Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

7/3 and 14/3 inches

Discussion:

Let P1 = "Piece 1" and "P2 = Piece 2", Then P2 = 2 * P1 and

P1 + P2 = 7       => as P2 = 2 P1

P1 + 2P1 = 7      =>

3P1 = 7             => divide both sides by 7

P1 = 7/3


Then P2 = 2 P1 - 2* (7/3) = 14/3

Thank you,

MrB

Explain why the absolute value of a number will never be negative
aleksandr82 [10.1K]
The absolute value of a number will never be negative because absolute value is the distance from zero, so it will always be positive. For example, you can't be -6 away from 0, you are 6 away from 0.

A tennis player has won 24 out of 36 matches. His sponsor says that he must win 70% of his total number of matches to qualify fo
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

He must win 11 more matches to qualify for the bonus.

Step-by-step explanation:

24/36 * 100 = 67% (to the nearest %) - This is the current percentage of what the Tennis player has won.

If we add 14 more matches on to the 36 the player has already played, we know that the Tennis player plays 50 matches in total.

Let's say the Tennis player was playing 100 matches, they would need to win 70 or more to qualify for the bonus. Because the player is playing half this amount of matches, we half the amount of games they have to win...

35/50 games or more must be won to qualify for the bonus. The Tennis player has already won 24 matches, so must win 11 more matches to qualify for the bonus.

Hope that helps!
