Okay, I think I understand this. Our first step is to solve how long the string is after he used some of it to tie the package. I have a feeling we have to subtract 7/8 - 1/5. Find a least common multiple (in this case, it's 40) and our new fractions are 35/40 and 8/45. Subtract:
35/40 - 8/40 = 27/40.
I don't think this can be simplified down any further as they do not have any common factors. So with that in mind, let's divide 27/40 with 5/1 (5/1 is basically 5 wholes but in fraction version)
When dividing fractions, you want to use the KCF technique (my old math teacher taught me this). Keep the first fraction the same (in this case, 27/40), change the sign from multiplication to division, and flip 5/1 to get it's reciprocal, 1/5. The equation will look like this:
27/40 * 1/5 = 27/200
So each piece is about 27/200 m in length (or 0.135 m in length).
If this is wrong, please let me know, but this is what I got out of this question. I hope this helped you :)
Answer:
(6y - 1)(6y + 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
To factorize completely, we may adopt the difference of 2 squares approach. The theory states that difference of two square is the product of the difference of the number and the sum of the numbers.
Such that
a² - b² = (a - b) (a + b)
Hence 36y² - 1
= 6²y² - 1²
= (6y)² - 1²
= (6y - 1)(6y + 1)
Answer:
Answer is 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Remember PEMDAS???
"parenthesis, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction"
you would first solve the addition inside of the parentheses (1 + 2 = 3), and from there finish the equation as it's written from left to right.
Post the map
we need to see α photo in order to answer the question.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The given line is defined by: 
, where we see that the slope is 5 and the y-intercept 1.
In order to find a line perpendicular to the given one, we need it to have a slope that is the "opposite of the reciprocal" of the given slope.
"Opposite" means it would have its sign inverted (in our case from positive to negative); and "reciprocal means that instead of 5, it would be its reciprocal: 
.
We can write this new line with such slope, and try to find its y-intercept (b) by using the given condition that requires it to go through the point (-5,-4) on he plane:
we require then that when 
, the value of 
.
Therefore: 
Then our final answer is that the new line should have the form:
