I will say there are two ways to solve this problem. The first is, you can use your calculator and calculate it to see which is the closest to 2. The second way is divide it and here is how you do it:

1 is just 1
15/16      =        16 goes into 15 for less than one
17/8        =        8 goes into 17 for more than two so you can rewrite it                                            as 1(17/16)
63/33      =        33 does not go into 63 for two

So the answer is 17/8

A rectangular garden must have a perimeter of 150 feet and an area of at least 1200 square feet. Describe the possible lengths o
kipiarov [429]

Answer: 51.86 and 23.14

Step-by-step explanation:

The rectangular garden must have a perimeter of 150 feet

Perimeter of rectangular garden =

2l + 2w=150 -----------1

The rectangular garden must have a perimeter of 150 feet and an area of at least 1200 square feet.

Area of rectangular garden =

l×w= 1200 feet^2 -----------2

From equation 2, l=1200/w

Put l=1200/w in equation 1

2× 1200/w + 2w = 150

(2400/w) +2w = 150

(2400+2w^2)/w =150

2400+2w^2= 150w

2w^2- 150w+2400=0

Using the general formula

w = [-b+-√(b^2-4ac)]/2a

a = 2, b =-150, c=2400

w =[--150+/-√(-150^2-4×2×2400)]/2×2

=[150+/-√(22500-19200)]/4

=[150+/-√3300)]/4

=(150+57.45)/4 or (150-57.45)/4

w= 207.45/4 or 92.55/4

w= 51.86 or w= 23.14

l = 1200/51.86 or l= 1200/23.14

l = 23.14. or l= 51.86

For an area of at least 1200ft^2

The dimensions are 51.86 and 23.14

WILL GIVE POINTS AND BRAINLIEST
agasfer [191]

Answer: The patterns on that chart is the years of the different cases

Step-by-step explanation: One is talking about the cases in year 1931-40 and the other is 1941-50.

Also, let me tell you a history of those cases. In 1912, measles became a nationally notifiable disease in the United States, requiring U.S. healthcare providers and laboratories to report all diagnosed cases. In the first decade of reporting, an average of 6,000 measles-related deaths were reported each year.

In the decade before 1963 when a vaccine became available, nearly all children got measles by the time they were 15 years of age. It is estimated 3 to 4 million people in the United States were infected each year. Also each year, among reported cases, an estimated 400 to 500 people died, 48,000 were hospitalized, and 1,000 suffered encephalitis (swelling of the brain) from measles.

Done. pls give me brainiest

The base ticket price for a football game is modeled by the function p(x) = 15x + 10, where x is the years since the team starte
Svetllana [295]
The total cost of the ticket is the sum of the base ticket price, p(x) = 15x + 10, and the service charge, c(x) = 5x + 2. Therefore, from the word sum, the operation involved is Addition. This is the first among the choices given.
