1b. 80 foot-long rope is cut into 3 pieces.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Tems11 [23]3 years ago
3 0

Answer: 53.34 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the second piece of rope be x.

The first piece of rope is half as long as the second piece of rope. This will be: = x/2.

The third piece is three times as long as the second piece of rope. This will be: = 3 × x = 3x

Therefore,

x + 0.5x + 3x = 80

4.5x = 80

x = 80/4.5

x = 17.78 feet

The length of the longest piece of rope will be:

= 3 × x

= 3 × 17.78

= 53.34 feet

James is buying a table.He finds the same table for sale in two different shops.
mina [271]

"Table World" is quoting a better price

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

The shop "Table World" is quoting a price of 140 inclusive of 17.5% VAT

that means 140 is the final price a customer needs to pay.

                       

While other shop"Tables R us" is quoting a price of 120 without VAT

so we need to add VAT in the price to find out the final price

                                           price+VAT on the price

                                          =120+120*(17.5/100)

                                          =120+120*0.175

                                          =120+21

               so final price      =141

so comparatively "Table World" is quoting a better price

An angelfish was 1 1/2 inches long when it was bought. Now it is 2 1/3 inches long.
____ [38]

A)

Earlier, The length of the angelfish  = 1 \frac{1}{2} inches

Now, the length of angelfish = 2 \frac{1}{3} inches

We have to determine the grown length of angelfish

=  2 \frac{1}{3} -  1 \frac{1}{2}

= \frac{7}{3}- \frac{3}{2}

LCM of '2' and '3' is '6',

= \frac{14-9}{6}

= \frac{5}{6} inch

Therefore, the angelfish has grown by \frac{5}{6} inch.

B)

We have to determine the increased length of angelfish in feet.

Since 1 inch = \frac{1}{12} foot

So, \frac{5}{6} inch = \frac{5}{6} \times \frac{1}{12} = \frac{5}{72}

= 0.069 foot.
