If there is a 24 foot board cut into 2 pieces and one piece is 4 times longer than the other what are the lengths of each piece

1 answer:

3 0

First set up an equation as your approach. I will use the equation x+4x=24 because that way you are saying that something pluse itself times 4 equals 24 which is what you want.

simplify the equation

5x=24

x=24/5

So you know onw piece will be 24/5 of a foot and the ither qould be that times 4 so 96/24 of a foot. In decimals it would be 4.8 and 19.2

A grocery store sells avocados for $1.25 each. The graph shows the cost for different numbers of avocados.

Aleksandr [31]

I don’t know if this is right or not so, sorry if it’s wrong ;-;

1,2,3,4,5 = independent

c=1.25a = neither

$1.25, $2.50, $3.75, $5.00, $6.25 = dependent

Number of avocados = independent

Cost of avocados = dependent

If this is right then I’ll put the explanation in the comments, again sorry if it isn’t.

A comet is about 7.63 × 103 miles from Earth. Write this number in standard form.

Simora [160]

Answer:

7630

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that the distance of a comet from Earth is about 7.63*10³ .

This number is given in scientific notation.

We want to write this number in standard form.

Since we are multiplying by a power of 10, we move forward three times.

Therefore in standard form:

$7.63 \times {10}^{3} = 7630$
