For blue marbles:
16 = 8 * 2 ( 8 groups with 2 marbles in everyone of them )
For white marbles:
8 = 4 * 2 ( 4 groups with 2 )
8 + 4 = 12
Answer:
The greatest number of groups Colton can make is 12.

Aiden borrows a book from a public library. He read a few pages on day one. On day two, he reads twice the number of pages than

Fofino [41]

Let the number of pages read on day 1 be = x

Then on day 2 he read twice the pages from day one, it is = 2x

On 3rd day he read 6 pages less than 1st day, it is = x-6

Total pages are = 458

The equation becomes: $x+2x+x-6=458$

$4x-6=458$

$4x=464$

$x=116$

So on the third day, Aiden read $x-6=116-6=110$ pages.

What is the perimeter of the trapezoid with vertices Q(8, 8), R(14, 16), S(20, 16), and T(22, 8)? Round to the nearest hundredth

uysha [10]

Answer:

The perimeter of the trapezoid is $38.25\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The perimeter of the trapezoid is the sum of its four side lengths

so

In this problem

$P=QR+RS+ST+QT$

the formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

$d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2}+(x2-x1)^{2}}$

we have

$Q(8, 8), R(14, 16), S(20, 16),T(22, 8)$

step 1

Find the distance QR

$Q(8, 8), R(14, 16)$

substitute the values in the formula

$d=\sqrt{(16-8)^{2}+(14-8)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(8)^{2}+(6)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{100}$

$QR=10\ units$

step 2

Find the distance RS

$R(14, 16), S(20, 16)$

substitute the values in the formula

$d=\sqrt{(16-16)^{2}+(20-14)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(0)^{2}+(6)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{36}$

$RS=6\ units$

step 3

Find the distance ST

$S(20, 16),T(22, 8)$

substitute the values in the formula

$d=\sqrt{(8-16)^{2}+(22-20)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(-8)^{2}+(2)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{68}$

$ST=8.25\ units$

step 4

Find the distance QT

$Q(8, 8),T(22, 8)$

substitute the values in the formula

$d=\sqrt{(8-8)^{2}+(22-8)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(0)^{2}+(14)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{196}$

$QT=14\ units$

step 5

Find the perimeter

$P=10+6+8.25+14=38.25\ units$

Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

Given that 1minute =3/7of the vessel

let the time taken in minutes to fill the whole of the vessel be' x' minute.

1min =3/7

xmin =whole vessel =1=7/7

=3x/7=1=x=7/3=2.3min=2min.3sec
