Given is a sculpture that is built up of metal and wood, and the weight of this sculpture is 14.9 kilograms.

It says that three-fourth of the total weight is metal and says to find the weight of wooden part.

We can find the weight of metal part and then subtract it from the total weight to calculate the answer.

Total weight = 14.9 kilograms.

Metal part = three-fourth of total weight = $\frac{3}{4} *14.9=\frac{44.7}{4} =11.175 \;kilograms$

Wooden part = 14.9 - 11.175 = 3.725 kilograms.

Hence, the wooden part is 3.725 kilograms.

3.725 kilograms or ¹/₄ part

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

<u>Given:</u>

An artist builds a sculpture out of metal and wood that weighs 14.9 kilograms.

³/₄ of this weight is metal, and
the rest is wood.

<u>Question:</u>

How much does the wood part of the sculpture weighs?

<u>The Process:</u>

From the information above, we make a diagram that matches the composition of the sculpture material.

$\boxed{metal}\boxed{metal}\boxed{metal}\boxed{wood} = 14.9 \ kilograms$

³/₄ of this weight is metal, and
the rest is wood, which is $\boxed{ \ 1 - \frac{3}{4} = \frac{1}{4} \ }$ .

And now, let us calculate the wood part of the sculpture weighs.

$\boxed{ \ = \frac{1}{4} \times 14.9 \ kilograms \ }$

Both 4 and 14.9 are multiplied by 10.

$\boxed{ \ = \frac{1}{40} \times 149 \ kilograms \ }$

$\boxed{ \ = \frac{149}{40} \ kilograms \ }$

Both the numerator and denominator are divided by 4.

$\boxed{ \ = \frac{37.25}{10} \ kilograms \ }$

$\boxed{ \ = \frac{3,725}{1,000} \ kilograms \ }$

$\boxed{\boxed{ \ 3.725 \ kilograms \ }}$

Thus, the wood part of the sculpture weighs is 3.725 kilograms or ¹/₄ part.

Joe claims that 1/4 is of a figure is less than 1/8 of the same figure. Which statement is true?

Rainbow [258]

Answer:

I disagree with joe.

Step-by-step explanation:

1/8 of a figure is smaller than 1/4. 2/8 of a figure is the same thing as 1/4 though.

A baseball diamond is a square with side 90 ft. A batter hits the ball and runs toward first base with a speed of 31 ft/s. (a) A

julsineya [31]

Answer:

a) -13.9 ft/s

b) 13.9 ft/s

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The rate of his distance from the second base when he is halfway to first base can be found by differentiating the following Pythagorean theorem equation respect t:

$D^{2} = (90 - x)^{2} + 90^{2}$ (1)

$\frac{d(D^{2})}{dt} = \frac{d(90 - x)^{2} + 90^{2})}{dt}$

$2D\frac{d(D)}{dt} = \frac{d((90 - x)^{2})}{dt}$

$D\frac{d(D)}{dt} = -(90 - x) \frac{dx}{dt}$ (2)

Since:

$D = \sqrt{(90 -x)^{2} + 90^{2}}$

When x = 45 (the batter is halfway to first base), D is:

$D = \sqrt{(90 - 45)^{2} + 90^{2}} = 100. 62$

Now, by introducing D = 100.62, x = 45 and dx/dt = 31 into equation (2) we have:

$100.62 \frac{d(D)}{dt} = -(90 - 45)*31$

$\frac{d(D)}{dt} = -\frac{(90 - 45)*31}{100.62} = -13.9 ft/s$

Hence, the rate of his distance from second base decreasing when he is halfway to first base is -13.9 ft/s.

b) The rate of his distance from third base increasing at the same moment is given by differentiating the folowing Pythagorean theorem equation respect t:

$D^{2} = 90^{2} + x^{2}$

$\frac{d(D^{2})}{dt} = \frac{d(90^{2} + x^{2})}{dt}$

$D\frac{dD}{dt} = x\frac{dx}{dt}$ (3)

We have that D is:

$D = \sqrt{x^{2} + 90^{2}} = \sqrt{(45)^{2} + 90^{2}} = 100.63$

By entering x = 45, dx/dt = 31 and D = 100.63 into equation (3) we have:

$\frac{dD}{dt} = \frac{45*31}{100.63} = 13.9 ft/s$

Therefore, the rate of the batter when he is from third base increasing at the same moment is 13.9 ft/s.

I hope it helps you!

vesna_86 [32]

A cross section is the shape you get when you cut straight through an object Like a prism so
you will get a triangle example:
In geometry it is the shape made when a solid is cut through by a plane. The cross section of a circular cylinder is a circle or a cross section of a pyramid is a rectangle. A two dimensional figure like a rectangle has two dimensions length and width. A three dimensional figure like a building has three dimensions length width and height.

1.Write this sentence as an equation.Do not solve it.

Ivahew [28]

Problem 1

x = some unknown number

3x = three times a number

3x-7 = difference of three times a number and seven

2(3x-7) = two times the difference of three times a number and seven

2(3x-7) = x

The last equation is formed because the expression we built up is equal to the original number in question

<h3>Answer: 2(3x-7) = x</h3>

===========================================================

Problem 2

Use the distribution rule to get

3(2x+4)-2x

3*2x+3*4-2x

6x+12-2x

From here, we combine like terms. That means we combine the 6x and -2x to get 4x

So 6x+12-2x simplifies to 4x+12 and not 16x

How did she get 16x? Possibly because she mistakenly thought she could add 4x to 12 to get 16x. This only works if the 12 had x attached to it.

In other words, this is valid: 4x+12x = 16x but this is not 4x+12 = 16x

===========================================================

Problem 3

L = length = horizontal dimension = (d+15) ft

W = width = vertical dimension = (d-3) ft

P = perimeter of the rectangle = 108 ft

P = 2(L+W)

108 = 2(d+15+d-3)

108 = 2(2d+12)

108 = 4d+24

4d+24 = 108

4d = 108-24

4d = 84

d = 84/4

d = 21

The deep end is 21 feet long.

This means the overall horizontal length is d+15 = 21+15 = 36 feet and the the vertical width is d-3 = 21-3 = 18 feet

The overall dimensions of the rectangular pool are 36 ft by 18 ft

<h3>Answer: d = 21</h3>
