Answer: The width of the leftover brass is 17 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, to answer this question, first, we have to add the width of the pieces cut.
Mathematically speaking:
8 in +8 in = 16 in
Now, we have to subtract that result to the width of the sheet of brass.
33 in -16 in = 17 in
The width of the leftover brass is 17 inches.

Answer: Choice B) 3:1</h3>
=============================================================
Explanation:
Consider a very small town of only 4 people.
If 1 person bikes to work, then 1/4 = 0.25 = 25% of the population commutes by bicycle. We see that the remaining 4-1 = 3 people don't travel by bike.
The odds against selecting someone who uses their bike to get to work is 3:1 which is why the answer is choice B
We list the number of people we don't want first, and then the number of people we do want (those who use a bike). A colon separates the two values to form the odds ratio.
We can say "3:1" as "3 to 1". It means we're 3 times more likely to select someone we don't want vs someone we do want. The odds are against the bike person which is why the value we don't want is listed first.
In contrast, if your teacher asked "what are the odds in favor of selecting someone who commutes by bicycle?" then the answer would be 1:3. We simply swap the positions of what we set up earlier.
Distance traveled should be on y axis
hours should be on x axis
increments should be 5
