Answer:

So, basically, you can do this:

500,001*14<6,550,000.

This works because there is one person that can have 0 hairs, 1 hair, 2 hair and so on until we reach 500,000 hairs. Then, there has to be a repeat. So, we can do this fourteen times. Then, we can see that there are at least 14 people with a certain amount of hairs.

The area of a rectangular wall of a barn is 192 sq. Ft. It's length is 8 ft. Longer than twice it's width. Find the length and w
Novay_Z [31]

Answer: length = 24 ft

Width = 8 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L represent the length of the barn.

Let W represent the width of the barn.

The area of a rectangular wall of a barn is 192 sq. Ft. This means that

LW = 192- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -1

It's length is 8 ft longer than twice it's width. This means that

L = 2W + 8

Substituting L = 2W + 8 into equation 1, it becomes

W(2W + 8) = 192

2W² + 8W = 192

2W² + 8W - 192 = 0

Dividing through by 2, it becomes

W² + 4W - 96 = 0

W² + 12W - 8W - 96 = 0

W(W + 12) - 8(W + 12) = 0

(W - 8)(W + 12) = 0

W = 8 or W = - 12

Since the width cannot be negative, then W = 8

L = 192/W = 192/8

L = 24

Analyze is the product of 0.4×1.8 greater than or less than 0.4?please explain to me
AnnZ [28]
Remember that multiplying is how many times you add a number to itself. If you multiply by 3, you add the first number to itself 3 times.

When you multiply a given number by 1, you get the first number (it doesn't change).

When you multiply by a number less than one, say, one half, you'll end up with half of the original number --> a smaller number.

When you multiply a number by more than one, you will get a number bigger than the original because you are adding it to itself more than once. Even if it is a fraction or decimal, if it is greater than 1, then the new product will be larger than the original number.

Hope this helps! :)
