Answer: Fraction= 3 3/4kg

Decimal= 3.75kg

Step-by-step explanation:

15 kilograms of rice are separated equally into 4 containers. To get the number of kilograms of rice are in each container, we divide the total kilograms of rice by the number of containers. This will be:

Kilograms of rice in each container=

15/4 =3 3/4kg as a fraction.

To convert the fraction to decimal, we divide 3 by 4 and add to 3. 3/4 equals 0.75. We then add 3 to 0.75. This will be:

Decimal of 3 3/4 = 3+0.75 = 3.75kg

The congruent sides of an isosceles triangle are each 1 unit longer than the length of the shortest side of the triangle. The pe
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

10 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the length of the shortest side of the triangle by x.  Then the sum of the lengths of the other two sides is 2(x + 1), and the perimeter of the triangle is thus x + 2(x + 1), or 3x + 2.

Represent the side length of the square by x - 2.  Then the perimeter of the square is 2(x - 2) + 2(x - 2) = 4(x - 2) = 4x - 8, and this perimeter matches that of the triangle:

4x - 8 = 3x + 2, or

x = 10

The length of the shortest side of the triangle is 10 units.

Let $f(x) = x^{10}-8x^8-8x^3+12x^2-5x-5$. Without using long division (which would be horribly nasty!), find the remainder when
valentina_108 [34]

Solution:

f(x) = x^{10}-8x^8-8x^3+12x^2-5x-5

We have to find the remainder when f(x) is divided by x^2-1.

x²-1=0

x=\pm1

f(1)=1^{10}-8(1)^8-8(1)^3+12(1)^2-5(1)-5=1-8-8+12-5-5=1-16+12-10=13-26=-13\\\\f(-1)=(-1)^{10}-8(-1)^8-8(-1)^3+12(-1)^2-5(-1)-5=1-8+8+12+5-5=1+12=13

So, remainder is 13 and -13.

A ramp leading into a building makes a 15o angle with the ground. the end of the ramp is 10 feet from the base of the building.
Oksanka [162]
We are tasked to solved for the length of the ramp having an inclination of 15 degrees with the ground and 10 feet from the end of the ramp to the base of the building of the ground. Using trigonometric properties, we have a formula given an angle and the its opposite sides which is,
sin(Angle)=opposite/hypothenuse
hypothenuse would be the distance or the length of the ramp.
so we have,
sin(15)=10/hypothenuse
Cross-multiply, we have,
hypothenuse=10/sin(15)
using scientific calculator having a DEG mode,
hypothenuse=38.63703
Rounding of in nearest tenth we get,
hypothenuse=38.6 ft
Therefore, the ramp is 38.6 ft long

in 2 h, kelly laid new floor tile over 1/5 of the room. when she was joined by annette, the rest of the work was completed in 3h
jeyben [28]

Answer: Annette will take 6 hours to do the entire job alone.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Time taken by Kelly to do \dfrac{1}{5} of job = 2 hours

i.e. Time for complete job done alone by Kelly =5\times2=10\ hours

Rest of work = 1-\dfrac{1}{5}=\dfrac{4}{5} of the job

\dfrac{4}{5}  of the complete job done by both Kelly and Annette in 3 hours

Time would be taken by then to do entire job together = 3\times\dfrac{5}{4}=3.75\ hours

Let t be the time taken by Annette to do job alone.

Then, as per situation

\dfrac{1}{3.75}=\dfrac{1}{10}+\dfrac{1}{t}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{1}{t}=\dfrac{1}{3.75}-\dfrac{1}{10}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{1}{t}=\dfrac{4}{15}-\dfrac{1}{10}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{1}{t}=\dfrac{1}{6}\\\\\Rightarrow\ t=6

hence, Annette will take 6 hours to do the entire job alone.
