Paco needs at least 3/8 yard of twine to build a model ship. How much twine could he buy?

1 answer:

8 0

Minimum length of twine required by Paco to build a model ship = 3/8 yard
   = 0.375 yard.
There are several options already given in the question. We have to check them before reaching a final conclusion.
Option a = 3/10 yard
   = 0.3 yard
So option is less than that reuired and hence cancelled.
Option b = 1/4 yard
   = 0.25
So this option is also less than the length required and hence cancelled.
Option c = 3/5 yard
   = 0.60 yard.
This option looks feasible, but the final option needs to be checked before getting to the conclusion.
Option d = 1/8 yard
   = 0.125 yard
Now we can finally conclude that among all the options given in the question, option "c" is the correct option.

the answer is yes when you add the same number to each side the inequality is still true. If u subtract then the inequality would not be true because you are taking away from both of the sides which will make the answer smaller. GOT IT ???

I have this problem for hw and it’s due tomorrow. can someone please help me? (it’s y-4 not 4-4)

Answer:

All real numbers

Step-by-step explanation:

$-2(y - 4) = 20 - 2y - 12$

Start by distributing -2 inside the parentheses.

$-2y + 8 = 20 - 2y - 12$

Combine like terms on the right side of the equation.

$-2y + 8 = 8 - 2y$

Subtract 8 from both sides of the equation.

$-2y =- 2y$

Divide both sides by -2 to isolate y.

$0=0$

This is a true statement, so there are infinite solutions.

The polygon in the diagram is a regular octagon with center A. Find the area of the octagon to the nearest tenth of a foot. A) 2

IRISSAK [1]

Method 1: In order to find out the area of an octagon with a radius of 4 feet, we have to split the whole figure into 8 equal isosceles triangles.
Therefore,
We will find out the area of one triangle and multiply the area with 8 to, figure out the area of the whole octagon there are 8 similar triangles and all of them will have the same area.

Method 2: From method 1, it would take time as there are too much of calculation, therefore we would go for the shortcut using the formula:

Area = 2√2 × r²

where r<span> is the radius of the octagon.
Substituting the values,
We get:
</span>Area = 2√2 × 4²
Area = 2√2 × 16
Area = 2× 1.41 × 16
Area = 2.828 × 16
Area = 45.25

Rounded to the nearest tenth:

Area = 45.3 ft²

Make a factor tree for 16

jonny [76]

16
∧
4 X 4
∧ ∧
2 X 2 2 X 2

The answer is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 or 2⁴ This would have worked as well had you broken

down 16 into 8 x 2. You would get the same answer as the 8 would break down into 4 x 2 and the 4 would break down into 2 x 2.
