Answer:

16\frac{2}{3}\approx 16.67 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that an engineer makes a model of a bridge using a scale of 1 inch = 3 yards. The length of the actual bridge is 50 yards.

To find the length of the model, we will use proportions as:

\frac{\text{Length of model}}{\text{Actual length}}=\frac{1\text{ inch}}{\text{3 yards}}

\frac{\text{Length of model}}{50\text{ yards}}=\frac{1\text{ inch}}{\text{3 yards}}

\frac{\text{Length of model}}{50\text{ yards}}*50\text{ yards}=\frac{1\text{ inch}}{\text{3 yards}}*50\text{ yards}

\text{Length of model}=\frac{50}{3}\text{ inch}

\text{Length of model}=16\frac{2}{3}\text{ inch}

Therefore, the length of model is 16\frac{2}{3}\approx 16.67 inches.

natka813 [3]

Answer:

Alberta's total overtime pay of the week was $ 145.80.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Alberta worked 6 hours at time-and-a-half pay, and 3 hours at double-time pay, and that the value of her regular work hour is $ 9.72, to determine the value of the pay of his overtime, the following equation must be performed:

6x1.5x9.72 + 3x2x9.72 = X

9x9.72 + 6x9.72 = X

87.48 + 58.32 = X

145.8 = X

Therefore, Alberta's total overtime pay of the week was $ 145.80.

Keisha, Felipe, and Manuel sent a total of 100 text messages during the weekend. Keisha sent 8 more messages than Felipe. Manuel
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

Felipe = 23 messages

Keisha = 31 messages

Manuel = 46 messages

Step-by-step explanation:

Keisha = K

Felipe = F

Manuel = M

=> There are a total of 100 messages.

=> K sent 8 +F => K = 8 + F

=> M sent 2 * F => M = 2F

=> F = F

=> 8 + F + 2F + F = 100

=> 8 + 4F = 100

=> 8 - 8 +4F = 100 -8

=> 4F = 92

=> 4F/4 = 92/4

=> F = 23

So, Felipe = 23 messages.

      Keisha = 8 + F = 8 + 23 = 31 messages.

      Manuel = 2F = 2* 23 = 46 messages.

46 + 31 + 23 = 77 + 23 = 100 messages.

So, the answer is correct.

If (x+yi)(1-3i)=10 <br> Then x+y=
Naily [24]

Answer:

x + y = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that, (x + iy)(1 - 3i) = 10, then we have to calculate x + y.

Now, (x + iy)(1 - 3i) = 10

⇒ x(1 - 3i) + iy(1 - 3i) = 10

⇒ x - 3xi + iy - 3yi² = 10

⇒ (x + 3y) + i(y - 3x) = 10

Now, comparing the real and imaginary part of both sides we get,

(x + 3y) = 10 ............. (1) and

y - 3x = 0

⇒ y = 3x ............... (2)

Solving equations (1) and (2) we get

x + 3(3x) = 10

⇒ x = 1

So, y = 3x = 3

Therefore, x + y = 1 + 3 = 4 (Answer)
