<h3><u>Question:</u></h3>
Serena uses chalk to draw a straight line on the sidewalk. The line is 1/2 ft long. She wants to divide the line into sections that are each 1/8 ft long. How many sections will the line be divided into?
<h3><u>Answer:</u></h3>
The number of sections that the line is divided is 4
<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>
Given that, Serena uses chalk to draw a straight line on the sidewalk
The line is 1/2 ft long. She wants to divide the line into sections that are each 1/8 ft long
From given,
To find: Number of sections can be made
The number of sections that can be made is found by dividing the total length of line by length of each section
Substituting the values, we get,
Thus number of sections that the line is divided is 4
Answer:
21 weeks
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question, we are to use proportionality to find the solution to the question.
We were made to know that the time taken to build the highway is varied directly with the length and inversely with the number of workers.
Let us make a mathematical representation for this.
Let the time be t, number of workers be w and length be l
t is directly proportional to l and inversely proportional to w
Mathematically;
t = kl/w
Where k is the constant of proportionality.
Let’s find the value of k
150 workers built 12 miles of highway in 14 weeks ; plug these in the equation to get k
14 = k * 12/150
k = 150 * 14/12 = 175
Now we want to get t given w and l
from ;
t = kl/w
We can get t; where l = 15 and w = 125
t = 175 * 15/125
t = 21 weeks
A) The least common denominator is 12. Both 4 and 3 go into 12 evenly.
b) The least common denominator is 40. Both 5 and 8 go into 40 evenly.

Supplementary is sum of 180 degrees
x + 96 + 5x = 180 degrees
6x + 96 = 180
6x = 84, x = 14
Solution: x = 14

38 seeds will grow
Step-by-step explanation:
4/5 = 80%
80% = .8
40*0.8 = 32
