Answer:
56 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of the lengths of the pieces is 3:4.
The longer piece is 32 cm.
We set up a proportion to find the length of the smaller piece.
Let the length of the smaller piece be x.
3 is to 4 as x is to 32
3/4 = x/32
4x = 3 * 32
4x = 96
x = 24
The smaller piece is 24 cm.
24 cm + 32 cm = 56 cm
Answer:
y = -0.2x + 8
Step-by-step explanation:
To write a linear function, calculate the rate of change of the gallon of water leaving the tank and the starting level.
The function will describe the number of gallons over time or (time, gallons).
This means the function has data points (1, 7.8) and (9, 6.2).
Use the rate of change or slope formula to calculate it.
This means that for the formula y = mx+b then m = -0.2.
This also means that after losing 0.2 gallons the first hour it was at 7.8. So the starting value is 8 gallons.
The equation is y = -0.2 x + 8.
Answer:
1st question: M=22.62 while C=75.38
2nd question: M=.22 while C=1.97
Step-by-step explanation:
If a mirror costing x dollars is marked up 30%, then we have to find x such that 30%x+x is 98 dollars.
We are solving:
.3x+x=98
Combine like terms:
1.3x=98
Divide both sides by 1.3:
x=75.38
M=98-75.38=22.62
C=75.38
So M=22.62 while C=75.38.
If ream of paper cost x and is marked up 11%, then we have to find x such that 11%x+x is 2.19.
We are solving:
.11x+x=2.19
1.11x=2.19
x=1 97
M=2.19-1.97=.22
So M=.22 while C=1.97
