Answer:

Option A - 342 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Janice puts a fence around her rectangular garden. The garden has a length that is 9 feet less than 3 times its width.

To find : What is the perimeter of Janice fence if the area of her garden is 5,670 square feet?

Solution :

Let the width of the garden be w=x feet.

The garden has a length that is 9 feet less than 3 times its width.

The length of the garden be l=3x-9 feet

The area of the garden is A=5670 square feet.

The formula of area of garden is A=l\times w

5670=(3x-9)\times x

5670=3x^2-9x

3x^2-9x-5670=0

x^2-3x-1890=0

x^2-45x+42x-1890=0

x(x-45)+42(x-45)=0

(x-45)(x+42)=0

x=45,-42

Reject x=-42 as measurement cannot be negative.

The width of the garden is w=45 feet.

The length of the garden is l=3(45)-9=135-9=126 feet.

The perimeter of the garden is P=2(l+w)

P=2(126+45)

P=2(171)

P=342

The perimeter of Janice fence is 342 feet.

Therefore, Option A is correct.

Verizon [17]

Answer:

Mrs. Cabrini has a total of 2 1/8 quarts of tomato sauce.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Mrs. Cabrini needs 2 quarts of tomato sauce to make a large batch of her spaghetti sauce. she has 1 1/4 quarts of her own, and she borrows 1/2 quart from the neighbor across the hall and 3/8 quart from the neighbor next door, to determine how many quarts does she have in all of her own must perform the following calculation:

1/4 = 0.25

1/2 = 0.5

3/8 = 0.375

0.25 + 0.5 + 0.375 = X

1.125 = X

1 + 1,125 = 2,125

Therefore, Mrs. Cabrini has a total of 2 1/8 quarts of tomato sauce.

rosijanka [135]

We are given a diagram with different rays and lines.

Note: A line can be extend more and more upto infinitely length from both of the ends but a ray can be extend from from end only.

We need to find the rays for the line BE.

We can see BE line has a point A in between line.

So, we can name the rays formed with end point A as AB and AE.

<h3>Therefore,  AB and AE rays are part of line BE.</h3><h3>So, the correct option is 2nd option :</h3><h3>AB and AE.</h3>

In the spinner below the large wedges are twice the size of the smaller ones. What is true about the probability of landing on 6
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

If we take each small section to be "1" unit, we can say the large sections (for "2" and "5") are "2" units each. So in total there will be 8 sections.

Since 5 is "2" sections, we can say:

P(5) = 2/8 = 1/4

And 6 is "1" section, so we can say:

P(6) = 1/8

Definitely, Probability of landing a 6 is HALF that of probability of landing a 5. Also we can see this is the picture.

So, from the answer choices, A is right.
