It isn't at all!

When dividing numbers, the easiest way is to imagine the values as a fraction, and then reduce that fraction. If it reduces to a core fraction (ones that you should know their decimal value without thinking), then you have your answer.

$\frac{12}{15} = \frac{4}{5} = 0.8$

We simplified our fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by 4, which left us with $\frac{4}{5}$ , which we know is equal to 0.8.

You may be confused thinking that 0.8 is the same as 8. 0.8 is actually a tenth of the value of 8. This makes them very different values.

Below, I have also included a picture to help you memorize your common/core fractions. I recommend learning these as they will help you get through all sorts of math, from Geometry to Calculus!

Angela decides to recycle a large oatmeal container by using it to hold a friends birthday gift. Then she wraps the container in

Deffense [45]

Answer:

D. 135.37 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that the gift paper consists of two circles and a square.

Thus, we will need to find the area of the circles and the square.

Now, as the diameter of the circle = 4 inches

So, the radius of the circle = $\frac{4}{2}$ = 2 inches

Since, the area of a circle = $\pi r^{2}$

This implies that area of the two circles = $2\times \pi r^{2}$

i.e. Area of the circles = $2\times \pi 2^{2}$

i.e. Area of the circles = $8\pi$

i.e. Area of the two circles = 25.133 in²

Further, one side of the square = 10.5 inches

Thus, the area of the square = $side^{2}$

i.e. Area of the square = $10.5^{2}$

i.e. Area of the square = 110.25 in²

So, the overall area of the gift paper = 25.133 + 110.25 = 135.37 in².

Hence, the amount of paper used by Angela is 135.37 in².

Which expression can be used to find the surface area of the following square pyramid? I DONT KNOW HOW TO PUT A PHOTO ON PC!!! b

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

40 or 16+6+6+6+6

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the surface area of a 3d figure, we can imagine all of its faces laid down on a flat plane. In this case, we would have a square, and four congruent triangles. Now all we have to do is find the areas of each shape and add them up.

4 is the base of the pyramid, so it's also the square's side length. Since a square has four equal sides, our square's length and width are both 4.

4*4 = 16

For every triangle we have, the base is 4 and the height is 3. The area of a triangle can be found using the formula A=(bh)/2. We plug in the values:

A = (4*3)/2

A = (12)/2

A = 6

Since we have 4 triangles, the surface area is:

16+6+6+6+6 = 40
