James has four and three fourths feet of rope he plans to cut off 1 1/2 feet from the Rope how much rope will be left

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: Well to put it in numbers, he has 4 3/4 feet of rope. He wants to cut off 1 1/2.

First we need to get common fractions. The way we do this is: is there anyway to make a 2, a four? Yes! There is! (If there is not, you have to find the Least common multiple)

How do we make this two a four? we times it by 2! But we have to be nice, and multiply the whole fraction, just to be fair.

So, we now have 4 3/4 rope, and James wants to get rid of 1 2/4 rope.

For starters, lets go easy. He has 4 foot, he wants one gone. So he has 3 feet of rope left.

But we still have the fractions! He has 3/4 rope, and we want to get rip of 2/4! so we subtract the numerators, and are left with 1/4 (its important you remember to keep the denominator in this case!)

So if we combine that, James will be left with 3 1/4 feet of rope!

4square plus 2power of xdivide by 2 equal to 16 what is the answer of this question​

Answers

Answer:

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this question by understanding what is first says. The expression tells us 4 square which is 16 plus to to the power of x and all that divided by two: 16+2^(x) / 2 = 16

Now we can solve for x:

1.  16 + 2^(x) = 32

2. 2^(x)=16

3. x=4

Rewrite each of the following radicals as a rational number or in simplest radical form. a. √3(√3-1)b. (5+√3)²c. (10+√11)(10-√11)

Answers

Answer:

a.  Rational number 1.26

Simplest radical 3−√3

b. Simplest radical 28+10√3

Rational number 45.32

c. Rational number 89

Step-by-step explanation:

a. √3(√3-1)

To get the simplest radical

Apply the distributive property.

√3*√3-√3

Combine using the product rule for radicals.

√3*3+√3*−1

Move  −1  to the left of √3.

√3*√3*3-1*√3

Multiply  3   by   3.

√9−1*√3

Rewrite  9  as  3^2

√3^2-1 *√3

Pull terms out from under the radical, assuming positive real numbers.

3−1*√3

Rewrite  −1√3  as  −√3.

3−√3

Rational number 1.26

b. (5+√3)²

Expand

(5+√3)²= 25 +5*√3+5*√3+3= 28 +10√3

Simplest radical 28+10√3

Rational number 45.32

c. (10+√11)(10-√11)

Expand

(10+√11)(10-√11)= 10*10+ 10*-√11+10*√11+√11*-√11

=100+ 10*-√11+10*√11- 11

=89- 10*√11+10*√11

=89

Write an equation in standard form for the line.
Slope is 3, and (1, 6) is on the line.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

m = 3

(1 , 6)

y - y1 = m(x -x1)

y - 6 = 3(x - 1)

y - 6 = 3x - 3

    y = 3x - 3 + 6

    y = 3x +3

Standard form:

-3x + y - 3 = 0

hancock building dimensions. the top of the john handcock building in Chicago is a rectangle whose length is 60ft more than width. the perimeter is 520 ft. find the width and the length of the rectangle. find the area of the rectangle.

Answers

Rectangle shape.
Length = x + 60 ft
Width = x
Perimeter = 520

Perimeter = 2(L+W)
520 = 2(x+60) + 2(x)
520 = 2x + 120 + 2x
520 = 4x + 120
520 - 120 = 4x
400 = 4x
400/4 = x
100 = x

Length = x + 60 = 100 + 60 = 160 ft
Width = x = 100 ft

Area = Length * Width
A = 160ft * 100ft
A = 16,000 ft²

The surface of this shape is called a rectangle.
Opposing sides of the rectangle are of equal length .
To fully fenced backyard you have to put a fence line the sides of the rectangle. The length of the fence will be equaled total sides of the rectangle.
the sum of the sides of the rectangle = perimeter of a rectangle
 2a   +   2b                                          = P

a = 12 1/2 yards
b =  5 1/2 yards

2* 12 1/2 yards + 2* 5 1/2 yards = 25yards + 11 yards = 36 yards
