<h3>Therefore she can cut 8 feet long log.</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The lengths in feet of three pieces of timber are 48,72 and 40. The sawmill operator needs to cut the timber into logs of equal length with no waste.

The HCF of 48 , 72 and 40 is =8

Therefore she can cut 8 feet long log.

Murljashka [212]
The total amount that Chang will received from his wages is the product of his hourly wage times the number of hours he has worked (n). His total savings should not be less than $125. The equation that best describes the situation is, 
                                    45 + 7n ≥ 125
Solving for n in the inequality gives an answer of n≥11.42 hours. Thus, he needs to work for at least 12 hours.

The gas mileage for a certain vehicle can be approximated by m=−0.05x2+3.5x−49, where x is the speed of the vehicle in mph. Dete
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

<h2>14mph</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the gas mileage for a certain vehicle modeled by the equation m=−0.05x²+3.5x−49 where x is the speed of the vehicle in mph. In order to determine the speed(s) at which the car gets 9 mpg, we will substitute the value of m = 9 into the modeled equation and calculate x as shown;

m = −0.05x²+3.5x−49

when m= 9

9 = −0.05x²+3.5x−49

−0.05x²+3.5x−49 = 9

0.05x²-3.5x+49 = -9

Multiplying through by 100

5x²+350x−4900 = 900

Dividing through by 5;

x²+70x−980 = 180

x²+70x−980 - 180 = 0

x²+70x−1160 = 0

Using the general formula to get x;

a = 1, b = 70, c = -1160

x = -70±√70²-4(1)(-1160)/2

x = -70±√4900+4640)/2

x = -70±(√4900+4640)/2

x = -70±√9540/2

x =  -70±97.7/2

x = -70+97.7/2

x = 27.7/2

x = 13.85mph

x ≈ 14 mph

Hence, the speed(s) at which the car gets 9 mpg to the nearest mph is 14mph
