Step-by-step explanation:

always try to bring fractions you need to compare to the same denominator (bottom number).

we have 9/10 of the pizza left.

then 4/5 if the pizza are eaten.

how to compare 9/10 with 4/5 ?

by bringing 4/5 also to a fraction of 10ths.

what do I need to multiply 5 with to get 10 ?

right, 2.

since we don't want to change the overall value of the original fraction, we need to multiply both levels (numerator and denominator) by that same factor :

4/5 × 2/2 = 8/10

aha !

that we can compare with 9/10.

so, when Lucas ate 4/5 (= 8/10) of the pizza, when there was originally 9/10 left, then we have 1/10 of the pizza left.

What is the y-value of the vertex of the function f(x)=−(x−3)(x+11)? −8 −4 33 49

alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

y - value of the vertex is 49.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given function is f(x) = -(x - 3)(x + 11)

f(x) = -(x² - 3x + 11x - 33)

= -(x² + 8x - 33)

= -(x² + 8x + 16 - 49)

= -[(x + 4)² - 49]

= -(x + 4)² + 49

Comparing this equation with the vertex form of a quadratic function,

f(x) = -(x - h)² + k

Where (h, k) is the vertex of the function.

Vertex of the parabola is (-4, 49)

Therefore, y-value of the vertex is 49.

A shipping carton in the shape of a rectangular prism has a volume of 756 cubic inches the base area of the shipping carton is 4

coldgirl [10]

The answer would be a height o 18 inches. how you figure that is by taking the total cubic inches and divide by the base number which is 42 inches. 756 divided by 42 is 18. and to check your answer multiply. 18 times 42 equals 756.

ANSWER:

1) 25.70 cm 2) 30.84 cm 3) 10.71 km 4) 1.07 km 5) 6.71 cm 6) 10.07 mm

EXPLANATION:

1. Know that the circumference formula for a full circle is:

$C = 2\pi r$

The value of pi ( $\pi$ ) = 3.14

The radius ( $r$ ) will be given in the diagrams.

2. Now we can figure out the perimeters.

Shape One: Semi-circle

C = 2 x 3.14 x 5

C = 31.4 cm

Divide the circumference by 2 because it is a semi-circle. Then add 10 cm to this (because the flat side is 10 cm).

P = $\frac{31.4}{2} +10$

P = 25.7 cm ≈ 25.70 cm

Shape Two: Semi-circle

C = 2 x 3.14 x 6 (the picture shows the diameter so we need to half that to get the radius)

C = 37.68 cm

Divide the circumference by 2 because it is a semi-circle. Then add 12 cm to this (because the flat side is 12 cm).

P = $\frac{37.68}{2}+12$

P = 30.84 cm

Shape Three: Quadrant

C = 2 x 3.14 x 3

C = 18.84 km

Divide the circumference by 4 because it is a quadrant. Then add 6 km to this (because the two flat sides are 3 km each and so it is 6 km total).

P = $\frac{18.84}{4} +6$

P = 10.71 km

Shape Four: Quadrant

C = 2 x 3.14 x 0.3

C = 1.884 km

Divide the circumference by 4 because it is a quadrant. Then add 0.6 to this (because the two flat sides are 0.3 km each and so it is 0.6 km total).

P = $\frac{1.884}{4} + 0.6$

P = 1.071 km ≈ 1.07 km

Shape Five

C = 2 x 3.14 x 1

C = 6.28 cm

For this shape, we need to subtract the circumference of the missing sector from the circumference of the full circle to obtain the circumference for this shape. So, the circumference for the shape would be:

C = $6.28 - \frac{6.28}{4}$

C = 6.28 - 1.57

C = 4.71 cm

Then add the flat sides (1 cm + 1 cm = 2 cm) to this circumference to get the perimeter.

P = 4.71 + 2

P = 6.71 cm

Shape Six

C = 2 x 3.14 x 1.5 (Divide the 3 mm diameter by 2 to get the radius)

C = 9.42 cm

Do the same thing you did for Shape 5.

C = $9.42 - \frac{9.42}{4}$

C = 7.065 mm

Then add the flat sides (1.5 + 1.5 = 3) to this circumference.

P = 7.065 + 3

P = 10.065 mm ≈ 10.07 mm
