Question 2 (1 point) (11.01 MC) Nina has a piece of fabric measuring 5 yards. How many 1-inch strips can be cut from the fabric?
maw [93]

Answer:

180 strips

Step-by-step explanation:

1 yard = 36 inches

5 yards = x

Cross Multiply

x = 5 × 36 inches

x = 180 inches

Hence:

1 piece of fabric = 180 inches

How many 1-inch strips can be cut from the fabric?

180 inches = 1 piece of fabric

1 inch = x

x = 180 strips

A rectangular flower bed is five feet longer than it is wide. its area is eighty-four square feet.
777dan777 [17]
Lets say w is the width of the flower bed. We can make an equation to find the area.
The length of the of the flower bed is (w+5) and the width is w.
To find the area we need to multiply the length(w+5) by the width(w) and set it equal to 84,
(w+5)(w)=84
w^2 +5w=84
Using the quadratic equation you get the solutions of 7 and -12. Since 7 is positive it is our width. Our length is 7+5 or 12.

Are the graphs of the lines in the pair parallel? Explain. y=2\3x-17 4x-6y=-7
Papessa [141]
<span>y=2\3x-17and  4x-6y=-7 implies  - 6y= - 4x -7, and then y= (-4/-6)x +7/6 and so 
y=2/3x+7/6

but when we have y=ax+b and y=a'x+b', the two lines are parallels if a=a', in our case 2/3=2/3 the lines are parallel
