Answer:

Number of weeks in a year = 52 weeks

If in a normal year when each package of flea treatment lasts for 4 weeks, then in a year there Jim's dog will have to be treated for

Where as, when the fleas are bad in a year, the treatment lasts for only 3 weeks.

Then in a year Jim's dog would get

So Jim's dog will get 17- 13 =4 treatments more.

4 treatments that are made in 3 weeks each will be 4×3 =12 weeks more treatment

Ruth has 12 feet of ribbon.
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

See I don't know the answer but I did another one like this if it doesn't help you can report it no problem

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 2 different ways you can solve this problem and you'll get the same answer.

To help you visualize what you have to do, it might be easiest to translate your problem to a unit that easier to use.

Since you only have a ribbon 5 feet long, but you must cut it into 6 pieces, you know it won't even be 1 foot long.

One way to solve the problem would be to translate your 5-foot ribbon into a ribbon divided into inches.

1 foot = 12 inches

To find out how many inches long your ribbon is, you'll need to multiply the number of feet by 12.

Once you know that, then you can more easily divide it by 6. This will tell you how many inches each ribbon is.

Careful! the answer is to be put into feet so once you know how many inches long the ribbon is, you must then divide by 12 to get the correct answer in feet. Don't forget to round to the nearest tenth.

Another way to solve the problem is to simply divide the 5 feet by the number 6 and then round your number to the nearest tenth. It may be harder to visualize the answer this way, but you will get the same answer as if you translated your ribbon into inches and then divided by 12.

Good luck! I hope this helps!

Today, the Great Pyramid at Giza near Cairo, Egypt stands 137 meters tall, coming to a point.Its base is a square with each side

Hope you can see the picture and understand the drawings.

It can seem complex at first but you just have to think it through. 

I use pythagoras' theorem to find the diagonal of the base square and then use that information along with the height with the aid of that ever so handy pythagoras' theorem to find the length of the slope.

How many ounces of pure nickel must be added to 150 ounces of alloy 70% pure to make an alloy which is 85% pure?
galben [10]

Answer:

150 oz.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are already 150 ounces of alloy of nickel.

Of this 150 oz, 70% is pure i.e. nickel content = 150(0.7) = 105 oz

Now available is

Nickel       Other metals

105                  45

Let x oz of pure nickel is added.

Then new alloy will have 105+x oz nickel in total of 150+x oz.

Percentage pure = \frac{105+x}{150+x} =85%

Simplify to get

\frac{105+x}{150+x} =\frac{85}{100} \\\\Cross multiply:\\85(150+x) =100(105+x)\\12750+85x =10500+100x\\100x-85x = 12750-10500\\15x = 2250\\x = 150

Hence answer is 150 oz should be added.

The square of a number decreased by 3 times the number 28 find all possible values for the number
stealth61 [152]

Question:

The square of a number decreased by 3 times the number is 28 find all possible values for the number  

Answer:

The possible values of number are 7 and -4

Solution:

Given that the square of a number decreased by 3 times the number is 28

To find: all possible values of number

Let "a" be the unknown number

From given information,

square of a number decreased by 3 times the number = 28

a^2 - 3a = 28

a^2 - 3a - 28 = 0

Let us solve the above quadratic equation

\text {For a quadratic equation } a x^{2}+b x+c=0, \text { where } a \neq 0

x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4 a c}}{2 a}

Using the above formula,

\text { For } a^{2}-3 a-28=0 \text { we have } a=1, b=-3, c=-28

\begin{aligned}&a=\frac{-(-3) \pm \sqrt{(-3)^{2}-4(1)(-28)}}{2 \times 1}\\\\&a=\frac{3 \pm \sqrt{9+112}}{2}\\\\&a=\frac{3 \pm \sqrt{121}}{2}=\frac{3 \pm 11}{2}\\\\&a=\frac{3+11}{2} \text { or } a=\frac{3-11}{2}\\\\&a=7 \text { or } a=-4\end{aligned}

Thus the possible values of number are 7 and -4
