X = 1st piece, y = 2nd piece, z = 3rd piece

x + y + z = 224
x = 2y
z = 1/2y

2y + y + 1/2y = 224
3.5y = 224
y = 224/3.5
y = 64 cm<== 2nd piece

x = 2y
x = 2(64)
x = 128 cm...1st piece

z = 1/2y
z = 1/2(64)
z = 64/2
z = 32 cm....3rd piece

First=2x
third=x/2
x+2x+(x/2)=5x/2
7x/2=224
multiply by 2
(7x/2)*2=224*2
5x=448
x=64
x=64 cm the second part
first part =2x=64*z=128 cm
third part=x/2=64/2=32 cm

1. The cost of 4 hates is $29.68. What is the unit price?
OlgaM077 [116]

To find the unit price, divide the total price by the number of items. A unit price is a unit rate for one item.

1. 29.68 / 4 = 7.42

So $7.42 is the unit price.

2. 625 / 6 = 104 (rounded to the nearest whole number)

So Jess can type 104 words per minute.

H(x) = −(x − 5)2 + 3
aleksandr82 [10.1K]
Max(f(x)) = f(3) = 4

Max(g(x)) = g(π/2) = 2

Max(h(x)) = h(5) = 3

Of these values, f(3) = 4 is the largest.


The function with the largest maximum is f(x).
