Convert all to decimals
percent means parts out of 100
13%=13/100=0.13

'of' means mutiply

Tom=13% of 4
tom=0.13 times 4
tom=0.52 lb

Lisa=0.6 lb

Jane=0.12 of 4
jane=0.12 times 2
jane=0.48

Tom=0.52
Lisa=0.60
Jane=0.48

Lisa used the most

The area of the rectangle is 64.8 square centimeters. What is the perimeter of the rectangle? One group of ten tenths and one gr
9966 [12]

Answer:

(a) Perimeter = 32.2\ cm

(b) 100

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving (a):

Given

Shape: Rectangle

Area = 64.8

Required

Calculate the perimeter.

Area is calculated as:

Area = L * W

Where

L = Length and W = Width

Substitute 64.8 for Area

64.8 = L * W

Make L the subject:

L = \frac{64.8}{W}

Perimeter is calculated as:

P = 2 * (L + W)

Substitute 64.8/W for L

P = 2 * (\frac{64.8}{W} + W)

P = \frac{129.6}{W} + 2W

To solve further, we take the derivative of P and set it to 0, afterwards.

dP = -\frac{129.6}{W^2} + 2

Set to 0

0 = -\frac{129.6}{W^2} + 2

Collect Like Terms

\frac{129.6}{W^2} = 2

Cross Multiply:

2W^2= 129.6

Divide through by 2

W^2 = 64.8

Take square roots

W = \sqrt{64.8

W = 8.05

Recall that:

L = \frac{64.8}{W}

So:

L= \frac{64.8}{8.05}\\

L= 8.05

The perimeter is:

Perimeter = 2 * (8.05 + 8.05)

Perimeter = 2 * (16.10)

Perimeter = 32.2\ cm

Solving (b):

Given

((1 Group of 10 tenths) and (1 group of 8 tenths))/(6 groups of 3 tenths)

Required

Solve

Tenths = \frac{1}{10}

So, the expression becomes:

((1 Group of 10 * \frac{1}{10}) and (1 group of 8 * \frac{1}{10}))/(6 groups of 3 * \frac{1}{10})

This gives:

((1 Group of \frac{10}{10}) and (1 group of \frac{8}{10}))/(6 groups of \frac{3}{10})

Group means product, so the expression becomes:

\frac{(1 * \frac{10}{10} \ and\ 1 * \frac{8}{10})}{6 * \frac{3}{10}}

And, as used here means addition

\frac{(1 * \frac{10}{10} +  1 * \frac{8}{10})}{6 * \frac{3}{10}}

Simplify:

\frac{(1 * 1 +  1 * 0.80)}{6 *0.30}

\frac{(1 +  0.80)}{1.80}

\frac{1.80}{1.80}

= 1.00

Tania has a set of nesting rings. This table shows the relationship between the radius of a ring and the ring's circumference.
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

The circumference is 59.66 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The circumference of a circle (ring) is given by the formula

C=2\pi r

If the radius is

r=9.5\ cm

substitute in the formula

C=2\pi (9.5)

C=19\pi\ cm ----> exact value

assume

\pi =3.14

substitute

C=19(3.14)=59.66\ cm

f(x) = x^2+3x-10

f(x+5) = (x+5)^2+3(x+5)-10 ... replace every x with x+5

f(x+5) = (x^2+10x+25)+3(x+5)-10

f(x+5) = x^2+10x+25+3x+15-10

f(x+5) = x^2+13x+30

Compare this with x^2+kx+30 and we see that k = 13

Factor and solve the equation below

x^2+13x+30 = 0

(x+10)(x+3) = 0

x+10 = 0 or x+3 = 0

x = -10 or x = -3

The smallest zero is x = -10 as its the left-most value on a number line.
