Sammi has 2 1/3 feet of rope. If he cuts the rope into pieces that are each 1/2 foot long, there will be 1/3 foot of rope left over. How many 1/2 foot pieces will Sammi have? Write an expression only to represent the number of 1/2 foot pieces Sammi has.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sammi has 2 1/3 feet of rope.

To write this type of fraction = 2 + 1/3 - The integer 2 in the expression is the amount of feet of rope that was cut.

Thus to know the number of 1/2 foot pieces produced, let this number be x. Thus, we have 1/2 of x pieces = 2

  x/2 = 2; x = 2x2 = 4.

Thus, Sanmi has 4 pieces of 1/2 foot long piece each of rope.

answer: are you

step-by-step explanation:

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
