1/8th is the fraction that is equal to six
Number 19 you are comparing one measurement to another. Since it says 1/2 inch equals 4 ft, we want to find out how many more inches are needed if the given scale was 2/3 = 4 ft. Now lets find a common denominator for both scales stated in inches. We have 2/3 inch and 1/2 inch. Our denominator are the bottom parts of the fraction where we need to find a common factor for the denominator so we can add or subtract fractions. We have a 3 and a 2. You may always use the multiplication between two denominators to find a common factor such as 3 times 2 which equals 6 for both denominators. Now we multiplied the 3 by 2 to get 6 so the top part (numerator needs to be multiplied the the 2 because we changed the bottom part by 2 as well. You should notice that when you reduce your fraction now 4/6 is 2/3. Just a self check example there. As for 1/2 we multiplied a 3 to get 6 for the denominator so we need to multiply the numerator by 3 as well. You now should have 4/6 and 3/6. Since the question asks for how many more inches we need to subtract 4/6 from 3/6 and we get 1/6 inch for our answer.
Answer: 2 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
<h3>Answer: 1.15</h3>
==============================================================
Work Shown:
QR = 73
QP = 55
PR = x
Pythagorean Theorem
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
(QP)^2 + (PR)^2 = (QR)^2
(55)^2 + (x)^2 = (73)^2
3025 + x^2 = 5329
x^2 = 5329-3025
x^2 = 2304
x = sqrt(2304)
x = 48
PR = 48
----------
tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent
tan(R) = QP/PR
tan(R) = 55/48
tan(R) = 1.1458333 approximately
tan(R) = 1.15
