The value of x is 5.5. I got this answer by first distributing -3 amongst (x-11), and distributing 7 amongst (2x-5). Next I combined like terms and subtracted 3x from 5x, and added -35 and 2. Next I subtracted 33 from both sides. Next I subtracted 14x from both sides. And finally I divided both sides by -12 to get the final answer of 5.5.

Matt is cutting quilt squares measuring 3 inches on each side. He wants to use them to make a rectangular wall hanging measuring

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

Matt will need 10176 square quilts to cover the wall

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this perfectly, we will have to first convert everything to the same unit.

dimensions of the quilt squares = 3 inches

Length of the wall = 1 yard = 36 inches

Breadth of the wall = 212 feet = 2544 inches.

The next step, is to find the area of the wall that Matt is covering.

Area of wall = length X breadth = 36 X 2544 = $91584in ^{2}$

We will also find the area of the square quilts. This is given as length X length = $3^{2}$ = $9 in^{2}$

to get the number of square quilts that will cover that area, we will have to divide the area of the wall by the area of the quilts

= 91584 /9 = 10176 quilts

Matt will need 10176 quilts to cover the wall

If John has pairs of red, orange, yellow, blue and green socks, how many can he wear them in over 5 days, repetition is allowed

iren [92.7K]

Answer:

Total ways = 5×5×5×5×5

Total ways = 5^5

Total ways = 3125

Therefore, the correct option is C) 5^5

Step-by-step explanation:

John has pairs of red, orange, yellow, blue and green socks.

Which means that John has 5 different colors pairs of socks.

We are asked to find out in how many ways can he wear them over 5 days.

1st Day:

On the first day John has 5 ways to choose from.

2nd Day:

On the second day John has 5×5 ways to choose from.

(Since repetition is allowed)

3rd Day:

On the third day John has 5×5×5 ways to choose from.

4th Day:

On the fourth day John has 5×5×5×5 ways to choose from.

5th Day:

On the fifth day John has 5×5×5×5×5 ways to choose from.

Total ways = 5×5×5×5×5

Total ways = 5^5

Total ways = 3125

Therefore, the correct option is C) 5^5

You cut a circular hole 1/4 -inch in diameter in a piece of cardboard. With the cardboard 30 inches from your face, the Moon fit

Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

The Moon's diameter is greater than $1,500$ miles

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

$1\ mile=63,360\ inches$

$1,500\ miles=1,500*63,360=95,040,000\ inches$

$240,000\ miles=240,000*63,360=15,206,400,000\ inches$

by proportion

Find the Moon's diameter

Let

x-----> the Moon's diameter in inches

$\frac{x}{15,206,400,000}=\frac{0.25}{30}\\ \\x= 15,206,400,000*0.25/30\\ \\x=126,720,000\ inches$

Compare

$126,720,000\ inches> 95,040,000\ inches$

therefore

The Moon's diameter is greater than $1,500$ miles
