The length of a rectangle is 7 inches longer than it is wide. If the area is 60 square inches, what are the
dimensions of the rectangle?

=============================================================

Explanation:

1/2 = 4/8 after multiplying top and bottom by 8

So the mixed number 7  1/2 is the same as 7  4/8

We can convert to an improper fraction like so

7  4/8

7 + 4/8

7*(8/8) + 4/8

56/8 + 4/8

(56+4)/8

60/8

Notice how dividing 60 over 8 leads to 7 remainder 4. Think of it like having 60 cookies and you want to share them amongst 8 friends. Each friend gets 7 whole cookies (7*8 = 56 taken so far) and then we have 60-56 = 4 left over as the remainder.

Through similar steps, you should find that the mixed number 1  7/8 converts to the improper fraction 15/8.

-----------------------------

To rephrase the problem with improper fractions would be to say:

"The electrician needs to buy 60/8 feet of wire. There are 15/8 feet of wire in each spool. How many spools should the electrician buy?"

Let x be the answer to that question.

We multiply the number of spools (x) by the amount of feet of wire per spool (15/8) to get the expression (15/8)x

Set this equal to the target 60/8 and solve for x

(15/8)x = 60/8

15x = 60 .... multiply both sides by 8 to clear out the fractions

x = 60/15

x = 4

The electrician needs to buy exactly 4 spools

-----------------------------

A different approach could have us convert each mixed number into decimal form

7  1/2 = 7 + 1/2 = 7 + 0.5 = 7.5

1  7/8 = 1 + 7/8 = 1 + 0.875 = 1.875

So the electrician needs to buy 7.5 ft total and each spool has 1.875 ft of wire.

Using the same idea as before, we would then have,

1.875x = 7.5

x = (7.5)/(1.875)

x = 4

Answer:

sqrt(2) =x

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use trig functions

sin theta = opp/ hyp

sin 45 = x/2

2 sin 45 =x

2 ( sqrt(2)/2) =x

sqrt(2) =x

Answer:

0.0652173

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

6 chocolate chip cookies

6 peanut butter cookies

6 sugar cookies

6 oatmeal cookies

Total number of cookies purchased = (6+6+6+6) = 24

Probability, P= required outcome /total possible outcomes

This is a selection without replacement probability problem :

P(peanut butter cookies) = 6/24 = 1/4

Then ;

P(chocolate chip cookie) = 6/23

Hence,

P(peanut butter cookies then chocolate chip cookie) = 1/4 * 6/23 = 0.0652173

Answer:

V= 562.5 pi cm^3 or approximately 1766.25 cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

If the diameter is 15, the radius is d/2 = 15/2 = 7.5

The volume of a sphere is

V = 4/3 pi r^3

V = 4/3 ( pi ) (7.5) ^3

V= 562.5 pi

If we use the approximation of 3.14 for pi

V = 1766.25 cm^3

Explanation:

When we round that value mentioned above to the nearest whole number, we end up with 340 grams. So we have to think in reverse of the rounding process to try to see which values round to 340, and go for the lowest one.

Something like 339.49 will round to 339 grams. The same applies to 339.499 and so on. This means the lowest we can go is 339.5

Going the opposite direction, there technically is no largest possible value. We could have 340.49 or 340.499 or 340.4999 and so on. These values are all approaching 340.5 but never actually get there.

In short, the possible weights x are [tex]339.5 \le x < 340.5[/tex] where rounding any of those x values to the nearest whole number will get you 340 grams. We see that 339.5 grams is the smallest possible x value.

Answer:

y=65x      and      8455 there yall go

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Begin by combining like terms and then factoring. Combining like terms will give you

[tex]10p^2-17p-20=0[/tex] Using the "old-fashioned" way of factoring, the a times c method, our a = 10, b = -17 and c = -20.

a * c = 10(-20) = -200 and now we need the factors of 200 (don't worry about the negative) that combine to give us that middle term, -17p (here is where the negative matters). The factors of 200 are:

1. 200;  2, 100;  4. 50;  5, 40;  8, 25;  10, 20

The combination of those numbers that can be manipulated to give us a -17p is the 8, 25 as long as we say that the 25 is negative and the 8 is positive. Rewrite the original polynomial to reflect those factors:

[tex]10p^2-25p+8p-20=0[/tex] and then factor by grouping:

[tex](10p^2-25p)+(8p-20)=0[/tex] and factor out from each set of parenthesis what is common:

[tex]5p(2p-5)+4(2p-5)=0[/tex] again factor out what is common:

(2p - 5)(5p+ 4) = 0. These are the factors; therefore the solutions are

2p - 5 = 0 so

2p = 5 and

p = 5/2  and

5p + 4 = 0 and

5p = -4 so

p = -4/5

Answer:

Neither a relation nor a function

Step-by-step explanation:

A relation in mathematics is a relationship between two or more set of values in an ordered pair, such as related x and y-values

An equation is a statement that gives declare the equality between two expressions

A function is a mapping rule that maps each element in the domain set to only one element in the range set

Therefore, the given equation in one variable, x, that asserts the equality of the expressions on the left and right hand side, is neither a relation nor a function

Answer:

Area of triangle =1/2b×h

1/2×10×8.7

=44 square inches

Answer:

44

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a triangle is given by

A = 1/2 bh

where b is the base and h is the height

A = 1/2 (10) (8.7)

A= 43.5

Rounding to the nearest whole number

A = 44

Answer:

y ≤ (-2)x+2

y < (1/3)x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we'll want to figure out the lines that are intersecting.

To find the equation of a line given two points (of form y=mx+b), we can first find the slope (m). This is equal to (y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁) for points (x₁,y₁) and (x₂,y₂). Then, we can plug a point in and solve for b.

For the line that has points at (1,0) and (2, -2), our slope is

(y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁) = (-2-0)/(2-1)

= (-2)/1

= -2

Our equation is therefore y= (-3/2)x+b. Plugging a point like (2,-2) in, we get

-2 = (-2)(2) + b

-2 = -4 + b

add 4 to both sides to isolate b

b =2

Our equation is thus y = (-2)x+2

For the other line, with points at (-3,1) and (0,2), our slope is (2-1)/(0-(-3)) = 1/3

Then, our equation is y=(1/3)x+b

plug (-3,1) in

1 = (1/3)(-3) + b

1 = -1 + b

add 1 to both sides to isolate the b

b =2

Our equation is thus y=(1/3)x + 2

Our equations are y=(1/3)x + 2 and y = (-2)x+2. In the graph shown, the shaded area is under both the lines (it is also to the left of them, not to the right or on top). Therefore, we can say that the shaded area is less than the line.

For y = (-2)x+2, the line is not dotted, so the line is included in the region. This means that our inequality is y ≤ (-2)x+2 (note the ≤ rather than simply the < sign)

For y=(1/3)x + 2, the line is dotted, so it is not included in the region. This means that our inequality is y < (1/3)x + 2

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

These two triangles aren't similar. The left triangle angle measures are 30,60,90. The left triangle measure is 35,55,90.

The side lengths aren't proportional as well. These triangles not similar.

Answer: I'm not sure but

similar : no

similarity statement: it's not similar because the corresponding angle of the two triangle are different

scale factor : 8/4 = 2 ( so, triangle ABC is 2 times the size of triangle LMN)

Answer:

C) -1.255

Step-by-step explanation:

We are tasked to solve for the residual value given that when x equals 29, y will be equals to 27.255. But, when it is tested, y actual value is 26. The formula in solving residual is shown below:

Residual value = Observed value - predicted value

Residual value =  26 - 27.255

Residual values = -1.255

The answer is -1.255 for residual value.

Answer:

tan(26)=x/12. x=12*tan(26)=5.9

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for this, specific to our circle, is

∠RQP = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex](arc SP - arc RP) and filling in:

∠RQP = [tex]\frac{1}{2}(170-86)[/tex] and

∠RQP = [tex]\frac{1}{2}(84)[/tex] so

∠RQP = 42°

Answer:

[tex]sin {45}^{ \circ} = \frac{x}{2} \\ = > x = 2 \: sin {45}^{ \circ} \\ = > x = 2 \times \frac{1}{ \sqrt{2} } \\ = > \green{x = \sqrt{2} }[/tex]

[tex]tan {45}^{ \circ} = \frac{x}{y} = \frac{ \sqrt{2} }{y} \\ = > y = \frac{ \sqrt{2} }{tan {45}^{ \circ} } \\ = > y = \frac{ \sqrt{2} }{1} \\ = > \pink{ y = \sqrt{ 2 } }[/tex]

we observe that this figure could be divided into a triangle and a rectangle.

for the area of the triangle, bxh/2, we have 15 x 12/2 = 90

and for the rectangle, we have 5 x 12 = 60

so, 90 + 60 = 150

hope it helps :)
