Answer:

12 and 8

Step-by-step explanation:

→ Set up two equations

x - y = 4

$\frac{x+y}{2} =10 \\ \\x + y = 20$

→ Add the 2 equations together

2x = 24

→ Solve for x

x = 12

→ Substitute into original equation

12 - y = 4

→ Solve

y = 8

20 feet of ribbon, cutting ribbon into 7 1/2 inches or 6 3/4 inch lengths to make bracelets. Write an algebraic expression that

IRINA_888 [86]

ANSWER:

The algebraic expression for number of ribbons is $\frac{20 \text { feet }-\left\{\frac{20 \text { feet }}{x}\right\}}{x}$ and the algebraic expression for length of ribbon is $\frac{25 x}{3} \text { feet }$

SOLUTION:

Given, 20 feet of ribbon, cutting ribbon into $7\frac{1}{2}$ inches or $6\frac{3}{4}$ inch lengths to make bracelets.

Let us convert the mixed fraction to improper fractions.

$7 \frac{1}{2}=\frac{7 \times 2+1}{2}=\frac{15}{2} \text { and } 6 \frac{3}{4}=\frac{6 \times 4+3}{4}=\frac{27}{4}$

Let, the length of bracelets can be made be “x”

First we have to remove the excess length of ribbon and then we have to divide the remaining with length of bracelet we want.

$\text { number of ribbons }=\frac{\text { length of ribbon-excess ribbon.}}{\text {length of bracelet}}$

$\left.=\frac{20 \text { feet }-\left\{\frac{20 \text { feep }}{x}\right.}{x} \text { [we know that, }\{x\} \text { is fractional part of } x\right$ ]

So, the algebraic expression for number of ribbons is $\frac{20 \text { feet }-\left\{\frac{20 \text { feet }}{x}\right\}}{x}$

Now, let us find the algebraic expression for feet of ribbon to make 100 ribbons.

We have 100 bracelets of length x, then total length = 100 × x

length of ribbon = 100x inches

$\begin{array}{l}{=100 \mathrm{x} \times \frac{1}{12} \text { feet }} \\\\ {=\frac{25 x}{3} \text { feet }}\end{array}$

So, the algebraic expression for length of ribbon is $\frac{25 x}{3} \text { feet }$

Hence, the algebraic expression for number of ribbons is $\frac{20 \text { feet }-\left\{\frac{20 \text { feet }}{x}\right\}}{x}$ and the algebraic expression for length of ribbon is $\frac{25 x}{3} \text { feet }$

Answer:

5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the smaller circles is proportional to the square of the ratio of their diameters. The two smallest circles have diameters equal to 1/4 the diameter of the largest circle. Hence their areas are (1/4)^2 = 1/16 of that of the largest circle.

Similarly, the medium circle has a diameter half that of the largest circle, so its area is (1/2)^2 = 1/4 of the are of the largest circle.

The smaller circles subtract 2×1/16 +1/4 = 3/8 of the area of the largest circle. Then the shading is 1-3/8 = 5/8 of the area of the largest circle.
