Answer:

The maximum possible length, in centimeters, of the longest piece of rope is 134 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the seven pieces be a,b,c,d,e,f,g

Average of 7 pieces of ropes  =68

Average = \frac{\text{Sum of all lengths}}{\text{No. of pieces}}

68= \frac{\text{Sum of all lengths}}{7}

68 \times 7 =\text{a+b+c+d+e+f+g}

476=\text{a+b+c+d+e+f+g} --A

We are given that the median length of a piece of rope is 84 centimeters.

We arrange the pieces in the ascending order

So, median will be the length of 4th piece

So, d = 84 cm

the length of piece a,b,c will be less than 84 and the value of e,f,g must be greater than or equal to 84

Let us suppose the length of a,b,c be x

Let us suppose the length of e,f be 84

The length of the longest piece of rope is 14 centimeters more than 4 times the length of the shortest piece of rope

So, g = 4x+14

Substitute the value in A

476=x+x+x+84+84+84+4x+14

476=7x+266

\frac{476-266}{7}=x

30=x

g = 4x+14=4(30)+14=134

Hence the maximum possible length, in centimeters, of the longest piece of rope is 134 cm

HURRY PLEASE what's the answer?<br> A<br> B<br> C<br> D
Zarrin [17]

Answer:

x ≤ -11.25 or x > -8.75

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph here shows a disjunction compound inequality, in which either of the statements is true. That is for the compound inequality to be true, either one or the other statement is true. The word "OR" is used in stating this inequality.

On the graph, the directed line to our left has a full circle which starts at -11.25.

This means x ≤ -11.25.

The other directed line to our right has an empty circle, and starts at -8.75.

This means x > -8.75.

✅The compound inequality representing the graph will be written as:

x ≤ -11.25 or x > -8.75

A paddleboat can move at a speed of 4 ​km/h in still water. The boat is paddled 12 km downstream in a river in the same time it
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

Speed of the river = \frac{4}{3} km per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed of the boat in still water = 4 km per hour

Let the speed of the river = v km per hour

Speed of the boat upstream = (4 - v) km per hour

Time taken to cover 6 km = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}}

                                           = \frac{6}{4-v} hours

Speed of the boat downstream = (4 + v) km per hour

Time taken to cover 12 km = \frac{12}{4+v} hours

Since, time taken by the boat in both the cases is same,

\frac{6}{4-v}= \frac{12}{4+v}

6(4 + v) = 12(4 - v)

24 + 6v = 48 - 12v

12v + 6v = 48 - 24

18v = 24

v = \frac{24}{18}

v = \frac{4}{3} km per hour
