Answer:

75 coloured pencils

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say Jordon has x total pencils.

We know that 20% of these x pencils is 15, so we have:

20% * x = 15

Remember that % is just "out of 100", so 20% = 20/100 = 0.20. Then:

0.20x = 15

x = 15 / 0.20 = 75

Jordon has 75 coloured pencils.

Answer:

75 pencils

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total no. of pencils be T

20% of T = 15

20/100 × T = 15

T = 15 × 100/20

T = 15 × 5

T = 75

Answer: It took 18 Months for Michelle to collect 59 dolls.


Explanation:
First, let’s right an equation for this. Michelle started with 5 dolls in a bar collection (I have no clue what that is but i’ll roll with it), and each month she bought 3 more, so 5 dolls plus the 3 dolls per month equals 59 at some point.

5 dolls + 3 dolls per month = 59 dolls
OR
5 + 3m = 59

The point of this question is to find how many months (m) it took in order to get to 59 dolls and there’s multiple ways you can do this:

1) just plug in random numbers into m to see how long it takes to get to 59 [this option might take a while]

2) Try to isolate m (get every number out of the equation) to find out the value of m. [I’m most familiar with this way]

First, subtract 5 from 5 in the equation in order to get rid of it, since we’re trying to get all whole numbers out of the equation and only have m left. You subtract 5 from 59 since the equal sign is kind of like a mirrror, whatever you do to one side you have to do to the other. So, 5-5 is 0, and 59- is 54.

Now you’re left with 3m=54. In order to isolate the m, divide 3 by 3 to get rid of the 3, then divide 54 by 3, which is 18.

In order to check your work, plug 18 into m just to see if it works or not:

5+3m=59 —-> 5+ 3(18)= 59

3 times 18 is 54, plus 5 is 59. So, Mi hells took 18 months to collect her 59 dolls. Hope this helped!

Determine the volume of the solid that lies between planes perpendicular to the x-axis at x=0 and x=4. The cross sections perpen
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

Volume = 16 unit^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

- Solid lies between planes x = 0 and x = 4.

- The diagonals rum from curves y = sqrt(x)  to  y = -sqrt(x)

Find:

Determine the Volume bounded.

Solution:

- First we will find the projected area of the solid on the x = 0 plane.

                              A(x) = 0.5*(diagonal)^2

- Since the diagonal run from y = sqrt(x) to y = -sqrt(x). We have,

                              A(x) = 0.5*(sqrt(x) + sqrt(x) )^2

                              A(x) = 0.5*(4x) = 2x

- Using the Area we will integrate int the direction of x from 0 to 4 too get the volume of the solid:

                              V = integral(A(x)).dx

                              V = integral(2*x).dx

                               V = x^2

- Evaluate limits 0 < x < 4:

                               V= 16 - 0 = 16 unit^3

The front of a tent is an equilateral triangle with the ratio of its base, b, to its height, h, given by b/h=2/√ 3 . Which equat
Agata [3.3K]
Picturing the tent helps, but we can actually solve this question using simple algebra and no knowledge of triangles. 
The key is this function:
(b/h) = 2/√3  
We want to get h by itself. First, multiply both sides by h:
b = h(2/√3)       Now multiply both sides by the reciprical, (√3/2)
(√3/2) b = h

Therefore, the answer is C) h= b(√3/2)
