Each paper clip is 7\8 of an inch long and costs $0.03. Exactly enough paper clips are laid end to end to have a total length of

56 inches. What is the total cost of these paper clips?

56 inches ÷ $\frac{7}{8}$

= 56 ÷ .875 = 64 paper clips will be needs (.875 is the same as 7/8)

64 x .03 = $1.92

. Which function's graph has a vertex at (-1, -3) and contains the point (2, 15)?<br> HELPPP PLEASEE

AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

2(x+1)²-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the vertex formula we can write the follwoing equation

y=a(x+1)²-3

We need to solve for a

we know that when x= 2 y = 15

So we can write

15=a(2+1)²-3

15=9a-3

18=9a

a=2

Which means our final equation is

2(x+1)²-3

in standard form (just in case)

2x²+4x-1

Help me out please?<br>chapter : exponents and powers

belka [17]

Answer:

$\frac{125}{27}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{2^{-4} \times 15^{-3} \times 625}{5^2 \times 10^{-4}}$

Lets expand all the composite numbers into prime numbers.

$=> \frac{2^{-4} \times (3^{-3} \times 5^{-3}) \times 5^4}{5^2 \times (2^{-4} \times 5^{-4})}$

Lets cancel $2^{-4}$ from numerator and denominator.

$=> \frac{3^{-3} \times 5^{-3} \times 5^4}{5^2 \times 5^{-4}}$

Using laws of exponents , lets solve this.

$=> \frac{3^{-3} \times 5^{(-3 + 4)}}{5^{( 2 - 4)}}$

$=> \frac{3^{-3} \times 5^{1}}{5^{-2}}$

$=> 3^{-3} \times 5^{[1 - (-2)]}$

$=> 3^{-3} \times 5^{3}$

$=> \frac{5^3}{3^3} = \frac{125}{27}$

Which statement shows the associative property of addition?

AleksAgata [21]

The associative property of addition is shown in equations where the order in which the evaluation is made does not change the result, providing the numbers remain in the same order. Option B demonstrates this.

A bag contains 3 red, 4 blue, and 6 yellow marbles. One marble is selected at a time, and once a marble is selected, it is not r

astraxan [27]

The probability of choosing two yellow marbles = 5/26

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

Given

Total number of marbles in the bag = 13 marbles

Number of yellow marbles = 6.

We choose 2 marbles from the bag without replacing and need to determine the probability that both are yellow.

Step 2 :

Probability of finding yellow marble in the first try = Number of yellow marbles / Total number of marbles = $\frac{6}{13}$

Once the yellow marble is selected we have 5 yellow marbles among 12 remaining marbles in the bag.

Probability of finding yellow marble in the second try = Number of yellow marbles / Total number of marbles = $\frac{5}{12}$

Step 3:

P(yellow in first 2 tries) = P(yellow in first try) * P(yellow in second try)

P(yellow in first 2 tries) = $\frac{6}{13} * \frac{5}{12}$ = $\frac{5}{26}$

Step 4:

Answer:

The probability of choosing two yellow marbles = 5/26
