You need to make a series of equations from what you are given first. I am going to use the first letter of each of the names to represent the length of that persons wire.
1/2s=2/5d
3c=s
s+d+c=6 ft

Okay. Now you can combine the first two equations knowing what s equals:
1/2(3c)=2/5d
d=15c/4

Now you have d=15c/4 and s=3c, so you can replace d and s in the third equation.

3c+15c/4+c=6

Then solve for c and plug it into the equation 3c=s to find the length of sarah's wire.

Peter tracks the goals he scores in 9 soccer games. In two games Peter scored 2 goals each, in one game he scored 0 goals, in tw
Reika [66]

The average number of goals per game Peter scores, rounded to one decimal place is 1.6

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>

In first two games Peter scored 2 goals each. So, total score in two games = (2×2)= 4

In one game he scored 0 goal and in next two games he scored 3 goals each, so the total is (3×2)= 6

In the last four games he scored 1 goal in each, so the total is (1×4)= 4

So, the total score in all 9 games =4+0+6+4=14

Thus, the average number of goals = \frac{14}{9}= 1.5555....

So, the average number of goals per game Peter scores, rounded to one decimal place is 1.6

A skateboard travels 55 feet in 4 seconds. Is the skateboard going faster, slower, or the same speed as the scooter?
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

Slower.

Step-by-step explanation:

I belive it is slower because the scooter was 30 feet per 2 seconds. 30+30+60 feet, 2+2= 4 seconds= 60 feet and 4 seconds which makes the 55 feet per 4 seconds slower.

Naddika [18.5K]

The letter "x" is often used in algebra to mean a value that is not yet known. It is called a "variable" or sometimes an "unknown". In x + 2 = 7, x is a variable, but we can work out its value if we try!
