7/8 - 1/4 - 1/2= ??

Mathematics
1 answer:
madreJ [45]2 years ago
7 0

Step-by-step explanation:

We can break this up into pieces, first we do, 7/8 - 1/4, find the least common denominator which is 8, so the equation will be 7/8 - 2/8, which we can now subtract and will give us, 5/8, now that we have done that, we can do 5/8 - 1/2. Since we know that half of 8 (our denominator) is 4. Then the equation would be 5/8 - 4/8, which brings us to 1/8 as our final answer.

Cheers!

What is the minimum number of degrees in order for the pentagon to map onto itself
amid [387]

Answer:

We can divide the pentagon (5 sides) into five inscribed triangles with central vertex angles of 72 degrees. 360 degrees ÷ 5 = 72 degrees....complete rotation is 360 degrees So each rotation of the pentagon of 72 degrees will be identical

HELP AGAIN PLEASE I TRIED IT ON MY OWN AND FAILED :(
Alex787 [66]

Answer:  ∠ J = 62° , ∠ K = 59° , ∠ L = 59°

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

It is given that it is an Isosceles Triangle, where L J ≅ K J

It follows that ∠ K ≅ ∠ L

         ⇒ 5x + 24 = 4x + 31

         ⇒   x + 24 =         31

         ⇒   x         =           7

Input the x-value into either equation to solve for  ∠ K &  ∠ L:

∠ K = 5x + 24

      = 5(7) + 24

      = 35 + 24

       = 59

∠ K ≅ ∠ L  ⇒   ∠ L = 59

Next, find the value of  ∠ J:

∠ J +  ∠ K +  ∠ L = 180    Triangle Sum Theorem

∠ J  +   59  +  59 = 180

∠ J          + 118     = 180

∠ J                       = 62

Two train stations are 50 miles apart. At noon, a train starts out from each station heading for each other. Just as they pull o
Daniel [21]

Answer: 100 miles

Step-by-step explanation: How much time does the bird spend in flight? If you represent the problem in terms of the amount of time the bird is flying, then a solution is fairly straightforward. The two trains are 50 miles apart, and are approaching each other at a relative speed of 50 mph (25 + 25), so it will take one hour for them to meet. If the bird spends one hour flying at 100 mph, then it will traverse 100 miles before the trains meet.

The shorter leg of a right triangle is two less than the hypotenuse. The longer leg is one less than the hypotenuse. Find all th
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

using the Pythagorean theorem:

(x-1)² + (x-2)² = x²

x²-2x+1 + x²-4x+4 = x²

reduce:

2x²-6x+5 = x²

subtract x² from each side:

x²-6x+5 = 0

(x-1)(x-5) = 0

x=1 but because shorter leg would be 0, a triangle would be impossible.

x=5
