A fraction has the following form:
[tex]\frac{a}{b}[/tex]Where "a" is the numerator and "b" is the denominator. Both are Integers.
In order to write a fraction as a decimal number, you must divide the numerator by the denominator. So, you have that the given fractions expressed as decimal numbers, are:

Answer:
The arc length is;
[tex]\frac{5\pi}{3}\text{ in}[/tex]Explanation:
Given that the central angle of the arc is;
[tex]\theta=\frac{\pi}{6}[/tex]Recall that the formula for the length of an arc is;
[tex]\begin{gathered} l=\frac{\theta}{360}\times2\pi r=\frac{\theta}{2\pi}\times2\pi r=\theta r \\ \theta\text{ (in rad)} \end{gathered}[/tex]substituting the central angle and radius;
[tex]\begin{gathered} l=\theta r=\frac{\pi}{6}\times10 \\ l=\frac{5}{3}\pi\text{ in} \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, the arc length is;

4. Adam used elimination to solve the system of equations to the right and found the solution x=9. What is the corresponding value for y that creates the solution to the system?
Since Adam has already found the value of x, We just need to replace x into any of the equations and solve for y. So, let's replace the value of x into the 1st equation:
[tex]\begin{gathered} -4x+9y=9 \\ -4(9)+9y=9 \\ -36+9y=9 \end{gathered}[/tex]Add 36 to both sides:
[tex]\begin{gathered} -36+9y+36=9+36 \\ 9y=45 \end{gathered}[/tex]Divide both sides by 9:

Answer:
The image below will be used to explain the question
From the image above,
We will have the following relationships
[tex]\begin{gathered} \angle\text{BCD}=\angle CDF(alternate\text{ angles ar equal)} \\ \angle\text{BCD}=35^0 \\ \angle CDF=x \end{gathered}[/tex]With the relation above, we can conclude that

The value of x = 33°
Step 2:
The following relation below will be used to calculate the value of y
[tex]\begin{gathered} \angle CBD=\angle BDE(alternate\text{ angles are equal)} \\ \angle CBD=109^0 \\ \end{gathered}[/tex]By applying this, we will conclude that
[tex]\angle BDE=109^0[/tex]The relation below will be helpful to get the exact value of y
[tex]\begin{gathered} \angle BDE+\angle CDF+\angle CDB=180^0(SUM\text{ OF ANGLES ON A STRAIGHT LINE)} \\ \angle BDE=109^0 \\ \angle CDF=x=33^0 \\ \angle CDB=y \end{gathered}[/tex]By substituting the values, we will have
[tex]\begin{gathered} \angle BDE+\angle CDF+\angle CDB=180^0 \\ 109^0+33+y=1180^0 \\ 142^2+y=180^0 \\ y=180-142 \\ y=38^0 \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence,
The value of y= 38°

Given:
Jeremiah is painting a fence. In total, he needs to paint 36 square meters.
Required:
If Jeremiah can paint for square meters in one hour. Find how many square meters he has left to paint.
Explanation:
Jeremiah can paint four square meters in one hour.
Time required to paint fence
[tex]=\frac{area\text{ of the fence}}{area\text{ painted in one hour}}[/tex]The required time to paint the fence
[tex]\begin{gathered} =\frac{36}{4} \\ =9\text{ hours } \end{gathered}[/tex]The left area after painting one hour = 36 - 4 = 32 square meters.

a)
From the graph, the coefficient of a, b, and c are:

b = -1.39
c = 5.24
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{The quadratic model is} \\ h=-15.19t^2\text{ - 1.39t + 5.24} \end{gathered}[/tex]b)

[tex]\begin{gathered} h\text{ = -15.19 }\times0.3^2\text{ - 1.39 }\times\text{ 0.3 + 5.24} \\ h\text{ = -1.3671 - 0.417 + 5.24} \\ h\text{ = 3.4559} \\ h\text{ = 3.46 feet} \end{gathered}[/tex]c)
To find the height after 0.52 seconds, you will substitute t = 0.52
[tex]\begin{gathered} h\text{ = -15.19 }\times0.52^2\text{ - 1.39 }\times\text{ 0.52 + 5.24} \\ h\text{ = -4.11 - 0.723 + 5.24} \\ \text{h = 0.417} \end{gathered}[/tex]d)
0.30 seconds is more reliable.

Write a system of equations to describe the situation below, solve using any method, and fill in the blanks.Mr. Larsen and Ms. Ortega are teaching their classes how to write in cursive. Mr. Larsen has already taught his class 5 letters. The students in Ms. Ortega's class, who started the unit later, currently know how to write 12 letters. Mr. Larsen plans to teach his class 2 new letters per week, and Ms. Ortega intends to cover 1 new letter per week. Eventually, the students in both classes will know how to write the same number of letters. How long will that take? How many letters will the students know?
Given:
5 letters were completed in Mr. Larsen's class.
12 letters were completed in Ms. Ortega's class.
Mr. Larsen plans to teach his class 2 new letters per week, and Ms. Ortega intends to cover 1 new letter per week.
Mr. LarsenLet x be the number of letters learned in Mr. Larsen's class.
Let y be the number of letters learned in Ms. Ortega's class.
Let t be the number of weeks.
[tex]x=5+2t[/tex][tex]y=12+(1)t[/tex]
The same number of letters learned after t weeks. So x=y.
Set x=y, to find the value for t.
[tex]5+2t=12+t[/tex]Subtracting t from both sides, we get
[tex]5+2t-t=12+t-t[/tex][tex]5+t=12[/tex]Subtracting 5 from both sides, we get
[tex]5+t-5=12-5[/tex][tex]t=7\text{ w}eeks[/tex]After 7 weeks the students in both classes will know how to write the same number of letters
Substitute t=7 in x to find the number of letters.
[tex]x=5+2\times7[/tex][tex]x=5+14[/tex][tex]x=19\text{ letters}[/tex]The students know 19 letters.
Hence after 7 weeks, the students in both classes will know how to write 19 letters.

[tex]\mleft(3x-5\mright)-4\mleft(x-2\mright)[/tex]You need to remember the following:
- The Sign Rules for Multiplication:
[tex]\begin{gathered} +\cdot+=+ \\ -\cdot-=+ \\ -\cdot+=- \\ +\cdot-=- \end{gathered}[/tex]- The Distributive Property:
[tex]\begin{gathered} a(b+c)=ab+ac \\ \\ a(b-c)=ab-ac \end{gathered}[/tex]Then, the steps to simplify the expression are:
1. Apply the Distributive Property:
[tex]\begin{gathered} =(3x-5)-(4)(x)+(4)(2) \\ =3x-5-4x+8 \end{gathered}[/tex]2. Finally, add the like terms:
[tex]=-x+3[/tex]Therefore, the answer is:
[tex]-x+3[/tex]If a 48-pound beef round is roasted, and 9 pounds are lost through shrinkage, what percent of the round is lost through shrinkage?
we can write an equation
you multiply the total pounds by the percent lost to find the lost pounds
then
[tex]48\times x=9[/tex]where x is the percent lost, then solve for x
[tex]\begin{gathered} x=\frac{9}{48} \\ \\ x=\frac{3}{16}=0.1875 \end{gathered}[/tex]multiply by 100 to find on percent form
[tex]0.1875\times100=18.75[/tex]Percent is 18.75%
