7ft = 84in   84  ÷  15 =  5.6 pieces he can cut from each board.  Since .6 is not a whole piece measuring 15 inches long, he can only cut 5 pieces from each board.

So, 5 x 2 = 10

He would be able to cut 10 pieces measuring 15 inches long.

Hope this helps :)

It will be double whatever he can cut from one board, not what he can cut from both boards treated as a single 14ft board.
He wants 15 inch pieces.
Each board in 7 x 12 = 84 inches.
How many 15 inches from 84? 84 / 15 = 5.6. So that is 5 because we have to round down.
Since he has two boards the total number is 5 x 2 = 10.

Jake is making bracelets to give to his sisters. He uses 4 rainbow charms and 8 white star charms for his younger sister's brace
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer: Yes.

Step-by-step explanation: 4:8 simplifies to 1:2, since he used half as many rainbow charms as he did white stars. 5:10 also simplifies to 1:2. If they both have half as many rainbow charms as white, then both of his sister’s bracelets keep the same ratio.

5y (- 9 - 3y) = 13 What is Y?
Murrr4er [49]
To solve this equation, we have to use the distributive property to multiply 5y through the parentheses. 

-45y - 15y^2 = 13

-15y^2 - 45y - 13 = 0 

15y^2-45y-13=0

Calculate the average rate of change for the given function, from x = −3 to x = 7.
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

The average rate of change for the given function, from x = −3 to x = 7 will be:

  • Average rate = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the table

x                      f(x)

-3                     50

3                      10

7                       0

As the interval is from x = -3 to x = 7.

so

at x₁ = -3, f(x₁) = 50

at x₂ = 7,  f(x₂) = 0

Using the formula to determine the average rate of change at which the total cost increases will be:

Average rate = [f(x₂) - f(x₁)] / [ x₂ - x₁]

                       = [0 - 50] / [7-(-3)]

                      = [-50] / [7+3]

                      = -50 / 10

                      = -5

Therefore, the average rate of change for the given function, from x = −3 to x = 7 will be:

  • Average rate = -5

A cardboard box is open at one end and is shaped like a square prism missing one of its square bases. The volume of the prism is
Yuliya22 [10]
Given:
Volume of square prism = 810 cubic inches
Height of square prism = 10 inches

The volume of a square prism has this formula:
v = a²h

a = side length of the square prism
h = height

810 in³ = a² * 10in
810 in³ ÷ 10 in = a²
81 in² = a²
√81 in² = √a²
9 in = a

The length of each side of the base is 9 inches. Only 5 sides of the cardboard box has a cardboard because the 6th side is open.
