Answer:

Half of year 2043

Step-by-step explanation:

The function is: f(x) = 3.5√x + 38

where f(x) represents the percentage of U.S. women in the labor force x years after 1960.

Replacing f(x) = 70 and isolating x, we get:

70 = 3.5√x + 38

3.5√x = 70 - 38

√x = 32/3.5

x = 9.14²

x = 83.5

This means, in year 1960 + 83.5 = 2043.5, that is, at half of year 2043

4/9 / 9/5= the answer is
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

  20/81

Step-by-step explanation:

Without parentheses, it is hard to tell what you are dividing. We assume you want ...

  (4/9)/(9/5)

Then ...

\displaystyle\frac{\left(\frac{4}{9}\right)}{\left(\frac{9}{5}\right)}=\frac{4}{9}\cdot\frac{5}{9}=\frac{4\cdot 5}{9\cdot 9}=\frac{20}{81}

_____

As written (without parentheses), your expression is evaluated left to right, so evaluates to ...

  4/(9·9·5) = 4/405

Jacky baked some biscuits.he kept 3/7 of the biscuits in container A.5/8 of the remainder in container B and rest in container C
Colt1911 [192]
Let "b" represent the number of biscuits Jacky baked.
.. container A holds (3/7)b
.. container B holds (1 -3/7)*(5/8)b = (5/14)b
.. container C holds (1 -3/7 -5/14)b = (3/14)b = 168

Then
.. b = 168/(3/14) = 784

Jacky baked 784 biscuits.

How is a one-degree angle helpful classifying angles?
faltersainse [42]
It can give you a pretty good idea of how many degrees everything is. for example if something was 13degrees, you would be able to make an estimate because you know how much one degree is.
