B. 6 3/8
How do we get this? Simple:
6.375--->We already know that 6 will be the whole number in the mixed fraction.
We then move on to represent the decimal part as the fraction. 375 will be the numerator. The denominator depends on how many decimal places we have (3 in this case, since there are 3 numbers after the period--375). Each decimal place represents a 10 (or a 0 after the 1). So we get that our denominator will be a 1000.
We get the following fraction
6 375/1000
We simplify. Let's start by dividing numerator and denominator by 5:
6 75/200
Let's divide by 5 again:
6 15/40
Let's divide by 5 again:
6 3/8
Or we could have divide by 125 from the get go and get the same results.
I was stuck on the same thing in my class test. I ended up failing but if I get the answers to it I’ll totally send them to you
The length of the ladder is 25 feet.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Height of the House, h = 24 feet
Distance between the house and the ladder, b = 7 feet
length of the ladder, x = ?
The house makes 90° with the base of the ladder.
Using pythagoras theorm,
x² = h² + b²
x² = (24)² + (7)²
x = √625
x = 25
Therefore, the length of the ladder is 25 feet.
Y= -2x+3
-2 is the slope which is given, and 3 is the y intercept which is also given, so plug those numbers in y=Mx+b to make your equation
