The length of a rectangle is five times its width. If the perimeter is at most 96 centimeters, what is the greatest possible val

Dvinal [7]

Let width be W

Then length = 5W

P=2L+2W

P< 96cm

Then the Perimeter of the rectangle is equal to

(2L+2W)< 96

2*(5W)+2W)≤96

Therefore, 2w+2⋅(5w)≤96

Line m passes through the points (5, 1) and (8, 6) while line n passes through the points (-4, 3) and (-1, 8). Which statement a

Find the equations of the lines...

First find the slope...(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)=m

m=(6-1)/(8-5)=5/3 and it passes through (5,1) so

y=mx+b becomes:

y=5x/3+b and using (5,1)

1=5(5)/3+b

1=25/3+b

3/3-25/3=b

b=-22/3 so

y1=(5x-22)/3

.... now y2...

m=(8-3)/(-1--4)=5/3 (note it has the same slope as y1...

y=5x/3+b and using the point (-1,8)

8=5(-1)/3+b

8=-5/3+b

24/3+5/3=b

b=29/3, now note that the y-intercept is different...

y2=(5x+29)/3

Since these lines have the same slope but different y-intercepts, they are parallel to each other. (and will never intersect.)

There are 25 questions on your math test. You have completed 5 questions so far. What fraction of the total questions do you sti

maksim [4K]

Answer:

$\frac{4}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

If you have completed $5$ questions, you still have $25-5=20$ more questions to answer. We need to find what fraction $20$ is of $25$ , if that makes sense. A fraction is simply a part over a whole. In this case, the part is $20$ and the whole is $25$ . Therefore, the fraction we are looking for is $\frac{20}{25}$ , which simplifies to $\frac{4}{5}$ . Hope this helps!
