Answer:
b
Step-by-step explanation:
Okay, I think I understand this. Our first step is to solve how long the string is after he used some of it to tie the package. I have a feeling we have to subtract 7/8 - 1/5. Find a least common multiple (in this case, it's 40) and our new fractions are 35/40 and 8/45. Subtract:
35/40 - 8/40 = 27/40.
I don't think this can be simplified down any further as they do not have any common factors. So with that in mind, let's divide 27/40 with 5/1 (5/1 is basically 5 wholes but in fraction version)
When dividing fractions, you want to use the KCF technique (my old math teacher taught me this). Keep the first fraction the same (in this case, 27/40), change the sign from multiplication to division, and flip 5/1 to get it's reciprocal, 1/5. The equation will look like this:
27/40 * 1/5 = 27/200
So each piece is about 27/200 m in length (or 0.135 m in length).
If this is wrong, please let me know, but this is what I got out of this question. I hope this helped you :)
- 15
- about 94.25
- about 706.86
Lmk if you want to know how I got the answers
Answer: x + 9x + (9x - 7)
Simplified: 19x - 7
Step-by-step explanation: We see that Abby already starts off with x dolls. We put a 9 infront of the x for the second part of the expression because Lauren has 9 times as many dolls as Abby. Since Betsy has 7 less than Lauren, we take away 7 from 9x. We put that part in parenthesis because that part needs to be done first before we add everything together. Once simplified, we have "19x - 7". (I really tried my best so I hope this is the correct answer!)
Answer:
P(t) = 282.2(1.009)^t
Step-by-step explanation:
Look at the attached image.
Hope you can read my handwriting. the image cut off the right side, b = 1.009213324... but question asks to round to nearest thousandth so it's 1.009
For the second part just use the equation to find P when t = -1 and see if P is less than (underpredicts) the number from the question or greater than (overpredicts) the number. I haven't calculated it but I think it will be smaller and thus underpredicts just from looking at the numbers when t = -1
