Complete question :
A 48 inch board in to be cut into three pieces so that the second piece is twice as long as the first, and the third piece in 3 times as long as the first. If x represents the length of the first, find the lengths of all three
Answer:
Length of first piece = x = 8
Length of second = 2x = 8*2 = 16
Length of third = 3x = 8 * 3 = 24
Step-by-step explanation:
Let :
Length of first piece = x
Length of second = 2x
Length of third = 3x
The total lengtb of board = 48 inches
Hence,
First + second + third = 48
x + 2x + 3x = 48
6x = 48
x = 48 / 6
x = 8
Length of first piece = x = 8
Length of second = 2x = 8*2 = 16
Length of third = 3x = 8 * 3 = 24
It is experimental (aka empirical) because its based on prior data recorded from past games of the current season or prior seasons. Empirical probability is always based on past data. Another example is let's say you flipped a coin 10 times and got 4 tails, so that means the empirical probability of getting tails is 4/10 = 0.4. The theoretical probability is 0.5 if its assumed each side is equally likely to be landed on.
Answer:
z=9/2
Step-by-step explanation:
36-8z=0
36=8z
z=36/8
z=9/2
I'm sure that the hypotenuse is 13 yards
Here's the formula used:
Length of Hypotenuse² = Length of side 1² + Length of side 2²
So here's how to solve this question:
12 squared + 5 squared = hypotenuse
(Then square the values)
144 + 25 = 169
Divide 169 by the square root to get the length of the hypotenuse: 13
Hope this helps!
