Answer:

The shorter piece is 10 in. and the longer one is 50 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's set the shorter piece to be length x. Then the longer piece is 5x, or 5 times longer than the shorter piece.

Since both pieces combined equals to the length of the entire board, we can set these two lengths equal to it:

x + 5x = 60

And now solve for x:

6x = 60

x = 10 in (length of shorter piece)

Now let's find the length of the longer piece:

Longer = 5x = 5(10) = 50 in.

lora16 [44]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Charges up to 20 passengers = $540 per person per day

Total charges = 540 × 20 = $10800

If x passengers above 20 sign up for the cruise then total number of passengers = (20 + x)

Total revenue = $(20+x)

But each fare is reduced by $7 for additional passenger above 20 then revenue generated R(x) = 540(20+x) - 7x

R(x) = 10800 + 540x - 7x

R(x) = 10800 + 533x

a). Revenue per day realized R = 10800 + 533x

b). R(48) = 10800 + 48×533

              = $36,384

C). R(78) = 10800 + 78×543

              = $53,154

For each algebraic equation, select the property that could be used to solve it: 1. x-3=-5 2. 6x=72 3. x/5=3
kykrilka [37]
X - 3 = -5........addition property....because u add -3 to both sides

6x = 72.....either division property...because u divide both sides by 6.
                 or multiplication property...because u multiply both sides by 1/6

x/5 = 3.....multiplication  property....because u multiply both sides by 5

If a coin is thrown with a starting velocity of 0 m/s down a dry well and hits bottom in 1.2 s, what's the depth of the well? Wi
BigorU [14]

Answer:

Depth = 7.06 m

Velocity = 11.77 ms-1

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the equation of motion:-

s = ut + 1/2 gt^{2}   where s = distance fallen , t = time , u = initial velocity and g = 9.81 ms^-2 , the acceleration due to gravity.

So s = 0(t) + 1/2 * 9.81 (1.2)^2

= 7.06 m to nearest tenth.

We use another equation of motion to find the final velocity:-

v^2 = u^2 + 2gs    where v = final velocity

v^2 = 0 + 2*9.81 * 7.06

= 138.52

v = √138.52 = 11.77 m s-1
