The perimeter of a rectangle is 13cm and its width is 11/4. find its length.

enyata [817]

Perimeter = 2 length + 2 width

P = 2(l) + 2(11/4)

$13 = 2l +2* \frac{11}{4}$

$13 = 2l + \frac{2}{1} * \frac{11}{4}$

$13 = 2l + \frac{22}{4}$ (subtract 22/4 from each side)

$13 -\frac{22}{4} = 2l$

$13 -\frac{11}{2} = 2l$

$\frac{26}{2} -\frac{11}{2} = 2l$

$\frac{15}{2}} = 2l$

$7.5 = 2l$ (divide each side by 2)

7.5 ÷ 2 = l

3.75 = l

The answer is 3.75 or $3 \frac{3}{4}$

Jing spent 1/3 of her money on a pack of pens, 1/2 of her money on a pack of markers, and 1/8 of her money on a pack of pencils.

Reika [66]

As per the problem

Jing spent $\frac{1}{3}$ of her money on a pack of pens.

$\frac{1}{2}$ of her money on a pack of markers.

and $\frac{1}{8}$ of her money on a pack of pencils.

Total fraction of money spent cab be given as below

Fraction of Money Spent = $\frac{1}{3} +\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{8}$

Take the LCD of denominator, we get LCD of (3,2,8)=24

Fraction of Money Spent = $\frac{8+12+3}{24} =\frac{23}{24} \\\\$

$\\ \text{Hence fraction of Money Spent }=\frac{23}{24} \\ \\ \text{Fraction of Money left}=1-\frac{23}{24} \\ \\ \text{Simplify, we get}\\ \\ \text{Fraction of Money left}=\frac{24-23}{24} \\ \\ \text{Fraction of Money left}=\frac{1}{24}$

mark has a cabinet door in his kitchen with the dimensions shown below. he creates a scale drawing where the width of the cabine

laiz [17]

Answer:

$h^{*} = 25\,in$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let consider that door has a height of 5 feet and a width of 3 feet. The scale factor is:

$n = \frac{15\,in}{3\,ft}$

$n = 5\,\frac{in}{ft}$

The height of the cabinet is:

$h^{*} = n \cdot h_{door}$

$h_{*} = \left(5\,\frac{in}{ft} \right)\cdot (5\,ft)$

$h^{*} = 25\,in$

What is the following product? (StartRoot 12 EndRoot + StartRoot 6 EndRoot) (StartRoot 6 EndRoot minus StartRoot 10 EndRoot)

Crank

Answer:

The product results in: $6\,\sqrt{2} -2\,\sqrt{30} +6-2\,\sqrt{15}$ , which agrees with answer A of the given choices.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to apply distributive property for the product of two expressions each consisting of two terms, and also use the properties of products of radicals of the same root:

$(\sqrt{12} +\sqrt{6} )(\sqrt{6} -\sqrt{10} )=\\=\sqrt{12*6} -\sqrt{12*10} +\sqrt{6*6} -\sqrt{6*10} =\\=\sqrt{72} -\sqrt{120} +\sqrt{36} -\sqrt{60}$

and now, we extract as many factors we can from the roots to reduce them:

$\sqrt{72} -\sqrt{120} +\sqrt{36} -\sqrt{60} =\\=6\,\sqrt{2} -2\,\sqrt{30} +6-2\,\sqrt{15}$
