Erica is making feathered caps for her school play. Each cap must have 3 feathers. Write an equation that represents the number

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

$f=3c$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of feathers = $f$

Number of caps = $c$

Number of feathers in each cap = 3

Now, solving by setting up a proportion.

1 cap has 3 feathers. 'c' caps has 'f' feathers.

This gives,

$\dfrac{1}{3}=\dfrac{c}{f}$

Solving by cross multiplication, we get:

$1\times f=3\times c\\\\f=3c$

Therefore, the equation representing the number of feathers 'f' Erica needs to make 'c' caps is given as:

$f=3c$

What are the steps for using a compass and straightedge to construct the bisector of ZA?

romanna [79]

The order of the steps is:

Step 1. is the fifth statement

Step 2. is the first statement

Step 3. is the second statement

Step 4. is the third statement

Step 5. is the fourth statement

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets revise the steps of construct the bisector of ∠ A

Steps:

1. Place the point of the compass on point A and draw an arc that

intersects the sides of ∠A

Label the points of intersection as points B and C

2. Place the point of the compass on point B and draw an arc in the

interior of the angle

3. Without changing the opening of the compass place the point of

the compass on point C and draw another arc in the interior of the

angle

4. Label the intersection of the arcs in the interior of the angle as

Point D

5. Use the straightedge to draw AD ray

From the steps above

The order of the steps is:

Step 1. is the fifth statement

Step 2. is the first statement

Step 3. is the second statement

Step 4. is the third statement

Step 5. is the fourth statement

For what value of x is the equation 8x-2(x-7)=20 true?

sukhopar [10]

Answer:

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

8x - 2(x - 7) = 20 ← distribute parenthesis on left side

8x - 2x + 14 = 20, that is

6x + 14 = 20 ( subtract 14 from both sides )

6x = 6 ( divide both sides by 6 )

x = 1

Samantha has 54 beads. Amanda has twice as many beads as Samantha. They are making bracelets it takes 8 beads to make a bracelet

wlad13 [49]

Answer:

On combining the beads they can make 20 bracelets.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of beads Samantha has = 54 beads

Number of beads Amanda has = 2 x( Number of beads Samantha has)

= 2 x 54 = 108 beads

The total number of beads Amanda and Samantha has

= 54 beads + 108 beads

= 162 beads

Number of beads required to make 1 bracelet = 8 beads

Now, $\textrm{The number of bracelets made} = \frac{\textrm{Total number of beads they both have}}{\textrm{Beads required to make 1 bracelet}}$

= $\frac{162}{8} = 20.25$ ≈ 20

or, the total number of bracelets they can make is 20.

Hence, on combining the beads they can make 20 bracelets .
