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.
Answer:
integer represented as a minus the integer represented as b
m=-(5/4)
From left to right, (1,3) is first and then comes (5,-2). Always remember when finding slopes without equations, the rule is RISE over RUN, to the numerator and denominator, respectively.
The y value of the second coordinates becomes negative which is unlike the y value in the first coordinates, which means our slope is downward, meaning it has a negative sign in front.
In every slope, there’s a numerator, being the rise, and a denominator, being the run.
To find the rise, we must look at the y values. Starting at 3 going to -2 has a space of 5 units, making that our numerator.
To find the run, the first x value is 1 and the second is 5, making a space of 4, which is out denominator.
With these two numbers and the negative sign, we get -(5/4) as our slope.
