First, let's convert the mixed number 1 1/2 to the improper fraction 3/2. We're given that it takes 3/2 days to install 3/5 of a fence. We're looking for how long it takes to install one whole fence - or 5/5 of a fence. To determine that, let's first find out how long it takes to install 1/5 of a fence, and then multiply that quantity by 5 to obtain our answer.

If it takes 3/2 days (3 half-days) to install 3/5 of a fence (3 fifths of a fence), then it makes sense that it would take 1/2 day (1 half-day) to install 1/5 of a fence (1 fifth of a fence).

If it takes 1/2 day to install 1/5 of a fence, then it should take 5 times that amount of time to install all 5/5 of it, or 5 * (1/2) = 5/2 days, or 2 1/2 days as a mixed number.

In the equation $y=a(b)^x$ , a is the initial amount and b is the growth factor. So our initial amount is 30 and our growth factor is 8.3. Your correct choice for this is A.

What is the length of side c, given a = 10, b = 8, and c = 105°?

posledela

We can calculate using cosinus method in triangle
c² = a² + b² - 2ab cos c

Plug in the number to the formula
c² = a² + b² - 2ab cos c
c² = 10² + 8² - 2(10)(8) cos 105°
c² = 100 + 64 - 160 cos 105°
c² = 164 - 160 (-0.26)
c² = 164 + 41.6
c² = 205.6
c = √205.6
c =14.34

C is 14.34 unit length

8.42 Three bags of jelly beans contain 26,28 , and 30 beans. In each bag, the percent of the beans that are yellow is 50%, 25%,

olasank [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Figure out the number of yellow beans in each bag:

Bag A: 0.5*26 = 13 beans

Bag B: 0.25*28 = 7 beans

Bag C: 0.2*30 = 6 beans

The total number of beans in the bowl: 26+28+30 = 84

Total number of yellow beans: 13+7+6 = 26

Percentage of yellow beans: 26/84 *100 = 30.9523

Rounded answer: 31%

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{x=7\dfrac{23}{25}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$x\div3\dfrac{3}{10}=2\dfrac{2}{5}\\\\\text{convert the mixed number to the impropper fraction}\\\\3\dfrac{3}{10}=\dfrac{3\cdot10+3}{10}=\dfrac{33}{10}\\\\2\dfrac{2}{5}=\dfrac{2\cdot5+2}{5}=\dfrac{12}{5}\\\\x\div\dfrac{33}{10}=\dfrac{12}{5}\\\\x\times\dfrac{10}{33}=\dfrac{12}{5}\qquad\text{multiply both sides by}\ \dfrac{33}{10}\\\\x\times\dfrac{10\!\!\!\!\!\diagup}{33\!\!\!\!\!\diagup}\times\dfrac{33\!\!\!\!\!\diagup}{10\!\!\!\!\!\diagup}=\dfrac{12}{5}\times\dfrac{33}{10}\\\\x=\dfrac{396}{50}$

$x=\dfrac{198}{25}\\\\x=\dfrac{175+23}{25}\\\\x=\dfrac{175}{25}+\dfrac{23}{25}\\\\x=7\dfrac{23}{25}$
