Answer:
x =12
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve for x
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
16^2 + x^2 = 20^2
256 +x^2 = 400
Subtract 256 from each side
256-256 +x^2 = 400-256
x^2 =144
Take the square root of each side
sqrt(x^2) =sqrt(144)
x = 12
Answer:
A. 5 1/2 and D. 11/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Make improper fraction
8*1+3=11/8
Solve by multiplying:
4*11/8
44/8
Simplified is 11/2
We can turn it back into a mixed number
2*5+1=11 so 5 1/2
The bucket leaks 1/4 ounce per hour. Because the numerator is 3 and it took 3 hours, you can give 1/4 to every hour (3/4 divided by 3).
