Answer: No, Cammie is not correct. She can mow  1\frac{1}{5}\ acres in one hour (See explanation).

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert the mixed number to an impoper fraction:

1. Multiply the whole number part by the denominator of the fraction and add the product to the numerator.

2. The denominator does not change.

Then:

1\frac{1}{4}=\frac{(1*4)+1}{4}=\frac{5}{4}

Let be "x" the acres Cammie can mow in one hour.

You know that she can mow \frac{1}{2}\ acre in 25 minutes, then you can set up the following proportion (Remember that 1 hour has 60 minutes):

\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{25}=\frac{x}{60}

Solving for "x", you get:

\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{25}=\frac{x}{60}\\\\(60)(\frac{1}{50})=x\\\\x=\frac{6}{5}

Convert from improper fraction to mixed number:

1. When you divide 6 by 5, the quotient is 1. This will be the whole number part.

2. The remainder is 1. This will be the numerator.

3. The denominator does not change.

Then:

x=1\frac{1}{5}

Therefore, she can mow  1\frac{1}{5}\ acres in one hour.

        y = (x-h)^2 + k       This is the std. equation of a parabola in vertex form.

You can see, by comparison, that h=1 and k= -16; these are the coordinates of the vertex, clearly shown in the diagram.

Since the coefficient of (x-h)^2 is +1, the graph opens upward (which the given graph confirms), and is neither compressed nor stretched vertically.</span>

You need to design a rectangle with a perimeter of 14.2 cm. The length must be 2.4 cm. What is the width of the
irina1246 [14]

Part (a)

<h3>Answer: 2(2.4+w) = 14.2</h3>

--------------

Explanation:

L = 2.4 = length

W = unknown width

The perimeter of any rectangle is P = 2(L+W)

We replace L with 2.4, and replace P with 14.2 to get 14.2 = 2(2.4+w) which is equivalent to 2(2.4+w) = 14.2

========================================================

Part (b)

<h3>Answer:   w = 4.7</h3>

--------------

Explanation:

We'll solve the equation we set up in part (a)

2(2.4+w) = 14.2

2(2.4)+2(w) = 14.2

4.8+2w = 14.2

2w = 14.2-4.8

2w = 9.4

w = 9.4/2

w = 4.7

The width must be 4.7 cm.

What’s the correct answer for this?
joja [24]

Answer:

MN = 48

Step-by-step explanation:

Since AB is a diameter , so it divides MN into 2 equal parts i.e. MO = NO

7x-4 = 6x

7x-6x = 4

x = 4

Now

MN = MO + NO

MN = 7x-4+6x

MN = 7(4)-4+6(4)

MN = 28-4+24

MN = 48
