A ​108-inch is cut into two pieces. One piece is three times the length of the other. Find the length of the shorter piece.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: Short piece is 27 inches

Long piece is 81 inches

====================================================

Explanation:

x = length of short piece

3x = length of the longer piece (3 times longer)

x+3x = 4x = total length

total length = 108

So 4x = 108 is the equation which solves to x = 27 after dividing both sides by 4.

The short piece is x = 27 inches and the long piece is 3*x = 3*27 = 81 inches. Adding the two pieces gives 27+81 = 108 which helps confirm the answer.

Consider an election with 681 votes a) If there are 5 candidates, what is the smallest number of first-place votes a candidate could win with under the Plurality method?

Answers

Answer:

137 votes

Step-by-step explanation:

considering an election with 681 votes and 5 candidates up for the election

dividing the votes among'st 5 candidates

= 681 / 5 = 136.2  hence the least number of first-place votes needed by a candidate using the plurality method  would be = 137 votes

136.2 + 136.2 + 136.2 + 136.2 + 136.2 = 681 ( dividing the votes equally )

136 + 136 + 136 + 136+136 = 680

hence the remaining vote = 681 - 680 = 1

least first-place vote = 136 + 1 = 137 votes

Answer:

The answer is

[tex] \frac{ {x}^{2} + 2x}{2x - 4 } [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex] \frac{7xy}{ {x}^{2} - 4x + 4 } \div \frac{14y}{x^{2} - 4} [/tex]

To simplify , factorize

x² - 4x + 4 and x² - 4

For x² - 4x + 4

Write - 4x as a difference

x² - 2x - 2x + 4

x( x - 2) - 2(x - 2)

(x - 2)(x - 2)

For x² - 4

use the formula

a² - b² = ( a+b)( a - b)

That's

x² - 4 = (x + 2)(x - 2)

So now we have

[tex] \frac{7xy}{(x - 2)(x - 2)} \div \frac{14y}{(x + 2)(x - 2)} [/tex]

Change the division sign to multiplication sign and reverse the second fraction

That's

[tex] \frac{7xy}{(x - 2)(x - 2)} \times \frac{(x + 2)(x - 2)}{14y} [/tex]

Simplify

We have

[tex] \frac{x}{(x - 2)(x - 2)} \times \frac{(x + 2)(x - 2)}{2} [/tex]

Reduce the expression with x + 2

That's

[tex] \frac{x}{x - 2} \times \frac{x + 2}{2} [/tex]

Multiply the fractions

[tex] \frac{x(x + 2)}{2(x - 2)} [/tex]

We have the final answer as

2) The x-intercept are (5, 0) and (-1, 0)

The y-intercept is (0, -5)

The vertex is (2, -9)

f(x) = x² - 4·x - 5

The data values are generated as follows;

The minimum is found from differentiating the function, f(x), with respect to x and looking for the zeros of the result  as follows;

f'(x) = 2·x -4

f'(x) = 0 = 2·x -4

x = 2

The y-coordinate gives; f(2) = 2² - 4×2 - 5 = -9

Therefore, the symmetry line is a vertical line passing through (2, -9)

The x-intercept is the point at which y = 0, therefore, from f(x) = x² - 4·x - 5, we have;

0 = x² - 4·x - 5 = (x - 5)·(x + 1)  

Therefore, the x-intercept are x = 5 or -1

The x-intercept are (5, 0) and (-1, 0)

The y-intercept occur at the point where the x value = 0, therefore, we have;

The y-intercept occur at y = f(0) = 0² - 4·0 - 5 = -5

The y-intercept is (0, -5)

Re-writing the  equation in vertex form y = a(x - h)² + k gives;

f(x) = x² - 4·x - 5 = 1·(x - 2)² - 9

Therefore, the vertex is (2, -9)

Answer:

Jeanette purchased a concert ticket on a web site. The original price of the ticket was $75.

She used a coupon code to receive a 20% discount. The website applied a 10% service fee

to the discounted price. Jeannette's ticket was less than the original price by what percent?

Answers

Answer:

Jeannette's ticket was less than the original pice by 30%

Step-by-step explanation:

original price = $75

percentage discount = 20% of original price = 20% of $75

discounted price = [tex]\frac{20}{100} \times\ 75\ =\ 15[/tex]

discounted price = $15

website service fee = 10% of original price

website service fee = [tex]\frac{10}{100}\times 75 = \$7.5[/tex]

New discounted price = discount price + website service fee

= 15 + 7.5 = $22.5

Next, let us calculate what percentage of the original price that will give the new discount price.

Let the percentage of the original price = x%

x% of 75 = $22.5

[tex]\frac{x}{100} \times\ 75\ = 22.5\\\\\frac{75x}{100} = 22.5\\\\75x = 2250\\\\x = \frac{2250}{75} \\\\x = 30[/tex]

Therefore, Jeannette's ticket was less than the original pice by 30%

April typed a 5 page report in 50 mintues. Each page had 500 words at what rate is April typing

Answers

Answer:

Amy types at a rate of 50 words per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are interested in calculating the rate at which April is typing.

From the question, we can deduce that she typed a 5 page report, with each page having a total of 500 words.

Now, if each page has 500 words, the total number of words in all of the pages will be 5 * 500 = 2,500 words

Now, from here, we can see that 2,500 words were typed in 50 minutes.

The number of words per minute will be ;

Total number of words/Time taken = 2500 words/50 minutes

That will give a value of 50 words per minute

Ben wants to get a 94 in math class. His grade will be the average of two test scores. He scored an 89 on the first test. What grade does Ben need to get on his second test to meet his goal?

Answers

Answer:

Ben needs to get a 99% on his second test

Step-by-step explanation:

The average is the sum of both test scores, divided by the total number of test scores (2).

Let x by the grade Ben must receive on his second test.

(89 + x)/2 = 94

Multiply by 2 on both sides

89 + x = 188

Subtract 89 on both sides

x = 99

Check work:

(89 + 99)/2 = 188/2 = 99

Answer: 99

Concept:

Here, we need to know the idea of the average value.

In mathematics, average refers to the sum of a group of values divided by n, where n is the number of values in the group.

Average = Sum of value / number of values

Solve:

Given information

Scoring on first test = 89

Scoring on second test = x

Number of tests = 2

Average = 94

Given expression

Average = Sum of value / number of values

Substitute values into the expression

94 = (89 + x) / 2

Multiply 2 on both sides

94 × 2 = (89 + x) / 2 × 2

188 = 89 + x

Subtract 89 on both sides

188 - 89 = 89 + x - 89

A) 3-25866-53590-5
B) 3-25866-53590-0
C) 1-25866-53590-0
D) 5-35900-32586-6​

Answers

The manufacturer ID number for Bayer Healthcare is (325866) and the item number for a bottle of Aleve Liquid Gels is (53590). then valid UPC would be option B) 3-25866-53590-0 by checking the check digit.

It is known that a UPC is made up of 6 to 9 digits from the left that is the manufacturer id number and 5 digits from the right before the last digit is the product id number.

the last digit is used to check the integrity of the UPC and is known as a check digit.A specific algorithm based on the odd and even number of the previous 11 digits determines the last number, which is used to confirm the validity or integrity of the UPC.

A UPC can be validated with a manual calculation:

Given :

UPC = 3-25866-53590-5/0

=> Step 1: Add the digits at odd positions.

3 + 5 + 6 +5 + 5 + 0 = 24

=> Step 2: Multiply the number obtained in steps 1 by 3.

24*3 = 72

=> Step 3: The digits at even positions have to be added except check digit

2 + 8 + 6 +3 +9 = 28

=> Step 4: Add the numbers obtained in Step 2 and step 3.

72+ 28 = 100

=> Step 5: The number obtained in step 4 is subtracted from the next multiple of 10.

Here 100 will be subtracted from 110.

110 - 100 = 10

the last digit will be 0,

Thus, the correct option is B. 3-25866-53590-0.
