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]

<u>ANSWER: </u>

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 $\frac{25 x}{3} \text { feet }$

<u>SOLUTION: </u>

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 $\frac{25 x}{3} \text { feet }$

Answer:

Angle A is 118°

Step-by-step explanation:

All angles in a circle add up to 180, so this means that all the measurements of the three angles add to 180:

x + 2x + 13 + x - 8 = 180

Clean it up:

3x + x + x + 13 -8

5x -5 = 180

To isolate the 5x, you need to move the +5 over to the other side, making it a negative 5:

5x = 180 - 5

5x = 175

Now divide each side by 5 to get the value of 1x:

$\frac{5x}{5} = \frac{175}{5}$

x = 35

So angle A is:

3x + 13

3(35) + 13 = 118

<h3>So angle A is 118°</h3>
<h2>Hope this helps!</h2>

Consider the functions f(x) = -2(x-3)² + 2 which is represented by the graph

ehidna [41]

The intervals of the function on the graph are:

Domain = (-∝, ∝)
Range = (-∝, 2]
Increases (-∝, 3]
Decreases [3, ∝)

<h3>The key features of the function?</h3>

The function is given as:

f(x) = -2(x-3)² + 2

See attachment for the graph.

From the graph, we have;

Domain = (-∝, ∝)

Because it takes all real values as its input

Range = (-∝, 2]

Because it has a vertex of (3, 2) and the vertex is a maximum

Also, it increases on the interval (-∝, 3] and decreases on the interval [3, ∝)

A triangle has two sides of length 19 and 15. What is the largest possible whole-number length for the third side?

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer: 33

To maximize the length of the third side, which I'll call x, it needs to be the longest side.

So by the triangle inequality theorem, 19+15>x, meaning the maximum whole number value of x is 33.
