Ms. brown's class will raise rabbits for their spring science fair. they have 24 feet of fencing with which to build a rectangul

ar rabbit pen in which to keep the rabbits. if ms. brown's students want their rabbits to have as much room as possible, how long would each of the sides of the pen be?how long would each of the sides of the pen be if they had only 16 feet of fencing?

Each side of the fence should have 6 feet if they have 24 feet and if they have 16 feet then each side will be 4 feet long.

A bank manager wants to encourage new customers to open accounts with principals of at least $3,000. He decides to make a poster
ankoles [38]

Assuming that the 4.8% interest rate is an annual interest rate, then, after one year, with a principal of $3,000 we would be able to win 4.8% of $3000:

3000\times\frac{4.8}{100}=144

Divide 144 over 12 to find the monthly earnings:

\frac{144}{12}=12

Therefore, with a principal of $3,000 we would be earning $12 interest in 1 month.

For the earnings on the first month to be equal to $10, then you would have to win $120 annually, and $120 must be 4.8% of the principal. To find which quantity satisfies that 4.8% of it is equal to $120, divide 120 over 4.8%:

\frac{120}{4.8\text{ \%}}=\frac{120}{(4.8/100)}=\frac{100}{4.8}\times120=2500

Therefore, the principal must be equal to $2500 for you to win $10 on the first month, and it would indeed be correct to say that if you open an account with $3000 you will earn at least $10 interest in 1 month.

You roll a 6-sided die.
Lerok [7]

Answer:

\huge\boxed{\text{P(not factor of 35) = } \frac{2}{3}}

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use basic probability to find the probability that this roll is not a factor of 35.

First off, we know that with a six sided die there are 6 possible things we can roll.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6

Now, what are the factors of 35? The factors of 35 will be any whole number that can be multiplied by another whole number to get 35.

  • We know 1 \cdot 35 = 35, so two factors are 1 and 35.
  • We know 5 \cdot 7 = 35, so two factors are 5 and 7.

Therefore, the factors of 35 are 1, 5, 7, 35.

Both 5 and 7 are inside the range of 1-6. So the probability of rolling a side that's a factor of 35 will be  \frac{2}{6} = \frac{1}{3} since there are two factors and 6 possible options.

This means, logically, there is a  \frac{4}{6} = \frac{2}{3}  chance of not rolling a factor of 35.

Hope this helped!

A gardener wants to create a rectangular vegetable garden in a backyard. She wants it to have a total area of 120 square feet, a
erastova [34]
Comment
This is an area problem. The key words are 120 square feet and 12 feet longer.
And of course width is a key word when you are reading this.

Formula
Area = L * W

Givens
W = W
L = W + 12

Substitute and Solve
Area = L* W
120 = W*(W + 12)
W^2 + 12W = 120 square feet
w^2 + 12w - 120 = 0

This does not factor easily. I would have thought that a graph might help but not if the dimension has to be to the nearest 1/100 of a foot. The only thing we can do is use the quadratic formula.

a = 1
b = 12
c = - 120

w = [ -b +/- sqrt(b^2 - 4ac) ]/(2a)
w = [-12 +/- sqrt(12^2 - 4*(1)(-120)] / 2*1
w = [-12 +/- sqrt(144 - (-480)]/2
w = [-12 +/- sqrt(624)] / 2
w = [- 12 +/- 24.979992] / 2 The minus root has no meaning whatever.
w = (12.979992) / 2
w = 6.489995 I'll round all this when I get done

L = w + 12
L = 6.489995 + 12
L = 18.489995

check
Area = L * W
Area = 6.489995*18.489995
Area = 119.999935 The difference is a rounding error

Answer
L = 18.489995 = 18.49 feet
W = 6.489995 = 6.49 feet

Note: in the check if you round first to the answer, LW = 120.0001 when you find the area for the check. Kind of strange how that nearest 1/100th makes a difference.

Solve y + -7 = 13 ?
ratelena [41]
Well first off if you have a negative sign in front of the seven, DO NOT have a plus sign because it will be confusing. So y-7=13? , You add 7 to 13 and = 20, so y= 20

Please help 6th grade math im new to it pleaae explain good​
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

0.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the trapezoid formula:

1/2(b1+b2/2)xH

We are given the numbers for the trapezoid:

0.3,0.9,1

To solve this here is what we are going to do.

1/2(0.9+0.3)x1

So add 0.9+0.3=1.2

Then Divide 1.2/2=0.6

So multiply 0.6 x 1=0.6

0.6 is your answer
