<span>In industrial processes, or any other real life applications of mathemiatics, tolerances are kept to allow for errors in manufacturing of items. In this case, the conveyer belt's width is allowe to vary by 7/32 inch. This means that it may be greater than 50 by 7/32 inch or less than 50 by 7/32 inch. Therefore, the values of the conveyer belt's acceptable widths are: <u>50 + 7/32 = 50.2875 inches and 50 - 7/32 = 49.78125 inches</u></span>

x-----> the number of pounds of tomatoes Camilla bought

we know that

The equation that represent this situation is equal to

mary has 39 square feet of patio bricks. each square brick has sides 1 foot long. what is the greatest perimeter of a rectangle
bearhunter [10]

-- The smallest perimeter you can make with a certain area
is a circle.

-- The NEXT smallest perimeter with the same area is a square.

   With 1-ft by 1-ft square bricks, the shortest perimeter she could
make would be by using her bricks to make it as square as possible. 
Without cutting bricks into pieces, the best she could do would be  

                           (13 bricks) x (3 bricks) .

                            =    (13-ft) x (3-ft)

           Perimeter = (2 x length) + (2 x width)

                             = (2 x 13-ft)  +  (2 x 3-ft) 
                           
                             =      (26-ft)  +  (6-ft)  =  32 feet  <== shortest perimeter.

-- Then, the more UNSQUARE you make it, the more perimeter
it takes to enclose the same area.  That means Mary has to make
a rectangle as long and skinny as she can.

The longest perimeter she can make (without cutting bricks into
pieces) is    (39 bricks) x (1 brick) .

                        = (39-ft)  x  (1-ft) .

    Perimeter  =  (2 x length) + (2 x width)

                       =   (2 x 39-ft)  +  (2 x 1-ft)

                       =        (78-ft)  +  (2-ft)     =     80 feet .    

What she'll have then is a brick path, 39 feet long and 1 foot wide,
and when you walk on it, you'll need to try hard to avoid falling off
because it's only 1 foot wide.

Y=? What is Y? Please help me!
kumpel [21]
Answer:   y = 6 mi.  .
______________________________________________
Explanation:
______________________________________________
Area of a triangle = (½) * (base) * (height) ;

or,  A = (½) * b * h ;  or,  A = b*h / 2 ;
_____________________________________
Given:  A = 24.3 mi ² ;
           b = 8.1 mi 
___________________
Find the height, "h" ;  (in units of "miles", or , "mi" ).
__________________________
   Plug in the known values into the formula:

24.3 mi ² = (½) * (8.1 mi) *(h) ;
_____________________________
Solve for "h" (height) ;
_____________________________
(½) * (8.1 mi) = 4.05 mi  ;
______________________________
Rewrite: 
____________________________
24.3 mi² = (4.05 mi) *(h) ;  Solve for "h" ;
_________________________________________
 Divide each side of the equation by "(4.05 mi)" ; to isolate "h" on one side of the equation ; and to solve for "h" ; 
__________________________________________
   24.3 mi²  / 4.05 mi  = (4.05 mi) *(h)  / 4.05 mi ;
                                 
              →  6 mi  = h ;  ↔  h = 6 mi. 

              →      h = y = 6 mi.
