Answer:

1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

If Beth had 1/4 a box of candy, and she ate 1/2 of the remaining candy, she would have 1/8 because the equation is calling for you to multiply 1/4 by 1/2 or divide 1/4 by 2. To multiply two fractions, you multiply straight across. When you do so, 1x1 equals 1 and 4x2 equals 8, leaving you with an answer of 1/8!

Lines s and t are perpendicular if the slope of line s is 5 what is the slope of line t

ycow [4]

The slope of line T is -1/5, because perpendicular lines have opposite reciprocal slopes, meaning the opposite sign (positive or negative) and flipped (whole number becomes a fraction).

The length of the rectangle is 4cm less than its width . what are the dimensions of the rectangle if its area is 140

melomori [17]

Let the width of the rectangle be x
Then length =x-4
Area=x(x-4)=140
x²-4x=140
x²-4x-140=0
x²-14x+10x-140=0
x(x-14)+10(x-14)=0
(x-14)(x+10)=0
Therefore,length=14 cm and width=10 cm

I still don’t understand can someone give a helping hand?

Fofino [41]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A, B, C, and D, are all functions. the " { " is saying that those functions can are different at different points. For A the function is $A= -x-2$ when $x< 2$ and then $A=x+4$ when $x\geq -2$ . At the point $x=-2$ you can see that the function on the graph is going in two different directions but it stops at $x=-2$ .

Based on the graph you can see that the line on the left has a slope of -1 and if it kept going it would cross the y-axis at $y=-2$ , therefore the equation for the first line is $y =-x-2$ when $x$

The second line on the right side has a slope of 1 and crosses the y-axis at $y=4$ so the equation for that line is $y=x+4$ when $x\geq -2$ .

The only answer that matches these requirements is A

What is the future value of $845 a year for seven years at an interest rate of 11.3 percent? $6,683.95 $6,075.69 $8,343.51 $8,00

k0ka [10]

The future value of cash whose initial value is $845, at the rate of 11.3% for 7 years will be calculated using the compound interest rate, that is:
A=p(1+r/100)^n
where:
A=future amount
r=rate=11.3%=0.113
time=7 years
thus the future value of our cash will be:
A=845(1+0.113)^7
A=845(1.113)^7
A=$1,787.82
