Question:

Abel planned for a garden to be 42 m long but found that it needs to be 24 m long to fit in his backyard. He found the change of scale below.

\frac{42m}{7}/{\frac{24m}{7} = \frac{6}{4}

Which is Abel’s error?

Abel should have written the ratio as 24 metres/7 metres

Abel should have written the ratio as 24 metres/42 metres

Abel should have divided both numbers by 6.

Abel should have divided both numbers by 4.

Answer:

Abel should have divided both numbers by 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Measured Length of backyard = 42m

Actual Length of backyard = 24m

Measured Ratio: \frac{42m}{7}/{\frac{24m}{7} = \frac{6}{4}

Required

Error in calculation of measured ratio

From Abel's calculation:

It can be observed that He divided both numbers by 7

Though 42/7 = 6 but that's not so for 24/7

24/7≠4;

Instead 24/7 = 3.43 (Approximated)

To get the actual ration, he has to divide both numbers by the highest common factor

The common factors of 42 and 24 include 2,3,6 of which the highest is 6

Hence; HCF of 42 and 24 = 6

So, we can conclude that the error in his calculation is having not dividing both numbers by 6

Two drivers, Alison and Kevin, are participating in a drag race. Beginning from a standing start, they each proceed with a const
Vilka [71]

Answer:

Alison wins against Kevin by 0.93 s

Step-by-step explanation:

Alison covers the last 1/4 of the distance in 3 seconds, at a constant acceleration a_a, we have the following equation of motion

s/4 = a_at_a^2/2

where s (m) is the total distance, ta = 3 s is the time

s = 4a_a3^2/2 = 18a_a

a_a = s/18

Similarly, Kevin overs the last 1/3 of the distance in 4 seconds, at a constant acceleration a_k, we have the following equation of motion:

s/3 = a_kt_k^2/2

tk = 4 s is the time

s = 3a_k4^2/2 = 24a_k

a_k = s/24

Since a_a = s/18 we can conclude that a_a > a_k, so Alison would win.

The time it takes for Alison to cover the entire track

s = a_aT_a^2/2

T_a^2 = 2s/a_a = 2s/(s/18) = 36

T_a = \sqrt{36} = 6 s

The time it takes for Kevin to cover the entire track

s = a_kT_k^2/2

T_k^2 = 2s/a_k = 2s/(s/24) = 48

T_a = \sqrt{48} = 6.93 s

So Alison wins against Kevin by 6.93 - 6 = 0.93 s

3.) (4 x 9 - 21) \ 3+6^2
nignag [31]

Answer:

41

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Expression:

(4 x 9 - 21) \ 3+6^2

Multiply 4 and 9 to get 36.

36 - 21 / 3 + 6^2

Subtract 21 from 36 to get 15.

15/3 + 6^2

Divide 15 by 3 to get 5.

5+6^2

Calculate 6 to the power of 2 and get 36.

5+36

Add 5 and 36 to get 41.

Using subsitution, which value of x makes this equation true?
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

x = 3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

After substituting each option into the equation, we find that the only option that makes the equation true is x=3/5, since 4/5 - 3/5 = 1/5.

prisoha [69]

Answer:

Length =

= 5/2 inches or 2 1/2 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Lin lines the bottom of her first pan with aluminum foil. The area of the rectangular piece of foil 11 1 4 is square inches. Its length is 4 1 2 inches. What is the width of the foil? Explain your reasoning.

Area of rectangle = Length × Width

Widths = Area/Length

The area of the rectangular piece of foil 11 1/4 is square inches.

Its length is 4 1 /2 inches.

Hence:

Length = 11 1/4 /4 1/2

= 45/4 ÷ 9/2

= 45/4 × 2/9

= 5/2 inches

= 2 1/2 inches
