Answer:
check your math
Step-by-step explanation:
The first subtraction was correct:
36 -7 3/4 = 28 1/4
The second subtraction needs to be revisited.
28 1/4 -6 2/4 = 27 5/4 -6 2/4 = 21 3/4
__
You can do what you did, but you need to pay attention to the signs.
28 1/4 -6 2/4 = (28 -6) +(1/4 -2/4) = 22 - 1/4 = 21 3/4
The result of subtracting 2/4 from 1/4 is -1/4, not +1/4.
_____
The length of the first cut piece was 21 3/4 inches.

S= savings before she bought the dress s - $55 would be her new balance after she bought the dress.
We could also talk about her savings now (after her purchase). If we let n=now
n + $55 would be her balance before she bought the dress.
Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
We assume that the given expessions represent the measures of the alternate interior angles, so are equal.
... (4x + 12)° = 7x°
... 12 = 3x . . . . . . . divide by degrees, subtract 4x
... 4 = x . . . . . . . . . divide by 3
_____
Then the angles are 7x° = 28° = (4x+12)°.
Answer:
The best estimate of the area of the larger figure is 
Step-by-step explanation:
step 1
<em>Find the scale factor</em>
we know that
If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is equal to the scale factor
Let
z----> the scale factor
x-----> the corresponding side of the larger figure
y-----> the corresponding side of the smaller figure
so
we have
substitute
-----> the scale factor
step 2
<em>Find the area of the larger figure</em>
we know that
If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its areas is equal to the scale factor squared
Let
z----> the scale factor
x-----> the area of the larger figure
y-----> the area of the smaller figure
so
we have
substitute and solve for x
