The length of a board is 2 5/8 feet long. If 5/6 of a foot is trimmed off, find the new length

Answer:

New length is 3 3/20 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total board is 2 5/8 feet long. And since 5/6 of a foot is trimmed off, that means each piece of wood is 5/6 feet.

We can now set up an equation like this ---> 5/6 ⋅ x = 2 5/8

Now we're going to simplify --->  5/6 ⋅ x = 2 5/8

                                                      5/6 ⋅ x = 21/8              

                                                      (multiply both sides by 6)

                                                      5x = 63/4

                                                      (divide both sides by 5)

                                                      x = 63/20

                                                      x= 3.15

So, the new length is 3.15 feet long, or 3 3/20 in mixed fraction.

Someone Please Help!!! <br> Find the radian measure of an angle of -280 degrees
SCORPION-xisa [38]
<span>Answer: -4.88691778Solution:1.Write down the number of degrees you want to convert to radians   Given Degree = -280° The formula to convert degrees to radian measure is:Radian =  degree x π/180 2. Multiply the number of degrees by π/180. Think of it like multiplying two fractions: the first fraction has the number of degrees in the numerator and "1" in the denominator, and the second fraction has π in the numerator and 180 in the denominator. -280 x π/180 = -280π/1803. Find the largest number that can evenly divide into the numerator and denominator of each fraction and use it to simplify each fraction. The largest number for 280 is 20.-280 x π/180 = -280π/180 ÷ 20/20 = -14π /9 4. Then multiply the numerator by 3.14159 because pi or π  is equivalent to 3.14159, -14x 3.14159= -43.982265. To get the radian measure, we will divide -43.98226 by 9. -43.98226/9= -4.88691778

Since you have a angle number of 23 and you see the tiny square that means it’s equal to 90 up top and add 23 and 90 together and then subtract that by 180 to get all 3 angles in the triangle and then just use that to find the other line that’s 180.
