So if Lisa's reading list is 20% fiction, that's 20/100. So how can you simplify 20/100 so that the top number (the numerator) is 5? 
If you divide both numbers by 4 (the same as dividing the fraction by 4), then you get 5/25. That means 5 out of 25 books are fiction. Her reading list is 25 books long.

PLEASE HELP WILL GIVE THANKS AND FIVE STARS IF RIGHT ANSWER
Vika [28.1K]

(x+4)^2 / 9 - (y+3)^2 / 16 = 1


a^2 = 16 and b^2 = 9

a = +4 and -4

b = +3 and -3


Center is (-4, -3)

Vertices is (-4 + a, -3) and (-4 - a, -3)

Vertices is (-1, -3) and (-7, -3)

Explain how the distance formula can prove Pythagoras' Theorem. In your
Paul [167]

Answer:

Given a triangle ABC, Pythagoras' Theorem shows that:

c^2=a^2+b^2

Thus,

c = \sqrt{a^2+b^2}

The distance formula, gives an equivalent expression based on two points at the end of the hypotenuse for a triangle.

d^2 = (x_{2} -x_{1})^2 + (y_{2} -y_{1})^2

d = \sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2 +  (y_{2} -y_{1})^2 }

Therefore when given the hypotenuse with endpoints at

(x_{1}, y_{1})  and {(x_{2}, y_{2})

We know that the third point of the right triangle will be at

(x_{2}, y_{1})

and that the two side lengths will be defined by the absolute values of:

(x_{2} - x_{1}) = a

(y_{2} - y_{1}) = b

A plant produces 500 units/hour of an item with dimensions of 4” x 6” x 2”. The manager wants to store two weeks of supply in co
mart [117]

Answer:

  564 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

To account for the extra space between units, we can add 2" to every unit dimension and every box dimension to figure the number of units per box.

Doing that, we find the storage box dimensions (for calculating contents) to be ...

  3 ft 2 in × 4 ft 2 in × 2 ft 2 in = 38 in × 50 in × 26 in

and the unit dimensions to be ...

  (4+2)" = 6" × (6+2)" = 8" × (2+2)" = 4"

A spreadsheet can help with the arithmetic to figure how many units will fit in the box in the different ways they can be arranged. (See attached)

When we say the "packing" is "462", we mean the 4" (first) dimension of the unit is aligned with the 3' (first) dimension of the storage box; the 6" (second) dimension of the unit is aligned with the 4' (second) dimension of the storage box; and the 2" (third) dimension of the unit is aligned with the 2' (third) dimension of the storage box. The "packing" numbers identify the unit dimensions, and their order identifies the corresponding dimension of the storage box.

We can see that three of the four allowed packings result in 216 units being stored in a storage box.

If storage boxes are stacked 4 deep in a 9' space, the 2' dimension must be the vertical dimension, and the floor area of each stack of 4 boxes is 3' × 4' = 12 ft². There are 216×4 = 864 units stored in each 12 ft² area.

If we assume that 2 weeks of production are 80 hours of production, then we need to store 80×500 = 40,000 units. At 864 units per 12 ft² of floor space, we need ceiling(40,000/864) = 47 spaces on the floor for storage boxes. That is ...

  47 × 12 ft² = 564 ft²

of warehouse floor space required for storage.

_____

The second attachment shows the top view and side view of units packed in a storage box.
