Cathy has 10 feet of ribbon that she wants to use to make bows. She needs 2/3 foot of ribbon for each bow. She also needs to use

16 inches of the ribbon for another project. How many bows will she able to make with the amount of ribbon that is left?

13 bows is the correct answer because:

10 feet=120 inches
2/3 foot= 8 inches
so 120-16 is 104 and that divided by 8 is 13.

Multiply 6/5 by the reciprocal of (-3/8)

weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

-48/15, simplified to -16/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The reciprocal of -3/8 is -8/3. So the equation will be 6/5 x -8/3. Multiply numerators then multiply denominators to get -48/15. This can simplify to -16/5 by dividing both by 3.

Hey there, hope I can help!

$\mathrm{Apply\:the\:Product\:Rule}: \left(f\cdot g\right)^'=f^'\cdot g+f\cdot g^'$
$f=x,\:g=\sqrt{x+6} \ \textgreater \ \frac{d}{dx}\left(x\right)\sqrt{x+6}+\frac{d}{dx}\left(\sqrt{x+6}\right)x \ \textgreater \ \frac{d}{dx}\left(x\right) \ \textgreater \ 1$

$\frac{d}{dx}\left(\sqrt{x+6}\right) \ \textgreater \ \mathrm{Apply\:the\:chain\:rule}: \frac{df\left(u\right)}{dx}=\frac{df}{du}\cdot \frac{du}{dx} \ \textgreater \ =\sqrt{u},\:\:u=x+6$
$\frac{d}{du}\left(\sqrt{u}\right)\frac{d}{dx}\left(x+6\right)$

$\frac{d}{dx}\left(x\right)+\frac{d}{dx}\left(6\right)$

$\frac{d}{dx}\left(x\right) \ \textgreater \ 1$
$\frac{d}{dx}\left(6\right) \ \textgreater \ 0$

$\frac{1}{2\sqrt{u}}\cdot \:1 \ \textgreater \ \mathrm{Substitute\:back}\:u=x+6 \ \textgreater \ \frac{1}{2\sqrt{x+6}}\cdot \:1 \ \textgreater \ Simplify \ \textgreater \ \frac{1}{2\sqrt{x+6}}$

$1\cdot \sqrt{x+6}+\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x+6}}x \ \textgreater \ Simplify$

$1\cdot \sqrt{x+6} \ \textgreater \ \sqrt{x+6}$
$\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x+6}}x \ \textgreater \ \frac{x}{2\sqrt{x+6}}$
$\sqrt{x+6}+\frac{x}{2\sqrt{x+6}}$

$\mathrm{Convert\:element\:to\:fraction}: \sqrt{x+6}=\frac{\sqrt{x+6}}{1} \ \textgreater \ \frac{x}{2\sqrt{x+6}}+\frac{\sqrt{x+6}}{1}$

$\frac{x+2\left(x+6\right)}{2\sqrt{x+6}}$

$x+2\left(x+6\right) \ \textgreater \ 2\left(x+6\right) \ \textgreater \ 2\cdot \:x+2\cdot \:6 \ \textgreater \ 2x+12 \ \textgreater \ x+2x+12$
$3x+12$

Therefore the derivative of the given equation is
$\frac{3x+12}{2\sqrt{x+6}}$

Jimmy has a diecast metal car that is a scale model of an actual race car. If the actual length of the car is 10 feet 6 inches a

kirill115 [55]

The scale factor would be -8 because...

126 inches / 7 inches = 8 inches.

Because the car is bigger than the scale, it would be a negative scale factor.
