IRINA_888 [86]

<u>ANSWER: </u>

The algebraic expression for number of ribbons is $\frac{20 \text { feet }-\left\{\frac{20 \text { feet }}{x}\right\}}{x}$ and the algebraic expression for length of ribbon is $\frac{25 x}{3} \text { feet }$

<u>SOLUTION: </u>

Given, 20 feet of ribbon, cutting ribbon into $7\frac{1}{2}$ inches or $6\frac{3}{4}$ inch lengths to make bracelets.

Let us convert the mixed fraction to improper fractions.

$7 \frac{1}{2}=\frac{7 \times 2+1}{2}=\frac{15}{2} \text { and } 6 \frac{3}{4}=\frac{6 \times 4+3}{4}=\frac{27}{4}$

Let, the length of bracelets can be made be “x”

First we have to remove the excess length of ribbon and then we have to divide the remaining with length of bracelet we want.

$\text { number of ribbons }=\frac{\text { length of ribbon-excess ribbon.}}{\text {length of bracelet}}$

$\left.=\frac{20 \text { feet }-\left\{\frac{20 \text { feep }}{x}\right.}{x} \text { [we know that, }\{x\} \text { is fractional part of } x\right$ ]

So, the algebraic expression for number of ribbons is $\frac{20 \text { feet }-\left\{\frac{20 \text { feet }}{x}\right\}}{x}$

Now, let us find the algebraic expression for feet of ribbon to make 100 ribbons.

We have 100 bracelets of length x, then total length = 100 × x

length of ribbon = 100x inches

$\begin{array}{l}{=100 \mathrm{x} \times \frac{1}{12} \text { feet }} \\\\ {=\frac{25 x}{3} \text { feet }}\end{array}$

So, the algebraic expression for length of ribbon is $\frac{25 x}{3} \text { feet }$

Hence, the algebraic expression for number of ribbons is $\frac{20 \text { feet }-\left\{\frac{20 \text { feet }}{x}\right\}}{x}$ and the algebraic expression for length of ribbon is $\frac{25 x}{3} \text { feet }$

if a toy rocket is launced vertically upward from ground level with an inital velocity of 128 feet per second, then its high h,

makkiz [27]

The toy rocket hits the ground when h(t) = 0.
So, h(t) = 0 = -9t^2 + 81.

Solving the equation,
-9t^2 = -81
Dividing by -9
t^2 = 9
Taking the square root.
t = 3

The answer is 3 seconds.
