Answer:

Maximum height of quarter tower = 9.6 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The thickness of a quarter = \frac{1}{5} inches

Weight of a quarter = 1 ounce

The maximum weight that could safely hold = 3 pounds.

<u>The conversion factor for ounce to pound is 1 ounce = 0.0625 pound</u>

The number of quarter used in the tower = no of ounces equivalent to 3 pounds.

No of ounces equivalent to 3 pounds = \frac{3}{0.0625}

No of ounces equivalent to 3 pounds = 48

So the height of quarter tower = 48 \times \frac{1}{5} inches

                                                   = 9.6 inches.

U= uniforms


598+ 24.25u= 1762

24.25u= 1762- 598

24.25u= 1164

U= 1164/24.25

U= 48

The school purchased 48 uniforms.

Here, You have to simplify every number to their simple form and place it on the arrow by approximation:

So, Here is your answers:

Upper Arrows (From Left towards right):
1st = -10√2/3
2nd = -√7
3rd = ∛4
4th = √50

Lower Arrows (From Left towards right):
1st = -√99
2nd = -√17
3rd = ∛9
4th = π

Students were surveyed about their favorite colors 1/4 preferred red, 1/8 preferred blue, 3/5 preferred green. If 15 students pr
const2013 [10]

Answer:

Let us assume the total number of students surveyed = x

Then

Number of students preferring red = x/4

Number of students preferring blue = x/8

Then

Number of students remaining = x - [(x/4) + (x/8)]

                                                  =x - [(2x + x)/8)

                                                  = x - (3x/8)

                                                  = (8x - 3x)/8

                                                  = 5x/8

Number of students preferring the color green = (3/5) * (5x/8)

                                                                          = 3x/8

We also know that the total number of students preferring the color green is 15

So

3x/8 = 15

3x = 15 * 8

x = (15 * 8)/3

  = 5 * 8

  = 40

So in total 40 students were surveyed. I hope the procedure is clear to you.

Her is the definition of an imaginary number An imaginary number is a complex number that can be written as a real number multiplied by the imaginary unit i, which is defined by its property i2 = −1. The square of an imaginary number bi is −b2. For example, 5i is an imaginary number, and its square is −25. Zero is considered to be both real and imaginary.
