Answer: Option 'E' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

If the length of one piece of rope is 2.8 meters shorter than the length of the other.

Let the length of first piece be 'x'.

Let the length of second piece be 'x-2.8'

Total length of rope = 20.6

So, According to question, it becomes,

x+x-2.8=20.6\\\\2x=20.6+2.8\\\\2x=23.4\\\\x=\dfrac{23.4}{2}\\\\x=11.7

So, the greatest number of the length of part of rope is 11.7 m.

Hence, Option 'E' is correct.

The sum of five consecutive multiples of 4 is 20.Find the smallest integer.
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

The smallest integer is -4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the smallest integer be x.

Since the integers are all multiples of 4, they are

=> x, x+4, x+8, x+12 and x+16

=> x + x+4 + x+8 + x+12 + x+16 = 20

=> 5x + 40 = 20

Subtract 40 from both sides of the equation

5x +40 - 40 = 20 - 40

5x = -20

Divide both sides by the coefficient of x(which is 5)

\frac{5x}{5} = \frac{-20}{5}

x = -4

∴ the smallest integer is -4.

Hope this helps!!!

2[(∛8)²+1/8*16]

(∛8)² = (∛8) x (∛8) = (∛64) = 4
1/8 *16 = 16/8 = 2
Total expression = 2 * (4+2)= 12
