The dog pen is most likely a rectangle. Area of a rectangle = length * width
a) possible dimension
150 / 5 = 30 ; length = 30 ; width = 5
150 / 7.5 = 20 ; length = 20 ; width = 7.5
150 / 10 = 15 ; length = 15 ; width = 10
150/ 12.5 = 12 ; length = 12.5 ; width = 10

b) maximum amount of fence. Compute for the perimeter.
P = 2(30 + 5) = 2(35) = 70
P = 2(20 + 7.5) = 2(27.5) = 55
P = 2(15 + 10) = 2(35) = 70
P = 2(12.5 + 12) = 2(24.5) = 49

MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF FENCE REQUIRED IS 70 FEET.

c) either: 30 by 5 or 15 by 10 dimension.

Margie has 5 times as many nickels as quarters. She has a total of $2.00.
stich3 [128]

Answer:

<u>Part A: </u>

<u>n = 5q (1st equation)</u>

<u>0.05n + 0.25q = 2 (2nd equation)</u>

<u>Part B:</u>

<u>q = 4 ⇒ n = 5 * 4 = 20</u>

<u>Part C:</u>

<u>Margie has 20 nickels and 4 quarters, for a total of $ 2.00</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's recall that a nickel has a value of $ 0.05 and a quarter a value of $ 0.25.

Let n represent the number of nickels and q represent the number of quarters.

Part A:

Write a system of equations to represent the situation.

n = 5q (1st equation)

n * 0.05 + q * 0.25 = 2

0.05n + 0.25q = 2 (2nd equation)

Part B:

Replacing n in the 2nd equation to solve for q:

0.05n + 0.25q = 2

0.05 * 5q + 0.25q = 2

0.25q + 0.25q = 2

0.5q = 2

q = 2/0.5

<u>q = 4 ⇒ n = 5 * 4 = 20</u>

<u>Part C:</u>

<u>Margie has 20 nickels and 4 quarters, for a total of $ 2.00</u>

Danika signs up to work for 3 1/2 hours at the science fair. If each work shift is 3/4 hour, how many shifts will Danika work?
forsale [732]

namely, how many times does 3/4 go into 3½?  Let's firstly convert the mixed fraction to improper fraction.

\bf \stackrel{mixed}{3\frac{1}{2}}\implies \cfrac{3\cdot 2+1}{2}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{7}{2}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \cfrac{7}{2}\div \cfrac{3}{4}\implies \cfrac{7}{~~\begin{matrix} 2 \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}~~}\cdot \cfrac{\stackrel{2}{~~\begin{matrix} 4 \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}~~}}{3}\implies \cfrac{14}{3}\implies 4\frac{2}{3}

Expanded form just means to expand the number out. To change this in to expanded form you just need to do the following:-

1.000 + 0.0 + 0.07 + 0.005 = 1.075.

Hope I helped ya!!
