Question 1 Answer:
Aunt 1 and Grandma 1 would fill gift bags.
Mom and Aunt 2 would make centerpieces.
You and Grandma 2 would blow up balloons.
Since you are pairing up to complete the tasks, these pairs each have the shortest times in their respective categories and therefore are the most logical pairing to complete tasks.
Question 2 Answer:
We use algebra and our previous pairings to determine the length of each task.
<u>Gifts Bags --> 6/7 hours</u>
x = time together
= rate of completion
Aunt 1 = 
Grandma 1 = 
<u>Centerpieces --> 7/4 hours</u>
x = time together = rate of completion
Mom = 
Aunt 2 =
<u>Balloons --> 15/16 hours</u>
x = time together = rate of completion
You = Grandma 2 = 
Shortest amount of time to complete all tasks is:
≈ 3.54 hours
Converting hours to hours and minutes --> 3 hours 32 minutes
Therefore they must arrive by 5:28pm to complete the tasks in time to leave at 9:00pm.
If you put the equation into graphing calculator online or manual, you can get the graph.
The answer is 8 1/4 hours
Answer:
x = 14.25
Step-by-step explanation:
Start with a^2 + b^2 = c^2
a = 11
b = x
c = 18
plug in and solve
11^2 + x^2 = 18^2
121 + x^2 = 324 - Simplify
x^2 = 203 - subtract 121 from both sides
x = 14.247 rounds to 14.25 - square root on both sides
Answer:
20 feet wide, 24 feet long
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x - width, y - length.
The perimeter is given by the formula:
P = 2*(width + length) or using x, y
P = 2*(x + y) = 88
x + y = 44
And we know that the ratio between the sides is 5/6:
x/y = 5/6. x is on top because the length is bigger than the width
x = 5y/6
Plug this in the first expression:
y + 5y/6 = 44. Muliply by 6
6y + 5y = 264
11y = 264
y = 264/11 = 24.
So x = 5(24)/6 = 20
