Answer:

the length of the entire plank is less or equal to 20 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

when the wooden plank is divided into 8 sections, the length of each section is 5/2 meters or less. Since we don't know exactly what is the length of every part, we just can calculate the maximum value of the wooden plank.

The maximum length of the entire plank is given by the next equation:

X maximum= (# sections)*(length maximum of every section)

X maximum= 8 * 5/2 meters

X maximum = 20 meters

This result says that X is less or equal to 20 meters.

Your teacher is choosing 2 students to run an errand for her. There are 12 girls and 10 boys in the class. What is the probabili
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

2/7

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 22 (12 + 10) total students in the class. That means that the chance of the first student picked being a girl is 12/22.

Now, we must calculate the chance of the next student to be picked <em>also </em>being a girl - however, there is a trap here! Remember that since a girl has been picked, the total student pool has decreased to 21 and and the total number of girls has decreased to 11. This means the new chance of girl being picked is 11/21.

To find the probability of both these events happening in conjunction, these fractions must be multiplied. 12/22 * 11/21 = 132/462, which simplifies to 2/7.

For f(x)=log(the 2 is below log)2(x), between which two integers does f(40) lie?
Veronika [31]

f(x) = log2 x

f(40) = log2 40

40 = 2^y

2^5 = 32 and 2^6 = 64

so f(40) lies between  integers 5 and 6.

Ava has 34 candy bars. If
aliya0001 [1]

\bf Step-by-step~explanation:

If Ava has 34 candy bars, and each box can hold 5 bars, then we need to find out how many boxes that are filled up.

\bf Step~1:

Divide the number of candy bars (34), by the number each box can hold (5)

\bf\frac{34}{5}=6.8

Since we cannot have 6.8 boxes, we have to round down to 6.

\boxed{\bf Our~final~answer:~6~boxes}

\bf Check~our~answer:

To check our answer, we multiply the number of boxes (6), by the number of bars in each box (5), to get 30. We add Ava's extra bars (4), and we get the number we started off with: 34. This proves our answer is correct!
