Fabian harvests 10 pounds of tomatoes from his garden. He needs 225 pounds to make a batch of soup. If he sets aside 2.8 pounds
nadya68 [22]
He can make 3 batches of soup.

Starting with 10 pounds of tomatoes and taking out the number of pounds he sets aside for spaghetti sauce, 2.8, we have:
10-2.8 = 7.2 pounds left.

0.2 is read as "two tenths," so 7.2 = 7 2/10

We divide this remaining number of pounds by 2 2/5 for each batch of soup:

7 2/10 ÷ 2 2/5

Convert each to an improper fraction:
72/10 ÷ 12/5

Multiply by the reciprocal:
72/10 × 5/12 = 360/120 = 3

A 13foot lader i upagenst a tree the bottom of the ladder is 5 feet away form the tree how high is the ladder on the tree
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Think of the 13-ft length of the ladder as the hypotenuse of a right triangle. Represent the horiz. distance from foot of ladder to base of tree by x, or 5 ft.

Represent the vert. dist. from base of tree to top of ladder by y, which is unknown.


Then (13 ft)^2 = (5 ft)^2 + y^2, or


169 ft^2 = 25 ft^2 + y^2. This simplifies to y^2 = 144. Thus y = + 12 feeet.


Note: Please pay attention to your spelling: "lader i up agenst a tree" should be "the top of a 13-ft ladder is placed against a tree."

Point m is the midpoint of kL. M(1,-1) and L(8,-7. What are the coordinates of point k?
Phoenix [80]

Answer: (-6, 5)

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

Use the Midpoint Formula: \dfrac{(x_k, y_k)+(x_L,y_L)}{2}=(x_m, y_m)

Separate the x's and y's and solve them individually:

\dfrac{x_k+x_L}{2}=x_m\qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad\dfrac{y_k+y_L}{2}=y_m\\\\\\\dfrac{x_k+8}{2}=1\qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \dfrac{y_k-7}{2}=-1\\\\\\x_k+8=2\qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad y_k-7=-2\\\\\\x_k\quad =-6 \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad y_k\qquad =5

            So, the k-coordinate is (-6, 5)

Can someone help me out?
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

so basically

the area of the square; (5cm)^2 = 25cm^5

the area of the triangle; (4cm.5cm)/2 = 10cm^2

which means that r = √25cm^2/10cm^2 = √25/10 cm^2 or √10/25 cm^2

english is not my first language so i do not know what combined means but if u explain a little more i will try to help u

-> ok edit edit;

1cm/5in. = r

5cm => 25in.

z^2= area of a square so

25in.25in= 625 in^2

4cm => 20in.

5cm => 25in.

h.b/2 = area of a triangle so

20in.25in./2 = 250in.^2

250in.^2 + 625in.^2 = 875in.^2

so answer B
