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

Which is f(5) for the function -2x2 + 2x - 3?
Schach [20]

The value of f(5) is -37

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

<em><u>Given function is:</u></em>

f(x) = -2x^2+2x+3

We have to find the value of f(5)

To find the value of f(5), we have to substitute x is equal to 5 in given function

Plug in x = 5 in f(x)

f(x) = -2x^2+2x+3\\\\f(5) = -2(5)^2+2(5) + 3\\\\\text{Simplify the above expression }\\\\f(5) = -2(25) + 10 + 3\\\\\text{Solve the above expression }\\\\f(5) = -50 + 10 + 3\\\\f(5) = -40 + 3 = -37

Thus value of f(5) is -37
