He made his mistake in Step 2. Tom should have subtracted 4/8 instead of 1/8. The mistake is that he was not consistent when he multiplied Denominators (bottom number) must be the same when handling fractions so Tom must multiply both the numerator and denominator by the SAME number to balance it out. 1/2 x 4/4= 4/8. Subtract. 7/8 - 4/8= 3/8. Tom has 3/8 of a gallon of paint leftover.
Answer:
$10.12
Step-by-step explanation:
Step one:
given data
we are told that the cost of binoculars is $155.75
and also the sales tax is 7%
Step two:
We want to first solve for the sales tax which is 7% of $155.75
=7/100* 155.75
=0.070*155.75
=10.12
Cassie will pay a tax of $10.12
Also Cassie will pay a total amount of
= 155.75+10.12
=$165.87
So you can you the Pythagorean theorem to solve this problem.
if each side of the square is a certain length x, then the square is made up of two right triangles.
the sides adjacent to the right angle are length x while the hypoteneus is the diagonal whcih measures 36 feet.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
x^2 + x^2 = 36^2
2x^2 = 1296
x^2 = 648
x = 25.456
area of a square = x^2 = 648 ft^2
Answer:
8.0
Step-by-step explanation:
7.538 start from 8 which is in the thousandth place. 8 will make the 3 turn into 4. 4 is too low so it doesn't change the 5. the 5 change the 7 to 8. so anything that is 5 and up you round up
5x - 6y = 30
to find x intercept, sub in 0 for y
5x - 6(0) = 30
5x = 30
x = 30/5
x = 6......so the x intercept is (6,0)
to find the y intercept, sub in 0 for x
5(0) - 6y = 30
-6y = 30
y = 30/-6
y = -5...so the y intercept is (0,-5)
