Answer:

42.95 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are tasked with calculating the distance around the dance hall that is the greatest.

Now, to answer this, we must have at the back of our mind that the dance hall is circular in shape. Thus, the greatest distance that could arise is the distance from one edge of the dance hall to the other end of the dance passing exactly through the center of the dance hall.

This distance described above is the diameter of the dance hall.

Notice we were given a length in the question? This length refers to the circumference around the circular dance hall.

Reframing then question, we were just told to calculate the diameter of a circle given the circumference of the circle.

Mathematically, circumference C of a circle = 2 * pi * r

Recall, mathematically also 2r = D

so we can say C = pi * D

Using the value of 22/7 for pi and the value of the circumference in the question, we have;

135 = 22/7 * D

D = (7 * 135)/22

D = 42.95 feet

Answer: 43feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter= 135 feet

Since perimeter= 2πr

135 = 2πr

Recall that π = 3.14

135 = 2 × 3.14 × r

135 = 6.28 × r

135 = 6.28r

r = 135/6.28

r = 21.5

d = 2r

d = 2 × 21.5

d = 43 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Every answer besides B. has an input that repeats. A function contains inputs that have exactly one output. This means x values cannot have more than one y value.

You want to place a towel bar that is 10 1⁄4 inches long in the center of a door that is 26 1⁄3 inches wide. How far should you

attashe74 [19]

The bar should be 8 1/24 from the each edge of the door.

We need to subtract 10 1/4 from 26 1/3 to get the fraction of the space not covered by the towel bar.
We also need to divide the difference by 2 because we placed the towel bar in the center of the door.

1st we need to convert the mixed fractions into fractions to perform subtraction.
26 1/3 = ((26*3)+1)/3 = 79/3
10 1/4 = ((10*4)+1)/4 = 41/4

Steps in Subtracting Fractions
Step 1. Make sure the denominator is the same. 3 and 4 are the denominators, they are not the same but they are factor of 12. So,
79/3 must be multiplied by 4 = 79 * 4 / 3 * 4 = 316 / 12
41/4 must be multiplied by 3 = 41 * 3 / 4 * 3 = 123 / 12

Step 2. Subtract the numerators and place them above the common denominator
316/12 - 123/12 = 316 - 123 / 12 = 193 / 12

Before we can simplify the fraction, we must divide it by two to get the measurement of each edge of the door.

Steps in dividing fractions.
Step 1. Get the reciprocal of the 2nd fraction.
1st fraction : 193 / 12
2nd fraction : 2 /1 ⇒ reciprocal 1/2

Step 2. Multiply the 1st fraction to the reciprocal of the 2nd fraction
193 / 12 * 1/2 = 193 * 1 / 12 * 2 = 193 / 24

Step 3. Simplify the fraction.
193 / 24 = 8 1/24

8. A substance has a half life of 2.347 minutes.

mina [271]

Answer:

a.) 4 half lives have passed

b) 9.388 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for exponential growth / decay is given as:

$A=A_0b^{\frac{t}{c}}$

Where $A$ is the final population

$A_0$ is the initial population

$b$ is the growth factor

$c$ is the time taken for the growth 'b'

$t$ is the amount of time

Here, we are given that:

$A$ = 6. 9 grams

$A_0$ = 110.4 grams

$b = \dfrac{1}{2}$

$c = 2.347$ min

To find:

a.) Number of half lives taken for the decay.

b.) Total time in the decay.

Solution:

a.) Number of half lives taken for the decay is nothing but equal to $\frac{t}{c}$ .

Putting the values in the formula, we get:

$6.9=110.4\times \frac{1}2^{\frac{t}{c}}\\\Rightarrow 6.9=110.4\times 0.5^{\frac{t}{c}}\\\Rightarrow 0.0625=0.5^{\frac{t}{c}}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{t}{c} =4$

Therefore, the answer is:

<em>4 half lives </em>have passed.

b.) Total time of decay. We have to find the value of $t$ here.

From answer of part a.):

$\dfrac{t}{c} =4\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{t}{2.347} =4\\\Rightarrow t =\bold{9.388\ min}$
