2/3 - 1/2
= 4/6 - 3/6
= 1/6
so
1/6 of penny bank = 120 pennies
full bank = 120 x 6 = 720 pennies

answer
<span>Debra's bank can hold 720 pennies</span>

Rebecca went swimming yesterday. After a while she had covered one fifth of her intended distance. After swimming six more lengt
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

Option E.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the intended length of Rebecca's swimming is = x units

and we assume the length of the pool = l units

Now it is given in the question that " She covers one fifth of her intended distance "

That means distance covered = \frac{x}{5}

" After swimming six more lengths of the pool she had covered one quarter of her intended distance"

So \frac{x}{5}+6(l)=\frac{x}{4}

6l=\frac{x}{4}-\frac{x}{5}

6l=\frac{x}{20}

x = 20×(6l)

x = 120l

Therefore, Rebecca has to complete 120 lengths of the pool.

Option E is the answer.

Find perimeter of regular pentagon is 100 inches. Find the length of each side.
Sergio [31]
A regular pentagon is a polygon with five sides of equal length.

The perimeter of a regular polygon is the number of sides (n) multiplied by the length of one side (s).

P=ns
100=5s
s=20

The length of each side is 20 inches

A heap of rubbish in the shape of a cube is being compacted into a smaller cube. Given that the volume decreases at a rate of 3
inna [77]

Answer:

-1/4 meter per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, the volume of a cube,

V=r^3

Where, r is the edge of the cube,

Differentiating with respect to t ( time )

\frac{dV}{dt}=3r^2\frac{dr}{dt}

Given, \frac{dV}{dt}=-3\text{ cubic meters per minute}

Also, V = 8 ⇒ r = ∛8 = 2,

By substituting the values,

-3=3(2)^2 \frac{dr}{dt}

-3=12\frac{dr}{dt}

\implies \frac{dr}{dt}=-\frac{3}{12}=-\frac{1}{4}

Hence, the rate of change of an edge is -1/4 meter per minute.

A rock is thrown in the air from the edge of a seaside cliff. Its height in feet is represented by f(x) = –16(x^2 – 8x – 9), whe
algol13
Since x is the number of seconds it took the rock to hit the water, x is the value that we are looking for. When the rock hits the water, it's height is 0, therefore, f(x) = 0. So, we can set the expression on the right equal to 0, and solve for 0. Let's do just that:
0 = -16(x^2-8x-9)

We can divide by -16, nothing will happen because 0 divided by anything is 0:
0 = x^2-8x-9

To factor any trinomial in standard form (given below), we must find two numbers that add to "b" and multiply to "c":
0 = ax^2 + bx + c

So, for this specific question, let's find two numbers that add to -8 and multiply to 9. These are clearly 9 and -1. We can write it in this way now:
0 = (x-9)(x+1)

Both answers would be valid, but there can't be negative time, so your answer is "It takes 9 seconds for the rock to reach the water."
