The lengths of the first, second and third piece are respectively 8 ft, 16 ft and 32 ft

<h3>How to solve Algebra word Problems?</h3>

Let the length of the first piece be x.

Let the length of the second piece be 2x

Let the length of the thrid piece be 4x

Since the total length of the piece is 56 ft, then we can say that;

x + 2x + 4x = 56

7x = 56

x = 56/7

x = 8 ft

Thus, length of first piece = 8 ft

Length of second piece = 2 * 8 = 16 ft

Length of third piece = 4 * 8 = 32 ft

Thus, the lengths of the first, second and third piece are respectively 8 ft, 16 ft and 32 ft

What's 14 ten thousands + 12 thousand
statuscvo [17]
The answer to this question would be 152,000

In this question, you are given multiple number names and asked to add it. To answer this question, it will be easier to split the sentences into multiple parts like this:
<span>1. "14 ten thousands" mean 14 * 10,000 =140,000
</span><span>2. "12 thousands" mean 12 * 1,000= 12,000
Then, if you add them up it will be: 140,000+ 12,000= 152,000</span>

Need help calculating that? Let me help you. Grab a calculator!

So, he makes 14% commision on any stock he sells. This week, he sold $6,400 worth of stocks, and, hes going to make 14% on it. So, take 6400 and divide that by 14%, and what do you get? $896! So, he made $896 that week. Now, say he made that amount EVERY WEEK. so, all you have to do is know how many weeks are in a year (52) and multiply that by 896, which gives you 46592.

A projectile is fired at 571 mi hr. How fast is that in meters per second to the nearest whole value? Use the conversion factor
ELEN [110]

Answer:

Consider this: factors that are the same that are in the numerator and denominator of a fraction cancel out.

e.g. 20/30 = [2(10)]/[3(10)] = 2/3      This is because the 10 present in the numerator exactly equals the 10 present in the denominator.

We can use the above principle for these types of problems!

If the projectile is fired at 422 mi/hr, and we want to convert this speed into m/s, we just need to go through the following process:

422 mi/hr * 1610m/1mi * 1hr/60min * 1min/60s = 189 m/s
