| - 8 | means that -8 is 8 units far away from 0.

We use the units to answer, so we say that | - 8 | = 8.

The Absolute Value has defines and they are for basics.

$|a| = a\\|-a| = a\\-|a|=-a\\-|-a|=-|a|=-a$

These are just basics for absolute value.

Therefore, | - 8 | = 8.

Marcus needs 3 1/10 m of blue fabric and 1 1/5 m of yellow fabric to make his costume. How much more blue fabric than yellow fab

Kamila [148]

Answer:

$1\frac{9}{10}\ m$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

To find out how much more blue fabric than yellow fabric does Marcus need, subtract the quantity of yellow fabric from the quantity of blue fabric

step 1

Convert mixed number to an improper fraction

$3\frac{1}{10}\ m=\frac{3*10+1}{10}=\frac{31}{10}\ m$

$1\frac{1}{5}\ m=\frac{1*5+1}{5}=\frac{6}{5}\ m$

step 2

Subtract the numbers

$\frac{31}{10}-\frac{6}{5}=\frac{31}{10}-\frac{12}{10}=\frac{19}{10}\ m$

Convert to mixed number

$\frac{19}{10}\ m=\frac{10}{10}+\frac{9}{10}=1\frac{9}{10}\ m$

What are the demensions of a rectangle if the perimiter is 20 and the area is 24

Advocard [28]

Answer:

I simply listed the factors of 24, and tested which ones worked in this equation: P = 2a + 2b.

So the factors listed were:

24 x 1

12 x 2

8 x 3

6 x 4

After testing each one of these, 6 and 4 had worked for me.

P = 2(6) + 2(4)

P = 12 + 8

P = 20

Therefore, the dimensions of this rectangle are 6 and 4.

$\bf \begin{array}{ccll} yes&no\\ \text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\ 5&3\\ y&2829 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{5}{y}=\cfrac{3}{2829}\implies \cfrac{5\cdot 2829}{3}=y\implies 4715=y \\\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{total number of votes}}{yes+no}\implies 4715+2829\implies 7544$
