Answer:

3/8 pounds of compost

Step-by-step explanation:

Find how much compost she'll put in each garden bed by dividing the number of pounds of compost by the number of garden beds:

3/8

This fraction cannot be simplified further, so the answer is 3/8.

She will put 3/8 pounds of compost into each garden bed

Which statement best explains the value of 16 − (−3)?
amm1812

Answer:

The additive inverse of −3 is +3, so 16 − (−3) = 19

negative 6 over 8 minus negative 1 over 8 = negative 5 over 8; therefore, the distance from A to B is absolute value of negative 5 over 8 equals negative 5 over 8 units

Because it is 3 units to the left of 2 on a horizontal number line

Step-by-step explanation:

The answers are the explanation.

Comment on the second question

Note that the second question asks for the distance from -6/8 to -1/8. Ordinarily, the distance from A to B would be computed as B - A. In this set of answer choices, it is computed as |A - B|. In the end, the result is the same.

Personally, I would compute the distance between points on a number line by subtracting the left point from the right point. Here, that would also correspond to B - A.

Comment on choosing 'word' answers

In a set of answers like these, one way to choose answers is simply to eliminate the ones that make a false statement. Often, you are left with only the correct answer choice.

For example, the statement "the additive inverse of -3 is -3" is a false statement, so the first two answer choices can be eliminated. Likewise, the statement 16 -(-3) = 13 is false, so that choice can be eliminated. The one remaining answer is the correct one.

Gina looked at the architectural plan of a room with four walls in which the walls meet each other at right angles. The length o
Lerok [7]

For a better understanding of the solution provided here, please find the diagram attached.

In the diagram, ABCD is the room.

AC is the diagonal whose length is 18.79 inches.

The length of wall AB is 17 inches.

From the given information, we have to determine the length of the BC, which is depicted a x, because for the room to be a square, the length of the wall AB must be equal to the length of the wall BC.

In order to determine the length of the wall BC, or x, we will have to employ the Pythagoras' Theorem here. Thus:

x=\sqrt{(AC)^2-(AB)^2}

x=\sqrt{(18.79)^2-(17)^2}\approx\sqrt{64.06} \approx8

Thus, BC\approx 8 inches

\therefore AB\neq BC and hence, the given room is not a square.

So basically you would take you your m which is 339 degrees greater than 3 so you would divide 339 by 3 and get 113 so your m= 113 degrees so for example the first question would be m<1 = 113 and so on so you would multiply 113 by the number it is greater than

Answer:

-1/20

Step-by-step explanation:

r/2 + s/r - r/4 + 1/5 =

= -1/2 + 0/(-1) - (-1)/4 + 1/5

= -1/2 + 1/4 + 1/5

= -10/20 + 5/20 + 4/20

= -5/20 + 4/20

= -1/20
