a machine can reduce 21 inches of ribbon every 3 minutes. How many feet of ribbon can the machine make in one hour?

1 answer:

3 0

Okay. Let's make a proportion for this. So we can do 21/3=x/60. Let's multiply cross way. So 21 x 60 is 1260. We multiply 3 by x to get 3x. So our equation will be 3x=1260. We can isolate the equation by 3, and 1260 divided by 3 is 420. So x=420. We then have to convert into feet. So 420 divided by 12 is 35. So it would be 35 feet. Therefore, the machine can make 35feet of ribbon in a hour.

Whole numbers\greenD{\text{Whole numbers}}Whole numbersstart color greenD, W, h, o, l, e, space, n, u, m, b, e, r, s, end color greenD are numbers that do not need to be represented with a fraction or decimal. Also, whole numbers cannot be negative. In other words, whole numbers are the counting numbers and zero.Examples of whole numbers:4, 952, 0, 734,952,0,734, comma, 952, comma, 0, comma, 73Integers\blueD{\text{Integers}}Integersstart color blueD, I, n, t, e, g, e, r, s, end color blueD are whole numbers and their opposites.

Identify the number of solutions or zeros 2x^2+5x-9=0

There are going to be two solutions because the "biggest" x is x^2 but you can factor to find what they actually are.

The rays OM , ON , and OP in the figure, coincide at time t=0. At the same instant of time OM and OP rotate in the plane about p

Lilit [14]

OM and OP will coincide a second time after 120 seconds. You could visualize it as ray OP moving at 3 degrees/second relative to OM.
Using this visualization, we find that OM makes 30*60*3/360 rotations (minutes * 60 * rotational speed/360 degrees in a rotation), which is 15, and that OP makes 30*60*6/360 or 30 rotations, which is 15 more than OM.
