Saw a board 5 ft 1 in. Long into six equal pieces. If the loss per cut is 1/5 in., how long will each piece be?

Mathematics

Answer:

The length of each piece is 0.833 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of board, L = 5 ft 1 inch

loss per cut = 1/5 inch

The board should be cut by 5 times to get the 6 pieces.

The loss in 5 cuts = 5 x 1/5 = 1 inch

So, the length of each piece is

L' =\frac{5 ft 1 in - 1in }{6}\\\\L' =\frac{5}{6}\\\\L' = 0.833 ft

Amelia randomly selects two cards, with replacement, from a normal deck of cards. Calculate the probability that: the first card
Lena [83]

Answer:

1 / 2704

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of cards in a deck = 52

9 of clubs in a deck = 1

10 of clubs in a deck = 1

Probability = required outcome / Total possible outcomes

P(9 of club) = 1 / 52

With replacement ;

Then ;

P(10 of club) = 1 / 52

Hence,

P(9 of club, then 10 of club) = 1/52 * 1/52 = 1 / 2704

4x+3y=12
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

B, C, F

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

\left\{\begin{array}{l}4x+3y=12\\ \\2x+3y=-6\end{array}\right.

Subtract the second equation from the first equation:

(4x+3y)-(2x+3y)=12-(-6)\\ \\4x+3y-2x-3y=12+6\\ \\2x=18\\ \\x=9

Option B "The x coordinate of the solution is 9" is ture

Substitute it into the first equation:

4\cdot 9+3y=12\\ \\36+3y=12\\ \\3y=12-36\\ \\3y=-24\\ \\y=-8

Option F "The y coordinate of the solution is -8" is true.

Point (9,-8) is in the IV quadrant, so option C is true.

How do I solve more complicated equations e.g <br> 3 (4a x3) = 4
Elza [17]
3 (4a × 3) = 4     :First, distribute (Multiply the 3 times the 4a and the other 3)

12a × 9 = 4         :Then, divide the whole equation by 9

12a = 4/9             :Then, divide the whole equation by 12

a = 1/27          

(At least, that what I hoped your equation said at the beginning xD)
