<u>Answer</u>
The first student was right.
The length of the long side is at least 13 inches.
<u>Explanation</u>
The perimeter of any figure is the distance all round.
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(l+w). Where l is length and w is the width.
2(l + w) ≥ 30
2{(x-3) + 2} ≥ 30
2(x-3+2) = 30
2(x - 1) ≥ 30
x - 1 ≥ 15
x ≥ 16
When x = 16,
l = 16-3
= 13 inches
The length of the long side is 13 inches. The first student was right.
Answer:
7/10
Step-by-step explanation:
this is the simplest form
The entire shipment contains 9 2/7 tons of sugar
Step-by-step explanation:
- Step 1: Find the total amount of sugar in the entire shipment.
Number of containers in the shipment = 4 1/3 = 13/3
Number of tons of sugar = 2 1/7 = 15/7
⇒ Total amount of sugar = 13/3 × 15/7 = 65/7 = 9 2/7 tons
Answer: it will take 13.3 years
Step-by-step explanation:
We would apply the formula for determining compound interest which is expressed as
A = P(1+r/n)^nt
Where
A = total amount in the account at the end of t years
r represents the interest rate.
n represents the periodic interval at which it was compounded.
P represents the principal or initial amount deposited
From the information given,
P = 6000
A = 10000
r = 4% = 4/100 = 0.04
n = 12 because it was compounded 12 times in a year.
Therefore,.
10000 = 6000(1 + 0.04/12)^12 × t
10000/6000(1 + 0.0033)^12t
1.67 = 1.0033^12t
Taking log to base 10 of both sides, it becomes
Log 1.67 = 12tLog 1.0033
0.223 = 12t × 0.0014
0.223 = 0.0168t
t = 0.223/0.0168
t = 13.3 years
