Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a question worth knowing how to do. It is prime candidate for a test question.

Equation

Let the unit be x

therefore

4x + 5x + 6x = 45

Solution

15x = 45

x = 45/15

x = 3

The shortest piece is 4*3 = 12

The middle piece = 5*3   = 15

The longest piece = 6*3 = 18

Total                                    45

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

So 4:5:6 = 45

4+5+6 = 15

45/15 = 3

Since 4 is the smallest, 4*3 = 12.

Hope this works!

Determine if the two lines with the given slope are parallel, perpendicular, or neither. Circle your
Sati [7]

Answer:

As the lines are neither parallel nor perpendicular.

Therefore, the correct answer is ''neither''.

Hence, option C is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

m₁ = 3/2

m₂ = -3/2

We know that when two lines are parallel, they have equal slopes

But

m₁ ≠ m₂

3/2 ≠ -3/2

As the m₁ and m₂ are not equal.

Hence, the lines are not parallel.

We know that when two lines are perpendicular, the product of their slopes is -1.

Let us check the product of two slopes m₁ and m₂

m₁ × m₂ = 3/2 × -3/2

              = -9/4

              = -2.25

As

m₁ × m₂ ≠ -1

Thus, the lines are not perpendicular.

Conclusion:

As the lines are neither parallel nor perpendicular.

Therefore, the correct answer is ''neither''.

Hence, option C is correct.

An electrician has 4.1 meters of wire how many strips 7/10 m can he cut . How much wire will he have left
kogti [31]
7/10 m= 0.7 m

4.1÷0.7=5.85 

You would round down 5.85 to just 5, because he cannot cut less than a whole strip.

To find the exact amount of wire used in 5 strips:

5×0.7= 3.5

4.1-3.5= 0.6 m will be leftover.
