Abby caught a fish that was 10 3/8 inches long. brandon caught a fish that was 8 5/8 inches long. how much longer was abby's fish than brandon's fish?

what you do is take 5 away from 3. No! Borrow 1 Whole (9) and makes it 9 13/8 - 8 5/8 then subtract the 2 fractions

and that is

then convert that into 1 whole. Now add the whole to the 9 and thats 10. Now, subtract the 2 whole numbers. 10-8=2 so the answer is 2

56.6

step-by-step explanation:

the ratio of the perimeters is equal to the scale.

the ratio of the areas is equal to the square of the scale.

34 / 20 = k

a / 19.6 = k²

substituting:

a / 19.6 = (34 / 20)²

a = 19.6 (34 / 20)²

a ≈ 56.6

x = ±sqrt(10)

step-by-step explanation:

5 - 2x² = -15

subtract 5 from each side

5-5 - 2x² = -15-5

-2x^2   = -20

divide by -2 on each side

-2x^2   /-2= -20/-2

x^2 =10

take the square root on each side

sqrt(x^2 )=±sqrt(10)

x = ±sqrt(10)

check:

5 - 2x² = -15

+sqrt(10)

5 - 2(sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15

-sqrt(10)

5 - 2(-sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15
