X = measure of each of the legs
"perimeter is 8 more than 2 times one of the legs" ---> P = 2x+8
P = 28 is the given perimeter

So,
P = 2x+8
28 = 2x+8
2x+8 = 28
2x = 20
x = 10

If x = 10, then the two legs add up to x+x = 10+10 = 20
Leaving P-20 = 28-20 = 8 inches left over for the base

You have the correct answer (choice D, 8 inches) though your steps are a bit confusing at some parts. Such as the part where you wrote 2x = 10 twice. I think I know what you were trying to say.

Predict if the product will be greater than, less than or equal to the second factor 4/5 x 1 2/5 = y

Radda [10]

Answer:

The product will be less than the second factor.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression

$\frac{4}{5}\:\times \:1\frac{2}{5}\:=y$

solving to determine the product value

$y=\:\frac{4}{5}\times \:\:1\frac{2}{5}$

$=\frac{4}{5}\times \frac{7}{5}$

$\mathrm{Apply\:the\:fraction\:rule}:\quad \frac{a}{b}\times \frac{c}{d}=\frac{a\:\times \:c}{b\:\times \:d}$

$=\frac{4\times \:7}{5\times \:5}$

$=\frac{28}{5\times \:5}$

$=\frac{28}{25}$

As the value of the second factor is:

$1\frac{2}{5}=\frac{7}{5}=1.4$

And the product value is:

$y=\frac{28}{25}=1.12$

It is clear that the product value 'y = 1.12' is lesser than the second factor value '1.4'.

i.e. 1.12 < 1.4

Thus, the product will be less than the second factor.
