Answer:

The length of each piece is 0.833 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of board, L = 5 ft 1 inch

loss per cut = 1/5 inch

The board should be cut by 5 times to get the 6 pieces.

The loss in 5 cuts = 5 x 1/5 = 1 inch

So, the length of each piece is

L' =\frac{5 ft 1 in - 1in }{6}\\\\L' =\frac{5}{6}\\\\L' = 0.833 ft

Answer: |81-x|<5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Temperature of an enclosure for a pet corn snake should be an average of 81° F.

Temperature in the enclosure should not vary by more than 5° F.

Let x= Temperature in the enclosure

Then, difference between average and current temperature should less the 5.

i.e. |81-x|<5     (required absolute value equation  )

hence, the absolute value equation could be used to determine the minimum and maximum temperatures recommended for the corn snake enclosure:

|81-x|<5

A student has to take two quizzes tomorrow. He has only enough time to study for one of them. The history quiz has 5 true or fal
nalin [4]

Answer:

Answer:

Option B is correct.

Miguel should study for the Science quiz as he will do worse in that quiz by guessing.

Step-by-step explanation:

Miguel has to take two quizzes

1) 4 true or false questions on History with a 0.5 chance of acing the quiz

Expected number of correct questions = np

n = number of questions

p = probability of acing the test

Expected number of correct questions = 4 × 0.5 = 2

2) 3 multiple choice questions on Science with a 0.2 chance of acing the quiz.

Expected number of correct questions = 0.2 × 3 = 0.6

It is evident that guessing would yield a worse result in the Science quiz with less than 1 question expected to be correct than history, where he is still expected to get 2 questions correctly by guessing.

Mike earns $6.50 per hour plus 4% of his sales enter an equation for mikes total earnings, e, when he works x hours and has a to
Cerrena [4.2K]
First identify what each variable means. since X is the amount of hours he works, and he makes $6.50 an hour, you know you need to multiply those two numbers together creating the 6.50x. You also know Y is his total sales, and he earns 4% of Y. To find 4% of Y you need to turn the percent into a decimal, and to do this you move the decimal two spaces to the left. Since 4 is a whole number, the decimal is after the 4 so you get .04 as your decimal. Then youd multiply .04 by Y getting .04y. Lastly you add 6.50x + .04y to get E, mikes total earnings. So your final equation is

6.50x + .04y = e

Hope this all makes sense
