A piece of string is 325 centimeters long. You need the string to be 114 meters long. How many centimeters should you cut off?

1 answer:

5 0

There are 100 centimeters in 1 meter.1 and 1/4 meters can also be written as 1.25, since 1/4 = 0.25.To find the answer, convert 1.25 meters to centimeters.
1 meter = 100 centimeters1.25 meters = x centimeters1.25 is 125% of 1. In other words, there is a 25% increase.
Now apply this increase to the centimeters side.125% = 1.251.25 • 100 = 125
So 1.25 meters (1 and 1/4 meters) equals 125 centimeters.
The string is 325 centimeters.In order for the string to be 125 centimeters, you need to cut some off.To find how much you need to cut off, subtract 125 from 325.325 - 125 = 200
Answer: In order for your string to be 1 and 1/4 meters, you must cut 200 centimeters off the original 325 centimeter long string.

Step-by-step explanation:

first we can find how many apples there are

42*12=504

then subtract 4 of the rotten apples

504-4=500

then find how many boxes there can be

Hey can yall please help me its 4'1 minuse 1'10

neonofarm [45]

4’1= 4 feet and 1 inch
12 inches= 1 ft.
12(4)= 48 ; 48+ 1inch = 49 inches
1’10= 1 foot and 10 inches
1(12)= 12 + 10 = 22
49-22= 27 inches !

Find the equation of the line through (6,4) and (-3,-8)

alexdok [17]

Answer:

y = 4/3x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the equation of a line with 2 points, we use the slope formula which is:

$\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

we will use (6,4) as $x_1[tex] and [tex]y_1$ and we will use (-3,-8) as $x_2[tex] and [tex]y_2$ . we plug this into the slope formula:

$\frac{-8-4}{-3-6}$

-8 - 4 = -12

-3 - 6 = -9

the slope is $\frac{-12}{-9}$

but we can simplify this further by dividing the fraction by -3

-12 / -3 = 4

-9 / -3 = 3

the simplified version of the slope is $\frac{4}{3}$

we can write this in slope-intercept form which is y =mx + b, with b being the y intercept and m being the slope

y = 4/3x + b <--- we need to solve for <em>b</em> in order to find the y intercept, so substitute x & y for a point on the line, we can use any point we are given, but for this example i will use (6,4)

4 = 4/3(6) + b < multiply 4/3 x 6

4 = 8 + b < subtract 8 from both sides

-4 = b

our y intercept would be (0,-4)

the equation looks like the following:

y = 4/3x - 4, which is our answer

Write a system of equations to describe the situation below, solve using any method, and fill in the blanks. The volleyball team

almond37 [142]

Answer: After washing 20 cars together, each team will have raised the same amount in total.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of cars that each each teams will wash for them to raise the same amount in total.

The volleyball team gets $4 per car. In addition, they have already brought in $24 from past fundraisers. This means that the total amount raised by the volleyball team after washing x cars would be

4x + 24

The wrestling team has raised $84 in the past, and they are making $1 per car today. This means that the total amount raised by the wrestling team after washing x cars would be

x + 84

For both amounts to be equal, the number of cars would be

4x + 24 = x + 84

4x - x = 84 - 24

3x = 60

x = 60/3

x = 20
