Answer:

<h2>6 is the Answer.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

A fraction consists of two parts the top number and the bottom one.

Think of the top number as the count and the bottom as the size indicator. So you have:

countsize indicator −−−−−−−−−−→proper names numeratordenominator

'~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Consider the action example of dividing 3 into 6.

We can do this division directly because their size indicators are the same. That is, we have: 61÷31. People do not normally write it this way but it is correct.

To directly divide the counts the size indicator must be the same

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So we need to see how many of 18 will fit into 34

We can not do this directly in one operation as the size indicators are not the same.

Lets make the size indicators (denominators) the same

Multiply by 1 and you do not change the value but

1 comes in many forms.

[34×1]÷18 → [34×22]÷18

[3×24×2]÷18 → 68÷18

Now that the size indicators (denominators) are the same we can just divide the counts (numerators)

countsize indicator→[68÷18]=6÷1=6

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I could explain more showing the connection between this and the shortcut method but what I have shown you will do for now.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

  • A \cap C denotes the set of elements in both A and C, which is \{20, 24, 28\}.
  • B^{C} denotes the complement of set B, which is the set of all elements that are in the universal set that are not in set B. In this case, this set is \{3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 11, 13, 16, 17, 19, 20, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28\}

Answer:

1. KLP + PLM = 180 degrees (straight line)

2. 3x + angle PLM = 180 degrees

3. angle PLM = 180 - 3x

4. PMN = P + PLM (Exterior angle)

5. 2x + 72 = x + 180 - 3x

6. x = 27

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Notice that angle KLP + angle PLM is a straight line, so KLP + PLM = 180 degrees (straight line)

2. angle KLP = 3x, so

3x + angle PLM = 180 degrees

3. angle PLM = 180 - 3x

4. PMN = P + PLM (Exterior angle)

5. 2x + 72 = x + 180 - 3x

6. 5 gives 4x = 108, so x = 27

Nine square tiles are laid out on a table so that they make a solid pattern. perimeters of the fiques that you can be formed?
Anastasy [175]
Let the side of one square be x.
The maximum perimeter will be when the squares will be lined end to end.
This will be:
x + 9x + 9x + x
= 20x

The perimeter of the figures formed will be less than or equal to 20x.
