"31-inch piece of steel is cut into three pieces"

Call the pieces a,b,c

a + b + c = 31

"second piece is twice as long as the first piece"

b = 2a

"third piece is one inch more than seven times the length of the first piece"

c = 1 + 7a

Ok, we have our equations, let's substitute the second and third into the first.

a + 2a + 1 + 7a = 31

10a + 1 = 31

10a = 30

a = 30/10 = 3

b = 2a = 6

c = 1 + 7a = 22

Check: 3 + 6 + 22 = 31, good

Answer: 3 inches, 6 inches, 22 inches

The amount of water dispensed by a water dispenser is normally distributed,
Contact [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is - C.  11.45 ounces to 11.75 ounces.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the empirical rule of the distribution for 68% falls under the normal curve falls within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

That is:

μ±δ

From the given information, the mean is

μ = 11.60

and the standard deviation is

δ = 0.15

We substitute the given parameters to obtain;

11.60±0.15

11.75 and 11.45

This means the lower limit is

11.45

and the upper limit is

11.75

if the morning temperature started at -7 celsius but warmed during the day to 24 celsius . What is the temperature change
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

31° change

Step-by-step explanation:

If we want to find the change between two numbers, we need to imagine it like a number line.

<-------------0------------->

Let's plot -7 and 24 on this number line.

<-----------7--0------------24>

If we want to get from -7 to 0, we increase by 7. To get from 0 to 24, we increase by 24.

So the total change is 7 + 24 = 31.

Hope this helped!

Which of the following could be the ratio between the lengths of the two legs of a 30-60-90 triangle?
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:c

options A  and B

Step-by-step explanation:

the ratio between the lengths of the two legs of a 30-60-90 triangle

General ration of 30-6- 90 degrees triangle is

x : xsqrt(3) : 2x

When x=1 the ratio becomes 1 : 1 sqrt(3)

when x= 2sqrt(3) the ratio becomes

It becomes

Two sides of 30-60-90 triangle cannot be equal

so option c  and option D are not possible

sqrt(2) is also not possible  because we have sqrt(3) in general ratio
