hours + 212.75 hours + 198.25 hours + 215.20 hours = 828.7 hours.

Therefore, the total time is 828.7 hours!!!

Someone help me please☹️
Levart [38]

Answer:

my best advice: look at the y-intercepts!

Step-by-step explanation:

when the equations are set out like this, the last number (in this case "+4" and "-2"), represents where they cross the y axis. this gives you a great place to start.

if you plot (0, 4) for the first equation, you can then move right one square and down one square to get the next point in the equation.

the next one starts with (0, -2) and goes right one square and up two
