Hey there! I'm happy to help!
Step 2 is incorrect. She added 4 and 2 first, but you are supposed to multiply and divide first. Then she multiplied 6 and 6, which is 36. Then she divided 36 and 2, which is 18, and then she subtracted 7, giving her 11. Step 2 is what threw the whole thing off.
Here is what Sandy should have done.
STEP 1: 6·4+2÷2-7
STEP 2: 24+1-7
STEP 3: 25-7
STEP 4: 18
I hope that this helps! Have a wonderful day! :D
To find the area of a rectangle, multiple the width by the length.
(And simply the fractions for a simpler equation)
For piece A:
The length 1 and 3/5 can be turned into an improper fraction by multiplying 1 by the denominator (5) and adding it to the numerator (3). 1 and 3/5 = 8/5
(3/4) • (8/5) = area
Multiple the numerators with each other and the denominators with each other (3 times 8 = 24) (4 times 5 = 20)
The area of piece A is 24/20
If you do the same for piece B:
(2/5) • (21/8) = area
The answer is 42/40

Here you buddy hope it helps!
(a^3)^2
= a^(3*2)
= a^6
or
a^3 * a^3
= a^(3+3)
= a^6
Hey there! :D
Think of this like a triangle. The dock is 15 feet above ground. It is the side of the triangle. The line connecting the bottom of the dock to the base of the conveyor belt is 40 feet. This is like the base.
The conveyor belt itself is at a diagonal, and should be the hypotenuse.
Use the Pythagorean theorem.
a^2+b^2=c^2
15^2+40^2= c^2
225+1,600= c^2
Add the values together.
1,825= c^2
Find the square root of 1,825.
c= 42.7 (rounded to the nearest tenth)
The conveyor belt is 42.7 feet long.
I hope this helps!
