Answer:
3/2 or 1 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
So 1/2 * 3 = 3/2 or 1.5 which as a fraction simplified is 1 1/2. Hope that helps!
Answer:
2a²
Step-by-step explanation:
Pair 'like' terms with 'like' terms, ie numbers go with numbers, and 'a's go with 'a's.
Lets deal with the top of the fraction first:
4ax3a³
Rearrange it so you have numbers beside numbers and 'a's beside 'a's:
(4x3)x(axa³)
12x(a⁴) <em>(because nᵃxnᵇ=nᵃ⁺ᵇ)</em>
12a⁴
Now, instead of (4ax3a³)/6a², we have 12a⁴/6a²
First divide the numbers: 12/6 =2
Now divide the 'a' parts: a⁴/a²=a² <em>(because nᵃ/nᵇ=nᵃ⁻ᵇ)</em>
Now we have 2a²
Answer:
39.25 cubic feet of paint will be needed by Ellis.
Step-by-step explanation:
Volume of a cylinder:
The volume of a cylinder of radius r and height h is given by:
How much paint will Ellis need to paint all the surfaces of the 10 fenceposts?
This is the combined volume of these 10 fenceposts.
They are each 5 feet tall and have a diameter of 1 foot.
Radius is half the diameter, so 
. Also 
10 fenceposts:
Each has the same volume, so:
39.25 cubic feet of paint will be needed by Ellis.
Assume that the length of the rectangle is "l" and that the width is "w".
We are given that:
(1) The length is one more than twice the base. This means that:
l = 2w + 1 .......> equation I
(2) The perimeter is 92 cm. This means that:
92 = 2(l+w) ...........> equation II
Substitute with equation I in equation II to get the width as follows:
92 = 2(l+w)
92 = 2(2w+1+w)
92/2 = 3w + 1
46 = 3w + 1
3w = 46-1 = 45
w = 45/3
w = 15
Substitute with w in equation I to get the length as follows:
l = 2w + 1
l = 2(15) + 1
l = 30 + 1 = 31
Based on the above calculations:
length of base = 31 cm
width of base = 15 cm
