Ramona had 8 3/8 in. of ribbon. She used 2 1/2 in. for an art project.How many inches of ribbon does she have left?

2 answers:

8 0

$8\frac{3}{8}= \frac{67}{8}$

$2\frac{1}{2} = \frac{5}{2} = \frac{20}{8}$

$\frac{67}{8}- \frac{20}{8} = \frac{47}{8} =5 \frac{7}{8} in$

Answer: There is $5\frac{7}{8}\ in.$ left.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Length of ribbon Ramona had is given by

$8\frac{3}{8}=\frac{67}{8}\ in.$

Length of ribbon she used for a project is given by

$2\frac{1}{2}=\frac{5}{2}\ in.$

Number of inches of ribbon left is given by

$\frac{67}{8}-\frac{5}{2}\\\\=\frac{67-20}{8}\\\\=\frac{47}{8}\ in\\\\=5\frac{7}{8}\ in.$

Hence, there is $5\frac{7}{8}\ in.$ left.

Sven is trying to find the maximum amount of time he can spend practicing the five scales of piano music he is supposed to be wo

Katena32 [7]

Answer:

He should spend 3 minutes or less on each scale

Sven made a mistake in the symbol of inequality, placing lesser or equal instead of greater or equal

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

t ------> is the number of minutes he spends on each scale

Remember that the phrase "at least" is equal to "greater than or equal"

The inequality that represent this scenario is

$70-5t \geq 55$

solve for t

$-5t \geq 55-70$

$-5t \geq -15$

Multiply by -1 both sides

$5t \leq 15$

Divide by 5 both sides

$t \leq 3$

Sven is incorrect

He should spend 3 minutes or less on each scale

Sven made a mistake in the symbol of inequality, placing lesser or equal instead of greater or equal

8. In how many ways can a committee of four be selected from eight men and seven women if Miss Jones refuses to serve on the sam

____ [38]

If the exclusion of Miss Jones and Mr Smith serving together was not present, the are 15C4 = 1365 ways of selecting the committee.
Miss Jones can serve on the committee in the following ways:
a) with 3 men
b) with 2 men and another woman
c) with 1 man and 2 other women
d) with 3 other women.
Arrangement d) obviously presents no restrictions.
Arrangement a) has 7C3 ways excluding Mr Smith, and 8C3 ways if Mr Smith was included.
Arrangement b) has 7C2 * 6 ways excluding Mr Smith, and 8C2 * 6 ways if Mr Smith was included.
Arrangement c) has 7 * 6C2 ways excluding Mr Smith, and 8 * 6C2 ways if Mr smith was included.
The reductions in ways caused by the restriction are as follows:
a) 8C3 - 7C3 = 21 ways
b) 6(8C2 - 7C2) = 42 ways
c) 6C2 = 15 ways
The total reduction in the number of ways is: 21 + 42 + 15 = 78.
Therefore the total number of ways of selecting the committee, while observing the restriction, is 1365 - 78 = 1287 ways.
