Mr. Stanton bought 121 feet of rope to repair a rope bridge. The ratio of the two pieces that he needs from the length he bought

is 4 to 7. If he uses the entire length of rope, how long is each piece?

121 ft total and is split by a ratio of 4:7
4+7=11
121/11 = 11
So on piece is 4(11)=44ft long, and one is 7(11)=77ft long.

As a fraction, the exact answer is 5/6
In decimal form, the approximate answer is 0.8333

To get this answer, note how there are 5 ways to roll something that isn't a three (1,2,4,5,6) out of 6 ways total (1,2,3,4,5,6)

So you simply divide the two values to get 5/6 = 0.8333

Learning Task 3

ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

1. The sides are: 38.5, 39.5, 40.5 and 41.5

2. Presently, Inzo is 15 years old and Miz is 10 years old

3. $Distance = 3682km$

4. Possible pairs are: (12, 14), (16, 18) and (20, 24)

5. $L < 38m$

Step-by-step explanation:

The question has lots of missing details. See the comment section for complete question

Solving (a):

Given

Shape: Quadrilateral

Sides: Consecutive

$Perimeter = 160$

Let one of the sides be x. The other sides will be x + 1, x + 2 and x + 3.

So, the perimeter is:

$Perimeter = x + x + 1 + x + 2 + x + 3$

This gives:

$160 = x + x + 1 + x + 2 + x + 3$

Collect Like Terms

$160 -1-2-3= x+x+x+x$

$154= 4x$

Divide both sides by 4

$38.5 = x$

$x =38.5$

<em>So, the sides are: 38.5, 39.5, 40.5 and 41.5</em>

<em></em>

Solving (b):

Given

Presently: $Inzo = 10 + Miz$

Five years ago: $Miz - 5= \frac{1}{3} * (Inzo-5)$ --- (Missing from the question)

Required: Determine their present ages

Substitute $10 + Miz$ for Inzo in the second equation

$Miz - 5 = \frac{1}{3} * (10 + Miz - 5)$

$Miz - 5 = \frac{1}{3} * (Miz + 5)$

Multiply both sides by 3

$3Miz - 15 = Miz + 5$

Collect Like Terms

$3Miz -Miz = 15 + 5$

$2Miz= 20$

Divide both sides by 2

$Miz = 10$

Substitute 10 for Miz in $Inzo = 10 + Miz$

$Inzo = 10 + 5$

$Inzo = 15$

<em>So presently, Inzo is 15 years old and Miz is 10 years old</em>

Solving (3):

Given

Express Train:

$Speed = 100kph$

$Time = t$

Local Train:

$Speed = 45kph$

$Time = t + 45$

Required: Determine the distance between A and B

Distance is calculated as:

$Distance = Speed * Time$

For the express train:

$Distance = 100 * t$

For the local train

$Distance = 45 * (45 + t)$

Distance between both stations are equal; So,

$100 * t = 45 * (45 + t)$

$100 t = 2025 + 45t$

Collect Like Terms

$100 t -45t= 2025$

$55t= 2025$

Divide by 55

$t = 36.82$

Substitute 36.82 for t in $Distance = 100 * t$

$Distance = 100 * 36.82$

$Distance = 3682km$

Solving (4):

Let the even numbers be: n and n + 2.

Sum greater than 24: $n + n + 2 > 24$

Sum less than 60: $n + n + 2 < 60$

So, we have:

$n + n + 2 > 24$

$2n + 2 > 24$

Collect Like Terms

$2n > 24-2$

$2n > 22$

$n > 11$

$n + n + 2 < 60$

$2n + 2< 60$

Collect Like Terms

$2n < 60-2$

$2n < 58$

Divide by 2

$n$

So, we have:

$n > 11$ and $n < 29$

So, possible pairs are: (12, 14), (16, 18) and (20, 24)

Solving (5):

Given

$Perimeter < 152m$

Required: Find the possible lengths

Let the length be L.

Perimeter is calculated as:

$Perimeter =4 * L$

$Perimeter =4 L$

So, we have:

$4L < 152m$

Divide through by 4

$L < 38m$

Hence, length is less than 38m (e.g. 37m)

4y+12=0<br> How do I get the two points to be graphed

coldgirl [10]

Did somebody say you're supposed to draw the graph of the equation ?
Is that the assignment ?

OK. Just like every other equation you need to graph, get it in the
standard form, where 'y' is all alone on one side, and everything else
is on the other side. When you do that, you'll be able to spot the slope
and y-intercept of the line, or get some points, or whatever you want.

4y + 12 = 0

Subtract 12 from each side: 4y = -12

Divide each side by 4: y = -3

There's the equation you can handle.
The y-intercept is -3, and the slope is zero.

Would you like some points ? OK. Pick a couple of values for 'x',
and calculate the value of 'y' for each one:

The first value I picked for 'x': x = 72
The equation is y=-3, so when x=72, y=-3. The point is (72, -3)

The second value I picked for 'x' is: x = 1
The equation is y=-3, so when x=1, y=-3. The second point is (1, -3).

The third value I picked for 'x' is 4 billion.
The equation is y=-3, so when x=4 billion, y=-3. The third point is (1, -3).

Do you see what's going on here ? Your original equation didn't even
have 'x' in it, so we could tell right away that when the graph is drawn,
the value of 'y' at every point can't depend on 'x'.

When we simplified the equation and got it in standard form, we found that
the slope of the graph is zero. That means the graph doesn't rise or fall ...
it's just a horizontal line. Sure enough, the height of points on the line
doesn't depend on 'x'. The value of 'y' at every point on the line is -3 .
