If James measures 5‘4“ tall how tall is James in inches

The weight of gemstones, such as diamonds, rubies, and emeralds, is measured in carats. A carat is a unit of measure equal to 20

Alexxx [7]

We are told in the question that 1 carat is equal to 200 mg.

The Hope Diamond is 44.5 carats. Let's multiply the weight of 1 carat by 44.5 to get the weight of the Hope Diamond in mg:

$\frac{200mg}{1 carat}* \frac{44.5 carats}{1}=8,900 mg$

The total weight of the Hope Diamond is 8,900 mg. However the question asks for the weight in grams. There are 1000 mg in 1 gram, so let's divide the known weight of the Hope Diamond in mg by 1000 to get the weight converted to grams:

$\frac{8,900mg}{1000}=8.9grams$

Now we know that the weight of the Hope Diamond is equal to 8.9 grams.

Question 1,2, and 3 how do i factor those? Can you show the work and explain how?

DiKsa [7]

1: $3n^{2}+9n+6$

notice that each part is divisible by 3

$3n^{2}$ ÷ 3 = $n^{2}$

9n ÷ 3 = 3n

6 ÷ 3 = 2

so it becomes $3(n^{2} +3n+2)$

3n can be rewritten as 2n+n

-you want to rewrite it into two numbers that multiply to the number that's alone (in this case 2)

which would get you

$3(n^{2} +2n+n+2)$

Now that it's rewritten, you can factor out n + 2 from the equation.

the answer is

3(n+2)(n+1)

And you can check that by multiplying (n+2)(n+1) which is $n^{2} +2n+n+2$ and then each of those by 3, which is $3n^{2} +6n+3n+6$ or $3n^{2}+9n+6$ , our origional equation

2: $28+x^{2} -11x$

So I rewrote this as $x^{2} -11x+28$ (it's the same thing, just reordered using the commutative property)

now -11x can be rewritten as -4x-7x

(remember, the two numbers should multiply to equal 28, which is our constant.)

$x^{2} -4x-7x+28$

now we can factor out x from the first expression and -7 from the second

$x(x-4)-7(x-4)$

and lastly you factor out x-4,

which would give you

(x-4)(x-7)

Make sure to check your work and make sure it multiplies to $x^{2} -11x+28$

3: $9x^{2} -12x+4$

The first thing I notice when looking at this problem is that both 9 and 4 are perfect squares. Not only that, but they are the squares of 2 and 3, which are products of -12

So if you rewrite 9 as $3^{2}$ and 4 as $2^{2}$ , the equation becomes

$3^{2} x^{2} -12x+2^{2}$

now that $3^{2} x^{2}$ is ugly so it can be turned into $(3x)^{2}$

and -12x can be rewritten as $-2*3x*2$

so our equation now looks like $(3x)^2-2*3x*2+2^{2}$

There's a rule that says $a^{2} -2ab+b^{2} = (a-b)^{2}$

In our case, a=3x and b=2

so the final answer is

$(3x-2)^2$

The circumference is 12 mile. What is the diameter?

photoshop1234 [79]

To find the diameter of a circle, using only the circumference, you need to divide the circumference by π, or 3.14.

So in this case, you must divide 12 by 3.14, which gives you 3.82.

I even double checked this, and should be correct then.
