Answer:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

14 / x = 1 / 2

14 / x = 0.5

14 = x(0.5)

14 / 0.5 = x

7 = x

20 feet of ribbon, cutting ribbon into 7 1/2 inches or 6 3/4 inch lengths to make bracelets. Write an algebraic expression that

IRINA_888 [86]

ANSWER:

The algebraic expression for number of ribbons is $\frac{20 \text { feet }-\left\{\frac{20 \text { feet }}{x}\right\}}{x}$ and the algebraic expression for length of ribbon is $\frac{25 x}{3} \text { feet }$

SOLUTION:

Given, 20 feet of ribbon, cutting ribbon into $7\frac{1}{2}$ inches or $6\frac{3}{4}$ inch lengths to make bracelets.

Let us convert the mixed fraction to improper fractions.

$7 \frac{1}{2}=\frac{7 \times 2+1}{2}=\frac{15}{2} \text { and } 6 \frac{3}{4}=\frac{6 \times 4+3}{4}=\frac{27}{4}$

Let, the length of bracelets can be made be “x”

First we have to remove the excess length of ribbon and then we have to divide the remaining with length of bracelet we want.

$\text { number of ribbons }=\frac{\text { length of ribbon-excess ribbon.}}{\text {length of bracelet}}$

$\left.=\frac{20 \text { feet }-\left\{\frac{20 \text { feep }}{x}\right.}{x} \text { [we know that, }\{x\} \text { is fractional part of } x\right$ ]

So, the algebraic expression for number of ribbons is $\frac{20 \text { feet }-\left\{\frac{20 \text { feet }}{x}\right\}}{x}$

Now, let us find the algebraic expression for feet of ribbon to make 100 ribbons.

We have 100 bracelets of length x, then total length = 100 × x

length of ribbon = 100x inches

$\begin{array}{l}{=100 \mathrm{x} \times \frac{1}{12} \text { feet }} \\\\ {=\frac{25 x}{3} \text { feet }}\end{array}$

So, the algebraic expression for length of ribbon is $\frac{25 x}{3} \text { feet }$

Hence, the algebraic expression for number of ribbons is $\frac{20 \text { feet }-\left\{\frac{20 \text { feet }}{x}\right\}}{x}$ and the algebraic expression for length of ribbon is $\frac{25 x}{3} \text { feet }$

. Ramu took a loan of 50000 rupees from a bank which charges 10% interest, compounded an- nually. He repaid 10000 rupees after o

Setler79 [48]

Answer:

= 30,550 rupee owed

Step-by-step explanation:

yr1 = 50000 x 0.10^1 = 5000

5000 - 10000 = 5000 credit from debt.

yr 2 = 50000 x 1.10^2 = 500 debit from debt = 5000-15000= 10,000 credit from debt

yr 3 = 50000 x 1.10^3 = 50 debit from debt

5000 + 500 = 15000 where 50,000 owed initially and yr1 and yr 2 paid in full interest of 5500 and we deduct this from his payment = 25000-5500 =

19500 paid of initial and nothing owed on interest.

50000-19500= 30,500 rupees owed + 50 rupee interest.

= 30,550 rupee owed

Select the choice that translates the following verbal phrase correctly to algebra:

likoan [24]

The answer is one halfn − 16

Let the number be n.

One half of a number is (1/2n)
decreased by 16 is (-16)

one half of a number decreased by 16 is
1/2n - 16

Or one halfn − 16
