Well if each band needs 15.5 inches and she needs to make 12 headbands she needs 15.5 inches 12 times. Now you can add 15.5 + 15.5 +15.5 (so on) 12 times or you can do it the easier way and do 15.5 times 12. this comes out to 186 inches of ribbon. She estimated 160 inches of ribbon, this is unreasonable because it is significantly less that 186.
Answer:
h = 24 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for area of a triangle is
A = (1/2)bh where b is the base and h is the height.
We are told that the base is 5 times the height, this translates to
b = 5h, so we can rewrite our formula to
A = (1/2)(5h)(h) or
A = (1/2)5h²
We are given A = 1,440, so plug that in and solve for h...
1,440 = (1/2)5h²
2,880 = 5h² (multiply both sides by 2 to get rid of the fraction)
576 = h² (divide both sides by 5 to get the h value by itself)
24 = h (take the square root of both sides)
Y = mx + b. This linear graph passes through A(0,50) and B(10,51)
m = (y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁)
m= (51-50)/10-0)
m=(1)(10)
y = (1/x) + b. To find b, you plugin the coordinates of either A or B,
say A(0,50):
50 = (1/10).(0) + b
50 = 0+b and b= 51
Hence the equation is y =0.1x + 50
Pays $94
brushes = $40
94 - 40 = 54
54 ÷ 6 = 9
each can of paint costs $9
