A 32-ft pipe must be cut into three pieces. The longest piece will be twice as long as the shortest piece, and the medium-sized

piece will be 4 feet longer than the shortest piece. Find the length of each piece of pipe.

Answer:

7, 11, 14 feet from shortest to longest

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say that the shortest pipe is equal to x, and work from there.

The medium size piece is 4 feet longer than the shortest piece, so it is equal to 4+x

The longest piece is twice as long as the shortest piece, so it is equal to 2 * x.

The three pieces added up make up the 32 feet pipe, so we can write this as

(2*x) + (4+x) + x = 32

2*x + 4 + x + x = 32

4 * x + 4 = 32

subtract 4 from both sides to isolate the x and its coefficient

4 * x = 28

divide both sides by 4 to isolate the x

x= 7

Therefore, the shortest piece is x=7 feet long. The medium piece is x+4=11 feet long, and the longest piece is x*2=14 feet long

Mr. Sánchez owns a square field. The side lengths are 0.9 kilometers. There are 1,980 prairie dog burrows in the fields. What is
Simora [160]
The first thing we are going to do is find the area of the field. To do this we are going to use the area of a square formula: A=s^2
Were 
A is the area in square kilometers 
s is one of the sides of the square
We know for our problem that  the side lengths of the field are 0.9 kilometers, so s=0.9. Lets replace that value in our formula to find A:
A=(0.9)^2
A=0.81 

Now, to find the population density of the filed, we are going to use the population density formula: P_{d}= \frac{I}{A}
where
P_{d} is the population density in <span>in burrows per square kilometer
</span>I is the number of burrows 
A is the are of the field
We know that I=1980 and A=0.81, so lets replace those values in our formula:
P_{d}= \frac{1980}{0.81}
P_{d}=2444.4

We can conclude that the <span>density of prairie dog burrows is approximately 2444 burrws per square kilometer.</span>

kati45 [8]

Question:

Morgan is playing a board game that requires three standard dice to be thrown at one time. Each die has six sides, with one of the numbers 1 through 6 on each side. She has one throw of the dice left, and she needs a 17 to win the game. What is the probability that Morgan wins the game (order matters)?

Answer:

1/72

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Morgan can roll a 17 in 3 different ways. The first way is if the first die comes up 5, the second die comes up 6, and the third die comes up 6. The second way is if the first die comes up 6, the second die comes up 5, and the third die comes up 6. The third way is if the first die comes up 6, the second die comes up 6, and the third die comes up 5. For each way, the probability of it occurring is  1/6 x 1/6 x 1/6 = 1/216. Therefore, since there are 3 different ways to roll a 17, the probability that Morgan rolls a 17 and wins the game is  1/216 + 1/216 + 1/216 = 3/216 = 1/72</em>
