The correct answer is 60 raisins. To get this answer you will write a proportion of M & Ms to raisins and create and equivalent ratio using the number 36.

After you have the proportion set up, you will use cross products to solve for the number of raisins.

You can also use equivalent ratios to find the number of raisins.

Both of these strategies are shown in the attached picture.

There would be a hole when x = -4.

If you factor both the top and the bottom, you will see that the factor (x + 4) is in both the numerator and denominator. Therefore, the would be a hole when x = -4 because that would also make the denominator 0.

James is putting a fence around his square yard. The area of his yard is 100 square feet. How much fencing does James need in to

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

40 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because James's yard is a square, we can take the square root of the area to find the side length. The square root of 100 is 10, so we know that one side of his yard will require 10 feet of fencing. Since the yard has 4 sides, we simply need to do 4 * 10 = 40 ft of fencing.

Hope this helps!

Martin has a shoe box with the dimensions 4 inches, by 6 inches, by 10 inches. He wants to determine if a relay baton inches wil

kicyunya [14]

Answer:

10 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to find what is the bigger dimension of the box, because the relay baton will occupy the box, and the larger dimension of the relay baton (that is, it's length) need to be less or equal than the larger dimension of the box.

The dimensions of the box are: 4 inches, 6 inches and 10 inches.

The larger dimension of the box is 10 inches. So, If we want the relay baton to fit in the box, the maximum length it can have is 10 inches.
