Louis has 7 1/2 ft of red ribbon. How many red bows can he make using 3/4 ft pieces of ribbon for each bow?

1 answer:

6 0

So I got 10 bows he can make

7 1/2 = 15/2 = 7.5
3/4 = .75

1) 7.50-.75=6.75
2) 6.75-.75=6.00
3) 6.00-.75=5.25
4) 5.25-.75=4.50
5) 4.50-.75=3.75
6) 3.75-.75=3.00
7) 3.00-.75=2.25
8) 2.25-.75=1.50
9) 1.50-.75=.75
10) .75-.75=0

A tennis tournament has 2n contestants. We want to pair them up for the first round of singles matches. Show that the number of

ddd [48]

There are

$\dbinom{2n}2 = \dfrac{(2n)!}{2! (2n-2)!}$

ways of pairing up any 2 members from the pool of $2n$ contestants. Note that

$(2n)! = 1\times2\times3\times4\times\cdots\times(2n-2)\times(2n-1)\times(2n) = (2n-2)! \times(2n-1) \times(2n)$

so that

$\dbinom{2n}2 = \dfrac{(2n)\times(2n-1)\times(2n-2)!}{2! (2n-2)!} = \boxed{n(2n-1)}$

What is the rate of change of the function y = − 1/4 x + 1

scoray [572]

Answer:

-1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

The rate of change is also known as the slope.

Standard equation of a line: y = mx + b

y: output
m: slope
x: input
b: y-intercept

So, if we match the standard form to the given function:

y = mx + b
y = -1/4x + 1

-1/4 is m, or the rate of change.
