Miss has a sheet of wrapping paper 85cm in length and 60 cm in width. She cuts the paper into rectangular pieces of length 20 cm

and width 10 cm to wrap a gift.
(a) what is the greatest number of pieces that can be cut from the sheet of paper?
(b) Miss wants to wrap 100 gifts. How many sheets of wrapping paper will she need?

Answer:

Part a - 25 pieces

Part b - 4 sheets

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Part a</u>

Think of this in terms of how many "units" can the total paper be cut into. Easiest way to keep track of units is by their area. In other words, take the total area and see how many unit areas fit into it:

Number of units = total area / unit area

N = (85 x 60) / (20 x 10)

N = 5100 / 200

N = 25.5

Therefore the greatest number of pieces the paper can be cut into is 25 units (the 0.5 doesn't count since it's not a full pieces).

<u>Part b</u>

Again, back to units. This time the "total" is 100, and our unit size is 25.5. So:

Number of units = total gifts / gifts per unit

N = 100 / 25.5

N = 3.9

Therefore 4 sheets of wrapping paper will be needed (you need to round the 3.9 up because wrapping paper sheets only come in whole numbers for the purposes of this question).

What is the minimum number of binary bits needed to represent each of the following unsigned decimal integers? a. 65
professor190 [17]

Answer: N >/= 7 bits

Minimum of 7 bits

Step-by-step explanation:

The minimum binary bits needed to represent 65 can be derived by converting 65 to binary numbers and counting the number of binary digits.

See conversation in the attachment.

65 = 1000001₂

65 = 7 bits :( 0 to 2^7 -1)

The number of binary digits is 7

N >/= 7 bits

Given the sequence 2, 5, 8, 11, 14, ..., which term is 59? (Hint: find n.)
____ [38]
N = 3  ( the next number is 3 plus the previous number
 sequence formula = an = 3(n-1) +2

so for term the term that =59

59 = 3(n-1) +2

distribute:
59 = 3n -3+2

59 = 3n -1

60 = 3n
n = 60/3
n = 20

59 is the 20th term

Find the rate of change of total​ revenue, cost, and profit with respect to time. Assume that​ R(x) and​ C(x) are in dollars. ​R
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the Total revenue R(x) = 2x

Cost C(x) = 0.01x²+0.3x+30 where;

x = 30 and dx/dt = 9units per day.

Rate of change of revenue dR/dt = dR/dx • dx/dt

dR/dt = 2dx/dt

dR/dt = 2(9) = $18

Rate of change of revenue with respect to time is 18dollars/day.

Rate of change of cost dC/dt = dC/dx • dx/dt

dC/dt = (0.02x+0.3)dx/dt

dC/dt at x = 30 and dx/dt = 9 will give;

dC/dt = {0.02(30)+0.3}×9

dC/dt = (0.6+0.3) × 9

dC/dt = 0.9×9

dC/dt = $8.1

Rate of change of cost with respect to time is 8.1dollars/day

Profit = Revenue - Cost

Profit = 18-8.1

Daily Profit = $9.9
