A board 60 in. Long is cut two parts so that the longer piece is 5 times the shorter. What are the length of the two pieces?

Mathematics
1 answer:
vlada-n [284]3 years ago
7 0

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.

A dog weighs two pounds less than three times the weight of a cat. The dog also weights twenty-two more pounds than the cat. Wri
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

the cat weighs 21 pounds.

the dog weighs 43 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

dog = 3x-20 = x + 22

cat = x

3x-20 = x+22

3x = x+42 (add 20 to both sides)

2x = 42 (subtract x from both sides)

x = 21

How would I simplify 53-2(16/8*16-7)
Oduvanchick [21]

The simplified form of the expression is 3

<h3>Simplifying an Expression</h3>

From the question, we are to simplify the given expression

The given expression is

53 -2(16/8 * 16-7)

Simplifying

Using BODMAS

53 -2(16/8 × 16-7)

53 -2(2 × 16-7)

53 -2(32-7)

53 -2(25)

53 -50

= 3

Hence, the simplified form of the expression is 3

A falling object travels a distance given by the formula d=3t+5t2, where d is measured in feet and t is measured in seconds. How
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

<em>4.52secs</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the height of a falling object expressed as;

d=3t+5t^2

If the object travel 84 feet, we are to find the time t it takes to travel. On substituting;

84 = 3t+5t^2

3t+5t^2 - 84 = 0

t = -5±√25-4(3)(-84)/2(3)

t = -5±√25+1008/6

t = -5±32.14/6

t = -5+32.14/6

t = 27.14/6

<em>t = 4.52 secs</em>

<em>Hence it will take 4.52secs for the object to travel 84feet</em>

Reem earns $16 per hour for the first 8 hours of her shift. For each additional hour she works beyond the first 8 hours, she ear
RideAnS [48]

The single shift worked by Reem is 16 hours long.

Total earned = $320

First 8 hours (earning per hour) = $16

Additional hours = $24 per hour

Let the total number of hours worked = m

The Number of hours after 8 hours = m - 8

Representing the scenario with an equation :

(16 × 8) + (24 × (m - 8)) = 320

128 + 24m - 192 = 320

-64 + 24m = 320

24m = 320 + 64

24m = 384

Divide through by 24

m = 384 / 24

m = 16

Hence, the shift is 16 hours long.
