Answer:

She has 36 inches ribbon and she needs 33 inches for 22 students so she have enough for her class.

Step-by-step explanation:

1 feet = 12 inches or 30.48 cm.

Ms. Leverenz has 3 foot piece of ribbon for an art project.

3 foot = 12 × 3 = 36 inches

she gives each student an eighth of a foot

That is 8/12 inches = 1.5 inches to each student.

Ms. Leverenz gives each student 1.5 inches of ribbon.

Therefore she needs for 22 students

= 22 × 1.5 = 33 inches

She has 3 foot ribbon or 36 inches, so she have enough for her class of 22 students.

Yes, she will.

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

<u>Given:</u>

Ms. Leverenz is doing an art project with her class.

  • She has a 3-foot piece of ribbon.
  • She gives each student an eighth of a foot of ribbon.

<u>Question:</u>

Will she have enough for her class of 22 students?

<u>The Process:</u>

\boxed{ \ An \ eighth \ is \ \frac{1}{8} \ or \ equal \ to \ \frac{1 \times 125}{8 \times 125} = \frac{125}{1,000} = 0.125 \ }

Let us draw a diagram that connects between she gives each student an eighth of a foot of ribbon with 22 students in her class.

\boxed{ \ \frac{1}{8} \ }\boxed{ \ \frac{1}{8} \ }\boxed{ \ \frac{1}{8} \ } \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \boxed{ \ \frac{1}{8} \ }\boxed{ \ \frac{1}{8} \ } \\\boxed{1^{st}} \boxed{2^{nd}} \boxed{3^{rd}}  \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \boxed{21^{st}}\boxed{22^{nd}} \ student

From the diagram above, let us calculate how long (in ft) the ribbon she has given to 22 students.

\boxed{ \ \frac{1}{8} \times 22 = ? \ }

\boxed{ \ = \frac{22}{8} \ }

\boxed{ \ = \frac{16}{8} + \frac{7}{8} \ }

\boxed{ \ = 2 + \frac{7}{8} \ }

\boxed{\boxed{ \ = 2\frac{7}{8} \ }}

Therefore, there are 2\frac{7}{8}-foot piece of ribbon that she has given.

Ms. Leverenz has a 3-foot piece of ribbon.

\boxed{ \ 2\frac{7}{8} < 3 \ }

Thus, because the total number of pieces of ribbon given is smaller than the initial length, she will have enough for her class of 22 students

Answer:

x = 9.7

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a triangle is A = b * h / 2 where A, b, and h are the area, base and height respectively. We know that A, b, and h equal 47, x, and x respectively so we can write:

47 = x * x / 2

47 = x² / 2

94 = x²

x = ±√94

In context, x can't be negative so the answer is x = √94 = 9.7.

If the diameter of sphere B is 42, that means the radius is half, so it is 21.

The question is asking what multiplied by 24 is 21, or 21 divided by 24. 21/24 can be simplified to 7/8.
