Answer:

$2.24 / lb

Step-by-step explanation:

$1 = 100 cents

16 oz = 1 lb

14 cents/oz *\frac{1 dollar}{100 cents}*\frac{16oz}{1lb}

Simplified,

\frac{14 *16}{100}

\frac{224}{100} = $2.24/ lb

<h3>The answer that goes in the blank is 2.24     </h3>

==================================================

Explanation:

There are various was to do this. One way is using what some math books may call the "rail road tracks method". If you look below at the attached image (specifically figure 1), you'll probably see why the method is called this. The black straight lines form a "railroad" track of sort

The first column has "14 cents" over "1 ounce" to represent "14 cents per ounce".

The next column over has "16 ounces" over "1 pound". This is used to help convert from ounces to pounds. Recall that 1 pound = 16 ounces.

Finally, the last column has "1 dollar" over "100 cents", which is handy to convert from cents to dollars.

Figure 1 of the attached image is the original setup. Figure 2 is where I've crossed off the units that cancel out. What's left over are "dollars" over "pounds" which is what we want of having "dollars per pound" as the final unit.

--------------

Across the top row, multiply the values out: 14*16*1 = 224

Do the same for the bottom row: 1*1*100 = 100

Then divide the two results: 224/100 = 2.24

--------------

Therefore, 14 cents per ounce converts to 2.24 dollars per pound.

Which of the following is a solution of x2 + 2x + 4?
kifflom [539]

Answer:

−1 + i times the square root of 3

is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is a quadratic equation in x

x^2+2x+4\\= x^2+2x+1+3\\=(x+1)^2+3

using completion of squares method

Equate to 0

(x+1)^2+3 =0\\(x+1)^2 = -3\\

Take square root

(x+1) = \sqrt{-3} =±i\sqrt{3}

Subtract one from both sides

x = [/tex]-1±i\sqrt{3}[/tex]

The last option namely

−1 + i times the square root of 3 only matches with our answre

Hence last option is right.

The function V= √1.223w expresses the landing speed, V (in feet per second), as a function of gross weight, w (in pounds), of an
mylen [45]
<span>an equation that expresses the gross weight of an aircraft as a function of its landing speed will be given as follows:
</span><span> V= √1.223w
we make w the subject of the equation, we start by dividing both squaring both sides:
</span>V²=(√1.223w)²
V²=1.223w
next we divide both sides by 1.223 to get :
V²/1.223=1.223w/1.223
w=V²/1.223
hence the answer will be w=V²/1.223

What is m∠Q ?
ddd [48]
Unlike the previous problem, this one requires application of the Law of Cosines.  You want to find angle Q when you know the lengths of all 3 sides of the triangle.

Law of Cosines:  a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2bc cos A

Applying that here:

                           40^2 = 32^2 + 64^2 - 2(32)(64)cos Q

Do the math.  Solve for cos Q, and then find Q in degrees and Q in radians.
