STEP 1:
Divide the length of the ribbon by the size of the pieces.

12 inches= 1 foot

= 9 ft ÷ 15 inch pieces
convert ft to inches
= (12)(9) ÷ 15
= 108 ÷ 15
= 7.2 pieces from one roll

STEP 2:
multiply the number of pieces that can be cut from one roll by the number of rolls

= 7.2 pieces * 5 rolls
= 36 pieces total from 5 rolls

ANSWER: The greatest number of 15-inch pieces that can be cut from five 9-foot rolls is 36.

Hope this helps! :)

a businesswoman sells a bag for $52.32, thereby making a profit of 9% on the cost of her. calculate the selling price the busine
Veronika [31]

Answer: $57.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A businesswoman sells a bag for $52.32.

Let cuurent selling price : SP = $52.32

As they are making 9% profit now.

That means SP= Cp +0.09 CP , where Cp is the cost price of bag.

i..e 52.32=Cp(1+0.09) \ \text{[Substituted value of SP in LHS and taking Cp common outside in RHS]}

\Rightarrow\ 52.32=Cp(1.09)\Rightarrow\ CP=\dfrac{52.32}{1.09}=48

i..e Cost price of bag = 48

Selling price to gain 20% profit = Cp+0.20CP

= CP(1+0.20)

=48 (1.20)

= 57.6

Hence, the  selling price the businesswoman should ask in order to make 20% profit​ = $57.6

Find a counterexample: Two sides of a
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer: Any isosceles triangle is a counter example. More specifically, a triangle with sides 7, 7 and 3

When forming your triangle, make sure you apply the triangle inequality theorem. This is the idea where adding any two sides leads to a result larger than the third side. So we have

7+7 = 14 which is larger than 3

7+3 = 10 which is larger than 7

By definition, an isosceles triangle has two congruent sides. Some books say "at least 2 congruent sides", but I'll go with the first definition. If you want all three sides to be congruent, then you'd go for the term "equilateral".

Find two additional roots of P(x)=0.<br><br> 13+sqrt 3 and 7i
vova2212 [387]
So, x = 13, x = √3 and x =7i.

now, recall that for an EVEN radical, there are two possible roots, namely is say √3 is say hmmm some value "a", that means that a*a = √3, however, -a*-a is also √3, therefore, ±√3 are two valid values, and therefore -√3 is another one.

now.... keep in mind that, complex solutions or roots, never come all by their lonesome, their sister is always with them, the conjugate, so, for 7i or namely 0 + 7i, her sister is always around, 0 - 7i, which is the other root.
