Answer: 16 small squares

why?
since this is a square mosaic, all four sides have equal numbers of glass squares
if you think about one glass square as one unit, the scenario can be considered through the equation 256=x^{2} -- where x is the number of glass squares per side ( remember, area of square = x^{2} )
so, to solve the equation, you find the square root of 256, which is 16!

~hope it makes sense~

To do this, you got to square 256.

The square root of 256 is 16.

Therefore, there are 16 small squares on each edge of the mosaic.

25 squares. Square root is 5. 5 along each edge. My work shares same concept.

There are 256 squares, and you can count 16 on each edge. this shows 16 times 16, or 16 squared, which is 256.

At 9:00 pm bob leaves his home and starts walking to the bus stop at a constant speed of 9.3 feet per second. bob's house is 432
klio [65]
a. define variables for the quantities that are changing (be specific).
 We define variables:
 t = time in second
 d = distance traveled
 The variables that are changing are t and d.
 As the time increases, the distance decreases.

 b. what does it mean to say bob walks at a constant speed of 9.3 feet per second?
 It means that for every second that passes, Bob walks 9.3 feet.

 c. consider the formula d = 4320 - 9.3t i. what does t represent? ii. what does 9.3t represent? iii. what does d represent? 
 For this case we have:
 t = represents the time in seconds
 9.3t = represents the distance traveled by Bob
 d = represents the distance Bob must travel to get to the bus stop.

What is the equation of a line that has a slope of 0 and goes through the point (4, 10)?
kompoz [17]

Answer:

y =10

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in point slope form is expressed as;

y - y0 = m(x-x0)

m is the slope

(x0, y0) is the point on the line

Given

m = 0 and (x0, y0) = (4, 10)

On substituting;

y - 10 = 0(x-4)

y - 10 = 0

y = 0+10

y = 10

Hence the required equation of the line is y =10

At an animal shelter, there are 15 dogs and 12 cats.
Bond [772]

Answer:

Dogs: 44.44 Cats: 55.556

Step-by-step explanation:

*this is <em>only </em>if you are allowed to use a calculator*

1. You have to add the total of the cats and dogs

Why? Here, let me put it this way. You have a test with two sections: math and science. If there are 2 Maths Questions and 2 Science questions, what percent of the test are math questions? You would not say 2/2 and say 100. You would say 2/4 because it is obvious. You do the same in this case but it is not as noticeable because you are dealing with bigger numbers.

15 + 12 = <u>27</u>.

2. Solve

<u>a. </u>There are 15 dogs and 12 cats that makes up 27 pets total.

So you have to do 12/27 for cats,

15/27 for dogs. The fractions equal one and It shows you how much of one is there compared to the total.

<u>b. </u><u><em>Simplify</em></u>

You can simplify these fractions:

for 12/27, divide the numerator and the denominator by 3.

You get 4/9

Divide 15/27 for dogs by 3 as well to get 5/9.

5+4 is 9, which means that I am doing the math correctly.

According to the calculator, 5/9 is 55.556, and 4/9 is 44.444

They should be accurate because there are more dogs than cats and the percentage for dogs are higher. Hence, this is correct.

Cats = 4/9 = 44.444%

Dogs = 5/9 = 55.556%

Hope this helps :)
