Let's find how many inches each piece of cable will be, by finding how many feet are in 8 yards, then finding how many inches are in that many feet. 

Since there are 3 feet in a yard, 3 x 8 = 24. There are 24 feet in 8 yards.

Since there are 12 inches in a foot, 12 x 24 = 288. There are 288 inches in 24 feet. 

Now let's find how long each cable will be. 288/9 = 32. 

Each piece of cable will be 32 inches long. 

Hope this helped! If you have anymore questions or don't understand, please comment or DM me. :)

Is 432 divisible by 9<br> I’m looking for the estimate 432 divided by 9
Monica [59]

Answer:

Yes (432 = 9 x48).

Step-by-step explanation:

The trick you need to know is the theorem that says that if the digits in a number add up to a multiple of 9, then the number itself is divisible by 9.

So we go 4+3+2 = 9.

So as this sum of 9 is divisible by 9, it means 432 is also divisible by 9.

If you want to work out the actual answer of 432 divided by 9, you can estimate it by doing 450 ÷ 9 = 50. Then see that 432 is 18 less than 450. And 18 = 2x9. So the answer to the division is 50-2 = 48.

Flying against the wind, a jet travels 2190 miles in 3 hours. Flying with the wind, the same jet travels 9520 miles in 8 hours.
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

Velocity of jet in still air is 970 miles per hour and velocity of wind is 210 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jet's velocity against wind is

3040/4 = 760 miles per hour and flying with wind it is

8260/7 = 1180 miles per hour.

Let the velocity of jet in still air be x miles per hour and velocity of wind be y miles per hour.

As such its velocity against wind is x − y and with wind is x + y and therefore

x − y = 760 and x + y = 1180

Adding the two 2 x = 1940 and x = 970 and y = 1180 − 970 = 210

Hence velocity of jet in still air is 970 miles per hour and velocity of wind is

210 miles per hour.

N/4 &lt; -1 on a number line<br> -10x&gt;-100 on a number line <br> 5x&gt;20 on a number line
blsea [12.9K]
N/4 < -1 — we can multiply both sides with 4, so we dont have to deal with fractions.

N < -4

So, our N goes left from -4 on a number line.

-10x<-100 — divide both sides by 10
-x < -10
x > 10

X is from 10 rightwards.

5x>20 — divide both sides by 5
x > 4

X is rightwards from 4.
