Answer:

2/9 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Felicity cuts 27 equal strips from a 6-yard spool of ribbon. Which expressions show the number of yards for one strip of ribbon

From the above question:

27 equal strips of ribbon = 6 yards of spool

1 strip of ribbon = x yards

Cross Multiply

27 strips of ribbon × x yards = 6 yards × 1 strip of ribbon

x yards = 6/27

x yards = 2/9 yards

Therefore, for 1 strip of ribbon we need 2/9 yards

What is the perimeter, P, of a rectangle that has a length of x + 6 and a width of y - 1?

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer: P = 2x + 2y + 10

Step-by-step explanation: The perimeter (P) of a rectangle is given as

P = 2L + 2W

By factorizing the right hand side of the equation we now have

P = 2(L + W)

However, the length of the rectangle is given as x + 6 and the width is given as y - 1

If P = 2(L + W), then

P = 2(x + 6 + {y - 1} )

P = 2(x + 6 + y -1)

P = 2(x + y + 5)

After expanding the bracket, we now have

P = 2x + 2y + 10

A ball is dropped from a height of 192 inches onto a level floor. After the third bounce it is still 3 inches off the ground. Pr

ANEK [815]

Answer: The required fraction = $\dfrac18$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the required fraction = $\dfrac{p}{q}$

Given: Initial height = 192 inches

Height of ball after second bounce = $\dfrac{p}{q}\times192$

Height of ball after third bounce = $\dfrac{p}{q}\times\dfrac{p}{q}\times192=192\dfrac{p^2}{q^2}$

After the third bounce it is 3 inches off the ground.

So,

$(\dfrac{p}{q})^2192=3\\\\\\(\dfrac{p}{q})^2=\dfrac{3}{192}\\\\(\dfrac{p}{q})^2=\dfrac{1}{64}\\\\(\dfrac{p}{q})^2=(\dfrac{1}{8})^2\\\\ \dfrac{p}{q}=\dfrac{1}{8}$

Hence, The required fraction = $\dfrac18$
