Answer:

a) The greatest possible length is 35.

b) l = w + 20

Step-by-step explanation:

The farmer wants the length of the pen to be 20ft longer than the width. If we use w to represent the width. Then the length would be w + 20

The problem first ask us to find the greatest possible length considering the fencing will be no more than 100ft.

We know that the perimeter of a rectangular area is: 2l + 2w (where l is the length and w the width)

Therefore for the fencing we would need 2l + 2w ≤ 100.

We are going to substitute the values for l and w that we mentioned at the beginning and solve for w:

2l + 2w ≤ 100

2(w+20) +2w ≤ 100

2w + 40 +2w ≤ 100

4w ≤ 100 - 40

4w ≤60

w ≤ 15

Therefore the width has to be less or equal to 15.

Since the length is 20 ft longer than the width, the greatest possible length happens when the width has its greatest value.

So when w = 15, the length is 35 and this is the greatest possible length of it.

b) The expression that represents the length (as we said before) is w + 20

2l+2w=100
2(w+20)+2w=100
2w+40+2w=100
4w+40=100
4w=60
w=15
l=w+20
l=15+20
Greatest length is 35ft.

What multiple of 7 is also a factor of 7
enyata [817]
<span>The answer is 7. Seven is a prime number, which means that its multiples are 1 and itself (7): 7 = 1 * 7. To find out which one is a factor of 7, we should divide each of them by 7. 1/7 will be a decimal number and 7/7 = 1, which is a whole number. Thus, 7 will be a multiple of 7 and also a factor of 7.Hope this helps. Let me know if you need additional help!</span>

The probability that a player will be asked a math question and then a music question is 0.03125

<h3>How to determine the probability?</h3>

The size of the sections are given as:

Music = 0.5

Sport = 0.5

Others = 1

So, the total size is:

Total = 0.5 + 0.5 + 1 + 1 + 1

Evaluate

Total = 4

The probability of asking a math question is:

P(Math) = 1/4 = 0.25

The probability of asking a music question is:

P(Music) = 0.5/4 = 0.125

The required probability is:

P(Math and Music) = P(Math) * P(Music)

This gives

P(Math and Music) = 0.25 * 0.125

Evaluate

P(Math and Music) = 0.03125

Hence, the probability that a player will be asked a math question and then a music question is 0.03125
