Answer:

Their headquarters contains <u>420000</u> employees.

Step-by-step explanation:

The company has two office buildings which hold 30,000 employees.

The headquarters contains 14 times as many employees as the overseas branch.

Therefore, the number of employees in the headquarters is:

14 * 30000 = 420000 employees

Their headquarters contains 420000 employees.

I think we are to assume that one of the buildings is the headquarters and the other is the overseas branch, so this would be incorrect. We have to spit the number of employees for the 2 buildings. One will have 14 times more than the other. The answer should be under 30000.

14x + x = 30,000
15x=30,000
x=2,000
14x= 14(2,000)= 28,000

In a scale drawing of an apartment 1 centimeter represents 2 3/4 feet. if the length of the kitchens is 4 1/2 cm on the scale dr
rusak2 [61]
Given: 1 cm = 2 3/4 ft ; kitchen length = 4 1/2 cm
2 3/4 = 11/4; 4 1/2= 9/2

11/4 x 9/2 = 99/8 =12 3/8

OR You could use decimals

2 3/4 = 2.75 ; 4 1/2 = 4.5
2.75 x 4.5 = 12.375
12.375 = 12 375/1000 or 12 3/8

A rectangle is 4 cm longer than it is wide, and its area is 117 cm2 . find its dimensions.
Brilliant_brown [7]
The area of a rectangle is equal  L x  W   

4 cm longer than it is wide   L = 4 + <span>W
</span>
L x  W = 117     we replace L here 

(4 + <span>W ) x W = 117 
</span>
4W + W ^2  = 117 

<span>4W + W ^2  -117 = 0
</span>W ^2 +4 W -117 = 0

W² + 4W - 117 = 0

<span>
THEN u want to use the </span>use the quadratic formula
 

OR Factoring gives us

(W + 13)(W - 9) = 0

W = -13 or 9

But it can't be negative, so

W = 9  and L= 9+4 = 13

Alice has a 4-inch by 5-inch photo of your school’s championship girls’ ice hockey team. To celebrate their recent
Pachacha [2.7K]

Alice should pick the enlarged-photo with dimensions of 8-inch by 10-inch.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

In order for a part of the photo to not be cut off, the enlarged photo's dimensions should be of a constant ratio with the original photo's dimensions.

We divide the dimensions of the enlarged-photo with the dimensions of the original photo to check which has a constant ratio.

Step 2:

The original photo was a 4-inch by 5-inch photo.

Option 1 is 7-inch by 9-inch, so the ratios are

\frac{7}{4} = 1.75, \frac{9}{5} = 1.8. The ratios are different so this cannot be the enlarged photo's dimensions.

Option 2 is 8-inch by 10-inch, so the ratios are

\frac{8}{4} = 2, \frac{10}{5} = 2. The ratios are the same so this can be the enlarged photo's dimensions.

Option 3 is 12-inch by 16-inch, so the ratios are

\frac{12}{4} = 3, \frac{16}{5} = 3.2. The ratios are different so this cannot be the enlarged photo's dimensions.

So the enlarged-photo with dimensions of 8-inch by 10-inch should be picked.
