13 x 112 = 1456 ft

112 ft x 8 = 896

Only needs 8 pieces

On the 7th grade field trip to Washington D.C for every 8 students there were 3 chaperones. 12 chaperones were needed. How many

irinina [24]

32 students would be on the trip. What I did to solve it was a proportion. 8students/ 3 chaperones= x students/12 chaperones.
8*12= 96 and 96/3=32. Therefore 32 students were on the trip.

The soccer field measures 80 meters by 120 meters. Which is the correct unit of measurement to figure out how much fertilizer is

Trava [24]

It’s meters squared. Since you need to find the area in order to find the amount of fertilizer, the area is expressed as the unit squared.

Use the number line to show and explain why 4/10 ÷ 2 and 4/10 × 1/2 both equal 2/10

Vesna [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

When you divide by a number, you basically are multiplying by the reciprocal

The reciprocal of 2 is 1/2

4/10 ÷ 2 = 4/10 × 1/2 = 2/10

4/10 × 1/2 = 2/10

Using a number line,

Start at 4/10 and move down by 2 until you reach 0

Start at 4/10 and move up by 1/2 from 0 until you reach 4/10

(Count the number of humps)

Both will be the same

Let us have four distinct collinear points $a,$ $b,$ $c,$ and $d$ on the cartesian plane. the point $c$ is such that $\dfrac{ab}

Deffense [45]

Start with a line segment connecting two points, A and B. $\dfrac{DA}{BA}=3$ means DA is 3 times longer than BA. Clearly, D cannot fall between A and B because that would mean DA is shorter than BA. So there are two possible locations where D can be placed on the line relative to A and B.

But with $\dfrac{DB}{BA}=2$ , or the fact that DB is 2 times longer than BA, we can rule out one of these positions; referring to the attachment, if we place D to the left of A, then DB would be 4 times longer than BA.

Finally, $\dfrac{AB}{CB}=\dfrac12$ , so that CB is 2 times longer than AB. Again we have two possible locations for point C (it cannot fall between A and B), but one of them forces C to occupy the same point as D. However, A, B, C, D are distinct, so C must fall to the left of A.

Now let $d$ be the length of AB. Then the length of CD in terms of $d$ is $4d$ . We have the coordinates of C and D, and the distance between them is $\sqrt{(4-0)^2+(0-4)^2}=4\sqrt2$ . So

$4d=4\sqrt2\implies d=\sqrt2$

The slope of the line through C and D is

$\dfrac{0-4}{4-0}=-1$

and so the equation of the line through these points is

$y-4=-(x-0)\implies x+y=4$

So the coordinates of A are $(x,y)=(x,4-x)$ . The distance between C and A is $d=\sqrt2$ , so we have

$\sqrt{(x-0)^2+(4-x-4)^2}=\sqrt{2x^2}=|x|\sqrt2=\sqrt2\implies|x|=1$

Since A falls to the right of C (in the $x,y$ plane, not just in the sketch), we know to take the positive value $x=1$ . Then the $y$ coordinate is $y=4-1=3$ .

All this to say that A is the point (1, 3), so

$2x+y=2+3=5$

Which number line represents the solution set for inequality?

AlekseyPX

Answer:

Third graph down

Step-by-step explanation:

2x -6 ≥ 6(x-2)+8

Distribute

2x - 6≥6x -12+8

Combine like terms

2x - 6≥6x -4

Subtract 2x from each side

2x-6-2x ≥6x-2x-4

-6 ≥4x-12

Add 4 to each side

-6+4 ≥4x-4+4

-2 ≥4x

Divide by 4

-2/4 ≥4x/4

-1/2≥x

Closed circle at -1/2

Line going the the left
