Answer:

Each shelter would get 121 blankets

And there would be 5 blankets left over

Step-by-step explanation:

One of the local homeless shelters received a donation of 852 blankets to help support the homeless population during the harsh winter months. They plan on distributing them to all 7 of the local shelters. How many blankets will each shelter get? Will there be any leftover? If so, how many?

From the above question

7 local shelters = 852 blankets

1 local shelters = x blankets

Cross Multiply.

7x = 852 blankets

x = 852 blankets/7

x = 121 5/7 blankets

Therefore, Each shelter would get 121 blankets

And there would be 5 blankets left over

To make fruit punch for a party, we need 4 1⁄2 gallons of ginger ale, 1 gallon of strawberry juice, 2 3⁄4 gallons of frozen oran
lina2011 [118]

For this case we convert the mixed numbers to fractions:

4 \frac {1} {2} = \frac {2 * 4 + 1} {2} = \frac {9} {2}\\2 \frac {3} {4} = \frac {4 * 2 + 3} {4} = \frac {11} {4}

Now we add the fractions:

\frac{9} {2}+1+ \frac {11} {4} + \frac {1} {8} =

We find the least common multiple of the denominators. The l.c.m is 8, then we divide by each denominator and multiply the result by each numerator.

\frac {36 + 8 + 22 + 1} {8} =\\\frac {67} {8} =

8,375

Thus, the punch recipe implies 8.375 gallons. If we convert to a mixed number we have:

8 \frac {3} {8} gallons

Answer:

8 \frac {3} {8}gallons

Find the area of the shaded region in square units. Show your reasoning.
motikmotik

Answer:

40 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, lets say that square has side l, so, the area unit is l^2

the diagonal's square is l\sqrt{2}

CALCULATION OF TRIANGLES'S AREA (there are 4 triangles)

A_{triangles}=4*base*heigh*0.5=2*(l\sqrt{2} )(2l\sqrt{2} )=8l^2

CALCULATION OF MAIN SQUARE AREA

A_{square}=side*side=(4\sqrt{2} l)(4\sqrt{2} l)=32l^2

TOTAL AREA

A_{total}=A_{triangles}+A_{square}=8l^2+32l^2=40l^2

Find the height of a triangle with an area of 42 square inches and base of 7 inches. Use the formula for the area of a triangle
disa [49]
A= 1/2bh

fill in formula with known numbers

42= 1/2(7)h
multiply numerators on right side

42= (1*7)/2h

42= 7/2h
divide both sides by 7/2

42 ÷ 7/2= h
to divide fractions, multiply by reciprocal/inverse of 7/2

42 * 2/7= h
multiply numerators

(42 * 2)/7= h

84/7= h

12 inches= h


ANSWER: The height is 12 inches.

Hope this helps! :)
