Two feet is what percent of a yard? And please explain how I find the answer

1 answer:

4 0

Percent means parts out of 100
x%=x/100

1 yard=3 feet
2 feet is what percent of 3 feet?
2=x% times 3
2=x/100 times 3
2=3x/100
multiply both sides by 100
200=3x
divide both sides by 3
66.6666666=x
answer is 66.66666%

A charity sent out 700 fundraising letters and received 210 contributions in response. What was the percent of response?

Pavlova-9 [17]

To find the answer, you have to make a proportion. 210 out of 700, or 210/700 is equal to x/100. So, 210/700=x/100. Then to solve the proportion, you must cross multiply. 210 times 100 is 21,000. Then, you must divide 21,000 by 700, which is 30. The 30 represents 30/100, which is 30%
The answer is 30%.

What is the area of the given figure?

kirza4 [7]

$\huge\boxed{192\ \text{in}^2}$

There are three parts to this figure: a rectangle and two triangles that are congruent.

We'll add together the area for each to get the total area.

We'll start by finding the area of the rectangle. We don't know its length, so we need to find the bases of the triangles and add them together.

We know that $a^2+b^2=c^2$ . Substitute and solve for $a$ :

$\begin{aligned}a^2+6^2&=10^2\\a^2+36&=100\\a^2+36-36&=100-36\\a^2&=64\\\sqrt{a^2}&=\sqrt{64}\\a&=8\end{aligned}$

Now, double this to get the total length of the rectangle, which is $16$ inches.

The area of the rectangle is equal to its length times its height:

$16\cdot9=\underline{144}$

Now, we'll find the area of one of the triangles and double it since they're congruent.

The area of a triangle is one-half of its base times its height, which we then double.

$2\left(\frac{1}{2}\cdot b\cdot h\right)$

The $2$ and the $\frac{1}{2}$ cancel each other out.

$b\cdot h$

Substitute and solve:

$8\cdot6=\underline{48}$

Finally, add the rectangle's area to the two triangles' area.

$144+48=\boxed{192}$

A box without a top is made from a rectangular piece of cardboard, with dimensions 6 ft by 8 ft, by cutting out square corners w

klio [65]

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

The first option:

$Volumen_{max}=(8-2x)(6-2x)*x$

From the statement, we know the dimensions of the box, and the length of the sides to be cut (x).

So,

Working with the length of the box, we have:

Let be 8 the length of the cardboard for the length of the box, so, if we cut out the side of length "x", we have:

$Length=(8-(x+x))=(8-2x)$

Now,

Working with the width of the box, we have:

Let be 6 the length of the cardboard for the width of the box, so, if we cut out the side of length "x", we have:

$Length=(6-(x+x))=(6-2x)$

Now that we already know the length and the width of the box, we know that the bottom of the box will have the same length "x", so, the greatest possible volume of the cardboard box will be:

$Volumen_{max}=Length*Width*Bottom=(8-2x)(6-2x)*x$

Have a nice day!
