Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since each bag is 1/3 of a pound. That means there are 3 bags that make 1 pound. Therefore 15x3 is 45, so you could make 45 bags of coffee

Compare the perimeters of the two regular figures. Which statement is true?

adell [148]

Answer:

(A). The perimeter of the octagon is greater than that of the hexagon.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, hexagon consists of 6 sides and 6 angles, thus the measure of one angle of the hexagon will be= $\frac{(n-2){\timeS}180^{\circ}}{6}$

= $\frac{(6-2){\timeS}180^{\circ}}{6}$

= $\frac{(4){\timeS}180^{\circ}}{6}$

= $120^{\circ}$

Now, since MQ is the angle bisector of the one of the angle of the hexagon, therefore ∠QMP=60°.

Now, from ΔQMP. we have

$\frac{MP}{MQ}=cos60^{\circ}$

$MP=\frac{1}{2}$

Thus, the perimeter of the hexagon is:

$P=12{\times}MP$

$P=12{\times}\frac{1}{2}$

$P=6 units$

Thus, the perimeter of hexagon is 6 units.

Also, Since, octagon consists of 8 sides and 8 angles, thus the measure of one angle of the octagon will be= $\frac{(n-2){\timeS}180^{\circ}}{8}$

= $\frac{(8-2){\timeS}180^{\circ}}{8}$

= $\frac{(6){\timeS}180^{\circ}}{8}$

= $135^{\circ}$

Now, since AP is the angle bisector of the one of the angle of the octagon, therefore ${\angle}PAC=cos\frac{135}{2}$ .

From ΔAPC, we have

$AC=cos\frac{135}{2}$

Now, Perimeter of octagon is:

$P=16{\times}cos\frac{135}{2}$

$P=16{\times}0.382$

$P=6.122 units$

Thus, the perimeter of octagon is 6.122 units.

Now, the perimeter of octagon is greater than perimeter of the hexagon, thus option A is correct that is The perimeter of the octagon is greater than that of the hexagon.

Question: When you do adding fractions, do you have to find a common demoniter? *sorry for misspelling*

docker41 [41]

Answer: yes when your adding or subtracting fractions you must find the common denominator between the two before you continue.

Step-by-step explanation:

Example: 2/4+3/2

Find the common denominator. ( in this case the common denominator is 4)

We keep the first fraction as it is cause it has the denominator 4 and we multiply the second fraction by 2 up and down to get a denominator of 4. The equation becomes 2/4+6/4

Now you add the numerators and you got your answer ( don’t forget to simplify)

The answer after adding in this case is 8/4 and when simplified it is 2

20 feet of ribbon, cutting ribbon into 7 1/2 inches or 6 3/4 inch lengths to make bracelets. Write an algebraic expression that

IRINA_888 [86]

ANSWER:

The algebraic expression for number of ribbons is $\frac{20 \text { feet }-\left\{\frac{20 \text { feet }}{x}\right\}}{x}$ and the algebraic expression for length of ribbon is $\frac{25 x}{3} \text { feet }$

SOLUTION:

Given, 20 feet of ribbon, cutting ribbon into $7\frac{1}{2}$ inches or $6\frac{3}{4}$ inch lengths to make bracelets.

Let us convert the mixed fraction to improper fractions.

$7 \frac{1}{2}=\frac{7 \times 2+1}{2}=\frac{15}{2} \text { and } 6 \frac{3}{4}=\frac{6 \times 4+3}{4}=\frac{27}{4}$

Let, the length of bracelets can be made be “x”

First we have to remove the excess length of ribbon and then we have to divide the remaining with length of bracelet we want.

$\text { number of ribbons }=\frac{\text { length of ribbon-excess ribbon.}}{\text {length of bracelet}}$

$\left.=\frac{20 \text { feet }-\left\{\frac{20 \text { feep }}{x}\right.}{x} \text { [we know that, }\{x\} \text { is fractional part of } x\right$ ]

So, the algebraic expression for number of ribbons is $\frac{20 \text { feet }-\left\{\frac{20 \text { feet }}{x}\right\}}{x}$

Now, let us find the algebraic expression for feet of ribbon to make 100 ribbons.

We have 100 bracelets of length x, then total length = 100 × x

length of ribbon = 100x inches

$\begin{array}{l}{=100 \mathrm{x} \times \frac{1}{12} \text { feet }} \\\\ {=\frac{25 x}{3} \text { feet }}\end{array}$

So, the algebraic expression for length of ribbon is $\frac{25 x}{3} \text { feet }$

Hence, the algebraic expression for number of ribbons is $\frac{20 \text { feet }-\left\{\frac{20 \text { feet }}{x}\right\}}{x}$ and the algebraic expression for length of ribbon is $\frac{25 x}{3} \text { feet }$

Identify the constant of proportionality (k) 8Y = 16x k=

RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

JUST WRITE THIS AS YOUR ANSWER

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Put together the general equation.

Step 2: Solve for the constant of proportionality.

Step 3: Plugging the constant into the equation, solve for the unknown variable.

Let's solve a few problems to see how this works, shall we?

Example 1: Y is directly proportional to x. When x = 5, y = 8. What does y equal when x = 9?

First, we set up our general equation. Because y is directly proportional to x, we have:

y = cx

where c is the constant of proportionality. In other words, when x goes up, y goes up, and when x goes down, y goes down.

The next thing we do is plug our values for x and y into the equation so we can solve for c:

8 = (c)(5)

Solving for c, we get c = 8/5 = 1.6 and we plug this into our equation:

y = 1.6x

Now, we can plug x = 9 into the equation to find out what y equals:

y = (1.6)(9)

y = 14.4

So, our answer is 14.4

Example 2: Y is directly proportional to the square of x. When x = 2, y = 32. What does y equal when x = 5?

This time, our general equation is slightly more complicated because x is squared:

y = cx2

Like before, we solve for our constant:

32 = (c)(22)

32 = (c)(4)

We get c = 8:

y = 8x2

Solving for y when x = 5, we get y = (8)(52) = (8)(25) = 200

Example 3: Y is inversely proportional to x. When x = 2, y = 8. What does y equal when x = 24?

This time, because y is inversely proportional to x, our general equation is different:

xy = c

so when x goes up, y goes down, and vise versa. But, other than that, we solve these kinds of problems the same way as direct proportion problems. Solving for the constant, we get:

(2)(8) = c

So c = 16 and our equation is now:

xy = 16

Solving for y when x = 24 we get y = 16/24 = 2/3

Example 4: Y is inversely proportional to the square root of x. When x = 36, y = 2. What does y equal when x = 64?

As before, we set up our equation:

eq001

Since the square root of 36 is 6, it is easy to solve for c:

(6)(2) = c

We get c = 12 and our equation is now:

eq002

Solving for y when x = 64 we get 8y = 12 or y = 12/8 = 1.5 because the square root of 64 is 8.
