Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Maximum capacity of hard drive = 500 GB

Space used up = 58 GB

Size per movie = 8GB

Number of movies = x

1)

[(Number of movies * size per movie) + used up space] should be less than or equal to the maximum capacity to f the drive.

From Elena's inequality, the total space taken up by movies + used up space is greater than total capacity of hard drive.

That is ;

[(8x + 58 ≤ 500

8x ≤ 500 - 58

8x ≤ 442

x ≤ 442 / 8

x ≤ 55.25

The maximum number of movies Elena can download is 55

Isabelle plans to line her flower garden with a decorative border. Her flower bed is 60 inches by 78 inches. The border is sold
andrew11 [14]

Step-by-step explanation:

I guess, the flower bed is a true rectangle, right ?

so, then, the perimeter of that rectangle is

2×length + 2×width = 2×78 + 2×60 = 156 + 120 = 276 in.

1 ft = 12 in

276 in = 23 ft

she can only buy a bundle of 40 ft.

that means she will have

40 - 23 = 17 ft left.

What are the square roots of 100? Check all that apply.
Helga [31]
There are three options which are the square roots of 100, and those are C. -10, D. 10, and F. |10|
C: (-10)^2 = -10 * -10 = 100 (- * - = +)
D: 10 * 10 = 100
F: |10| = 10, and 10 * 10 = 100 (these brackets make a negative number positive, and a positive number stays positive)
