a piece of ribbon that is 2/3 of a yard long is to be cut into 1/12 yard pieces. How many pieces will there be?

Length of the original ribbon = 2/3 yard
Length of the ribbon in which the actual ribbon has to be cut = 1/12 yards
The above information's are already given in the question. It is required to find the number of pieces that the ribbon can be cut with the length that is already mentioned.
Then
Number of pieces that will be there = (2/3)/(1/12)
                                                         = (2 * 12)/3
                                                         = 24/3
                                                         = 8
So the actual ribbon can be cut into 8 pieces and each piece will have a length of 1/12 yards. Hopefully the procedure for doing this problem is clear to you. this is the easiest method for attempting these kind of problems.

Which statement is true about the reflectional symmetry of a regular heptagon? Check all that apply
Slav-nsk [51]

Answa line of symmetry will connect a vertex and a midpoint of an opposite side

it has 7-fold symmetry.  


Step-by-step explanation:

A line of symmetry is a line that we can use to "fold" a figure in half. In order to do this, we will "fold" the figure from a vertex to the middle of the side opposite the vertex. Since there are 7 vertices, there will be 7 lines of reflection. i looked it up so i hope this helps you can thank

Michael breeds chickens and ducks.
hodyreva [135]
Let c=cost of chicken and d=cost of duck; 50c+30d=550 and 44c+36d=532.
So 5c+3d=55, 11c+9d=133.
Therefore 15c+9d=165, subtracting 11c+9d=133 we get: 4c=32 so c=8.
5c+3d=40+3d=55, so 3d=15 and d=5.
Cost of chicken is $8 and cost of duck is $5.

A father is 32 years older than his son. In four years,
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

  • father: 36
  • son: 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s represent the son's age now. Then s+32 is the father's age. In 4 years, we have ...

  5(s+4) = (s+32)+4

  5s +20 = s +36 . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  4s = 16 . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract s+20

  s = 4

The son is now 4 years old; the father, 36.

_____

<em>Alternate solution</em>

In 4 years, the ratio of ages is ...

  father : son = 5 : 1

The difference of their ages at that time is 5-1 = 4 "ratio units". Since the difference in ages is 32 years, each ratio unit must stand for 32/4 = 8 years. That is, the future age ratio is ...

  father : son = 40 : 8

So, now (4 years earlier), the ages must be ...

  father: 36; son: 4.

1. Susan decides to take a job as a transcriptionist so that she can work part-time from
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

a)  About 46.3 hours

b) About $1036.80

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

Break even means to make enough to cover her costs.

Given her cost is 1000, we need to find how many hours she will need to cover this up.

In 1 minute, she can type 90 words, that would pay her:

0.004 per word for 90 words = 0.004 * 90 = $0.36 per minute

Susan makes $0.36 per minute, so the amount of time (in minutes) it will take her to make $1000, is:

1000/0.36 = 2777.78 minutes

Converting that to hours, we divide by 60,

2777.78/60 = 46.3 hours

b)

4 hours per day for 3 days = 4 * 3 = 12 hours (per week)

Let there be 4 weeks in a month, so

12 hours per week * 4 = 48 hours per month

She will work 48 hours per month.

Given 90 words per minute, in 1 hour, she can type:

60 minutes * 90 = 5400 words per hour

In 48 hours, she can type:

5400 words per hour * 48 hours = 259,200 words

That would pay her:

0.004 per word for 259,200 words = 0.004 * 259,200 = $1036.80
