Julian has to read 4 articles for school. He has 8 nights to read them. He decides to read the same number of articles each nigh

daser333 [38]

Answer:

a. He will have to read half an article per night

b. Fraction of the reading assignment read each night = $\frac{0.5}{4}=\frac{1}{8}$

Explanation:

Part a:

We are given that:

number of articles to read = 4 articles

number of nights = 8 nights

To get the number of articles that he should read per night, we will simply divide the the number of articles by the number of nights

Therefore:

number of articles to read per night = $\frac{4}{8}=\frac{1}{2}$ articles per night

Part b:

Now, we know that he will read half an article each night from a total of 4 articles

To get the fraction of the reading assignment read each night, we will divide the number of articles read each night by the total number of assignments

Therefore:

Fraction of the reading assignment read each night = $\frac{0.5}{4}=\frac{1}{8}$

Hope this helps :)

Is 15 ft, 36 ft, 39 ft a right triangle?

Nina [5.8K]

Use the pythagoream theorem to check. a^2+b^2=c^2

a=15 b=36 c= 39

225+1296=1521

The equation is true so it is a right triangle.

Find the area of the circle with the given diameter. Use 3.14 for π. Round to two decimal places.

harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

14.13 m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for area:

3.14*r^2

To find the radius(r), you do diameter(d)/2:

9/2=4.5

3.14*4.5^2=14.13 m2
