Answer:

$266$ $\frac{2}{3}$ $yards$

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Approach

First, convert the dimensions of the room from feet to yards. Remember, the conversion rate between feet and yards is, $3feet=1yard$ . Next, find the area of the room by multiplying the length by the width.

2. Convert the unit of measurement

The measurement unit is given in feet, one must convert it into yards. The conversion rate between yards and feet is, $3feet=1yard$ .

$60feet=20yards\\\\40feet=13\frac{1}{3}yards$

3. Find the area of the room

Now multiply the length by the width to find the area of the room.

$20yards*13\frac{1}{3}yrads\\\\= 20 * \frac{40}{3}\\\\=\frac{800}{3}\\\\= 266\frac{2}{3}_{.}yards^{2}$

Need an explanation on number 44 to why E is correct

aliina [53]

Before we can make sure that E is correct, we need to make the denominator is equal with questions and the choices or convert into decimal.

2/3 = 0.66

1/3=0.33

1/5=0.2

2/6=1/3 = 0.33

1/2 = 0.5

7/10 = 0.7

7/9 = 0.77

The question is :

2/3 < x < 7/9

0.66 < x < 0.77

We need to divide into 2 parts :

0.66 < x

x < 0.77

So we need to find the answer that x is greater that 0.66 and we got 7/10. And 7/10 is less than 7/9.

Hope this helps. Please ask if you don't understand.

Paul has 12 coins in his pocket, consisting entirely of dimes and quarters. If he has a total of 195 cents in coins, how many co

anyanavicka [17]

Let x be the number of dimes

and y be the number of quarters

Total number of coins = 12

So number of dimes + number of quarters = total number of coins

x + y = 12 ---------> equation 1

We know, 1 Quarter = 25 cents, 1 Dime = 10 cents, total cents = 196

y quarters = 25y cents , x dimes = 10x cents

x dimes + y quarters = 195 cents

10x + 25y = 195 -----------> equation 2

Now solve both equations

x + y =12, we solve for y by subtracting x on both sides

y = 12-x

Now substitute y in second equation

10x + 25(12-x) = 195

10x + 300 -25x = 195 (combine like terms)

-15x + 300 = 195 (subtract 300 on both sides)

-15x = -105 ( divide by -15)

x=7

y= 12-x

y=12-7 = 5

The number of dimes = 7

Number of quarters = 5

From a practice assignment:<br>solve the following differential equation given initial conditions

hodyreva [135]

If $y' = e^y \sin(x)$ and $y(-\pi)=0$ , separate variables in the differential equation to get

$e^{-y} \, dy = \sin(x) \, dx$

Integrate both sides:

$\displaystyle \int e^{-y} \, dy = \int \sin(x) \, dx \implies -e^{-y} = -\cos(x) + C$

Use the initial condition to solve for $C$ :

$-e^{-0} = -\cos(-\pi) + C \implies -1 = 1 + C \implies C = -2$

Then the particular solution to the initial value problem is

$-e^{-y} = -\cos(x) - 2 \implies e^{-y} = \cos(x) + 2$

Samuel can type nearly 40 words per minute. Use this information to find the number of hours it would take him to type 2000 word

Sauron [17]

If he types 40 words a minute, he can type 2000 words in 50 minutes you can solve this by doing 40*50 the number of hours would be less than one
