Answer:

<em>12.4 pieces of ribbon</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

When looking in the question, we can see the term "cut into equal pieces." This can insure to us that we need to divide two numbers. Since we originally have 15.5 inches long string, and we want to cut it into strings that are 1.25 inches long. We divide :

15.5 / 1.25

==> 12.4

How can you find approximations (estimations) of square roots?

Luda [366]

To find approximations of square roots, you should find the nearest prefect square. For example if your looking to approximate the square rot of 10, the closest perfect square is 9 and the square root of that is three. Thus, you can say that the square root is about 3. Hope this helps and please mark brainiest. :D

Svetllana [295]

Let x be the number of MP3 players TechWiz sold last week.

If TechWiz sold in total 130 MP3 and DVD players, then it sold (130-x) DVD players.

1. TechWiz Electronics makes a profit of $35 for each MP3 player sold, then it makes a profit $35x for x MP3 players sold.

2. TechWiz Electronics makes a profit of $18 for each DVD player sold , then it makes a profit $18(130-x) for (130-x) DVD players sold.

3. An expression for the combined total profit (in dollars) TechWiz made from MP3 and DVD players last week is

35x+18(130-x).

You can simplify it:
