$Hello$ $There!$

The answer is...

$a =-\frac{5}{12}$

HERE'S A EXPLAINANTION!

Add $\frac{1}{5}$ both sides...

$-\frac{1}{5} -\frac{4}{5}a+\frac{1}{5} =\frac{2}{15} +\frac{1}{5}$

Simplify:

$-\frac{4}{5}a=\frac{1}{3}$

Multiply 5 by both sides

$5(-\frac{4}{5}a=\frac{1 . 5}{3} )$

Simplify again:

$-4a=\frac{5}{3}$

Divide -4 by both sides:

$\frac{-4a}{-4}=\frac{5/3}{4}$

Simplify again..:

$a =-\frac{5}{12}$

Hopefully, this helps you!!

1) There are 80 grams of salt in a 32% solution. Find the weight of the solution

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

Weight of the solution = 250 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Consider the weight of solution as x grams.

32 % solution = 80 grams salt

32% of x = 80

(32/100)*x = 80

Solving for x:

x = (80*100) / 32

x = 250 grams

Solution for 18-3.8t=7.36-1.98

ohaa [14]

$\text{Hello there!}\\\\\text{Solve for t:}\\\\18-3.8t=7.36-1.98\\\\18-3.8t=5.38\\\\\text{Subtract 18 from both sides}\\\\-3.8t=-12.62\\\\\text{Divide both sides by -3.8}\\\\t=3.321053\\\\\text{Round to the nearest hundredths}\\\\\boxed{t=3.32}$

A long paper strip with a width of 5 cm is folded, as shown in the picture. Find the smallest possible area of the gray triangle

Stolb23 [73]

By using some logic and the formula of the triangle's area, we will find that the smallest possible area is 12.5 cm²

How to start thinking about the problem.

First of all, for the configuration of this paper strip, we can see that the base of the triangle will always be equal of the width of the paper. Thus, the smallest area will be only dependent of the height of the triangle.

Now, we need to analyze the picture to figure out how we can get the smallest height possible for that triangle.

What is the smallest height possible.

Doing this, we shall see that the smallest height possible is actually when the height equals the width itself, as it's shown in the attached image.

How to calculate the smallest area possible.

Thus, to calculate the smallest area, we just have to use the formula of the area of the triangle, which is $\frac{b\times h}{2}$ , where b is the base and h is the height.

As we previously found, for this question, the

base = height = width of the paper = 5cm

Now, we just have to calculate it with the formula

$Area = \frac{base \times height}{2} \\\\
\\
Area = \frac{5 \times 5}{2} \\
\\
Area = \frac{25}{2}\\
 \\
Area = 12.5 cm^{2}$

A ball is dropped from a height of 192 inches onto a level floor. After the third bounce it is still 3 inches off the ground. Pr

ANEK [815]

Answer: The required fraction = $\dfrac18$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the required fraction = $\dfrac{p}{q}$

Given: Initial height = 192 inches

Height of ball after second bounce = $\dfrac{p}{q}\times192$

Height of ball after third bounce = $\dfrac{p}{q}\times\dfrac{p}{q}\times192=192\dfrac{p^2}{q^2}$

After the third bounce it is 3 inches off the ground.

So,

$(\dfrac{p}{q})^2192=3\\\\\\(\dfrac{p}{q})^2=\dfrac{3}{192}\\\\(\dfrac{p}{q})^2=\dfrac{1}{64}\\\\(\dfrac{p}{q})^2=(\dfrac{1}{8})^2\\\\ \dfrac{p}{q}=\dfrac{1}{8}$

Hence, The required fraction = $\dfrac18$
