Answer: 1000 ft will not be enough.

Step-by-step explanation:

He needs 48 pieces of wire, and each piece of wire must be 22 feet long.

The math that he does is

50*20 instead of 48*22 because it may be easier to do:

But in the math of Todd, he adds two times the smallest number

50*20 = (48 + 2)(22 -2) = 48*22 + 2*22 - 2*48

where 48*22 is the exact number, and the other twos are the errors of the estimation, you can see that the amount that he underestimates (2*48) is bigger than the amount that he overestimates (2*22) so the result that he is obtaining in the multiplication 50*20 is smaller than the one that he actually needs, so 1000ft of cable will not be enough.

You also can do the multiplication: 48*22 = 1056 feet, wich is what he actually needs.

<h3>Answer:  112</h3>

=========================================================

Explanation:

The angle adjacent to the 146 degree angle is 180-146 = 34 degrees.

In other words, the angles 34 and 146 combine to 180. These angles are supplementary.

The tickmarks on this triangle tell us it is isosceles. The angles opposite the congruent sides are congruent angles. So the unmarked interior angles (not marked x) are 34 degrees each.

Now use the fact that any triangle has its interior angles always add to 180

x+34+34 = 180

x+68 = 180

x = 180-68

x = 112

Rasheed bought two kinds of candy bars, chocolate and toffee, that came in packages of 2 bars each. He handed out 2/3 of the cho
Contact [7]

Answer:

9 packages of chocolate bars

Step-by-step explanation:

Let he bought c packages of chocolate bars and t packages of toffee bars,

Since, he bought 1 fewer package of chocolate bars than toffee bars.

⇒ c = t - 1  -----(1)

Also, he handed out out \frac{2}{3} of the chocolate bars and \frac{3}{5} of the toffee bars,

If he handed out the same number of each kind of candy bar.

\implies \frac{2}{3}\times c=\frac{3}{5}\times t

10c = 9t     ( By cross multiplication )

\implies t=\frac{10}{9}c    ( Division property of equality )

From equation (1),

c=\frac{10}{9}c-1

1=\frac{10}{9}c-c

1=\frac{10c-9c}{9}

1=\frac{c}{9}

\implies c = 9

Hence, he bought 9 packages of chocolate bars.

-5t+3= -4<br> please answer this question<br> and show your work also
astraxan [27]

Answer:

t=7/5

Step-by-step explanation:

If you subtract 3 from each side, you end up with -5t=-7. In order to keep t isolated, you would have to divide -5 on both sides. When you do this, you will end up with t= -7/-5. You also need to simplify that. When simplified you end up with t=7/5. Hope this helps!
