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

Are the following figures similar? Rectangles ABCD and EFGH are shown. AB equals 5. BC equals 25. EF equals 3. FG equals 15. Yes
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

Yes; the corresponding sides are proportional

Step-by-step explanation:

If two figures are similar, the lengths of their sides are proportional.  This means if we set up a proportion with the sides we are given and cross-multiply, we get a true statement at the end of it.

Using the similarity statement ABCD~EFGH, we will compare AB to EF and BC to FG:

5/3 = 25/15

Cross multiply:

5(15) = 3(25)

75 = 75

We got a true statement, so the sides are proportional.

Evaluate the numerical expression<br> [18 Divided by (2 x 3)] x 4
Nastasia [14]
P: parenthesis
E: exponents
MD: multiplication or division (whichever comes first left to right)
AS: addition or subtraction (whichever comes first left to right)

This is the order of operations. We will use this to solve the equation correctly.
We will start with the parenthesis. 2x3=6.
[18/6]x4
Next, we will do the rest of the parenthesis.
18/6=3.
This gets rid of the parenthesis (or brackets.) We will now do the rest of the problem, which is multiplying 3 and 4.
3x4=12.
12 is your final answer.
