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.

I rent a gym for $150.00 for 30 students. Another time I rent the gym for $270.00 for 70 students. I need to find a fixed rate.
masha68 [24]

Answer: y = 3x + 60

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Set up two equations and solve the system:

 270 = 70x + b

- <u>(150 = 30x + b)</u>

  120 = 40x

    3   =  x

Input "x" into one of the equations and solve for "b":

150 = 30x + b

150 = 30(3) + b

150 = 90 + b

60 = b


Equation: y = 3x + 60

This means that there is a flat fee of $60 plus a rate of $3 per student

Triangle J K L is shown. Angle J K L is a right angle. An altitude is drawn from point K to point M on side L J to form a right
KiRa [710]

Answer:

3\sqrt{5}\ units

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Theorem 1:</u> The height of right triangle drawn from the right angle to the hypotenuse divides the hypotenuse into two segments. The length of the altitude is the geometric mean of these two segments. Hence,

KM^2=ML\cdot MJ\\ \\6^2=ML\cdot 3\\ \\3ML=36\\ \\ML=12\ units

<u>Theorem 2:</u> In a right triangle, the altitude drawn from the right angle to the hypotenuse divides the hypotenuse into two segments. The length of each leg of the right triangle is the geometric mean of the lengths of the hypotenuse and the segment of the hypotenuse that is adjacent to the leg.

Thus,

KJ^2=MJ\cdot ML\\ \\KJ^2=3\cdot (3+12)\\ \\KJ^2=3\cdot 15\\ \\KJ^2=45\\ \\KJ=\sqrt{45}=3\sqrt{5}\ units
