Let one piece be x.

Other piece is 3 times as long = 3x

The sum of both pieces would be equal to 8

x + 3x =  8

4x = 8

x = 8/4

x = 2

The shorter piece is x long.

The shorter piece is 2 feet long.

Juan ran the 200 meters in 26.47 seconds, Scott ran it in 26.82 seconds, Kyrah ran it in 26.9 seconds, and Beth ran it in 30.07
Natalka [10]

Answer:

Juan did.

Step-by-step explanation:

the two fastest speeds are 26.47 and 26.9 seconds. In order to be able to properly work with that, you need to add a 0 to 26.9 so that it turns into 26.47 and 26.90 seconds. If you were yo subtract those, you would have:

26.90-26.47= 0.43

Therefore, 26.47 seconds is faster than 26.9 seconds.

Identify an equation in point-slope form for the line perpendicular to y = -1/2x + 11 that passes through (4, -8)
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

y+8 = 2(x-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes. Since we know the slope of the first line is -1/2, this means the slope of the line perpendicular to it is 2.

And since we know the coordinated located on the line, we can fill out the formula for poiny-slope form:

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

QUESTION 3 Toyota provides an option of a sunroof and side airbag package for its Corolla model. This package costs $1400. Assum
Orlov [11]

Answer:

n=601

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula used:

n=z(\frac{\alpha }{2})^2\frac{p(1-p) }{E^2}

Solution:

n=z(\frac{\alpha }{2})^2\frac{p(1-p) }{E^2}

Where,

\frac{\alpha }{2}=0.025

As there is no previous estimate for p

Then, p=0.5

Here on using the table

z(\frac{\alpha }{2}) =1.959963985

Also,

E=0.04

p=0.5

Thus,

n=600.2279407

On approximating the value,

n=601
