10 feet 6 inches = 126 inches. Length of the car is 126 inches and the model length is 7 inches. 
126 : 7 = 18 
The scale factor of the model to the actual car is  1 : 18.

The length of a rectangle represented by 4a plus 3B and it's width is represented by 3a minus 2b. Write a polynomial for the per
Svetach [21]
The polynomial for the perimeter starts from the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle as written below:

Perimeter = 2L + 2W = 2( L + W)
Perimeter = 2(4A + 3B + 3A - 2B)
Perimeter = 2(7A - B)
Let perimeter be P,
P = 14A - 2B  --> this would be the polynomial

Let's substitute A=12 to the polynomial:
P = 14(12) - 2B = 168 - 2B
To determine the minimum P, set it to 0.0001.
0.0001 = 168 - 2B
B = 83.999 or 84

Thus, the minimum perimeter is achieved if the value of B approached to 84.

A chemist has 10% and 40% solutions of acid available. How many liters of each solution should be mixed to obtain 120 liters of
kaheart [24]

Answer:

100 liters of  10% solution is used and 20 liters of  40% solution is used

Step-by-step explanation:

Let "X" amount of 10% solution is used. Then the amount of 40% solution used is equal to 120-X

Now

10% of X + 40% of (120-X) = 15% of 120

On solving the above equation, we get

0.1 X + 0.4 (120-X) = 0.15 *120\\0.1 X + 48 -0.4X = 18\\0.3 X = 30\\X = 100liters

Amount of 40% solution used  = 120 -X = 120-100 = 20 liters

100 liters of  10% solution is used and 20 liters of  40% solution is used

Ellen says that one and 2/5 equal 5÷7. Is she correct? Explain.
zhuklara [117]
No because 2/5 is the same as 2 divided by 7, so 2/5 = 0.4 where 5 divide by 7 is 0.714….. so they’re not equal.
