Let L = lengthLet W = width Length is 5 yd less than twice the width  ==>  L = 2*W - 5 Area is 52 yd^2  ==>  52 = L*W Substitute the value for L from the 1st equation into the 2nd equation 
52 = (2*W - 5) * W52 = 2*W^2 - 5*W0 = 2*W^2 - 5*W - 52 0 = (2W - 13)*(W + 4) 2W - 13 = 0  or  W + 4 = 0W = 13/2      or  W = -4 Width cannot be negative so discard W = -4  W = 13/2  ==>  L = 2*(13/2) - 5 = 13 - 5 = 8  So the width is 13/2 yards and the length is 8 yards  Check:  2*(13/2) - 5 = 13 - 5 = 8             (13/2)*8 = 4*13 = 52 yd^2

There were 3 apple, 1 mixed fruit, 2 grape, and 4 tropical fruit juice boxes in the cooler at the picnic. What is the probabilit
goldenfox [79]

There are  10  juice boxes in the cooler altogether.
2  of them are grape.

The first time Jill pulls one out with her eyes closed,
the probability that it's a grape is

                                         2 / 10 .

If that try is successful, then there are  9  boxes left in the cooler,
and one of them is grape.

If she already has one grape, and reaches in again with her eyes
closed, the probability of pulling out the second grape is

                                        1 / 9 .

The probability of both events happening in two tries is

                           (2/10) x (1/9) = 2/90 = 1/45  =  (2 and 2/9) percent .

Answer:

A dilation of 2 about the origin.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can see in the original figure the points are half the points of the transformed figure.

For example the coordinates of H are (0.5,0)

The coordinates of H' are (1,0)

Since 0.5 * 2 = 1

There is a dilation of 2 about the origin.

Each month for 7 months, Eve reads 3 books. How many more books does she need to read before she has read 30 books?
enot [183]
How many books has she read so far? She's been doing this for 7 months, so so far she's read:

7*3=21

how many does she still need to read?

30-21=9

so she needs to read 9 more books. With 3 books a month, this means:

9/3=3

so she needs to read 9 more books, which will take her 3 months!
