Bruce has a rope that is 21 feet long he needs to cut the rope into 1/5 long pieces.

The length of the rope = 21 feet

the length of each strip = $\frac{1}{5}$

We need to cut the rope 21 feet into $\frac{1}{5}$ strips

To find the number of strips we divide 21 feet by the length of the strip

$\frac{21}{\frac{1}{5}}$ = $21 * \frac{5}{1}$ = 105

105 strips can Bruce cut from his rope.

Pretty sure its 4. because 1/5 is .20 so 21 x .20 = 4.20
but you can't cut it into 4.20 pieces so 4

Jeff rode his bike around a bike trail that was 1/3 of a mile long. He rode around the trail 9 times. Write a fraction greater t

Lisa [10]

Well, $\frac{1}{3} * 9 = 3$ So he rode $3$ miles, or if they want it as a fraction, it would be $\frac{9}{3}$

The population of Luis’s city in 2005 was 7400 and the population in 2010 was 9000. Let x represent the number of years since 20

podryga [215]

Answer:

The linear equation is;

y = 320x + 7400

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to write a linear equation that represents the population y at a year since 2005

To write this, we need points

Initially, we have (0,7400)

Since the difference between 2005 and 2010 is 5, the second point will be (5,9000)

Mathematically, we can get the slope as follows;

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) = (9000-7400)/(5-0) = 1,600/5 = 320

The equation of the line can be represented using the general form as;

y = mx + b

where m is 320 and b is unknown

So we have the equation as;

y = 320x + b

we need to get b

To get b, we can use any point

let us use the point (0,7400)

substituting this;

7400 = 320(0) + c

c = 7400

so the equation is;

y = 320x + 7400

Mr lim had just enough money to buy 6 similar lamps. However, he bought 3 such lamps and had $950 left. How much money did mr li

Artyom0805 [142]

Let the cost of a lamp = x

6 lamps would cost 6x

He bought 3 lamps at 3x plus Thad 950 left.

3 lamps plus the 950

Would be the same amount as 6 lamps:

Set up an equation and solve for x:

3x + 950 = 6x

Subtract 3x from both sides:

950 = 3x

Divide both sides by 3:

X = 316.67

Each lamp was $316.67

Multiply the price of a lamp by 6:

316.67 x 6 = 1900

He had $1900
