Answer:

I agree with Elena

Step-by-step explanation:

Ants have 6 legs. Elena and Andre write equations showing the proportional relationship between the number of ants, a, to the number of ant legs, v.

Elena writes a = 6 times v

Andre writes v =1/6 times a.

Mathematically

The number of ants a is directly proportional to the number of legs

=a ∝ v

Because if

1 ant = 6 legs

2 ants = x legs

x = 6 legs × 2

x = 12 legs

The number of ants is directly proportional to the number of legs

Therefore, Elena is correct and Andre is wrong.

Brooke paints the outsides of the square walls and triangular ceilings of her treehouse. What area does she paint? Enter your an
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

216

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of finding the surface is length * width * height or LxWxH.

Since everything is 6 you just multiply 6*6*6 which gives you 36*6 which gets you 216. You don't need the top 6 just to find the surface she will paint.

Hope this helps!

I need help with this math problem
boyakko [2]
Consider the right triangle HBF. The Pythagorean theorem tells you ...
   HF² = HB² + BF²

The lengths HB and BF can be determined by counting grid squares, or by subtracting coordinates. Here, it is fairly convenient to count grid squares. When we do that, we find ...
   HB = 2
   BF = 5
Using these values in the equation above, we get
   HF² = 2² + 5²
   HF² = 4 + 25 = 29
Taking the square root gives the length HF.
   HF = √29

Solve for this equation. x-2/5=1/5
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

3/5   or

0.6

Step-by-step explanation:

You could change these fractions to decimals, but you may not be convinced that the answer you get is the same as just using fractions. I'll start by using fractions.

x - 2/5 = 1/5                        Add 2/5 to both sides

x - 2/5 + 2/5 = 1/5 + 2/5     The left side cancels to 0.

x = 1/5 + 2/5                       The denominators (bottom the fraction) are the same. Just add the tops.

x = (1 + 2)/5

x = 3/5

=======================

If you use your calculator to find 2/5 and 1/5, you can get the same answer as 3/5

2

÷

5

=

0.4

By the same method, 1/5 = 0.2

Substitute into the original equation

x - 0.4 = 0.2                       Add 0.4 to both sides

x - 0.4 +0.4 = 0.2 + 0.4    The left side reduces just to x

x = 0.2 +0.4

x = 0.6

If you let your calculator do the work, like this

3

÷

5              

=

0.6

The answers are the same.
