Allana 3/5 used yard of fabric to make a scarf. Can she make 2 of these scarves with 1 7/10 yards of fabric, and why?

One scarf takes 3/5 of a yard. Two of these takes 6/5 of a yard. If we put the 1 7/10 into an improper fraction we would get 17/10. So in order to compare the two fractions, the 6/5 and the 17/10, they have to have the same denominator. 6/5 can be rewritten as 12/10. 12/10 is less that the 17/10 you have, so yes you can make two scarves with that amount of fabric.

Help Please!!<br> What is the value of a?<br><br> Enter your answer in the box.<br><br> a =

Talja [164]

Answer:

a=15

Step-by-step explanation:

By pythagoras' theorem

25²=20²+a²

625=400+a² group like terms

a²=625-400

a²=225

$\sqrt{a {}^{2} } = \sqrt{225}$

therefore a=15

Cos (A+B) =1/5<br>COS (A-B) = 3/5<br>Then find tan (A-B)

Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

tan (A-B) = ± 4/3

Step-by-step explanation:

COS (A-B) = 3/5

COS² (A-B) = (3/5)² = 9/25 = 1 - sin² (A-B)

sin² (A-B) = 1 - 9/25 = 16/25

sin (A-B) = ± 4/5

tan (A-B) = sin (A-B) / cos (A-B) = (± 4/5) / (3/5) = ± 4/3

If (ax+2)(bx+7)=15x2+cx+14 for all values of x, and a+b=8, what are the 2 possible values fo c

dolphi86 [110]

Given:

$(ax+2)(bx+7)=15x^2+cx+14$

And

$a+b=8$

Required:

To find the two possible values of c.

Explanation:

Consider

$\begin{gathered} (ax+2)(bx+7)=15x^2+cx+14 \\ abx^2+7ax+2bx+14=15x^2+cx+14 \end{gathered}$

So

$\begin{gathered} ab=15-----(1) \\ 7a+2b=c \end{gathered}$

And also given

$a+b=8---(2)$

Now from (1) and (2), we get

$\begin{gathered} a+\frac{15}{a}=8 \\ \\ a^2+15=8a \\ \\ a^2-8a+15=0 \end{gathered}$ $a=3,5$

Now put a in (1) we get

$\begin{gathered} (3)b=15 \\ b=\frac{15}{3} \\ b=5 \\ OR \\ b=\frac{15}{5} \\ b=3 \end{gathered}$

We can interpret that either of a or b are equal to 3 or 5.

When a=3 and b=5, we have

$\begin{gathered} c=7(3)+2(5) \\ =21+10 \\ =31 \end{gathered}$

When a=5 and b=3, we have

$\begin{gathered} c=7(5)+2(3) \\ =35+6 \\ =41 \end{gathered}$

Final Answer:

The option D is correct.

31 and 41
