The length of a string is L inches. Samantha cuts it into two unequal pieces such that the length of the small piece is 35% of L

.
If the length of the big piece is 24 inches longer than the length of the small piece, what is the ratio of the length of the small piece to the length of the big piece as a fraction in its lowest terms?

Answer:

The shorter piece   x  =  8.4 in

The longer one    y  =  15.6 in

Step-by-step explanation:

If we cut  a string length  L  in to unequal  pieces we get two pieces

first one with length  x  and the other one with length  y

Let call  x  the smaller piece,  then   y = L  -  x will be the longer one

If   x  =  35 %    then

x  =  0,35* L     and

y = L -  x  =  L - 0,35*L      ⇒  y  =  0,65 L     ⇒ y  =  0.65*24

Now if L  =  24  in

x  =  0,35*24          ⇒               x = 8.4 in

and

L  -  x  =  0.65*L      ⇒       L - x  =  0.65*24     y  =  L  -  x  =  15.6 in

as way of verification you can add the length of the two pieces and find:

8.4  +  15.6  = 24 in

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

$60,890  is the cost of  new truck.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Purchasing cost of truck =$55000.

Sales Tax=$4000

Painted logo cost = $1600

Safety testing cost =$290.

Then the Cost of truck can be determined by

= Purchase\  cost\  + \ Sales\  tax\ +\  painted \ logo\  cost\  +\  safety\  testing \ cost\\= 55,000+4000+1600+290\\= 60,890

A taxi charges $20 flat fee for the first 5 miles (even if it takes the rider one mile the cost is $20) and after that the addit
Free_Kalibri [48]
Ok so, we have the fact that 1.20 per mile Lets represent m as each additional mile so we have 1.20m which is That much per additional mile So For the first 5 functions we have f(1) = 20 f(2) = 20 f(3) = 20 f(4) = 20 f(5) = 20 Only for the first 5 miles though, since it is a flat fee. So for the additional miles we go back to what I said in the first Paragraph. 1.20m That is for additional miles, so that will be added to 20 So if you travel more than 5 miles the function looks like this: f(x) = 20 + 1.20m So the first 5 miles it is: f(x) = 20 For 7 mles the function would look like: f(7) = 20 + 1.20(2) It is a 2 because it is the additional mile, which is 2  hope this helps

Write and solve an equation based off the verbal phrase: 6 more than x is equal to 33
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

x + 6 = 33

Step-by-step explanation:

6 more than x means there's an increment in the value of x by addition of 6

x + 6 = 33

This leads to an algebraic linear equation. x is an unknown variable and can be solved for

we subtract 6 from both sides of the equation

x + 6 - 6 = 33 - 6

x = 27

Therefore, we can say 6 more than 27 is 33

Select the correct answer.<br> Which graph shows a function and its inverse?
labwork [276]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

If a function is bijective and 1-to-1, then it will have an inverse function. Consequentially, they will be symmetrical about the line y=x, which is a diagonal line passing through the origin at a 45 degree angle.

None of the graphs look correct though, but it also seems that some options are cut out, so make sure to choose the correct graph given the characteristics I've previously described.
