A 4/7 inch pipe is to be shortened to 3/8 inch. How much must be removed?

11/56 inches or 0.196 inches must be removed.

The pipe measures 4/7 inches but needs to be reduced to 3/8 inches.

In order to find out the inches to be removed, you must subtract the length that the pipe should be from the length that it currently is.

<em>Length to be removed = 4/7 - 3/8</em>

You need a common denominator so find the lowest common factor of both denominators:

= 56

In the shared fraction, multiply the numerator by the number you get when you divide 56 by the denominator.

= 56/7 = 8                                      8 x 4 = 32

= 56 / 8 = 7                                    7 x 3 = 21

= (32 - 21) / 56

= 11 / 56 inches

= 0.196 inches

In conclusion, 11/56 inches must be removed to get the pipe to 3/8 inches

Find the derivative of f(x) = 7 divided by x at x = 1.
julsineya [31]
I find it best to switch everything exponents when taking derivatives.
F(x) = 7/x
Same as..
F(x) = 7x^-1
Take derivative..
F'(x) = -7x^-2
Plug in x = 1
F'(1) = -7(1)^-2
F'(1) = -7

An elementary school class ran 1 mile in an average of 11 minutes with a standard deviation of 3 minutes. Rachel, a student in t
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

Rachel

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to measure how far (towards the left) are the students from the mean in<em> “standard deviations units”</em>.  

That is to say, if t is the time the student ran the mile and s is the standard deviation of the class, we must find an x such that

mean - x*s = t

For Rachel we have

11 - x*3 = 8, so x = 1.  

Rachel is <em>1 standard deviation far (to the left) from the mean</em> of her class

For Kenji we have

9 - x*2 = 8.5, so x = 0.25

Kenji is <em>0.25 standard deviations far (to the left) from the mean</em> of his class

For Nedda we have

7 - x*4 = 8, so x = 0.25

Nedda is also 0.25 standard deviations far (to the left) from the mean of his class.

As Rachel is the farthest from the mean of her class in term of standard deviations, Rachel is the fastest runner with respect to her class.

Can someone please help me find the measure of the exterior angle.
natta225 [31]

Answer:

X=128°

Step-by-step explanation:

Because an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to of the two opposite interior angle.

The sum of the exterior and interior angle is equal to 180°

In this case the part marked red = 90° because is a right angled triangle.

90+38=128

180- 128=52

180- 52=128

x=128.
