Answer:

63 feet long and 10.5 feet wide

Step-by-step explanation:

147 is the maximum amount of fencing, which means that this is dealing with perimeter.

So we set up our equation:

6x + 6x + x + x ≤ 147

(x being the width, and 6x being the length, which is 6 times the width)

this simplifies to:

14x ≤ 147

simplify:

x ≤ 10.5

So the width of the fencing is 10.5 feet long, meaning that the length is 63 feet long.

Check answers:

6(10.5) + 6(10.5) + 10.5 + 10.5 = 147

63 + 63 + 21 = 147

126 + 21 = 147

147 = 147

It works, so that is the solution.

Hope this helped :)

Answer:

length = 63 ft; width = 10.5 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width be x.

The length is 6 times the width, so the length is 6x.

The perimeter is the sum of 2 lengths and 2 widths.

6x + 6x + x + x

The perimeter equals 147 ft.

6x + 6x + x + x = 147

14x = 147

x = 10.5

The width is 10.5 ft.

The length is 6x, so the length is 6 * 10.5 ft = 63 ft

Matteo is adjusting a satellite because he finds it is not focusing the incoming radio waves perfectly. The shape of his satelli
natka813 [3]

Answer: (1.5, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The shape of his satellite can be modeled by y^2=6x where x and y are modeled in inches.

Now,the given equation y^2=6x is a equation of parabola.

Here, coefficient of x is positive, hence the parabola opens rightwards.

On comparing this equation with standard equation x^2=4mx, we get

4m=6\\\Rightarrow\ m=\frac{6}{4}=1.5

In standard equation, coordinates of focus=(m,0)

Thus for given equation coordinates of focus=(1.5,0)

The assembly of a machine takes 3/4 hour there are 12 steps in the assembly process what is the average time for each step
S_A_V [24]
We can solve this two different ways. I'll do both, and you choose which one makes the most sense:
We can divide the fraction 3/4 by 12. remember, when we divide fractions, we flip the second fraction and change the sign to multiplication:
3/4 ÷12     [starting equation]
3/4 x 1/12  [flip and change sign]
3/48    [now reduce]
1/16 Each step takes 1/16 of an hour. 
1/16 x 60 = 3 3/4, or 3.75 minutes

Second way:
3/4 of an hour is 3/4 of 60...45 minutes.
Still, we divide out:
45 ÷ 12   [starting equation]
3 9/12    [divide with remainder]
3 3/4 minutes...3.75 minutes
