Samantha has a shelf that is 95 over 4 inches wide. How many books can Samantha arrange on the shelf if each book is 5 over 4 in

ches thick? 29, because the number of books is 95 over 4 multiplied by 5 over 4 28, because the number of books is 95 over 4 divided by 4 over 5 19, because the number of books is 95 over 4 divided by 5 over 4 17, because the number of books is 95 over 4 multiplied by 4 over 5

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The answer is:

  • 19, because the number of books is 95 over 4 divided by 5 over 4
<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

Samantha has a shelf that is 95 over 4 inches wide.

i.e. thickness of shelf=95/4 inches

Also, each book is 5 over 4 inches thick

This means that the thickness of one book is: 5/4 inches

Now,let n be the total number of books that could be arranged in the shelf.

This means that:

\text{Number\ of\ books\ arranged}=\dfrac{\text{Thickness\ of\ shelf}}{\text{Thickness\ of\ one\ book}}

i.e.

n=\dfrac{\dfrac{95}{4}}{\dfrac{5}{4}}\\\\i.e.\\\\n=\dfrac{95\times 4}{5\times 4}\\\\i.e.\\\\n=\dfrac{95}{5}\\\\i.e.\\n=19

Namely, how many times does 5/4 go into 95/4?   well, let's just divide,

\bf \cfrac{\quad \frac{95}{4}\quad }{\frac{5}{4}}\implies \cfrac{95}{\underline{4}}\cdot \cfrac{\underline{4}}{5}\implies \cfrac{95}{5}\implies 19

Suppose that there are 15 antennas in a store, of which 3 are defective. Assume all the defectives and all the functional antenn
ohaa [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of antenna is 15

Defective antenna is 3

The functional antenna is 15-3=12.

Now, if no two defectives are to be consecutive, then the spaces between the functional antennas must each contain at most one defective antenna.

So,

We line up the 13 good ones, and see where the bad one will fits in

__G __ G __ G __ G __ G __G __ G __ G __ G __ G __ G __ G __G __

Each of the places where there's a line is an available spot for one (and no more than one!) bad antenna.

Then,

There are 14 spot available for the defective and there are 3 defective, so the arrange will be combinational arrangement

ⁿCr= n!/(n-r)!r!

The number of arrangement is

14C3=14!/(14-3)!3!

14C3=14×13×12×11!/11!×3×2

14C3=14×13×12/6

14C3=364ways

Need help with this math

A hole occurs when both numerator and denominator of  a rational function have the same factor.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

While graphing rational function, it has to be converted into the lowest terms by factoring the numerator and denominator. If the numerator and denominator has the same factor, a hole is said to have occurred and to solve the rational function, you have to set the common factor to zero.

After you set it to zero and solve, you obtain the x value which can be then used to find out the value of y.

A rectangle has a width of 3 units and a length of 4 units. Nancy needs to increase both the length and the width of the rectang
yarga [219]

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of a rectangle, l = 3 units

The breadth of a rectangle, b = 4 units

Nancy needs to increase both the length and the width of the rectangle by 2 units.

The area of a rectangle is given by

A = length(l) × breadth(b)

Here,

A = 3 × 4

= 12 unit²

If both length and width of the rectangle increase by 2 units,

New length = (4+2) = 6 units

New width = (3+2) = 5 units

New area = 6 × 5 = 30 unit²

Hence, new area becomes 30 unit².
