Teri used 130 red bands on the 1st bracelet

Step-by-step explanation:

Teri bought 360 rubber band to make a bracelet

15% of the bands were white and the rest were red
After using 140 bands to make her 1st bracelet , 20% of the remaining bands were white

We need to find how many red bands did Teri use on the 1st bracelet

∵ Teri bought 360 rubber bands

∵ 15% of the bands were white

- Find the number of white bands by multiplying 155 by 360

∴ The number of the white bands = 15% × 360

∵ 155 = 15 ÷ 100 = 0.15

∴ The number of the white bands = 0.15 × 360 = 54

∵ She used 140 bands to make the first bracelet

∴ The remaining band = 360 - 140 = 220

∵ 20% of the remaining bands were white

- Find the number remaining white bands by multiplying 20% by 220

∴ The number of remaining white bands = 20% × 220

∵ 20% = 20 ÷ 100 = 0.2

∴ The number of remaining white bands = 0.2 × 220 = 44

- Subtract 44 from 54 to find the number of white bands used

in the 1st bracelet

∴ The number of white bands in the 1st bracelet = 54 - 44 = 10

∵ The number of bands in the 1st bracelet is 140

∵ 10 of them were white

∴ The number of red bands in the 1st bracelet = 140 - 10 = 130

Teri used 130 red bands on the 1st bracelet

Evaluate log 2 base 8

iren2701 [21]

Answer: The correct answer is: " 3 " .

_______________________________

Step-by-step explanation:

_______________________________

The problem given is:

_______________________________

Evaluate: log 2 base 8 .

_______________________________

Rewrite as: " $log_2}8 = ? _______________$ " ; $log_2}8 = ? _______________$

_______________________

Take note of the following definition of a logarithm:

_______________________

" $log_{m}n = a$ " ; ↔ " $m^{a} =n$ " ;

_______________________

in which: $m$ refers to the "base" ;

$n$ refers to the "argument" ;

$a$ refers to the "exponent" ;

______________________________

As such:

" $log_2}8 = ? _______________$ "

⇔ " $2^{x} = 8$ " ; Solve for "x" ;

_______________

Note:

2⁰ = 1 ;

2¹ = 2 ;

2² = 2 * 2 = 4 ;

2³ = 2 * 2 * 2 = 8 .

___________________

→ " $2^{x} = 8$ " ;

→ " $2^{3} = 8$ " ; since: " $2^{3} = 2 *2 *2 = 8$ " ;

→ as such: " x = 3 " ;

______________________

Thus:

"log 2 base 8 " ;

= $log{_{2}}8 = 3$ .

Hope this helps!

What is X? Question 8 options: 9 24 33 15

nevsk [136]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Along the left side we have that the 2 segments split by the segment x are congruent to one another. Same with the segments split on the right. That means, logically, that the segment x is exactly halfway between the 2 lines with lengths of 18 and 48. Half way between 18 and 48 is the average of those 2 numbers, which is 33.
