Answer:

B) each piece has 1/8 of 3 feet ribbon

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The total length of the ribbon = 3 feet,

Total number of pieces of the ribbon = 8,

If each piece has the same length,

So, the length of each piece

$=\frac{\text{total length of the ribbon}}{\text{total pieces}}$

$=\frac{3}{8}$

= 1/8 of 3 feet

Hence, OPTION B is correct.

In The autumn 40% of the leaves on a tree are yellow and 24% of them are green the remaining 72 leaves are half yellow how many

Charra [1.4K]

Percentage of yellow leaves on a tree during Autumn = 40%

Percentage of green leaves on a tree during Autumn = 24%

Percentage of half yellow leaves on the tree during Autumn :

$= \tt100 - 40 + 24$

$= \tt 100 - 64$

$= \tt 36 \%$ Thus, the percentage of half yellow leaves on the tree during Autumn = 36%

Number of half yellow leaves on the tree = 36%

Let the total number of leaves on the tree be x.

Which means :

$= \tt36 \% \: of \: x = 72$

$= \tt \frac{36}{100} \times x = 72$

$= \tt \frac{36 \times x}{100} = 72$

$= \tt \frac{36x}{100} = 72$

$= \tt 36x = 72 \times 100$

$= \tt36x = 7200$

$= \tt x = \frac{7200}{36}$

$\color{plum} = \tt \: x = 200$

Thus, total number of leaves on the tree = 200

Number of yellow leaves on the tree :

$= \tt40 \% \: \: of \: \: 200$

$= \tt \frac{40}{100} \times 200$

$= \tt \frac{40 \times 200}{100}$

$= \tt \frac{8000}{100}$

$\color{plum} \tt = 80 \: yellow \: \: leaves$

Thus, total number of yellow leaves on the tree = 80

Number of green trees on the tree :

$= \tt24 \% \: \: of \: \: 200$

$= \tt \frac{24}{100} \times 200$

$= \tt \frac{24 \times 200}{100}$

$= \tt \frac{4800}{100}$

$\color{plum} = \tt 48 \: green \: \: leaves$

Thus, the total number of green leaves on the tree = 48

Since the sum of all types of leaves form 200[80+48+72=200], we can conclude that we have found out the correct number of each type of leaf.

▪︎Therefore, <em>the total number of leaves on the tree = 200</em>

A bag contains 20 counters. 8 of the counters are yellow. A counter is picked at random. What is the probability that it is yell

kogti [31]

So there are 8 counters out of 20 which are yellow. so that is 8/20 which is simplified to 2/5
so the answer is 2/5

Find the slope<br> 5x - 2y = 10<br><br> M=_______

Eva8 [605]

Answer:

Slope is 5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

5x-2y=10

subtract 5x from both sides

-2y=-5x+10

Then you divide -2 on both sides

y=5/2x-5

Which will result 5/2 as the slope

Area and Circumference of Circles

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Pi( $\pi$ ) is the ratio of circumference to diameter for any circle.

Perimeter is the distance around a circle.

Circumference of circle $C = \pi d$ .

Perimeter of circle $= 2 \pi r$

What is circle ?

A circle is a spherical shape without boundaries or edges.

A circle is a closed, curved object with two dimensions in geometry.

Consider two small arcs AB and CD of two circles of radii x and y units, both of which make an angle of measure θ at the centers P and Q respectively.

For smaller values of θ, the arc length AB is almost equal to the length of the line segment $\bar{AB}$ . Similarly, arc CD ≅ $\bar{CD}$ .

Using the SAS rule of triangle similarity, we can say that APB and CQD are similar triangles because their angles are the same and their ratios are AP: PB = CQ: QD = 1: 1. So, it stands to reason that AB: AP = CD: CQ.

Circumference = $\pi \times$ diameter or circumference = 2 $\pi \times$ radius if this constant equals some value.

So it was proved.
