Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: The swimming pool is not a square. This is because if you find the square root of the given area, it will not give you the given length. So the swimming pool has length and width of different dimensions. It is a rectangle. The formula for the area of a rectangle is expressed as Length × width.

The length of the swimming is given as 20 1/4 yards = 20.25

The area of the swimming is given as 256 1/2 square yards = 256.5 square yards

Width of the pool is area/length

= 256.5/20.25 = 12.67 yards

So he is wrong. The width is not 3/38 yard.

Students are given 3 minutes to complete each multiple-choice question on a test and 8 minutes for each free-response question.
SpyIntel [72]

Let

x------> the number of multiple choice question

y------> the number of free response question

we know that

3x+8y=55 -----> equation A

x+y=15

x=15-y -----> equation B

Substitute equation B in equation A

3[15-y]+8y=55

45-3y+8y=55

5y=55-45

5y=10

y=2

Find the value of x

x=15-y

x=15-2=13

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

the number of multiple choice question are 13

the number of free response question are 2

1/7(x+21)=-6<br> answer ?
Talja [164]
(1/7) Multiplied By x is 1/7x And (1/7) Multplied By Positive 21 is 3. So It Will Then Change To 1/7x + 3 = -6.
Subtract 3 From Both Sides. Then The Equation Changes To 1/7x = -9
Then Since (1/7) Basically Means To Divide You Would Multiply By 7 On Both Sides And Then x Would Equal -63!(:
Then Can Plug In -63 Where x Is To Check Your Work! Hope I Helped!

Degger [83]

Answer:

A. Bar graph

Step-by-step explanation:

Since they are all different activities and don't relate you can put different bars to put the different activities and use the left to indicate the amount of students and grow the bar according to the amount of students in that activity; each bar stands for a different activity, the y-intercept is for the amount of students, the bar will grow 'up' according to the amount of students.
