Answer: 11 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A scale model of a boxcar of a train has a length of 10 inches and a width of 2 inches.

The length of the real boxcar = 55 feet.

Let x be the width of the real car.

We know that the corresponding dimension of two similar models are proportional, therefore we have

\dfrac{x}{55}=\dfrac{2}{10}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{2\times55}{10}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=11\text{ feet}

Hence, the width of the real boxcar is 11 feet.

Does the function model exponential growth or decay f(x)=3*(7/4)^x
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

Exponential functions are patterns that get continuously multiplied by some number. It's exponential growth when the base of our exponential is bigger than 1, which means those numbers get bigger. It's exponential decay when the base of our exponential is in between 1 and 0 and those numbers get smaller.

If it takes one person 4 hours to paint a room and another person 12 hours to
paint the same room, working together they could paint the room even quicker, it
turns out they would paint the room in 3 hours together. This can be reasoned by
the following logic, if the first person paints the room in 4 hours, she paints 14 of
the room each hour. If the second person takes 12 hours to paint the room, he
paints 1 of the room each hour. So together, each hour they paint 1 + 1 of the 12 4 12
room. Using a common denominator of 12 gives: 3 + 1 = 4 = 1. This means 12 12 12 3
each hour, working together they complete 13 of the room. If 13 is completed each hour, it follows that it will take 3 hours to complete the entire room.
This pattern is used to solve teamwork problems. If the first person does a job in A, a second person does a job in B, and together they can do a job in T (total). We can use the team work equation.
Teamwork Equation: A1 + B1 = T1
Often these problems will involve fractions. Rather than thinking of the first frac-
tion as A1 , it may be better to think of it as the reciprocal of A’s time.
World View Note: When the Egyptians, who were the first to work with frac- tions, wrote fractions, they were all unit fractions (numerator of one). They only used these type of fractions for about 2000 years! Some believe that this cumber- some style of using fractions was used for so long out of tradition, others believe the Egyptians had a way of thinking about and working with fractions that has been completely lost in history.

Worth 12 Points, i spent 24
rewona [7]

Answer:

  \displaystyle m^{\frac{35}{12}}n^{-\frac{28}{15}}=\frac{m^{\frac{35}{12}}}{n^{\frac{28}{15}}}

Step-by-step explanation:

The relevant rule of exponents is ...

  (a^b·c^d)^e = a^(be)·c^(de)

Then ...

  (m^(5/4)·n^(-4/5))^(7/3) = m^(5/4·7/3)·n^(-4/5·7/3)

  = m^(35/12)·n^(-28/15)

__

Since you want positive rational exponents, you can write this as ...

  = m^(35/12)/n^(28/15)
