This question is incomplete, the complete question is;
Nine pieces of 8-in. × 12-in. duct that is 2
ft in length is needed for a building. What is the total length (in ft) needed?
Answer:
the total length needed is 24 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the data in the question;
the length of one piece of 8-in. × 12-in. duct is 2 ft
Now to find the total length for nine pieces of the duct;
we simple multiply 2 ft by nine
so
Total length = 9 × 2
we convert the mixed fraction to improper fraction
2 = 8/3
so
Total length = 9 × (8/3) ft
Total length = 24 ft
Therefore, the total length needed is 24 ft
Im pretty sure the value of x in this equation is -3 because -3 plus 5 would equal 2.
If it is to the tenth, then you have to look at the hundredth place, if the number in the hundredth place is over 5 or 5, then you have to make the number in the tenth place move up one digit if it isn't over 5 or 5, then you don't do anything
I'm sure there's an easier way of solving it than the way I did, but I'm not sure what it could be. Never dealt with a problem like this before.
Anyway, I just plugged in and tested. Chose random values for a, b, c, and d, which follow the rule 0 < a < b < c < d:
a = 1
b = 2
c = 3
d = 4
Simplify into standard form:
Use the quadratic formula to solve:
For functions in the form of
. So in this case:
a = 1
b = -4
c = 2
Plug them in:
Solve for 'x':
So the answer would be A.
4/5 and 40/50 are both equivalent
