Answer:

See I don't know the answer but I did another one like this if it doesn't help you can report it no problem

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 2 different ways you can solve this problem and you'll get the same answer.

To help you visualize what you have to do, it might be easiest to translate your problem to a unit that easier to use.

Since you only have a ribbon 5 feet long, but you must cut it into 6 pieces, you know it won't even be 1 foot long.

One way to solve the problem would be to translate your 5-foot ribbon into a ribbon divided into inches.

1 foot = 12 inches

To find out how many inches long your ribbon is, you'll need to multiply the number of feet by 12.

Once you know that, then you can more easily divide it by 6. This will tell you how many inches each ribbon is.

Careful! the answer is to be put into feet so once you know how many inches long the ribbon is, you must then divide by 12 to get the correct answer in feet. Don't forget to round to the nearest tenth.

Another way to solve the problem is to simply divide the 5 feet by the number 6 and then round your number to the nearest tenth. It may be harder to visualize the answer this way, but you will get the same answer as if you translated your ribbon into inches and then divided by 12.

Good luck! I hope this helps!

I need help with these two questions

Problem 4

Answer: 47

------------------------

Work Shown:

f(x) = x^2 - 7x + 3
f(x) = (x)^2 - 7(x) + 3
f(-4) = (-4)^2 - 7(-4) + 3 ... replace each x with -4
f(-4) = 16 - 7(-4) + 3
f(-4) = 16 + 28 + 3
f(-4) = 44 + 3
f(-4) = 47

============================================================

Problem 5

Answer: See the attached image for the table

------------------------

Work Shown:

Plug in n = 27 and we get...
C = 26 + 10*n
C = 26 + 10*27
C = 26 + 270
C = 296
The input n = 27 leads to the output C = 296. This means that 27 people will have the cost be $296

Do the same for n = 39
C = 26 + 10*n
C = 26 + 10*39
C = 26 + 390
C = 416
The input n = 39 leads to the output C = 416. This means that 39 people will have the cost be $416

and also n = 43 as well
C = 26 + 10*n
C = 26 + 10*43
C = 26 + 430
C = 456
The input n = 43 leads to the output C = 456. This means that 43 people will have the cost be $456
