A 20 in board is to be cut into 3 pieces so that the second piece is 4 times as long as the first piece and the third piece is 5 times as long as the first piece. If x represents the length of the first piece , find the length of all three pieces

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

first piece: 2in

second piece: 8in

third piece: 10in

Step-by-step explanation:

We have

first piece + second piece + third piece = 20

second piece = 4 * first piece = 4x

third piece = 5 * first piece = 5x

x + second piece + third piece = 20

plug 4x in for the second piece, 5x in for the third

x + 4x + 5x = 20

combine like terms

10x = 20

divide both sides by 10 to isolate x

x = 2

second piece = 4x = 8

third piece = 5x = 10

Sarah, Bob and Nellie are cousins. Sarah is half the age of Bob. In three years time Nellie will be twice as old as Sarah. Their ages at the moment add to 38 years. Determine the ages of Sarah, Bob and Nellie

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

Sarah is 7Bob is 14Nellie is 17

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s, b, n represent the current ages of Sarah, Bob, and Nellie, respectively.

  s = b/2 . . . . . . Sarah is half Bob's age

  2(s+3) = n+3 . . . . in 3 years, Nellie will be twice Sarah's age

  s + b + n = 38 . . . . . their ages now add to 38

__

We can rearrange the first two equations to find Bob and Nellie's age in terms of Sarah's. Then we can substitute into the third equation to find Sarah's age.

  b = 2s . . . . . . multiply the first equation by 2

  2s +3 = n . . . . subtract 3 from the second equation and simplify

  s +(2s) +(2s+3) = 38 . . . . substitute for b and n

  5s = 35 . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 3, collect terms

  s = 7 . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 5

  b = 2(7) = 14

  n = 2(7) +3 = 17

Sarah is 7, Bob is 14, and Nellie is 17.

Answer:

5 units

Subtract -6 and -1, and you get -5. -5 can't be the answer since we are asked to find the distance, so it is the absolute value of -5, 5.

Explanation:

Point A is 5 units away from 0 (the middle)

Point B is 1 unit away from 0

5 + 1 = 6

The manager at a computer recycling plant says it takes workers a minimum of 120 seconds to break down a computer monitor.

Zhi and her friends moved on to the card tables at the casino. Zhi wanted to figure out the probability of drawing a face card or an Ace.

Choose the correct probability of drawing a face card or an Ace. Answer choices are in the form of a percentage, rounded to the nearest whole number.


31%


8%


4%


25%

Answers

Answer:

8%

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, there is 52 cards per deck, 13 per suit ( club, diamond, heart, and spade)

if you multiply 13 by 4 ( 4 is dependent on the number of suit, and 4 will always be the number of suit )

The probability is 8%.

Why, because 25 would be pulling a random card and your saying you want the suit to be diamond the probability of you getting a random diamond card would be 25%. But were not doing that. So cross out 31% and 25%.

Also, 4% would be as your counting 100 cards. So that leaves me with 8%.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the attachment. There, we have identified a point C that makes ABC a right triangle with the right angle at C.

The Pythagorean theorem gives you the relationship between side lengths of a right triangle. The square of the hypotenuse (longest side) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

  AB² = AC² +BC²

We can count grid squares to find the lengths of AC and BC. They are 2 units and 7 units, respectively. This means ...

  AB² = 2² +7²

  AB² = 2·2 +7·7 = 4 +49 = 53

When we know the square, we can find what it is the square of by taking the square root. Generally, a calculator is required for this.

  AB = √53 ≈ 7.2801099

When we round this number to two decimal places (the nearest hundredth), we get ...

  AB ≈ 7.28 . . . units

_____

Additional comments

You will notice that the length AC in the diagram is the difference of the x-coordinates of points A and B. Similarly, the length BC in the diagram is the difference of y-coordinates. Then the square AB² is the sum of the squares of these differences. The length AB is the square root of that sum.

In general, this is how you find the length of a line segment from its end point coordinates.

Ruben is driving along a highway that passes through Barstow. His distance d, in miles, from Barstow is given by the equation
d = |210 − 60t|,
where t is the time, in hours, since the start of his trip and
0 ≤ t ≤ 5.
When will Ruben be exactly 90 miles from Barstow? (Enter your answers as a comma-separated list.)

Answers

The absolute value of a number returns the positive value of the given number. Ruben will be at exactly 90 miles in 2 hours or 5 hours

Given that:

[tex]d = |210 - 60t|[/tex]

To calculate t when [tex]d = 90[/tex], we have:

[tex]90 = |210 - 60t|[/tex]

Rewrite as:

[tex]|210 - 60t| = 90[/tex]

Remove absolute bracket

[tex]210 - 60t = 90 \ or\ 210 - 60t = -90[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]- 60t = -210 + 90 \ or\ - 60t = -210 -90[/tex]

[tex]- 60t = -120 \ or\ - 60t = -300[/tex]

Divide through by -60

[tex]t = 2 \ or\ t = 5[/tex]

Hence, Ruben will be at exactly 90 miles in 2 hours or 5 hours

Find the value of x if

Answers

Answer:

C. 4

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the equation [tex]\sqrt[x]{81} =3[/tex] and are asked to find the value of x.

To find x, we need to find how many times 3 can go into 81 but as an exponent, instead of saying 3 * x it would be [tex]3^x[/tex].

So find the value of each exponent by replacing it with each answer choice :

[tex]3^8 = 6561[/tex]

[tex]3^{27} = 7.6255975e+12[/tex]

[tex]3^4 = 81[/tex]

[tex]3^2 = 9[/tex]

Since to the power of 4 equals the cube root in the original equation, therefore B. is the answer.

Given log4(3) =0.7925 and log4(5) =1.1610, use log properties to find log4(300).

Answers

Answer:

4.1145

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use the following formula to solve this kind of problems,

[tex] log_{a}(b) + log_{a}(c) = log_{a}(bc) [/tex]

So, let's start of with log4_(300). Since the question have already gave log4_(3) =0.7925 and log4_(5) =1.1610. It means that you have to split the 300 into the simplest form where almost all of the numbers are 3 and 5.

[tex] log_{4}(300) = log_{4}(4 \times 5 \times 3 \times 5) \\ = log_{4}(4) + log_{4}(5) + log_{4}(3) + log_{4}(5) \\ = 1 + 1.1610 + 0.7925 + 1.1610 \\ = 4.1145[/tex]

Answers

First we put parentheses and in each bracket we put (X) and then we put the signs x² is positive and the 17X before it is a negative q is positive with negative —> negative, and negative before 17X and negative before the 60 —> positive. And then the number that does not have (x) where did it come from, for example 60 came from 20 x 3 or 30 x 2...etc. We can verify this by multiplying the parentheses together and the same number comes out .

Or it can be checked by multiplying the first bracket 3 with x from the second parenthesis comes out 3X and negative 20 from the second parenthesis with X from the first parenthesis and subtract 3X from –20xcomes out –17X .
