Answer:

492 0/10

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that the perimeter is 4 times the length of the side, now we know that this side "l" is given by:

l = 4 in * 24 + 23 * 5 ft

l = 96 in + 115 ft

Now, we pass the inches to pes, knowing that 1 foot equals 12 inches, so

96 in * 1 ft / 12 in = 8 ft

therefore replacing it remains:

l = 8 ft + 115 ft

l = 123 ft

now the perimeter:

p = 123 * 4

p = 492

to change to a mixed number:

4920/10 = 492 0/10

Answer:

129 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Alcumus, "There are 20 square posts which are not on a corner, so there are $20/4=5$ square posts on each side, not including the corner posts. Including the corner posts, there are 7 posts on a side, which means that there are 6 five-foot gaps between posts. Altogether the length of a side is $7\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)+6(5)=32\frac{1}{3}$ feet. The perimeter of the square is four times the side length, so the perimeter is $4\cdot 32\frac{1}{3}=\boxed{129\frac{1}{3}}$ feet."

Prove that x is a subset of y then x union z is a subset of y union z for all sets x y and z
Ganezh [65]

We are to show that if X ⊆ Y then (X ∪ Z) ⊆ (Y ∪ Z) for sets X, Y, Z.

Assume that a is a representative element of X, that is, a ∈ X. By the definition of union, a ∈ X ∪ Z. Now because X ⊆ Y and we assumed a ∈ X, then a ∈ Y by the definition of subset. And because a ∈ Y, then a ∈ Y ∪ Z by definition of union.

We chose our representative element, a, and showed that a ∈ X ∪ Y implies that a ∈ Y ∪ Z and this completes the proof.

What is the true solution to l n 20 + l n 5 = 2 l n x x = 5 x = 10 x = 50 x = 100
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

l n 20 + l n 5 = 2 l n x

ln (20×5) = ln x²

ln(100) = lnx²

100 = x²

x = +/- 10

Since logs of negative numebrs don't exist, we reject -10

PLEASE HELP ASAP: A particle is moving with velocity v(t) = t2 – 9t + 18 with distance, s measured in meters, left or right of z
dimaraw [331]
1) \frac{v(8)-v(0)}{8 - 0} = \frac{10-18}{8} = -1\frac{m}{s}.
2) v(5) = 5^2-9*5+18 = 25-45+18 = -2\frac{m}{s}.
3) The particle is moving right when the velocity function is positive: 0\ \textless \ t\ \textless \ 3 or 6\ \textless \ t\ \textless \ 8.
4) When 0\ \textless \ t\ \textless \ \frac{9}{2} the particle is slowing down because the acceleration is close to zero \Rightarrow the particle is speeding up when acceleration is increasing away from zero: \frac{9}{2}\ \textless \ t\ \textless \ 8.
5) (\frac{1}{8})* \int\limits^8_0 {t^2-9t+18dt}=\frac{1}{8}*(\frac{t^3}{3}-(\frac{9}{2}*t^2+18t)_{0}^{8}= \\=(\frac{1}{8})*(\frac{8^3}{3}-(\frac{9}{2})*8^2+18*8)=\frac{8^2}{3}-(\frac{9}{2})*8+18=3\frac{1}{3} \frac{m}{s}.

James and his family spend a morning picking peaches. They fill several bags. This line plot shows the weight of each bag.
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

1 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to figure out the lightest and the heaviest bad. The lightest bag is 4 1/4 and the heaviest is 5 3/4. Now to subtract, you can't subtract this as a mixed fraction so turn each fraction into an improper fraction by multiplying the whole number by the denominator then adding the numerator to the product of the whole number multiplied  by the denominator (if you didn't know numerator is the top and the denominator is the bottom. To find out 4 1/4 as an improper fraction follow these steps (4*4+1=17) so 4 1/4=17/4. The process is the same for 5 3/4 (5*4+3=23) so   5 3/4= 23/4. Now to subtract, you subtract the numerator but not the denominator. You subtract because the question asks how many more and that means to subtract 23/4-17/4= 6/4. Last step is to turn this back into a mixed fraction do that by dividing the numerator by the denominator, 6 divided by 4 equals 1.5 and turn the decimal into a fraction 1 is a whole number so you don't  change that but the 5 behind the decimal needs to be changed so now 1.5= 1 5/10 and last step is simplify 1 1/2. Hope this helped :).
