We can simplify across between the 5 and the 50 and also between the 42 and the 3.

To find the area of the walk in Marcus's bedroom, we have to use the formula: A = b * h. However, to multiply these two values, we should first transform them into improper fractions.

8 2/5 : 8 * 5 = 40 + 2 = 42/5

16 2/3 : 16 * 3 = 48 + 2 = 50/3

Now, we can begin to solve the problem.

Area of Wall = base * height

Area = (50/3) * (42/5)

Now, we simply multiply the fractions.

Area = 140 square feet

However, this value represents the area of a whole wall of Marcus's room. To find the area of the 1/2 of the wall that he plans to paint blue, we must multiply this value by 1/2.

140 * 0.5 = 70 square feet


Therefore, Marcus is going to paint 70 square feet of the wall blue.

The points (–5, 6) and (5, 6) are vertices of a hexagon. The line segment joining the two points forms one of the sides of the h
xxTIMURxx [149]

The information about the points being vertices that make up a line to represent the side of a hexagon is irrelevant, as we are only looking for the distance of a line based on their x and y coordinates.

Look at the point's x and y coordinates:

First point:

x = -5, y = 6

Second point:

x = 5, y = 6

You'll notice that the y-coordinate for both points is the same (6 = 6). This means that the segment created by the points will be horizontal, since there is only movement on the x-axis if you trace the segment from point to point.

To find the distance between the two points, we'll only need to subtract the first point's x-coordinate from the second:

5 - (-5) = 5 + 5 = 10

The answer will be the following statement:

Since the y-coordinates are the same, the segment is horizontal, and the distance between the points is 10 units.

The profits for a business can be represented as a function p(x)=110+25x for the month of January and q(x)=15x+85 for the month
mrs_skeptik [129]
To find the total profit, add p(x) and q(x):
(110 + 25x) + (15x + 85)
15x + 25x + 110 + 85 --> group like terms
40x + 195 --> add like terms
p(x) + q(x) = 40x + 195 --> This is the function that represents the total profit for January and February

Diane reed had office supply sales of $3,285 this month. this is a 78% of last months supply sales. what was the amount of last
Hoochie [10]

To solve this problem, we can set up an equation, letting the unknown value of last month's supply sales be represented by the variable x.

First, we must convert 78% to its decimal equivalent, by dividing 78/100. This is because percentages are parts of a whole 100 percent.

78/100 = 0.78

Now, we are ready to set up our equation, using our knowledge that the word "of" refers to multiplication in mathematics.

3,285 = 0.78x

To solve our equation, we must divide both sides of the equation by 0.78 to get the variable x alone on the right side of the equation.

x = 4211.53846154

This means that last month's supply sales were about $4,211.54 (we round the last digit up because 8 is greater than 5).

Hope this helps!

A bicycle wheel is 63 centimeters from top to bottom. When the wheel goes all the way around one time,the bicycle travels 198 ce
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

π = 198/63

Divide the distance traveled by the wheel to guess the value or estimate the value of π.

Step-by-step explanation:

Height of the wheel: Diameter of the circle

Perimeter of the circle = π*diameter of the circle

Divide the diameter of the circle by the perimeter of the circle.

π = 198/63

<em><u>Hope this helps.</u></em>
