Ruth has 12 feet of ribbon.

Mathematics

Shkiper50 [21]2 years ago

Answer:

See I don't know the answer but I did another one like this if it doesn't help you can report it no problem

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 2 different ways you can solve this problem and you'll get the same answer.

To help you visualize what you have to do, it might be easiest to translate your problem to a unit that easier to use.

Since you only have a ribbon 5 feet long, but you must cut it into 6 pieces, you know it won't even be 1 foot long.

One way to solve the problem would be to translate your 5-foot ribbon into a ribbon divided into inches.

1 foot = 12 inches

To find out how many inches long your ribbon is, you'll need to multiply the number of feet by 12.

Once you know that, then you can more easily divide it by 6. This will tell you how many inches each ribbon is.

Careful! the answer is to be put into feet so once you know how many inches long the ribbon is, you must then divide by 12 to get the correct answer in feet. Don't forget to round to the nearest tenth.

Another way to solve the problem is to simply divide the 5 feet by the number 6 and then round your number to the nearest tenth. It may be harder to visualize the answer this way, but you will get the same answer as if you translated your ribbon into inches and then divided by 12.

Good luck! I hope this helps!

Consider the first five steps of the derivation of The Quadratic function
Burka [1]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

  • pick like terms

x² +  b²/4a² = -c / a + b²/4a²

  • b²/4a² = (b/2a)²

x² + (b/2a)² = -c/a + (b/2a)²

(x + b/2a)² = -c/a + (b/2a)² =  -c / a + b²/4a² = (-4ac+ b²)/4a²

(x + b/2a)² =  (-4ac+ b²)/4a²

  • square root both sides

√{(x + b/2a)²} = √{(-4ac+ b²)/4a²}

x + b/2a = √(-4ac+ b²) / √(4a²) = √(-4ac+ b²) / 2a = √( b²-4ac) / 2a

x + b/2a  =  √( b²-4ac) / 2a

  • subtract b/2a from both sides

x + b/2a -b/2a  =  {√( b²-4ac) / 2a } -b/2a

x = -b/2a +   {√( b²-4ac) / 2a }

  • the l.c.m is the same

x = {-b±√( b²-4ac)}/2a

Point H is the circumcenter of triangle DEF.
Crank
Circumcenter and circumcirle are shown in the attachment. Assume that the triangle is DEF instead of ABC and that the intersection of perpendiculars is H.
The definition of the circumcenter of a triangle is defined as the point of intersection of all the perpendicular bisectors in the triangle.
The circumcircle passes by all three of the triangle's vertices.

Based on the above, the right choiceS will be:
Point H is the center of the circle that passes through points D, E, and F. 
HD = HE

The weight of people in a small town in missouri is known to be normally distributed with a mean of 154 pounds and a standard de
ad-work [718]
If a random sample of 20 persons weighed 3,460, the sample mean x-bar would be 3460/20 = 173 pounds.
The z-score for 173 pounds is given by:
z=\frac{173-154}{29}=0.655
Referring to a standard normal distribution table, and using z = 0.66, we find:
P(\bar x\ \textless \ 173)=0.7454
Therefore
P(\bar x\ \textgreater \ 173)=1-0.7454=0.2546
The answer is: 0.2546

A bookseller bought 80 books at rs 30 each 20 books were stolen and he sold the remaining books at 5% loss find the selling pric
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

rs 38.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total cost of the 80 books = 80*30 = rs 2400.

He had 60 books to sell and made a  5% loss.

Thus  his income from these books was  2400 - 0.05*2400 = rs 2280.

So the selling price of each book was 2280 / 60 = rs 38.
