The perimeter of a rectangle is - 2 x (length + breadth).
Also, 1 feet = 12 inches.
So, the dimensions of the tablecloth are 108 inches long by 72 inches wide. So, the total perimeter of the table cloth is --> 2 x (108 + 72) = 360 inches.
So, time taken for 1 tablecloth = 360 x 3 = 1080 minutes.
And, Time taken for 2 tablecloths = 1080 x 2 = 2160 minutes.
So, to complete her sewing project, Frances will take a total of 2160 minutes (36 hours).
Answer:
Thus, every integer is a rational number. Clearly, 3/2,-5/3, etc. are rational numbers but they are not integers. Hence, every integer is a rational number but a rational number need not be an integer.
Step-by-step explanation:
The first column is the ratio you start with. The next column in the table should be the reduced fraction. To properly reduce a fraction, you divide the same number on the top and bottom of the fraction. Melody instead subtracted 1 in the top and bottom of the fraction to reduce it. She should have divided the top and bottom by 2 to get the second column of 1 pound of turkey and 3 people served.
The final column is designed to be the answer to the initial question of how many people are fed by 15 pounds of ground turkey. Starting with column 2 (the reduced ratio of 1/3), multiply the top by 15 to get 15 pounds of ground turkey. Then do the same to the bottom of the fraction. 3 x 15 = 45 people fed.
So the table should have been
Pounds of turkey 2 1 15
People served 1 3 45
Melody's overriding error was in believing that adding or subtracting numbers to both the top and bottom of a ratio/fraction keep its value the same. Instead, only multiplying or dividing the top and bottom by the same number creates an equivalent fraction.
A) The signs of the first derivative (g') tell you the graph increases as you go left from x=4 and as you go right from x=-2. Since g(4) < g(-2), one absolute extreme is (4, g(4)) = (4, 1).
The sign of the first derivative changes at x=0, at which point the slope is undefined (the curve is vertical). The curve approaches +∞ at x=0 both from the left and from the right, so the other absolute extreme is (0, +∞).
b) The second derivative (g'') changes sign at x=2, so there is a point of inflection there.
c) There is a vertical asymptote at x=0 and a flat spot at x=2. The curve goes through the points (-2, 5) and (4, 1), is increasing to the left of x=0 and non-increasing to the right of x=0. The curve is concave upward on [-2, 0) and (0, 2) and concave downward on (2, 4]. A possible graph is shown, along with the first and second derivatives.
