Answer:

Gavin is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the problem is using a denominator of 10, I will convert 1 (1 representing the full length of the board before being sawed) to a fraction over 10

1 = 10/10

Subtract everything Gavin sawed off from the board

10/10 - 2/10 - 5/10 - 1/10

Only subtract the numerators; the denominators will stay the same

8/10 - 5/10 - 1/10

3/10 - 1/10

2/10

Gavin says he has 2/10 of the board left to use

Since we concluded we still have 2/10, he is correct

What is the approximate distance from one corner of the soccer field to the opposite corner?
mario62 [17]

Answer:

117 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

From the diagram here, we can see that we are to calculate the diagonal of the rectangular football field

we can calculate this by the use of Pythagoras’ theorem which posits that the square of the hypotenuse = the sum of the squares of the two other sides

From the diagram, the diagonal is the hypotenuse while the other two sides complete the right triangle

let’s say the diagonal is length d

Mathematically;

d^2 = 100^2 + 60^2

d^2 = 10,000 + 3,600

d^2 = 13,600

d = √13,600

d = 116.62 yards which is approximately 117 yards

Help quick plsssssss
Tju [1.3M]
The equation should be g/12 = 1/4. Since the sub was cut into 12 parts, then the total would have been divided by 12 to get 1/4 equal parts. To solve the equation you multiply 12 by 1/4. This will get you 3. This means the original sub was 3 feet long.
