11/56 inches or 0.196 inches must be removed.

The pipe measures 4/7 inches but needs to be reduced to 3/8 inches.

In order to find out the inches to be removed, you must subtract the length that the pipe should be from the length that it currently is.

<em>Length to be removed = 4/7 - 3/8</em>

You need a common denominator so find the lowest common factor of both denominators:

= 56

In the shared fraction, multiply the numerator by the number you get when you divide 56 by the denominator.

= 56/7 = 8                                      8 x 4 = 32

= 56 / 8 = 7                                    7 x 3 = 21

= (32 - 21) / 56

= 11 / 56 inches

= 0.196 inches

In conclusion, 11/56 inches must be removed to get the pipe to 3/8 inches

vivado [14]
Your question does not say what were your options, therefore I will answer generically: in order to understand if a point (ordered pair) is contained in a line, you need to substitute the x-component of the pair in the equation of the line and see if the calculations give you the y-component of the pair.

Example:
Your line is <span> y = 4/3x + 1/3
Let's see if <span>(0, 0) and (2, 3) </span>belong to this line

y</span> = <span>4/3·0 + 1/3 = 1/3 </span>≠ 0
Therefore, the line does not contain (0, 0)

y = 4/3·2 + 1/3 = 9/3 = 3
Therefore, the line contains (2, 3)

ASHA 777 [7]
23 +30 (15 feet each way) = 53

28 + 30 = 58

58 x 53 = 3074ft

Find the missing term. () + (7 − 3i) + (5 + 9i) + 13i = 10 − 5i.
kotegsom [21]
X + (7 - 3i) + (5 + 9i) + 13i = 10 - 5i

Subtract 13i from both sides

x + (7 -3i) + (5 + 9i) = 10 - 18i

Subtract (5 + 9i). MAKE SURE YOU SUBTRACT 9i TOO. In other words, distribute the negative and subtract 5 and 9i at the same time.

x + (7 - 3i) = 5 - 27i

Do the same with (7 - 3i). You'll be adding 3i since -(-3i) = 3i.

x = -2 - 24i
