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

d1i1m1o1n [39]

The initial value is 21 and rate of change is 16 pages per week

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that After writing part of his novel, Thomas is now writing 16 pages per week

After 4 weeks, he has written 85 pages.

Given that assume the relationship to be linear

Linear relationships can be expressed either in a graphical format or as a mathematical equation of the form y = mx + c

y = mx + c

where "y" is the number of pages written after 4 weeks

x = 4 weeks and m = 16 pages

Therefore,

85 = 16(4) + c

85 = 64 + c

c = 85 - 64

c = 21

Therefore, initial value is 21 and rate of change is 16 pages per week

14.3p – 32.24 = 127.92 14.3p – 32.24 + 32.24 = 127.92 + 32.24 14.3p = 160.16 StartFraction 14.3 p Over 14.3 EndFraction equals S
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

p = 11.2

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Data provided in the question

2.6(5.5p – 12.4) = 127.92

Now

Distributive Propertyis

14.3p - 32.24 = 127.92

Addition Property is

14.3p = 127.92 + 32.24

Division Property is

14.3p ÷ 14.3 = 160.16 ÷ 14.3

p = 11.2

We simply find the value of p by applying the distributive property, addition property, and the division property and the same is to be considered

The morning temp. In Atlanta, Georgia is 21 1/4 degrees. During the day it warms up 6 2/7 degrees. What is the new temp
pogonyaev

Answer:

27 15/28 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are adding 21 1/4 to 6 2/7, we need to find the LCD, or, least common denominator, so that we can add 1/4 and 2/7 together.

1*4=4             1*7=7

2*4=8           2*7=14

3*4=12          3*7=21

4*4=16          <u>4*7=28</u>

5*4=20

6*4=24

<u>7*4=28</u>

Since we had to multiply 7 four times to get it equal to 28, we need to take 2/7 * 4/4. This will give you 8/28. Then, since we multiplied 4 seven times to get it equal to 28, we need to take 1/4 *7/7. This will give you 7/28. Finally, you need to add 8/28 and 7/28 since they now share the same denominator.

8/28 + 7/28=15/28

For our last step, we need to add the whole numbers together so the answer is complete.

21+6=27

27+15/28= 27 15/28 degrees
