Work out 5/8−2/5 Give your answer in its simplest form.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: (5)/(8) -  (2)/(5)

First, find the LCD (least common denominator) of the two fractions.
List the multiples of each denominator and find the one that is common.
Multiples of 8: 8, 16, 24, 32, 40
Multiples of 5: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40
40 is your LCD.

Second, what can you divide by to make the denominators of each fraction '40'? Whatever you do to the bottom you must do to the top.
(5*5)/(8*5) - (2*8)/(5*8)

Third, multiply.
(25)/(40) - (16)/(40)

Fourth, since the denominators are the same now, we can combine them.
(25-16)/(40)

Fifth, subtract '25 - 16' to get 9.
(9)/(40)

Since (9)/(40) is already in the simplest form, it is your answer.

Answer as fraction: (9)/(40)
Answer as decimal: 0.225

Answers

I hope that there is enough information in this answer:

Sphere Vol = 4/3Pi radius^3

Give the 4/3Pi bit a constant - 'C'
Vol = C x radius^3

V1 = C 3^3 = 27C
V2 = C 5^3 = 125C

New Volume = 27C + 125C = 152C

A rectangle has an area of 4x2 +19x + 12 and a length of (x + 4). What is the width?

Answers

The width of the rectangle with an area x² = 19x + 12 is (4x + 3).

What are the area and perimeter of a rectangle?

The area of a rectangle is the product of its length and width.

The perimeter of a rectangle is the sum of the lengths of all the sides.

We know the area of a rectangle is (length×widh).

Given, A rectangle has an area of 4x² + 19x + 12 and a length of (x + 4).

∴ width of the rectangle is = (4x² + 19x + 12)/(x + 4).

Or, we know that the product of two linear equations is a quadratic so,

4x² + 19x + 12.

4x² + 16x + 3x + 12.

4x(x + 4) + 3(x + 4).

(x + 4)(4x + 3).

So, the width of the rectangle is (4x + 3).

The answer is (4x + 3) (x + 4)

A box is 50 cm long. Which of these is closest to the length of this box in feet? (1 inch = 2.54 cm)1.02 feet
1.17 feet
1.64 feet
4.15 feet

Answers

If you would like to transform 50 cm to feet, you can do this using the following steps:

1 inch = 2.54 centimeters

1 inch ... 2.54 cm
x inches = ? ... 50 cm

1 * 50 = 2.54 * x
50 = 2.54 * x
x = 50 / 2.54
x = 19.69 inches

1 foot = 12 inches

1 foot ... 12 inches
y feet = ? ... 19.69 inches

1 * 19.69 = 12 * y
19.69 = 12 * y
y = 19.69 / 12
y = 1.64 feet

The correct result would be 1.64 feet.

Answer:

1.64 feet.

If ABCD is a parallelogram, what is the length of BD?

A. 10
B. 12
C. 7
D. 5

Answers

Answer:

x = 11

BD = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving for x

The opposite sides if a parallelogram are equal and parallel.

Hence,

2x - 5 = 17

Collecting like terms:

2x = 17 + 5

2x = 22

x = 11

If E is a midpoint, then BE equals to DE

Since BE = 5, then

BD = 2 * BE

BD = 10
