<span>Total mass of mixture is given as 5/6 pound, in which 1/4 pound is gravel. Amount of sand in the mixture will be 5/6 - 1/4 = 7/12 So, the ratio of sand to that of gravel in given mixture is 7/12:1/4 = 7:3. i.e every 10 parts of mixture contain 7 parts of sand and 3 parts of gravel. If we are given 1-pound of same mixture, it will contain 1 * 3/10 pound gravel, i.e. 0.3 pound.</span>

The largest possible circle is cut out of a square whose side length is 8 feet. What will be the approximate area, in square fee
Lunna [17]

Answer:

=13.73 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

The diameter of the largest possible circle that can be cut out of  a square is equal to the length of the side of the square.

Therefore the diameter of the circle cut from a square of side 8ft =8ft

r=4ft

Area of the remaining board= Area of square- area of circle

=side²-πr²

=8²-π×4²

=64-16π

=13.73 ft²

How many times can 2 1/2 be subtracted from 12 1/2
Luba_88 [7]
2 1/2 = 2.5
12 1/2 = 12.5

This means you can calculate how may times it goes in by dividing it and rounding the number down:

12.5 / 2.5 = 5

*5 can not be rounded down so it stays the same

This means that 2 1/2 goes into 12 1/2 5 times. Hope this helps! :)
