Catarina and Tom want to buy a rug for a room that is 8 by 12. They want to leave an even strip of flooring uncovered around the edges of the room. How wide a stip willhave if they buy a rug with an area of 32 square feet

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The strip would be 2 ft wide

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the strip be x ft long

since it is on either sides, it will take a space each of 2x

So the dimensions of the rug will be;

(8-2x) and (12-2x)

The product of these will give the area of the rug

We have this as;

(8-2x)(12-2x) = 32

96-16x-24x + 4x^2 = 32

4x^2-40x + 96-32 = 0

4x^2 -40x + 64 = 0

x^2 - 10x + 16 = 0

x^2 - 8x - 2x + 16 = 0

x(x-8) -2(x-8) = 0

(x-2)(x-8) = 0

x = 2 or 8

The value 8 will not be possible as it will need to negative dimensions

So the possible dimensions will be;

(8-2(2)) and 12-2(2)

= 8-4 and 12-4

= 4 ft by 8 ft

HELP IM LITERALLY SOBBING

Answers

Answer: Y= 8x + 2.8

Step-by-step explanation: slope is 8 (think rise over run) and y-intercept seems to be 2.8, heh hope that helped

Answer:

y=1/4x+2.75

Step-by-step explanation:

two coordinates are: (5,4) and (-3,2)

the linear function is y=mx+b

m=slope

b=y-intercept

first, find the slope

the formula to find the slope is y2-y1/x2-x1

2-4/-3-5=

-2/-8=

1/4

Now you know 1/4 is the slope.  Plug that into the function

y=1/4x+b

Now find the y-intercept

to do that, take one of your coordinates and plug the x and y values into the function.

I will use (-3,2)

2=1/4(-3)+b

2=-3/4+b

11/4=b

(or 2.75 decimal form)

Plug the y-intercept into the function and you're done

Akhil pours a total of 6/2 cups of milk as shown in the model which expression could be used to represent the total cups of milk

Answers

Full question:

A recipe calls for 2 cups of milk for every 6 1/4 cups of flour. If you increase the flour to 43 3/4 cups, how many cups of milk will you use?

Answer:

14 cups of milk

Step-by-step explanation:

The question can be rephrased how many 6 1/4 cups of flour can we get in 43 3/4 cups of flour so that we find how many cups of milk required

6 1/4 = 25/4.

Also, 43 3/4 = 175/4

We could now divide 175/4 by 25/4 to get how many 6 1/4 cups of flour are in 43 3/4 cups of flour = 175/4 / 25/4 = 175/4×4/25= 7

This means that we have seven 6 1/4 cups of flour, therefore we require 7×2 = 14 cups of milk (given that we require 2 cups of milk for every 6 1/4 cups of flour)

elie is now 4 times as old as her son. in 5 years time shes going to be 3 times as old as her son. how old is ellies son now?

Answers

Answer:

Her son is 10 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let son be x

Ellie is 4x

In 5 years time: Her son = x + 5

Ellie = 4x + 5

Given that she will then be 3 times as old as her son: 4x + 5 = 3(x + 5)

Solve x: 4x + 5 = 3(x + 5) ,4x + 5 = 3x + 15

x = 10

In one week, a mill worker worked 12,11,13,12,15,16, and 14 hours. Identify the median number of hours worked

Answers

Answer: 13

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we have to arrange the numbers in either ascending or descending order.

12,11,13,12,15,16, and 14 hours will then be: 11, 12, 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16.

The median will be gotten using the formula: = (n + 1) / 2

Since there are 7 numbers this will be:

= (n + 1) / 2

= (7 + 1) / 2

= 8/2

= 4th number

Since 13 is the 4th number, it's the median

For every 11 litres of petrol a car can run for 50 km.
How much petrol do you need (to 1 DP) to ensure the car has enough petrol of a trip that is 228 km?​

Answers

Answer:

50.2 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

11 liters = 50km

Z liters = 228km

To get the value of Z, cross multiply

228 x 11 = Z x 50

2508 = 50z

Divide both sides by 50

2508/50 = 50z/50

50.16 = z

50.16 has two decimal places, so convert to 1 decimal place by approximation

50.16 = 50.2

Thus, 50.2 liters will be enough for 228km

The required cost of each golf shirt and golf shorts is $34.7 and 26.7 respectively.

Given that,
Cassandra sells merchandise at the local golf course. 35 golf shirts and 60 golf shorts cost $3,017.50 and 68 golf shirts and 180 golf shorts cost 8,149.09. To determine the cost of each golf shirt and golf shorts.

What is simplification?

The process in mathematics to operate and interpret the function to make the function or expression simple or more understandable is called simplifying and the process is called simplification.

Here,
let the cost of each golf shirt and golf short be x and y respectively
Accoding to the question,
35x + 60y = 3017.50   - - - - - - - (1)
68x + 180y = 8149.90   - - - - - - (2)

From equation 1
x = [3017.50 - 60y] / 35  - - - - -(3)
put x in equation 2
we get
y = $34.7
now put this y in equation 3
x = $26.7

Thus, the required cost of each golf shirt and golf shorts is $34.7 and 26.7 respectively.

What's the slope intercept form, simplifying all fractions.
3x +6y = 42

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving

3x + -6y = 42

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '6y' to each side of the equation.

3x + -6y + 6y = 42 + 6y

Combine like terms: -6y + 6y = 0

3x + 0 = 42 + 6y

3x = 42 + 6y

Divide each side by '3'.

x = 14 + 2y

Simplifying

x = 14 + 2y

The slope of the equation 3x +6y = 42 is - 1 / 2.

How to find the slope of an equation?

The slope of a line is the change in the dependent variable with respect to the change in the independent variable.

Therefore, the equation a line can be represented in slope intercept form as follows;

y = mx + b

where

m = slopeb = y-intercept

Therefore,

3x + 6y = 42

6y = -3x + 42

divide both sides by 6

y = -3x / 6 + 42 / 6

y = - 1 / 2 x + 7

Therefore, the slope is - 1 / 2.
