An 8 1/2 sheet of paper is being cut into 1 9/16 inch strips to make a paper chain how many strips can be made from one sheet of

paper

Given that length of the paper sheet that is being cut = 8 \frac{1}{2}

Given that length of the smaller piece of paper that is obtained after cutting the original paper = 1 \frac{9}{16}

Now we have to find how many such strips can be formed.

To find that we will just divide length of the original paper sheet by the length of the new paper sheet.

Number of paper strips = \frac{8\frac{1}{2}}{1\frac{9}{16}}

Number of paper strips = \frac{\frac{8*2+1}{2}}{\frac{1*16+9}{16}}

Number of paper strips = \frac{\frac{17}{2}}{\frac{25}{16}}

Number of paper strips = \frac{17}{2}*\frac{16}{25}

Number of paper strips = \frac{17*16}{2*25}

Number of paper strips = \frac{272}{50}

Number of paper strips =5.44

Hence final answer is 5.44 strips.

Joline is solving the equation 0 = x2 – 5x – 4 using the quadratic formula. Which value is the negative real number solution to
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

- 0.7

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the general quadratic formula, as " x = -b \frac{+}{-}  \sqrt{(b^2-4ac)} / 2a. " This can be represented by two separate formula's, which will come in handy when determining the positive and negative roots of the equation ( and here we need the negative root ):

1 ) x = - b+ ( \sqrt{b^2-4ac} ) / 2a,

2 ) x = - b- ( \sqrt{b^2-4ac} ) / 2a

We know that a = 1, b = - 5, and c = - 4 from the equation " 0 = x^2 - 5x - 4 " ( which can be rewritten in the form 0 = ax^2 + bx + c ). Therefore, simply plug in these values into the quadratic formula to receive two solutions:

x = 5 + ( \sqrt{( - 5 )^2 - 4( 1 )( - 4 )} ) / 2( 1 ),\\x = 5 + ( \sqrt{25 + 16} ) / 2,\\x = 5 + \sqrt{41} / 2,\\x = ( About ) 5.7- This is our positive solution

__________

x = 5 - ( \sqrt{( - 5 )^2 - 4( 1 )( - 4 )} ) / 2( 1 ),\\x = 5 - ( \sqrt{25 + 16} ) / 2,\\x = 5 - \sqrt{41} / 2,\\x = ( About ) - 0.7- And this is our negative solution

You can see that - 0.7 is the negative real number solution to Joline's quadratic equation!
