Answer:

210.6 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a piece of ribbon is cut into two shorter pieces in the ratio 2.8:1.25.

So that means length of the first smaller piece = 2.8x

and length of the second smaller piece = 1.25x

Then difference between their lengths = 2.8x-1.25x = 1.55x

Given that difference is equal to 80.6 centimeters then we get

1.55x=80.6

or x= 80.6/1.55

or x=52

then length of the original piece = 2.8x+1.25x

= 2.8*52+1.25*52

= 145.6+65

= 210.6 cm

All of the following expressions are equal to N except _____. |−N| −(−N) |N| −N
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

D. -N

Step-by-step explanation:

Our four given expressions are:

A. |-N|

B. -(-N)

C. |N|

D. -N

The | | symbols represent absolute value, which is the distance from the value within the two lines and 0; essentially since it measures distance, absolute value always outputs a positive value.

In choice A, we have |-N|, which means the distance between -N and 0. Well, the distance will simply be N, which is equal to N. Eliminate A.

In choice B, we have -(-N). Double negatives signal that they will cancel out to become positive, so -(-N) = N. Eliminate B.

In choice C, we have |N|, which means the distance between N and 0. This is clearly just N, so eliminate C.

In choice D, we have -N, which denotes "negative N". Clearly, "negative N" (-N) is not the same as "positive N" (N), so D is the answer.

Many us employess received a 3% raise in 2012 suppose an employee made 47,000 in 2011 and received a 3% raise. What did she make
WITCHER [35]
First lets get 3% into decimal form. 

3% is 3/100  = 0.03

Now multiply 0.03 by 47000 to get how much extra money she was going to get. 

47000 * 0.03 = 1410

Now we just add
47000 + 1410 = 48410 is what she was going to make in 2012

Another way to do this is 

(47000)(1+0.03) = 48410

you would use (1+0.03) which tells you she increased in pay.

A rectangle’s width is 2 meters shorter than its length, l. Its area is 168 square meters. Which equation can be used to find th
Dmitry [639]
The area (A) of the triangle is the product of its length (l) and width (w). A = l x w. Since the width is 2 m shorter than the length, it may be expressed as w = l -2. The equation for area becomes,
                          A = l x (l - 2)
Substituting the known area and rearranging the equation gives,
                           l(l - 2) = 168.
