Answer: 120 pieces.


Step-by-step explanation:

We know that 1 yard = 36 inches

Given: The length of each piece of ribbon= 25 yards=25\times36=900\text{ inches}

If she needs to cut 22 inches long pieces, then the total number of pieces cut from 1 ribbon=\frac{900}{22}=40.0909\approx40\text{ pieces}

Thus, the total number of pieces she cut from 3 ribbons=3\times40=120\text{ pieces}

Hence, the greatest number of 22-inch pieces that she can cut from the three ribbons =120

Well 1 yard is 36 inches so 25 yards is 900 and then divide the 900 by 22 which equals 40.9090 but you have to put this down to 40 and because you have 3 ribbons it's 40 x 3 = 120!

Translate the following verbal statement into an algebraic expression. Use x for your variable.
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

<u>x²/11 + 8</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

We can decipher this algebraic expression going step by step.

1) "Eight more", meaning +8 (we can add this on later).

2) The "quotient of a number (x) squared and eleven", a quotient by definition means the answer to a quantity divided by another. The quantity in this case being x² divided by 11 (so, x²/11).

3) We can combine both of these, getting x²/11 + 8.

Your expression is x²/11 + 8.

- Similarly, you could reposition this equation like 8 + x²/11 (due to the communicative property of addition). Both answers would be acceptable.
