Answer:

28 units

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we are going to solve the equation  to find the value ^^

Let's solve the equation step by step

Step 1. Use the distributive property to destroy the parenthesis

Step 2. Subtract 196 to both sides of the equation

Step 3. Factor the expression

Step 4. Set each factor equal to zero and solve

Since we are dealing with lengths here, and lengths cannot be negative, the only valid solution is 28.

Now, we know from our problem that the missing side of the rectangle is given by the expression , so to find the actual length, we just need to replace  with 8 in the given expression and simplify!

We can conclude that the missing side length represented by x + 8 units of the rectangle is 28 units.

Nora had already read 30% of the book before her teacher assigned it to the class. She is choosing between two options to finish
guapka [62]

Answer:

Let p represent the # of pages in the book.  Then, Nora has already read 0.30p pages and has 0.70p pages left to read.

If she reads 25% pages/night, that means reading 0.25(0.70)p pages per night, or 17.5 pages/night.  If 28% p/n, that means 0.28(0.70)p pages/night, or 19.6p pages/night.

How many nights will it take Nora to finish the book if she reads 25% of 7/10 of the book per night?  Without any calculations, we can answer this by "4 nights, since she reads 1/4 of the unread portion of the book per night."

If she reads 28% of 7/10 of the book per night, that will require fewer nights:

First night:  28%

Second night:  28%  

Third night:  28%

 Total:  3(28%) = 84%

This leaves 16% to read on the final night.

This is one interpretation of what I think is a poorly worded question.

The author of this question might have meant reading 25% of the remaining unread pages per night, which leads to a different answer.

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

13÷ 23

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the odds of player winning is shown below;

For $5 it is 40%

And, for $100 it is 25%

so for total it is

= 40% + 25%

= 65%

And, the total percentage is 100%

So, the odds in favor is

65:100

13:20

Now for winning it would be 13÷ 23
