After solving $1.32:3 \frac{1}{7}=(1.4y):\frac{5}{6}$ we get y=0.24

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve the ratio: $1.32:3 \frac{1}{7}=(1.4y):\frac{5}{6}$ and find value of y

Solving:

$1.32:3 \frac{1}{7}=(1.4y):\frac{5}{6}$

Converting fractions into decimals

$1.32:3.14=(1.4y):0.83$

Ratio can be written as:

$\frac{1.32}{3.14}=\frac{1.4y}{0.83}$

Now cross multiply

$1.32*0.83=1.4y*3.14$

$1.09=4.39y$

$y=\frac{1.09}{4.39}$

$y=0.24$

So, after solving $1.32:3 \frac{1}{7}=(1.4y):\frac{5}{6}$ we get y=0.24

Answer:

4.113 × 10⁴ pounds per acre = 41,130 pounds per acre to the nearest pounds per acre

Step-by-step explanation:

9.46 × 10⁻¹ pounds of potatoes were produced for every 2.3 × 10⁻⁵ acre harvested. The average pounds of potatoes harvested per acre would be pounds of potatoes/acres harvested = 9.46 × 10⁻¹ pounds/2.3 × 10⁻⁵ acre = 4.113 × 10 ⁻¹⁻⁻⁵ = 4.113 × 10⁵⁻¹ = 4.113 × 10⁴ pounds per acre = 41,130 pounds per acre to the nearest pounds per acre.

A rectangular piece of plywood has a diagonal which measures two feet more than the width. The length of the plywood is twice th

icang [17]

Answer:

The length of the plywood's diagonal(to the nearest tenth) is, 3.6 and 1.4

Step-by-step explanation:

let l be the length and w be the width of the rectangle respectively;

Diagonal(D) of a rectangle is given by:

$D = \sqrt{l^2+w^2}$ ......[1]

As per the given statement we have;

Diagonal(D) = width + 2

and

$l = 2 \times w$ = 2w

Now, substitute these in [1] we have;

$\sqrt{(2w)^2+w^2} = w+5$

Squaring both the sides we get;

$4w^2+w^2 = (w+2)^2$

$5w^2 = w^2 + 4 + 4w$

$5w^2 -w^2 = 4w + 4$ or

$4w^2= 4w + 4$

Simplify:

$w^2-w-1 =0$ ......[2]

The quadratic equation is in the form of $ax^2+bx+c = 0$

the solution is given by: $x = \frac{-b \pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

On comparing with [1] we get

a= 1 , b = -1 and c = -1

Then the solution is:

$w= \frac{-(-1) \pm\sqrt{(-1)^2-4(1)(-1)}}{2(1)}$

$w =\frac{1 \pm\sqrt{1+4}}{2} = \frac{1 \pm\sqrt{5}}{2}$

Simplify:

$w \approx 1.62$ and $w \approx -0.62$

Then, the diagonal D = w+2

For $w \approx 1.62$

$D = 1.62 +2 \approx 3.62$

For $w \approx -0.62$

$D =-0.62 +2 \approx 1.38$

therefore, the length of the plywood's diagonal(to the nearest tenth) is, 3.6 and 1.4

Elias and Niko are polishing the silver at the heritage museum.Elias could polish all the silver himself in 40 minutes.That task

irina1246 [14]

Let x be the time it takes Elias and Niko to polish the silver working together. If Elias works alone, he could polish all the silver himself in 40 minutes. Then, in 1 minute, he will make $\frac{1}{40}$ of the total work. If the same analysis is applied Niko, in 1 minute, will make $\frac{1}{50}$ of the total work.

Working together Elias and Niko will need x minutes to make all the work. Then, in 1 minute, they will make $\frac{1}{x}$ of the total work. So, the fraction of the total work they make in 1 minute is given by this equation:
