Answer:

3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us represent the total fabric as an integer = 1

Ellen divides a piece of fabric into 8 equal sections by drawing chalk lines.

= 1/8, hence each section = 1/8

Then she cuts off 5 of the sections to make into placemats.

This is written as: 5 sections × 1/8 = 5/8

The fraction of the fabric that is left is calculated as:

1 - 5/8

Lowest Common Denominator = 8

Hence: 8 - 5/8 = 3/8

The fraction of the fabric that is left is 3/8

Find all real zeros of t<br>f(x)=x-14x² + 47x-18​
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

x=3/7 and x= 3

Step-by-step explanation:

First simplify:

-14 x^2 +48x -18

divide everything by -2

-2(7 x^2 -24x +9) (Multiply the leading coefficient 7 by the constant 9)

-2 (x^2 -24x +63)

-2 [(x-3)(x-21)] Now divide the 7 that you multiplied earlier from 3 and 21

-2 [(x-3/7)(x-21/7)]

-2 [(7x-3)(x-3)]

Hence, the zeroes are 3/7 and 3

Hope this helps!
