Eight times the difference of a number and seventeen is thirty"?

1 answer:

5 0

"The number" is first, do an example, to find out how, like pick any number under 17. Let's do 14. Their difference is 3. 8*3=24. that;s not quite 30. We have to find a number to equal 30, let's pick 15 and 17. Their difference is 2. 2*8=16. Not quite. Now, check the multiplication table for 8. Do any of them equal 30? No. So now you can see that the answer is going to have a decimal place. Divide 30 by 8. That equals to 3.75. Now do 17 minus 3.75. That is 13.25. The difference between 13.25 and 17 is 3.25. Now, do 8*3.75. That is 26. Oops. I am not in high school, but keep going like that and YOU'LL FIND IT! I BELIEVE IN YOU!

On Tuesday morning, the temperature is -5º F. The temperature rises 3 4 degree each hour for 6 hours before dropping 1 4 degree

Mice21 [21]

Answer:

The temperature in degrees after 9 hours is -1.25 degrees Fahrenheit

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to know the temperature after 9 hours

Per hour rise each hour is 3/4 degree = 0.75 degree

In 6 hours that will be 0.75 * 6 = 4.5 degrees

Or hour drop is 1/4 = 0.25 degree

In 3 hours, that will be 0.25 * 3 = 0.75 degree

Since it is a drop, we have -0.75 degree

Temperature after 9 hours will be;

-5 + 4.5 -0.75

= -5.75 + 4.5 = -1.25 degrees fahrenheit

You need to cover the playground of a child development center with mulch. the playground is 125 feet long and 60 feet wide. you

kirill [66]

The answer is 139 cubic yards

This mulch will be of cylindrical shape.
The volume (V) of a cylinder is:
V = l · w · h (l - length, w - width, h - height (in our example, height = depth)

It is known:
l = 125 feet
w = 60 feet
h = 6 inches = 0.5 feet

V = l · w · h = 125 · 60 · 0.5 = 3750 feet³

Since 1 cubic foot is 0.037 cubic yards, 3750 cubic feet are 139 cubic yards:
0.037 · 3750 feet³ = 138.75 cubic yards ≈ 139 cubic yards
