The length of the fencing is 62.4 feet.

The width of the fencing is 17.6 feet.

Given,

The measurement of the Christmas garland = 160 feet

The width of the fencing = w

The length of the fencing, l = 4w - 8

We have to find the length and width of the fencing.

Here,

Perimeter can be taken as 160. Because garland will cover the entire fencing.

Perimeter = 2(l + w)

160 = 2(4w - 8 + w)

160 = 2(5w - 8)

160/2 = 5w - 8

80 + 8 = 5w

88/5 = w

width = 17.6 feet

Now,

l = 4w - 8

l = 4 × 17.6 - 8

l = 70.4 - 8

length = 62.4 feet

That is,

The length of the fencing is 62.4 feet.

The width of the fencing is 17.6 feet.

jeanine Baker makes floral arrangements. She has 13 different cut flowers and plans to use 7 of them. How many different selecti
Ksju [112]

A total of 1,716 selections of the 7 flowers are possible.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

There are 13 flowers from which Jeanine Baker plans to use 7 of them.

To determine the number of selections that are possible we use combinations.

The formula for combinations is; ^{n} C_{r}=\frac{n !}{(n-r) ! r !}.

Step 2:

In the given formula, n is the total number of options and r is the number of options to be selected.

For this question, n = 13 and r=7.

So ^{13} C_{7}=\frac{13 !}{(13-7) ! 7 !} = \frac{13 !}{(6) ! 7 !} = 1,716.

So a total of 1,716 selections are possible.

Lily bought 25.29 pounds of grapefruit. The lightest grapefruit weighed 1.4 pounds. The heaviest grapefruit weighed 1.6 pounds.
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

GIven that the lightest is 1.4 and the heaviest is 1.6, this implies that ALL the fruit must weigh between 1.4 and 1.6.

This also implies that the average weight of the fruit must also be between 1.4 lb and 1.6 lb.

recall that : average weight = total weight / number of fruit

we are given than total weight = 25.29 lb, so

average weight = 25.29 / number of fruit

Just go down the choices and test which choice gives an average weight between 1.4 and 1.6 lbs.

Choice A: number of fruit = 19

average = 25.29 / 19 = 1.33  (outside of range, not the answer)

Choice B: number of fruit = 17

average = 25.29 / 17 =1.49   (within range , possible answer)

Choice C: number of fruit = 10

average = 25.29 / 10 = 2.529 (outside of range, not the answer)

Choice D: number of fruit = 50

average = 25.29 / 50 = 0.5058  (outside of range, not the answer)

From the above, we can see that only B gives an average between 1.4 and 1.6 lb.
