A = first piece, b = second piece, c = third piece

a + b + c = 47
b = 3a
c = 5a + 2

a + (3a) + (5a + 2) = 47.....combine like terms
9a + 2 = 47
9a = 47 - 2
9a = 45
a = 45/9
a = 5 ft

b = 3a.....b = 3(5)....b = 15 ft
c = 5a + 2....c = 5(5) + 2.....c = 25 + 2....c = 27 ft

longest piece (c) = 27 ft

Emily has 300 books. if frank were to double the number of books that he now owns, he would still have fewer than Emily has
Alex_Xolod [135]
This statement is false. 
If he were to double the amount that Emily has to get franks, franks would have more. 
Look :)
Emily's = 300
Frank's = 300 x 2 = 600

now...
Emily's = 300
Frank's = 600

So frank has more! NOT fewer.

Dr. David Smith lived 1/13 of his life as a child. He spent 4/39 of his life preparing for an outstanding
stich3 [128]

Answer:

40 14/25 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, this certainly is fun.

First, to find the fraction of the doctor's life which 13 years represents, subtract the fractions from 1 (and in this case l stands for lifetime):

13 = (1 - (\frac{1}{13} + \frac{4}{39} + \frac{1}{2}))(l)

13 = (\frac{25}{78})(l)

So, multiply this equation by the reciprocal of 25/78 to isolate one of l:

13(\frac{78}{25}) = l

l = 40\frac{14}{25} years

Michael is using a drawing program to complete a construction. Which construction is he completing? A circle is drawn with two p
Varvara68 [4.7K]
The drawing shows a circle, with the two lines forming a cross assumed to be perpendicular to each other, so this is most likely to be a square, as the four points at which the perpendicular lines intersect with the circle can be connected to form a square.
We would need 3 points for an equilateral triangle, 5 for a pentagon, and 6 for a hexagon, which do not fit the current steps.
