Mathematics
1 answer:
Juliette [100K]3 years ago

Answer:

Area = 960 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter (P) = 2 (l + w)

P = 2l + 2w

Let the length be 5x

Let the width be 3x

From the question, P = 128.

Therefore:

128 = 2l + 2w

Divide both sides by 2.

l + w = 64

Recall we said:

l = 5x

w = 3x

So then:

5x + 3x = 64

8x = 64

Divide both sides by 8

x = 64/8

x = 8.

Since x = 8

Length = 5x = 5*8 = 40cm

Width =3x = 3 * 8 = 24cm

Area of a RECTANGLE:

Area = length * width

Area = 40 * 24

Area = 960 cm^2

Find and interpret the slope of the line containing the given points. (12,4) and (10,10)
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

3/-1

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is 3/-1 (Rise 3 on the y axis, run to the negatives by 1 on the x axis)

To find the slope of two points, use the formula of y2-y1/x2-x1 (For example, with this equation it would be 10-4/10-12)

I'm not sure what it means to interpret the slope, but hopefully this helped you!

ANSWER ASAP The ratio of red marbles to blue marbles in a jar is 3 to 8. There are 40 blue marbles in the jar. How many red marb
bogdanovich [222]
If the ratio of red marbles to blue marbles in a jar is 3 to 8, the meaning is for every 3 red marbles there are 8 blue marbles.
3 red marbles------------------8 blue marbles.

ratio=3/8

we have 40 blue marbles; we have to compute the number of red marbles.

1) Method 1; by the rule three.

3 red marbles-----------------8  blue marbles
x----------------------------------40 blue marbles

x=(3 red marbles * 40 blue marbles) / 8 blue marbles=15 red marbles.

answer: B. 15

Method 2: the ratio of red marbles to blue marbles is
ratio=number of red marbles / number of blue marbles
ratio=3/8

if we want to compute the number of red marbles we have to multiply the number of blue marbles by this  ratio.

number of red marbles=ratio (red/blue)* number of blue marbles
number of red marbles=(3/8)*40=15

Answer: B.15

Find the common factor and factor out <br> 9ab^2-3abc
dsp73
Lets go step by step and factor out each as we go

first lets factor out a 3 since 3 is common in 9 and 3 

3(3ab^2 - abc) 

now lets factor out a since its common in both 

3a(3b^2 - bc) 

now lets factor out a b since its common in both 

3ab(b - c) 

we can't factor anything else out so we are done.
