Pieces of yarn .... 1/8 yard long (each)
a piece of yarn ... n = 3 yards long
remaining ... 1 1/4 yards = 5/4 yards
If you would like to calculate how many 1/8 yard pieces can Sarah cut and still have 1 1/4 yards left, you can do this using the following steps:
n - 1 1/4 = <span>3 - 1 1/4 </span>= 3 - 5/4 = 12/4 - 5/4 = 7/4 = 1 3/4 yards
7/4 / 1/8 = 7/4 * 8/1 = 14 pieces
Result: Sarah can cut 14 1/8 yard pieces and still have 1 1/4 yards left.
15/60 reduces to 1/4 <====
Answer:
A) 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
A graph of a function.
When we analyze the given graph, it is of a <em>parabola</em>.
To find:
The interval of values of
where the function is increasing.
Solution:
First of all, let us learn about the meaning of increasing and decreasing functions.
1. A function
is known as increasing in an interval
when
Value of y keeps on increasing when we move from the value of x from a to b.
2. A function
is known as decreasing in an interval
when
Value of y keeps on decreasing when we move from the value of x from a to b.
On analyzing the given graph , we can see that the graph is decreasing on the interval:
and is increasing on the interval: 
When we choose from the options,
The correct answer is option A) 
Answer:
8 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data
Area= 64 square feet
Base= x feet
Height= x+8 feet
The expression for the area
A= 1/2b*h
substitute
64= 1/2*x*(x+8)
64= 1/2*x^2+8x
64= (x^2+8x)/2
cross multiply
64*2= x^2+8x
128= x^2+8x
rearrange
x^2+8x-128= 0
using the quadratic formula
a=1
b=8
c=-128
x= -b±√b^2-4ac/2a
x= -1±√8^2-4*1*-128/2*1
simplifying
x= 8
x=-16
Hence the height of the base is
h= 8 feet
