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

makayla has $8 to buy at a school fair each ticket cost $1.50 which inequality best represents how many tickets she can buy

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If she only has $8, she can't spend more than that. In other words, she can spend ≤$8.

If each ticket is $1.50 per ticket, the inequality that represents how many tickets she can buy if x represents the number of tickets, is

1.5x ≤ 8

ella [17]

Answer:

0.216

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a certain new type of business succeeds 60% of the time.

3 such businesses are tested for success.

Since these three businesses open (where they do not compete with each other, so it is reasonable to believe that their relative successes would be independent). we can say X no of successful businesses is Binomial

with p = 0.6 and n =3

Required probability

=The probability that all 3 businesses succeed is:

= $P(X=3)\\= 0.6^3\\= 0.216$

13+x+195=13(x+15)...

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

First, let's expand the right side. Now our equation is

$13+x+195=13x+195$

Now, we gather all the terms with x in it on the left side, and the numbers without x on the right. We get:

$-12x=-13$

And then we can make this

$12x=13$

We divide both sides by 12 to get x on its own, so x = 13/12 or 1.08

a woman 1.65. tall stood 50m away from the foot of a tower,and observe that the angle of elevation of the top of the tower to be

ElenaW [278]

$\sf\huge\underline{\star Solution:-}$

$\rightarrow$ Let the women's height be AE and distance between the women and tower be AC.

Also let the height of tower be BC.

$\rightarrow$ Now, clearly it is forming a triangle.

So, in triangle ABC,

$\rightarrow$ $\sf{Tan50° \:= \: \frac{BC}{AC}}$

$\rightarrow$ $\sf{1.19 \:= \: \frac{BC}{50}}$

$\rightarrow$ $\sf{1.19 ×50\:= \: BC}$

$\rightarrow$ $\sf{59.5m\:= \: BC}$

$\rightarrow$ Hence, BC = 59.5m

So, BD(total height of the tower) $\sf{ = \:BC+CD}$

$\sf{= \:59.5+1.65}$

$\sf{=\: 61.15m}$

Therefore, total height of the tower = $\sf\purple{ 61.15m.}$
