Let us assume that the number of pieces that can be cut = x
Length of each shelf board = 1 1/3 feet
                                   = 4/3 feet
Total length of board available for making shelf = 18 foot
Then
4x/3 = 18
4x = 18 * 3
4x = 54
x = 54/4
   = 13 2/4
As we can see from the above deduction, 13 shelf's can be made from the 18 foot board. There will be about 2/4th of the board remaining, but that 2/4th part will be wasted as it cannot create a complete board.I hope the answer is to your satisfaction and the explanation is clear to you.

Find the solution using the Quadratic Formula. (show work) 2x + 8x+ 5 = 0 a. 47 ſ6 b. -27 56 c. -2± √3​
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

The roots of the equation for the given quadratic equation is               -2\pm \frac{\sqrt{6}}{2} .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given quadratic equation as :

2 x² + 8 x + 5 = 0

The roots of the quadratic equation  ax² + bx + c = 0 as can be find as :

x = \frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4\times a\times c}}{2\times a}

x = \frac{-8\pm \sqrt{8^{2}-4\times 2\times 5}}{2\times 2}

or, x = \frac{-8\pm \sqrt{64-40}}{4}

Or, x = \frac{-8\pm \sqrt{24}}{4}

Or, x = \frac{-8\pm 2\sqrt{6}}{4}

∴ x = -2\pm \frac{\sqrt{6}}{2}

Hence The roots of the equation for the given quadratic equation is -2\pm \frac{\sqrt{6}}{2} . Answer

Flura [38]

Answer:

3.75

Step-by-step explanation:

g(x)=60(1-0.5)^x, g(4)

g(4)=60(1-0.5)^4

g(4)=60(.5)^4

g(4)=60(0.0625)

g(4)=3.75

Bryce intended to swim directly across a stream that is 99 meters wide. But the current caused him to arrive at the opposite sho
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

101 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The direct path across the stream and perpendicular to both sides of the stream is one leg of a right triangle. The 20 meter distance on the arriving side of the stream is another leg of the right triangle. The path he actually took is the hypotenuse of the right triangle.

leg 1 = 99 m

leg 2 = 20 m

hypotenuse = ?

We have a right triangle, and we know the lengths of the two legs. We need to find the length of the hypotenuse, so we can use the Pythagorean theorem.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

99^2 + 20^2 = c^2

9801 + 400 = c^2

c^2 = 10201

c = sqrt(10201) = 101

Answer: 101 meters
