Simplify the expression. -5/8(-3/8-1/4) ​

Mathematics
1 answer:
prisoha [69]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

25/64

Step-by-step explanation:

To get this answer, first you need to use the distributive property:

(-3/8)(-5/8) - (1/4)(-5/8)

Next, multiply:

15/64 - (-5/32)

Change the negative signs into a positive sign:

15/64 + 5/32

Multiply 5/32 by 2 on both top and bottom:

15/64 + (5)(2)/(32)(2)

You will then get:

15/64 + 10/64

Now, add the numerators. You will get:

25/64

This is your answer. I hope it helped!

The volume of a sphere is 2145 cubic centimeters. What is the approximate diameter of this sphere?
eimsori [14]

Answer:

d = 2(40.11 cm) = 80.22 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for volume of a sphere is V = (4/3)πr³

and here V = (4/3)πr³ = 2145 cm³

Let's simplify this equation by multiplying both sides by (3/4); this will cause (4/3) to disappear:

(3/4)(4/3)πr³ = (3/4)2145 cm³, or

                 r³ = 1608.75 cm³

Taking the cube root of both sides, we get:

                  r = 40.11 cm

Remembering that diameter = 2 times radius, we calculate the diameter:

                  d = 2(40.11 cm) = 80.22 cm

It is impossible to create a square pyramid by rotating a shape about an axis because its base is not ________.
natta225 [31]
It is impossible because it's base is not circular. A solid of revolution is <span>obtained by rotating a </span>plane curve<span> around some </span>straight line, that is, <span>the </span>axis of revolution that lies on the same plane. The closest to a square pyramid applying this concept is by rotating a right triangle around the opposite or adjacent side (the axis), but the shape that you get is a straight circular cone.

In a class of 42 students the number of boys is 2/5 of the girls . find the number of boys and girls
Ksju [112]
In plain and short, we simply divide 42 by (2+5) and distribute accordingly.

\bf \cfrac{boys}{girls}\qquad 2:5\qquad \cfrac{2\cdot \frac{42}{2+5}}{5\cdot \frac{42}{2+5}}\implies \cfrac{2\cdot 6}{5\cdot 6}\implies \cfrac{12}{30}

Will give brainlliest :&gt;
Goshia [24]

Answer:

48 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>1) Solve for x</u>

Complementary angles add up to 90 degrees. Therefore, m<A + m<B is equal to 90:

A+B=90\\(2x+20)+(3x)=90

Open up the parentheses

2x+20+3x=90\\5x+20=90

Subtract 20 from both sides

5x+20-20=90-20\\5x=70

Divide both sides by 5

\frac{5x}{5} =\frac{70}{5} \\x=14

Therefore, x is equal to 14.

<u>2) Determine angle A</u>

A=2x+20

Substitute x with 14

A=2(14)+20\\A=28+20\\A=48

Therefore, the measure of angle A in degrees is 48 degrees.

I hope this helps!
