Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width of the mechanical pencil lead be w_m and the width of a human hair be w_h. We are trying to find the number of widths of pieces of hair (let that be n) that make it equal to the width of a mechanical pencil lead, so we write the equation w_m=n*w_h. Hopefully, writing an equation makes this easier to understand!

Now, I want n, so I divide be w_h on both sides, substitute, and get that n = w_m/w_h = (7*10^-4)/(1*10^-4)

The 10^-4’s cancel, so we get n = 7/1 = 7.

I hope this helps! :)

A skateboarding ramp is 13in. high and rises at an angle of 13°. How long is the base of the ramp? Round to the nearest inch.
charle [14.2K]
<h3>Answer:  Approximately 56 inches</h3>

===========================================================

Explanation:

The diagram is shown below. We know the vertical part of the triangle is 13 inches, which is the side opposite the reference angle 13 degrees. The adjacent side is unknown. We'll call it x. This is how long the base of the ramp is, which is the horizontal distance along the entire ramp. This distance is on the ground. The ramp itself is the hypotenuse but it seems like your teacher isn't wanting to know this value. So we'll ignore the hypotenuse.

We'll use the tangent rule to connect the opposite and adjacent sides.

tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent

tan(13) = 13/x

x*tan(13) = 13

x = 13/tan(13)

x = 56.309186365694

x = 56 inches is the approximate horizontal distance underneath the ramp

X/3 +2y/3= -1 and x-y/3=9 solve. by elimination method​
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

X=51/7, Y= -36/7

Step-by-step explanation:

X/3 + 2y/3 = -1 equ 1

X - y/3 = 9 equ 2

eliminate X/3.

X/3 + 2y/3 = -1..... x 1 ( co-efficient of X in equ2 )

X - y/3 = 9 ...... x 1/3 ( co-efficient of X in equ1 )

X/3 + 2y/3 = - 1 equ 3

-

X/3 - y/9 = 3 equ 4

0 + 7y/9 = -4

y = -36/7

( input the value of y into equ 4 )

X/3 -y/9 = 3

X/3 - (-36/7)/9 = 3

X/3 + 36/63 = 3

X/3 = 3 - 36/63

X/3 = 153/63

63X = 459

X = 459/63

X = 51/7.

6m−7)⋅4=left parenthesis, 6, m, minus, 7, right parenthesis, dot, 4, equals ¿Atorado?
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

24m - 28

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression (6m−7)⋅4, we are to simplify it. Using the distributive law;

A(B+C) = AB + AC [A is distributed over B and C]

For the expression (6m−7)⋅4, we will distribute 4 over 6m and -7 as shown;

(6m−7)⋅4 = 4(6m) - 4(7)

(6m−7)⋅4 = 24m - 28

Hence (6m−7)⋅4 = 24m - 28

If the degree measure of an angle is 40° less than 3 times the degree measure of its supplementary angle, what is the degree mea
pishuonlain [190]
Let the measure of the unknown angle is x °
Supplementary angles sum up to 180°. So the supplementary angle of x° will be (180 - x)°

According to the given data, measure of x is 40° less than 3 times the measure of its supplementary angle (180 - x). So we can set up the equation for this scenario as:

x = 3(180 - x ) - 40 \\  \\ &#10;x = 540 - 3x - 40 \\  \\ &#10;x + 3x = 500 \\  \\ &#10;4x = 500 \\  \\ &#10;x = 125

So the degree measure of the required angle is 125°.
