Containers are counted in numbers, so she will need containers.

Answers

Answer 1

Hello!

Answer:

[tex]\boxed{ \bf Sheila~will~need~about~7~containers.}[/tex]

__________________________________________________

Explanation:

First, we will need to convert the mixed fractions to improper fractions.

Numerators: (2 · 11) + 1 = 23

                      (4 · 1) + 3 = 7

Denominators: stay the same.

11 [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] ⇒ [tex]\frac{23}{2}[/tex]

1 [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex]  ⇒ [tex]\frac{7}{4}[/tex]

Next, we must divide these two fractions:

[tex]\frac{23}{2}[/tex] ÷ [tex]\frac{7}{4}[/tex]

We must flip the divisor into a reciprocal:

[tex]\frac{23}{2}[/tex] ÷ [tex]\frac{4}{7}[/tex]

Change the division sign to multiplication and multiply:

[tex]\frac{23}{2}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{4}{7}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{92}{14}[/tex]

To find out how many containers will be needed, simply convert this fraction to a decimal by dividing the numerator by the denominator.

92 ÷ 14 = 7 (Rounded)

Answers

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

3/4 = 9/16

Multiply the left side by 4/4 to get a common denominator

3/4*4/4 = 12/16

This is not equal to 9/16 so this is not a proportional relationship

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

3 times 3 is 9, so if this is a proportional relationship between the two fractions than 4 times 3 will be 12.

Since it is a 16 rather than a 12 you know that this cannot be right. Whatever you do to the top you have to do to the bottom, and in this case. That's just not happening.

A timer rings every half hour for 3 1/2 hours.
Use your model to determine the number of rings.

Answers

Answer:

7 times

Step-by-step explanation:

So since it rings every half hour, there should be 2 rings every hour, if not you are not on our planet. (60 mins in an hour, 30 mins = 1, so 60 mins =2)

So since it rings for 3 full hours, we get an initial step of 3 * 2 = 6 rings

Then there is another 1/2 ring because 3 and a 1/2 hours. So 6+1=7

A boy walks 40m from a city X on a bearing of 040° to a city Y. She then walks 40m on a bearing of 140° to a city Z. Find the bearing of Z from city X.
a) 35°
b) 50°
c)90°

Answers

Answer: option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

If city X is in the point (0,0)

Now, we can use that a displacement of L in distance with an angle A, gives us that the components of the displacement are:

X = L*cos(A)

Y = L*sin(A)

So we know that the city Y is located in:

(40m*cos(40°), 40m*sin(40°))

Now, from this point he moves other 40m with an angle of 140°.

The new position is

(40m*cos(40°) + 40m*cos(140°), 40m*sin(40°) + 40m*sin(140°))

this is:

40m*(cos(40°) + cos(140°), sin(40°) + sin(140°)) = 40m*( 0, 1.28)

the new position is (0, 51.2m)

This means that for a new displacement L and angle A we have:

X = L*cos(A) = 0

Y = L*sin(A) = 51.2m

Cos(A) is only 0 when A = 90° or 270°,

and we know that sin(90°) = 1 and sin(270°) = -1

As we have a positive number in the Y equation, we can conclude that A must be 90°.

Then

Y = L*sin(90°) = L = 51.2m

Here we finded that the bearing of Z from city X is 90°

Answers

Answer:

55°

Step-by-step explanation:

All triangles have a sum of 180°

A square pyramid has a base of total area of 144 m square root 2 and a volume of 384m cubic what is the slant height of the pyramid?

Answers

Answer:

Slant height of the pyramid = 11.66 m

Step-by-step explanation:

A squad pyramid has a volume of

V = ⅓ × (area of base) × (vertical height)

Area of the pyramid's square base = 144 m²

Volume = 384 m³

384 = ⅓ × 144 × (vertical height)

Vertical height = (3×384)/(144) = 8 m

But, the slant height of the square based pyramid forms a right angled triangle with the vertical height of the pyramid and the distance from the centre of the base of the pyramid to an edge of the pyramid.

The distance from the centre of the base of the pyramid to an edge of the pyramid = half of the length of the diagonal of the square base of the pyramid.

The diagonal of the square base of the pyramid also forms a right angled triangle with two sides of the square base of the pyramid.

Area of the square base of the pyramid = 144 m²

Area of a square = (side length)²

Side length = √(Area of the square) = √144 = 12 m

Using Pythagoras theorem,

(Length of the diagonal)² = 12² + 12² = 288

Length of the diagonal = (12√2) m

Half of the length of the diagonal of the square base = 6√2 m

Using Pythagoras theorem further

(Slant height of the pyramid)² = (vertical height of the pyramid)² + (Half of the length of the diagonal of the square base)²

(Slant height of the pyramid)² = 8² + (6√2)² = 64 + 72 = 136

Slant height of the pyramid = √136 = 11.66 m

cathy uses 7.9 pints of blue paint and white paint to paint her bedroom walls 3/4 of this amount is blue paint and the rest is white paint how many pints of white paint did she use to paint her bedroom

Answers

Answer:

1.975 pints of white paint

Step-by-step explanation:

Let blue paint represents by 'b' and white paint represents by 'w'.

Then according to the question

b + w = 7.9 pints .......(1)

Amount of blue paint = [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] of the total amount

                                   = [tex]\frac{3}{4}\times 7.9[/tex]

                                   = 5.925 pints

Hence the amount of blue paint is 5.925 pints.

Now putting the value of 'b' in equation (1)

5.925 + w = 7.9

w = 7.9 - 5.925

w = 1.975 pints

Cathy used 1.975 pints of white paint to paint her bedroom.

The perimeter of a rectangle is 32 cm. If the width is 4 cm,find the length.​

Answers

Answer:

it is 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

The length is 12cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter is the sum of all the sides

To work out the length of the rectangle you would first need to multiply the width of 4 by 2, this gives you 8. This is because the perimeter of the rectangle is the sum of all the sides, and as the rectangle has two sets of identical parallel lines.

 The next step is to minus 8 from 32, this gives you 24. This is because we are isolating just the set of lengths.

The next step is to divide the value of 24 by 2, this gives you 12. This is because we had previously worked out what double the length is due to it being a set of parallel lines.

1) Multiply 4 by 2.

[tex]4*2=8cm[/tex]

2) Minus 8 from 32.

[tex]32-8=24cm[/tex]

3) Divide 24 by 2.

[tex]24/2=12cm[/tex]

Checking your answer:

To check your answer you would simply add the values of: 12, 12, 4, 4, and if this gives you 32 then the answer is correct.

1) Add 12 and 12 and 4 and 4.

[tex]12+12+4+4=32cm[/tex]

d) -4 1/2y + 2

Answers

Answer:

B. -3 1/2y + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Our expression is: [tex]\frac{-1}{4} y-2\frac{1}{4} y+\frac{1}{2} (4-2y)[/tex].

Let's first distribute out that parentheses. Remember that distribution is simply taking the sum of the product of the outside term with each of the inside terms. Here, the outside term is 1/2 and the inside terms are 4 and -2y:

[tex]\frac{1}{2} (4-2y)=\frac{1}{2} *4+\frac{1}{2} *(-2y)=2-y[/tex]

Now, we have:

[tex]\frac{-1}{4} y-2\frac{1}{4} y+2-y[/tex]

We want to combine like terms, which means combining all the terms with y in them:

[tex]\frac{-1}{4} y-2\frac{1}{4} y-y+2=\frac{-1}{4} y-\frac{9}{4} y-\frac{4}{4} y+2=\frac{-1-9-4}{4} y+2=\frac{-14}{4} y+2=\frac{-7}{2} y+2[/tex]

Remember that -7/2 can be written as the mixed number -3 1/2, so our final answer is:

-3 1/2y + 2

The answer is thus B.

Sonji has $5.25 in nickels and dimes.The coin value can be modeled by the equation 0.10 d plus 0.05 n equals 5.25, where d represents the number of dimes and n represents the number of nickels. If Sonji has 21 dimes, how many nickels does she have?

Answers

Answer:

To find the number of nickels and dimes, we can use this equation: 0.10d + 0.05n = 5.25

We are given the information that Sonji has 21 dimes (which means that d=21). We can use the equation to find the number of nickels n.

0.10d + 0.05n = 5.25

0.10(21) + 0.05n = 5.25

2.10 + 0.05n = 5.25

0.05n = 3.15

n = 3.15 / 0.05

n = 315 / 5

n = 63

Sonji has 63 nickels.

Let's check our answer.

21(0.10) + 63(0.05) = 2.10 + 3.15 = 5.25

It seems that our answer is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

x + 14 =27

Answers

Answer: x = 13

Step-by-step explanation: When solving an equation like this, we are trying to get our variable which is our letter by itself.

So we first want to ask ourselves what is the 14 doing to x. Well, we can see that it's being added to x so to get x by itself, we will do the opposite of addition which is subtraction. So we subtract 14 from both sides of the equation.

The +14 -14 cancels out so we're left with x on the left.

On the right, we must subtract 14 from 27 to get 13.

So we have x = 13 which is the solution to this equation.
