Answer:  The equation that represents this situation is -3x = 21. The second number is -7 (option C).

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, the correct option is C.

We have to analyze the information given to write the equation and corroborate the option chosen.

So:

first number = -3  

Product means the result of multiplication, in this case, the product is number 21.

Mathematically speaking:

-3x= 21

x = 21/-3

x = -7

In conlclusion, he equation that represents this situation is -3x = 21. The second number is -7 (option C).

Feel free to ask for more if it´s necessary or if you did not understand something.

Trevor has two fraction models, each divided into equal-sized sections. The
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

I will answer in a general way because the options are not given.

We know that the area of model A is smaller than the area of model B.

For model A, we have 72 shaded sections, out of 100.

Then the quotient of model A is:

72/100 = 0.72

For model B we have 10 sections, and x shaded ones.

Because model B is greater than model A, we know that:

x/10 should be larger than 72/100

then we have the inequality:

x/10 > 0.72

x > 0.72*10

x > 7.2

And we can not have more than 10 shaded sections (because there is a total of 10 sections) then:

10 ≥ x > 7.2

Then x can be any whole number in that interval.

the possible values of x are:

x = 8

x = 9

x = 10

Deisha can build a fence in 15 hours, and Travis can build a fence in 12 hours. How long will it take them together to build a f
Basile [38]

Answer:

6\frac{2}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Deisha's build rate = 1 fence per 15 hours = 1/15 fences per hour

Travis's build rate = 1 fence per 12 hours = 1/12 fences per hour

Working together, their combined rate is 1/15 + 1/12 = 3/20 fences per hour

So it takes them 20/3 = 6 2/3 hours per fence

A= π r2 and v=3.14d

---Volume(v=3.14d):

3.14(15) equals 47.1

47.1 rounds to 47

nearest hundreth would be 0 that rounds to .1 or .10,which rounds to 47
v=47

---Area(π r2)

3.14(7.5)^2 is 3.14(56.25)
176.625

176.625 rounded to the nearest hundreth is 176.630.

Answer:

The area of a circle with the diameter of 15 is 176.630.
