Describe how you would use a yardstick to measure a length of a rug

1 answer:

6 0

<span>If you didn't know the precise measurements, you could lay the stick on the rug and measure how many of those yardsticks fit onto that rug. Then you could take that yardstick to a store and find a new one by applying the same type of measuring and you would find things that are the same size. You would use the stick for reference.</span>

Lily is using wrapping paper to cover a box with dimensions 7 centimeters by 10 centimeters by 5 centimeters. What is the least

Leto [7]

Answer: 310 centimeters square of paper

Explanation: to find the answer you need to know the surface area of the box. So you use the formula SA = 2ab+2bc+2ac
A=7
B=10
C=5
After inputting the values you get:
SA = 2(7)(10) + 2(10)(5) + 2(7)(5)
and after simplifying:
SA = 140+100+70
SA=310

Alik [6]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly,

We can tell by reading the question that they sell 48 cupcakes witch is 4 dozens every hour so if they continue to sell at that same rate then:

There are 8 hours between 9am and 5pm

∴ It is 48:1

That means 48 cupcakes per hour this is equation is a direct proportion so if any number increases so will the other

So if it is 48:1 then x:8 with be = 48x8

∴ Sarah and Jean will be able to sell 384 cupcakes

The population of Detroit, Michigan, decreased from 1,027,974 in 1990 to 688,701 in 2013 (Source: U.S. Census Bureau). Find the

the slope goes by several names

• average rate of change

• rate of change

• deltaY over deltaX

• Δy over Δx

• rise over run

• gradient

• constant of proportionality

however, is the same cat wearing different costumes.

to get the slope of any straight line, we simply need two points off of it, so let's use the ones provided in that

$\begin{array}{|cc|ll} \cline{1-2} \stackrel{years}{x}&\stackrel{population}{y}\\ \cline{1-2} 1990&1027974\\ 2013&688701\\ \cline{1-2} \end{array}\hspace{5em} (\stackrel{x_1}{1990}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{1027974})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{2013}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{688701}) \\\\\\ \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{688701}-\stackrel{y1}{1027974}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{2013}-\underset{x_1}{1990}}} \implies \cfrac{-339273}{23}\implies -14751\qquad \stackrel{rate~of}{change}$

let's notice, is negative since the population decreased.
