To convert 0.375 to a fraction, express it as 375/1000. Simplify by dividing the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 125. This simplifies the fraction to 3/8.
Using the Pythagorean theorem, where a^2 + b^2 = c^2, substitute a = 6 and c = 10 into the equation: 6^2 + b^2 = 10^2. This simplifies to 36 + b^2 = 100. Solving for b^2 gives b^2 = 64, so b = √64 = 8 cm.
Let the original price be x. Since the sale price is $880 after a 12% reduction, 88% of x equals $880 (because 100% - 12% = 88%). Thus, 0.88x = $880. Solving for x gives x = $880/0.88 = $1000. Therefore, the original price was $1000.
First, find side b using the Pythagorean theorem: b = 8 cm. The original area is (1/2)×6×8 = 24 cm². When scaled up by 1.5, each side becomes 1.5 times longer, so the lengths are 9 cm, 12 cm, and 15 cm. The new area is (1.5^2)×24 = 2.25×24 = 54 cm² because area scales with the square of the scaling factor.
To simplify the expression 3x + 4x − 7 + 2, combine like terms. The terms 3x and 4x can be combined to get 7x. The constant terms -7 and 2 can also be combined to get -5. Therefore, the simplified expression is 7x - 5.
Let the angles be 3x, 4x, and 5x. Since the sum of angles in a triangle is 180°, set up the equation 3x + 4x + 5x = 180. This simplifies to 12x = 180, so x = 15. Therefore, the angles are 3x = 45°, 4x = 60°, and 5x = 75°.
To divide by a fraction, multiply by its reciprocal. Thus, (5/8) ÷ (3/4) becomes (5/8) × (4/3). Multiply straight across: (5×4)/(8×3) = 20/24. Simplify by dividing by the greatest common factor, 4, to get 5/6.
First, calculate 25% of $60 by multiplying 0.25 by 60, which equals $15. Then subtract this amount from the original price: $60 - $15 = $45. Therefore, the sale price of the shirt is $45.
Add up all the numbers: 6 + 9 + 12 + 15 + 18 = 60. Then divide this sum by the number of values, which is 5. Therefore, the mean is 60/5 = 12.
The area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying its length by its width. Therefore, with a length of 12 cm and a width of 7 cm, the area is 12 × 7 = 84 cm².
