Answer: Paula starts with 301.5 yarns.

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a line passing through two points (a,b) and (c,d) is given by:-

(y-b)=\dfrac{b-d}{a-c}(x-a)

Given: x=  number of square inches knitted on the scarf

y= number of yarns remaining on the ball of yarn

The equation of a line passing through (15, 300.2) and (26, 177.88):

(y-300.2)=\dfrac{26-15}{177.88-300.2}(x-15)\\\\\Rightarrow (y-300.2)=\dfrac{11}{-122.32}(x-15)\\\\\Rightarrow (y-300.2)=\dfrac{11}{-122.32}(x-15)

To find initial point, put x=0

y-300.2=-\dfrac{11}{122.32}(0-15)\\\\\Rightarrow\ y-300.2=\dfrac{375}{278}\\\\\Rightarrow\ y=\dfrac{375}{278}+300.2\\\\\Rightatrrow\ y=301.5  \ \ (approx)

Hence, Paula starts with 301.5 yarns.

What numbers less than 200 are divisble by 4 but not 12
kolezko [41]

Answer:

There are 48 numbers that satisfy the condition

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the relationship between 3 and 12

3 * 4 = 12

The maximum number of multiples of 12 within 200 is 18.

The maximum number of multiples within 200 is 66.

So the number of numbers within 200 that go exactly into 3 but not exactly into 12 is:

66-18 = 48

For the function F defined by F(x) = x2 – 2x + 4, find F(b+3).
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

\displaystyle F(b + 3) = b^2 + 4b + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the function:

\displaystlye F(x) = x^2 - 2x + 4

And we want to find F(<em>b</em> + 3).

We can substitute:

\displaystyle F(b + 3) = (b + 3)^2 - 2(b+3) + 4

Expand:

\displaystyle = (b^2 + 6b + 9) + (-2b -6) + 4

Rearrange:

\displaystyle = (b^2) + (6b-2b) + (9 - 6 + 4)

Combine like terms. Hence:

\displaystyle = b^2 +4b + 7

In conclusion:

\displaystyle F(b + 3) = b^2 + 4b + 7

During a Middle School basketball season, Antonio made 17 of his free throws out of 20. What percent of his free throws did he m
hram777 [196]

I see a fraction. Don't you. Here it is 17/20. Now, let's divide 17 by 20 to get a decimal number, which is 0.85. Next, we multiply 0.85 by 100 to get the percent because that is what the question desires for us to express our answer. As a result, we get 85%, and Antonio made 85% of his free throws. By the way, I hope my response helps you.
