Step-by-step explanation:

This is a word problem that we must translate to mathematical expression before we can solve.

let the individual saving be the first letters of the names

Jada= J

Lin= L

Elena= E

1. Jada saved $20 less than Lin

    J=L-20

2. Lin saved 3 times as much money as Elena

   L= 3E

3. Hence Elena saved

   E

Together they saved $120.

hence

(L-20)+3E+E= 120

L-20+3E+E= 120

collecting like terms we hav

L+4E=120+20

L+4E= 140

but we know that L= 3E

3E+4E= 140

7E= 140

divide both sides by 7 we have

E= 140/7

E= $20

This means Elena saves $70

also  L= 3E

L= 3*20

L= $60

this means that Lean saved $60

also  J=L-20

J= 60-20

J= $40

This means that Jada saved $40

Describe the possible lengths of the third side of the triangle given that the lengths of the other two sides are 2 feet and 40
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

The length of the third side is between 16 inches and 64 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of a side of a triangle is between the sum and the difference of the lengths of the other two sides.

First, we need both sides in the same units. Let's convert feet to inches.

2 ft * (12 in.)/(ft) = 24 in.

The sides measure 24 inches and 40 inches.

Now we add and subtract the two lengths.

40 in. + 24 in. = 64 in.

40 in. - 24 in. = 16 in.

The length of the third side is between 16 inches and 64 inches.

What is 65.047 to 1 decimal place?
Anarel [89]
65.0

This is because 4 is not a big enough number to round up, so you must round down. When it is 5 and over, you can round up.
