Answer:
Jim's current weight = 119 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
1 Stone = 14 pounds
stone = 1.5 stone
1.5 stone = 1.5 (14 pounds) = 21 pounds
Jim lost 21 pounds
Let X be Jim's Original Weight
Y be his present weight
As per given statement in the Question:
After losing 1.5 stones (21 pounds of weight) Jim now weighs Y
Present weight = original weight - 21
Y = X -21 <u> Equation 1</u>
Also Current Weight = 85 % (Original weight)
Y = 85 % (X) =
Y=
put in Equation 1
= X-21
85X = (X-21) 100
85 X = 100 X -2100
or
2100 = 100 X - 85X
2100 = 15X
or
15 X = 2100
X= 140 pounds ( Original Weight)
Current Weight = Y = Original weight - 21 <u><em>(From Equation 1)</em></u>
Y = X -21
Y = 140 -21
Y = 119 pounds (Current Weight)
Answer:
271 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
15.95+0.92 x=265.27
0.92 x=265.27-15.95
.92 x=249.32
x=24932/92=271
Answer:
Minimum 66 feet of molding that he needs.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that a square ceiling has a diagonal of 23 ft.
If the sides of the square ceiling are 'a' feet, then applying Pythagoras Theorem we can write, a² + a² = 23²
⇒ 2a² = 23²
⇒ a = 16.2634 feet (Approximate)
Now, the perimeter of the square ceiling will be 4a = 65.05 feet.
If the cost of molding along the perimeter of the ceiling is in per foot, then a minimum of 66 feet of molding that he needs. (Answer)
Answer:
Minimum - 8.1 inches
Maximum - 8.35 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
The specifications for manufacturing a steel rod stipulate that the length must be 8.225 ± 0.125 inches.
This means that the minimum length must not be 0.125 inches less than 8.225 inches and the maximum length must not be 0.125 inches greater than 8.225 inches.
The minimum length is therefore:
8.225 - 0.125 = 8.1 inches
The maximum length is therefore:
8.225 + 0.125 = 8.35 inches
