Answer:

And the answer may be 3/8 and 11/8 (among an infinite amount of different rational numbers less than 188 of the actual side length), as shwon below.

Explanation:

1) Calculate the side length of the bulletin board in the shape of a square:

The area of a square is equal to the square of length of the sides

A = x²

Substitute A = 150 unit²

150 = x²

Extract square root of both sides:

2) Find two rational numbers that are within, this is they are less than, 1/8 of the actual side length:    

Since, 12² = 144 and 13² = 169, the square root of 150 is between 12 and 13.

Then, you can pick any two whole numbers less than 13 and multiple them by 1/8.

Remember that multiplying by 1/8 is the same that dividing by 8.

Choose 12 and 11, for instance, and two rational numbers that are less than 1/8 of the actual side length are 12/8 and 11/8.

12/8 can be simplified to 3/2 and 11/8 is in its simplest form.

Thus, two rational numbers that are within 1/8 of the actual side length of the bulletin board are 3/2 and 11/8.

Step-by-step explanation:

hope this helps if does mark brainllest pls! :)

Area:-150sq units

  • Side be a

Now

  • a²=150
  • a=√150
  • a=√2×3×5×5
  • a=5√6

Now

  • Scale factor=1/8

So

new side length:-

  • 1/8(5√6)
  • 5/8√6

Answer:

B. H(x)=-.008(x-82)^{2}+83

Step-by-step explanation:

Well lets graph the following equation first,

H(x) = -.011(x - 82)^2 + 75

Then lets graph all the other equations.

Look at the image below↓

So A.

The purple line does not go farther or higher,

so A. is incorrect

B.

The black line goes higher and farther,

meaning it is correct.

C.

The red line goes farther but not higher.

So it is incorrect

D.

Again the blue line does not go farther of higher.

So its wrong.

<em>Thus,</em>

<em>answer choice B. </em>H(x)=-.008(x-82)^{2}+83 <em>is correct.</em>

<em />

<em>Hope this helps :)</em>

Robin donated bags of grain that each weighed 403 pounds to the local food shelf. If the total weight of the grain was 160 pound
Alexxx [7]
Well.. 160 x 3 = 480. So he would've had to give only 2 bags. But he would've given a fraction of a bag, but if you're only talking whole numbers, then the answer is 2. If you're talking fractions, then the answer is 2.51875.
