9514 1404 393

Answer:

  14 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of lengths is ...

  shortest : longest = (2/3) : 1 = 2 : 3

Then the ratio of the shortest to the total is ...

  shortest : (shortest +longest) = 2 : (2 +3) = 2/5

The shortest piece length is ...

  (2/5)×(35 ft) = 14 ft

The shorter piece of the board is 14 ft long.

scoundrel [369]

Answer:

so his total pay for Saturday would be $104.50

He works 5 hours at $11  per hour which gets a total of 55$

He also works 3 hours of overtime where he gets payed 1.5x pay

11 x 1.5 = 16.5 (10x1.5 = 15 1x1.5 = 1.5)

49.5 + 55 = $104.50

You factor out primes from the root, for example:
root 100
you can get 10 from it, or we'll use 5

100/5=20
20/5=4
root 4= 2
because there are 2 "5" we can bring that out of the root, there are 2 "2" so we bring that out too.
When a number is taking out of a root, the 2 exact same numbers become one. in this case, there are ONE 5 and ONE 2 outside the root. then You multiply 5 and 2 together, and you get 10
