Eli needs pieces of ribbon cut into strips that are 2 1\2 feet long. The roll of ribbon is 7 1\2 feet long. Which expression cou

julsineya [31]

Answer: There are 3 strips that can be cut from the roll of ribbon.

Step-by-step explanation:

since we have given that

Length of a ribbon is given by

$7\frac{1}{2}\ ft\\\\=\frac{15}{2}\ ft$

Length of pieces of ribbon cut into strips is given by

$2\frac{1}{2}\ ft\\\\=\frac{5}{2}\ ft$

So, we need to find the number of strips that can be cut is given by

$\text{ Number of strips }=\frac{\text{Length of roll}}{\text{ Length of strip}}\\\\=\frac{\frac{15}{2}}{\frac{5}{2}}\\\\=\frac{15\times 2}{2\times 5}\\\\=\frac{15}{5}\\\\=3$

Hence, there are 3 strips that can be cut from the roll of ribbon.

A. The average yearly salary of a lawyer is $24 thousand less than twice that of an architect.

erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

The average yearly salary of the architect is $62,000 and the lawyer is $100,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The average yearly salary of a lawyer is $24 thousand less than twice that of an architect.

Combined, an architect and a lawyer earn $ 210 thousand.

Now, to find the average yearly salary of an architect and a lawyer.

Let the average yearly salary of an architect be $x.$

So, the average yearly salary of the lawyer = $2x-24,000.$

Combined, architect and lawyer earn = $\$210,000.$

Now, to get the average salary of the architect and lawyer:

$x+(2x-24000)=210000$

$x+2x-24000=210000\\\\3x-24000=210000$

Adding both sides 24000 we get:

$3x=186,000\\\\Dividing\ both\ sides\ by\ 3\ we\ get:\\\\x=62000.$

The average salary of architect = $62,000.

Now, to get the average salary of lawyer by substituting the value of $x$ :

$2x-24000\\\\=2(62000)-24000\\\\=124000-24000\\\\=\$100,000.$

The average salary of lawyer = $100,000.

Therefore, the average yearly salary of the architect is $62,000 and the lawyer is $100,000.

From Tony's seat in the classroom, his eyes are 1.0 m above ground. On the wall 4.2 m away, he can see the top of a blackboard t

Semmy [17]

Answer:

15 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw a horizontal segment approximately 4 inches long. Label the right endpoint A and the left endpoint C. Label the length of AC 4.2 meters. That is the horizontal distance between the eye and the blackboard.

At the right endpoint, A, draw a vertical segment going up, approximately 1 inch tall. Label the upper point E, for eye. Label segment EA 1 meter since the eye is 1 meter above ground.

At the left endpoint of the horizontal segment, point C, draw a vertical segment going up approximately 2 inches. Label the upper point B for blackboard. Connect points E and B. Draw one more segment. From point E, draw a horizontal segment to the left until it intersects the vertical segment BC. Label the point of intersection D.

The angle of elevation you want is angle BED.

The length of segment BC is 2.1 meters. The length of segment CD is 1 meter. That means that the length of segment BD is 1.1 meters.

To find the measure of angle BED, we can use the opposite leg and the adjacent leg and the inverse tangent function.

BD = 1.1 m

DE = 4.2 m

tan <BED = opp/adj

tan <BED = 1.1/4.2

m<BED = tan^-1 (1.1/4.2)

m<BED = 15

Paint costing $19 per gallon is to be mixed with thinner costing $3 per gallon. How much of each should be added to make 16 gall

Evgen [1.6K]

Let x represent gallons of $19 paint
let y represent gallons of $3 paint

first you make your 2 equations

x+y=16, y=16-x
(19x+3y) ÷ 16 = 14

then you use substitution

14 = (19x + 3(16-x) ) ÷16
224 = 19x + 48 - 3x
176 = 16x
11 = x, so there's 11 gallons of $19 paint
recall that x+y=16
11+y=16
5=y

so there are 11 gallons of $19 paint and 5 gallons of $3 paint

Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

40 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the conversion

1 litre = 1000 cm³, then

40 litres = 40 × 1000 = 40000 cm³

The volume ( V) of a cuboid is

V = lbh ( divide both sides by bh )
