A) Mark and Jada will each get 2.5 yards of ribbon.

Explanation:
Mark and Jada are sharing 5 yards of ribbon equally amongst 2 people, the two of the together. In order to solve the equation, you must divide the number of yards of ribbon by the number of people equally sharing it, which would be 5 divided by 2. 2 can not be multiplied by any non-decimal number to equal 5, so we can put down the number multiplied by 2 that is closest to 5, which would be 2, because 2 x 2 = 4. Subtracting 5 from 4 gives us 1. Since there are no remainders in our answer, the answer will be a decimal. So then we put a decimal in front of the 2, and add a 0 next to the 1 we got by subtracting 4 from 5, turning the 1 into a 10. 2 times 5 equals 10, so add a 5 to your answer and subtract 10 from 10. 10 - 10 = 0, so the answer is 2.5 yards of ribbon. You can check this answer by multiplying the 2.5 yards of ribbon in our answer by the 2 people who are equally sharing it, 2.5 x 2 = 5 yards of ribbon. So we can certainly conclude that Mark and Jada will be sharing 2.5 yards of ribbon.


B) Mark and Jada can make 10 bows with 5 yards of ribbon.

Explanation:
It takes half a yard of ribbon to make a bow, so we will need to find half of 1. 1 divided by 2 equals 0.5, so 0.5 yards of ribbon will be used for each bow. Now we need to find out how many bows can be made with 5 yards of ribbon. 5 divided by 0.5 equals 10, so the answer come out to be 10 bows. You can check your answer by solving 5 divided by 10, which equals 0.5. So we can safely conclude that 10 bows can be made with 5 yards of ribbon.

(3x^3 + 4x²) + (3x^3 – 4x^2 – 9x) =​

We have to combine like terms, terms that have x raised to the same power:

First, eliminate the parenthesis:

3x^3 + 4x² + 3x^3 – 4x^2 – 9x =​

We have 2 terms raised to the second power (4x^2 and -4 x^2) simply add and subtract.

3x^3+3x^3+4x^2-4x^2-9x

6x^3-9x

A rectangular prism is shown below. What is the surface area, in square centimeters?
Orlov [11]

Answer:

174 square centimetres

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for finding the surface area of a rectangular prism is

SA = 2LW + 2LH + 2HW

Therefore surface area will be

= 2(11*5) + 2(11*2) +2(2*5)

= 2 * 55 + 2 * 22 + 2 * 10

= (110 + 44 + 20) square cm

Which gives you 174 square centimetres.
