Mathematics

Answer:

The length of the shorter piece = 3 ft

The length of the longer piece = 10 ft  

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question;

  • Total length of the string is 13 ft
  • Longer piece is 4ft longer than twice the shorter piece;

Therefore;

  • Assuming the shorter piece is x ft
  • Then, the longer piece will be (2x + 4) ft

Thus;

Longer piece + shorter piece = 13 ft

x ft + (2x + 4) ft = 13 ft

3x + 4 = 13

3x = 9

 x = 3 ft  and

2x + 4 = 10 ft

Therefore;

The length of the shorter piece = 3 ft

The length of the longer piece = 10 ft

Under which condition does a country with a small GDP have a large per capita income? if it has a large population if it has a s
ratelena [41]
Per capita means per head or per person.

now, if a country has a small GDP hmmm say for the sake of example, $1000, and it has 1000 residents, then the per capita is $1000/1000 or a buck each.

now, $1000 is a really tiny GDP, but, if the population is say hmm 20 folks only, then the per capita amount is $1000/20, or $50 per person, now, that's a large "per capita" figure, more so than $1 per person, even though the GDP never changed, it was all along $1000.

so, if the population is comparitively small, the per capita is large, I think a good example of that is Switzerland.

sidenote:

bear in mind that per capita figures are very misleading, since you could have a tiny portion of the population making huge amounts and others making little, like in the US, and the per capita is very inaccurate to reflect the economy wealth distribution.

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{8}{11}(n-10)=64\\\\\frac{8(x-10)}{11}=64\\ 8(x-10) = 64(11)\\8(x-10) = 704\\8x-80 = 704\\8x= 704+80\\8x=784\\\\\frac{8x}{8}=\frac{784}{8}  \\x=98

elena55 [62]

Answer:

500 milligrams (mg)

Step-by-step explanation:

1 Gram (g) is equal to 1000 milligrams (mg). To convert grams to milligrams, multiply the gram value by 1000. For example, to convert 2 grams to mg, multiply 2 by 1000, that makes 2000 mg is 2 grams.
