Let n be the number of minimum chimes needed.
$3500=$12n-$125x5
$4125=$12n
Answer:
4.52 x 10^-7
Step-by-step explanation:
you have a very small number (numbers to right of decimal) so you're exponent will be negative.
During Distributive property, the number on the outside of the parenthesis basically gets multiplied by the numbers inside the parenthesis. In this case, you would multiply 6 by 5 and 4. When you get the products, then follow the sign that comes next. In this case, you would add the products to get a total sum. I attached a photo for further reference.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The lengths can be found by considering their ratio:
short : long = 1 : 5
The sum of the ratio units is 1+5 = 6, and the sum of the lengths is 144 inches. That means each "ratio unit" stands for (144 in)/6 = 24 inches of length.
The lengths are ...
1 : 5 = 24 in : 120 in
The pieces are 24 inches and 120 inches in length.

Equivalently, you can let s represent the shorter length. Then 5s is the longer one, and their total is ...
s +5s = 144
s = 144/6 = 24
5s = 5(24) = 120
The lengths are 24 inches and 120 inches.
