Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

3 out of 2 can be represented as 3/2 which simplified is 1.5, This statement is saying that out of 1 person, 1.5 of them have trouble with fractions which isn't possible because 2/2 is the whole amount, so anything above 2/2 is simply not possible in this scenario

The length of a living room is 12 feet and its width is 1012 feet. The length of the room is being expanded by x feet. Choose an

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

Option C. 10.5(12 + x) square feet

Option E. (126 + 10.5x) square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the area of the original living room

we know that

The area of the original living room is equal to

$A=LW$

we have

$L=12\ ft\\W=10\frac{1}{2}\ ft=10.5\ ft$

substitute

$A=(12)(10.5)=126\ ft^2$

step 2

Find the new area of the living room

The length of the room is being expanded by x feet

we have

$L=(12+x)\ ft\\W=10.5\ ft$

The new area is

$A=10.5(12+x)\ ft^2$

The expanded form of the expression is

Apply distributive property

$A=10.5(12)+10.5(x)\\A=(126+10.5x)\ ft^2$

Henry ran five races, each of which was a different positive integer number of

dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

10 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of miles on Henry's longest race.

We have been given that Henry ran five races, each of which was a different positive integer number of miles.

We can set an equation for the average of races as:

$\frac{\text{The sum distances of 5 races}}{5}=4$

As distance covered in each race is a different positive integer, so let his first four races be 1, 2, 3, 4.

Now let us substitute the distances of 5 races as:

$\frac{1+2+3+4+x}{5}=4$

$\frac{10+x}{5}=4$

Let us multiply both sides of our equation by 5.

$\frac{10+x}{5}*5=4*5$

$10+x=20$

Let us subtract 10 from both sides of our equation.

$10-10+x=20-10$

$x=10$

Therefore, the maximum possible distance of Henry's longest race is 10 miles.

Hyun Woo is riding a ferris wheel. H t H(t) models his height (in m m) above the ground, t t seconds after the ride starts. Here

worty [1.4K]

Answer:

53 seconds.

Explanation:

The text and the model are garbled.

This is the question amended:

Hyun Woo is riding a ferris wheel. H(t) models his height (in m) above the ground, t seconds after the ride starts. Here, t is entered in radians.

H(t) = -10 cos(2π/150 t)+10

When does Hyun Woo first reach a height of 16 m?

<h2>Solution</h2>

When Hyun Woo reaches a height of 16 m the model states:

16 = -10 cos(2π/150 t)+10

Then you must find the lowest positive value of t that is a solution of the equation.

Solve the equation:

16 = -10 cos(2π/150 t)+10

10cos(2π/150 t) = - 6

cos(2π/150t) = -0.6

2π/150t = arccos(-0.6)

2π/150t = 2.214297

t = 52.86s ≈ 53 s ← answer
