Answer:

She typed 32 words in her letter

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that the letter has x words

∵ She typed x words in her letter

∵ She misspelled 8 words

∵ She misspelled 25% of the words she typed

∴ She misspelled 25% of x

→ That means 8 is equivalent to 25% of x

∴ 25% of x = 8

∴ 25% × x = 8

→ Change 25% to decimal by divide it by 100

∵ 25% = 25 ÷ 100 = 0.25

∴ 0.25 × x = 8

∴ 0.25x = 8

→ Divide both sides by 0.25

∵ \frac{0.25x}{0.25} = \frac{8}{0.25}

∴ x = 32

∵ x represents the number of words that she typed in the letter

∴ She typed 32 words in her letter

The area of Tracy's backyard is 1 1/3 acres she plants a garden that take up 1/3 of the backyard what area in acres of the garde
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

\frac{4}{9}\ acres

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

we know that

The area of Tracy's backyard is 1\frac{1}{3}\ acres

Convert to an improper fraction

1\frac{1}{3}=\frac{3*1+1}{3}=\frac{4}{3}\ acres

step 2

To find the area of the garden, multiply the area of the backyard by 1/3

so

\frac{4}{3}(\frac{1}{3})=\frac{4}{9}\ acres

Edward is collecting data on the average length of lizards from head to tail for a particular generation. Initially, the average
Zina [86]

Answer:

The general form of a natural logarithmic function is <em>f(x)=a In(x-h) +k.</em> Since the initial average length of the lizards was 20 centimeters, one possible point (h+1,k) through which the function passes is (0,20).

In this case, h= -1 since h +1 = 0 and k = 20.

It follows that x - h = (-1) = x + 1.

So, the function takes the form <em>f(x) = a In(x + 1) +20. </em>

The average length of the lizards after 2 years is 22.197. So f(2) =22.197. We substitute this value into the function

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>f(2) = a In(2 +1) +20 </em>

<em>22.197 = a In(3) + 20 </em>

<em></em>\frac{2.197}{1.099}<em>≈ a </em>

<em>2 ≈ a</em>

So the function that represents the average length of the lizards across this generation is <em>f(x) = 2 In(x+1) +20 </em>

Stefan purchases materials to make dog collars. Stefan purchases 10 buckles in a pack and 12 straps in a pack. Stefan doesn't wa
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming it take 1 buckle and 1 strap per collar, that means we just need to find the lowest common multiple of these 10-pack buckles and 12-pack straps.

For 10: 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, "60", 70, 80, 90, 100...

For 12: 0, 12, 24, 36, 48, "60", 72, 84, 96, 108, 120...

From this, it is obvious that 60 is the lowest common multiple of these two numbers. Therefore, we know that Stefan can make dog collars without having leftover supplies by using 6 10-pack buckles and 5 12-pack straps.

From this, we know that Stefan does not need to buy 120 of either the buckles or the straps.
