If they are not on the same dimension then you cannot do this. They will be different numbers and will not go together.

Is it possible to add a scalar to a vector?

It is not possible the addition of scalars as well as vectors because vector quantities are magnitude as well as direction and scalar quantities are the only magnitude; they have no directions at all. Addition is possible between scalar to scalar and vector to vector. Under some circumstances, you may be able to treat scalar quantities as being along some previously undefined dimension of a vector quantity, and add them that way. For example, you can treat time as a vector along the t-axis and add it to an xyz position vector in 3-space to come up with a four-dimensional spacetime vector.


Is it possible to be moving from one dimension to another in a physical way?

Nothings impossible.


Is it possible to connect 3 houses to 3 utilities without crossing lines?

this is not possible unless it is in a 3-d dimension


If you are locked in a cube which you can not get out is it then possible to escape by using the fourth dimension?

The fourth dimension has never been reached, may not exist, and frankly nothing is known about it, so while it may be theoretically possible to do this, it has never been done and is likely impossible.


What is the eleventh dimension?

The best explanation is done by this video http://revver.com/video/99898/imagining-the-tenth-dimension/ Watch it all the way through, and your welcome! I watched the video. There is no 11th dimension, but the tenth dimension is all possible universes inside a geometrical point. There cannot be anything more than that.

What is eight over fifteen reduced to?

8/15 cannot be reduced further as a fraction. The only simplification possible is equating it to a decimal, which would be 0.533333.....

How do you compare possible career progression routes?

Comparing possible career progression routes is often done with equating them to the financial benefits associated with each. In this way, the lost wages from protracted training can be justified for their financial benefits over time.

What does scale in draffting mean?

Scale provides the ability to measure a depicted feature or arrangement of features on the drawing, and scale it to what it was / will be in the real world. It is not always possible to dimension every possible feature, and a scaled drawing allows someone to infer what a given dimension will be.
