Answer:

2, 4, 10 in

Step-by-step explanation:

The first piece is x thus the second piece is 2x ( twice as long as first ) and

the third piece is 5x ( five times as long as the first )

Add the 3 together and equate to 16

x + 2x + 5x = 16, that is

8x = 16 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 2

Thus

first piece = x = 2 in

second piece = 2x = 2 × 2 = 4 in

third piece = 5x = 5 × 2 = 10 in

A penny, nickel, and dime are simultaneously flipped. What is the probability that heads are showing on at least 6 cents worth o
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of possible outcomes after flipping 3 coins is $2 \times 2 \times 2 = 8$. If the dime isn't heads, we need both the penny and nickel to be heads. If the dime is heads, the other two could be anything. So there are a total of $1+(2 \times 2)=5$ ways for us to get at least 6 cents. The answer is $\boxed{\dfrac58}.$

Angles Q & R are supplementary. If angle Q=4x+9 & R=8x+3, what is the measure of each angle?
Romashka [77]
4x+9+8x+3=180
12x+12=180
12x=180-12
12x=168
x=168/12
x=14

1. Q= 4x+9
          4(14) +9
         56+9
    Q= 65
2. R= 8x+3
         8(14) +3
       112+3
    R= 115
