Answer:

2 1/6 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

A carpenter has a board that is 8 feet long. He cuts off two pieces. One piece is 3 1/2 feet long and the other is 2 1/3 feet long. How much of the board is left?

Total length of the board = 8 feet

Piece A = 3 1/2 feet

Piece B = 2 1/3 feet

Piece A + piece B

= 3 1/2 feet + 2 1/3 feet

= 7/2 + 7/3

= (21+14) / 6

= 35/6

= 5 5/6 feet

Length of the board remaining = Total length of the board - length of the two pieces

= 8 feet - 35/6 feet

= (48-35) / 6

= 13/6 feet

= 2 1/6 feet

Length of the board remaining = 2 1/6 feet

Answer:

\large\boxed{1\dfrac{16}{19}}

Step-by-step explanation:

5\div2\dfrac{5}{7}\qquad\text{convert the mixed number to improper fraction}\\\\2\dfrac{5}{7}=\dfrac{2\cdot7+5}{7}=\dfrac{19}{7}\\\\=5\div\dfrac{19}{7}=5\cdot\dfrac{7}{19}=\dfrac{(5)(7)}{19}=\dfrac{35}{19}=1\dfrac{16}{19}

4. Solve the following inequality: 3y-1 less than 3
mylen [45]

3y - 1 < 3


Isolate the y. Treat the less than or equal like an equal sign.

Do the opposite of PEMDAS. First, add 1 to both sides

3y - 1 (+1) < 3 (+1)

3y < 4

Next, divide 3 from both sides

3y/3 < 4/3

y < 4/3

y < 4/3 is your answer

hope this helps

-4x to the power of 2 y × -3xy to the power of 3
denis23 [38]

- 4x^2y * 3xy^3

multiply the numbers : 4*3 = 12

-12x^2xy^3y

apply exponent rule : x^2x = x^2+1 = x^3

-12x^3y^3y

apply exponent rule again : y^3y = y^1+3 = y^4

answer : -12x^3y^4

Find two numbers that Multiply to -40 and add to 6
Tanzania [10]
Reorder the terms: 6.25 + -5y + y^2 = -14 + 6.25

Combine like terms: -14 + 6.25 = -7.75 6.25 + -5y + y2 = -7.75

Factor a perfect square on the left side: (y + -2.5)(y + -2.5) = -7.75

Can't calculate square root of the right side (negative). The solution to this equation could not be determined.

Find the measure of the missing angles.
sasho [114]

Answer:

<h2><u><em>c = 23°</em></u></h2><h2><u><em>b = 157°</em></u></h2>

<u><em>watch the picture</em></u>

<u><em></em></u>

Step-by-step explanation:

sum of all angles = 360°

c = 23° (opposite vertical angles so congruent)

b = (360° - 23 - 23) : 2    (opposite vertical angles so congruent)

b = 314 : 2

b = 157

----------------------

check

23 + 23 + 157 + 157 = 360°

the answer is good
