A rope is 24 feet long. It is cut into two pieces such that one piece is half the length of the other. Find the lengths of the t

wo pieces of rope. Let x = the length of the shorter piece of rope. x + (1/2)x = 24 (3/2)x = 24 (2/3)(3/2)x = (2/3)(24) x = 16 The lengths of rope are 16 feet and 8 feet. A student solves the problem to the left as shown. Which statements describe the solution? Check all of the boxes that apply. The stated solution is correct (lengths of 16 feet and 8 feet). Based on the way the variable is defined, the equation should be x + 2x = 24. The equation is written correctly, but there is an error in solving the equation. The way the variable is defined, and because x=16, the longer piece of rope would be 32 feet, which is not possible.

Answer:

THE STATED SOLUTION IS CORRECT (LENGTHS OF 16 FEET AND 8 FEET)

BASED ON THE WAY THE VARIABLE IF DEFINED THE EQUATION SHOULD BE X+2 X=24 .

THE WAY THE VARIABLE IS DEFINED AND BECAUSE X=16 THE LONGER PIECE OF ROPE WOULD BE 32 FEET, WHICH IS NOT POSSIBLE .  SO A, B, AND D ARE YOUR ANSWERS ON E20 (JUST FINISHED THE QUESTION )

Answer:

6 ft long

Step-by-step explanation:

If your rope is 24 ft long, then split it into 2.

Then each is 12 ft long

Split one of the 12 ft peices in half

SO,... its 6 ft for one rope, and 18 ft for the other.

Hope this helps!

Calculate the perimeter if the value of x is 5.
IceJOKER [234]
Ah u again lol

Perimeter of Isosceles Triangle = 2x + 8
                                                  = 2(5) + 8
                                                  = 10 + 8
                                                  = 18

Therefore, the perimeter is 18. Maybe lol

Suppose a population has a mean of 7 for some characteristic of interest and a standard deviation of 9.6. A sample is drawn from
valkas [14]

Answer:  A. 1.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Sample size : n= 64

Standard deviation: \sigma=9.6

The formula to find the standard error of mean is given by :-

S.E.=\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\\Rightarrow\ S.E.=\dfrac{9.6}{\sqrt{64}}\\\\\Rightarrow\ S.E.=\dfrac{9.6}{8}=1.2

Therefore, the standard error of the​ mean= 1.2

Hence, A is the right option.

Consider that the length of rectangle A is 10 cm and its width is 6 cm. Which rectangle is similar to rectangle A? A) A rectangl
HACTEHA [7]
ANSWER

B) A rectangle with a length of 15 cm and a width of 9 cm.

EXPLANATION

The given rectangle, A, has length, 10cm and its width is 6cm.

The rectangle that is similar to rectangle A, has the corresponding sides in the same proportion.

For option A, the triangle has length 9cm and width 6cm.

The ratio of the corresponding sides are:

\frac{10}{9} \ne \frac{6}{6}

Since the ratios are not equal, the two triangles are not similar.

For the triangle in option B, the length is 15cm and the width is 9cm.

The ratio of the corresponding sides are:

\frac{10}{15} = \frac{6}{9} = \frac{2}{3}

Since the sides of the triangle are in the same proportion, the two triangles are similar.

For option C, the proportions are not the same.

\frac{10}{14} \ne \frac{6}{7}

The proportions are not the same for the triangle in option D.

\frac{10}{12} \ne \frac{6}{8}

A teacher with 10 students has 30 lesson times available. She will teach exactly one of her students during each lesson time. Ho
natka813 [3]

There are \frac{30!}{(3!)^{10} } ways for the teacher to decide which student she will teach during each lesson time if she must teach each student exactly 3 times. Here, "!" represents the factorial.

A number's factorial is the result of multiplying the integer by each natural number below it. Factorial can be symbolized by the letter "!". Thus, n factorial is denoted by n! and is the result of the first n natural numbers.

A whole number's "n" factororial is the sum of that number and each whole number up to one.

When a question asks you to determine how many different ways you can arrange or order a given number of items, you use a factorial.
