Answer:

1.5

- 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the opposite of a number, you just have to either add or remove a negative sign.

- 1.5 is negative, so the opposite of negative 1.5 is positive 1.5 or 1.5

3/4 is positive, so the opposite of positive 3/4 is negative 3/4 or - 3/4

I Hope That This Helps! :)

What is the length of the diagonal of a 10 foot by 8 foot rectangle?

zloy xaker [14]

Diagonal of a rectangle formula:

Diagonal = √l² + w²
Diagonal = √10² + 8²
Diagonal = √100 + 64
Diagonal = √164
Diagonal = 12.806 feet.

Or you can use the pythagorean theorem. The diagonal of a rectangle is the hypotenuse of a triangle.

a² + b² = c² ; where a and b represents the lengths of the triangle and c is the hypothenuse. In this case, the lengths are 10 ft and 8ft.

10² + 8² = 100 + 64 = 164 ; This represents c².
c = √c² = √164 = 12.806 ft

If 30 buses can carry 1,500 people, how many people can 5 buses carry? A 200 © 500 B 250 D 750

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 250 \ people}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's set up a proportion using the following setup.

$\frac {buses}{people}=\frac {buses}{people}$

We know 30 buses can carry 1,500 people.

$\frac {30 \ buses}{1500 \ people}=\frac {buses}{people}$

We don't know how many people 5 buses can carry, so we say 5 buses carry x people.

$\frac {30 \ buses}{1500 \ people}=\frac {5 \ buses}{x \ people}$

$\frac {30 }{1500 }=\frac {5 }{x }$

Cross multiply. Multiply the numerator of the first fraction by the second fraction's denominator. Then, multiply the first denominator by the second numerator.

$30*x=1500*5\\30x=7500$
