3 0

Answer:

Yes, 4 + -4 = 0.

Think of it like a number line: The number four is 4 units to the right of the center which is 0, and the number negative four is 4 units to the left of the center. When you add them together, those distances cancel out, and you just get 0.

A rectangle has an area of 99 square in. What is the length of the long side?

OLga [1]

Answer:

The longer length is either 99, 33 or 11 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Area = 99$

Required

The length of the longer side

Area of a rectangle is:

$Area = Length * Width$

List out all possible products that give 99 [Assume the dimension are whole numbers]

$Length * Width = 99 * 1 = 99$

$Length * Width = 33 * 3 = 99$

$Length * Width = 11 * 9 = 99$

List out the longer factors

$L = \{99, 33, 11\}$

<em>Hence, the longer length is either 99, 33 or 11 inches</em>

Tom has a large photo he wants to shrink to wallet-sized. It's width is 20 centimeters and it's len is 30 centimeters. If he wan

dsp73

We can use ratios, in other words, if one part of the photo is changed x times, how many times does the other part change?

We can set up the proportion as :
width 1 : length 1 = width 2 : length 2

20 : 30 = 5 : x

We do inverse multiplication, or multiply the outer with outer and inner with inner (W1 * L2 and L1 * W2)

20*x = 30*5
20x = 150
Divide all by 10
2x = 15
Divide all by 2 to isolate x
x = 15/2
x = 7.5cm

Ella has a part-time job selling cupcakes at a cart in the park. She is paid $25 for a shift plus a fee of $0.25 for each cupcak

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

A) t = 0.25c +25

B) c = 52

C) 3 weekday shifts

Step-by-step explanation:

A. The amount Ella earns is $0.25 per cupcake, so for c cupcakes, that is ...

0.25c

In addition, she is paid $25, so her total amount she is paid is ...

t = 0.25c +25

B. In order to earn $38, the number of cupcakes sold must be ...

38 = 0.25c +25

13 = 0.25c . . . . . . subtract 25

52 = c . . . . . . . . . multiply by 4

Ella sold 52 cupcakes to earn $38.

C. On one of the average weekdays, Ella could be expected to earn ...

t = 0.25(36) +25 = 34

Then for 3 weekday shifts, her earnings would be 3($34) = $102. (It would take Ella 3 weeks to earn $300.)

On one of the average weekend shifts, Ella could be expected to earn ...

t = 0.25(62) +25 = 40.50

Then for 2 weekend shifts, her earnings would be 2($40.50) = $81. (It would take Ella 4 weekends to earn $300.)

Ella would earn $300 more quickly by working weekday shifts.
