Answer:

It will take them 1.5 hours to wrap the same number of gifts.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The first thing that we should do is set up two equations to represent the number of gifts that they wrap.

a) Sally: y = 2x + 7

b) John: y = x + 10

Here, y represents the total number of gifts wrapped and x is the number of half hours that pass.

So, what we are saying is that:

a) for every half hour that passes, Sally wraps two gifts, and then she also has 7 gifts that she has already wrapped so we add that on.

b) for every half hour that passes, John wraps one gift, and then he also has 10 gifts that he has already wrapped so we add that on.

2. Now that we have our two equations, we need to find when the number of gifts they have wrapped is equal, ie. when the two equations are equal. Thus, when:

2x + 7 = x + 10

x + 7 = 10 (Subtract x from each side)

x = 3 (Subtract 7 from each side)

Now, remember that x represents the number of half hours, so:

3 half hours = 3*0.5 hours = 1.5 hours

Therefor, it takes them 1.5 hours (or 1 hour and 30 minutes) to wrap the same number of gifts.

For this case we have to, by defining properties of powers and roots the following is fulfilled:

\sqrt [n] {a ^ m} = a ^ {\frac {m} {n}}

We must rewrite the following expression:

\sqrt [3] {8 ^ {\frac {1} {4} x}}

Applying the property listed we have:

\sqrt [3] {8 ^ {\frac {1} {4} x}} = 8 ^ {\frac{\frac {1} {4} x} {3} }= 8 ^ {\frac {1} {4 * 3} x} = 8 ^ {\frac {1} {12} x}

Using the property again we have to:

8 ^ {\frac {1} {12} x} = \sqrt [12] {8 ^ x}

Thus, the correct option is option C

Answer:

Option C

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP MEEEEE

Answer:

Area = 23.12 cm²

perimeter = 24.28 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

top shaded region is circular arc with 90° sector angle

so perimeter of arc is 90 / 360 * 2πr

here radius of arc is half the length of square side

r = 6.8/2 = 3.4

top area shaded perimeter = 90/360 * 2 * 3.14 * 3.4

= 1/4 * 2 * 3.14 * 3.4

= 5.338

bottom region perimeter is also same

total perimeter of shaded region is = side + side + two arcs

= 6.8 + 6.8 + 2 * 5.338

= 13.6 + 10.676

= 24.276

= 24.28

Area of top shaded region is 90/360 * πr²

A = 1/4 * 3.14 * 3.4²

= 9.0746

bottom shaded region area is half of area of square - area of bottom arc

= 6.8 * 3.4  - 9.0746

= 23.12 - 9.0746

= 14.0454

so total area of shaded region is 9.0746 + 14.0454

= 23.12

or you can just calculate area as half of area of total square = 6.8² / 2

= 23.12
