Before attempting to solve any problem, make sure that the units are consistent. There are units of feet and inches. To be consistent,let's convert ft to in knowing that there are 12 inches in 1 ft.

9 ft*12 in/1 ft = 108 inches

Now, it also mentions that there are 5 of these. So, the total length would be:
Total Length = 108*5 = 540 inches

Finally, divide the total length to 15 inches.

Number of portions = 540/15 = <em>36 pieces of 15-inch ribbons</em>

Use an algebraic equation to find the measure of each angle that is represented in terms of x.
GuDViN [60]

The measure of each angle is 117°

Explanation:

Given that the two angles are (11x-26)° and (7x+26)°

We need to determine the measure of each angle.

<u>Measure of angles:</u>

From the figure, it is obvious that the two angles are vertically opposite angles.

By definition, we know that, the vertically opposite angles are always equal.

To determine the measure of each angle, we shall first find the value of x.

Thus, we have,

11x-26=7x+26

 4x-26=26

        4x=52

          x=13

Thus, the value of x is 13

Now, substituting x=13 in the angle (11x-26)°, we get,

(11(13)-26)^{\circ}=(143-26)^{\circ}

                    =117^{\circ}

The measure of the angle is 117°

Similarly, substituting x=13 in the angle (7x+26)°, we get,

(7x+26)^{\circ}=(7(13)+26)^{\circ}

               =117^{\circ}

The measure of the angle is 117°

Hence, the measure of each angle is 117°

Can someone explain to me how to round to the nearest 10 dollars?
Leni [432]
Pinpoint the ten's place.
look at the one's place. It is a digit ≥5, round up. If it is digit <5, round down.
all the digits to the right of the ten's place becomes 0.
for example, if you are given $216.23, the ten's place is a 1. Look at the number to the right of it, the one's place is a 6, bigger than 5, so you round up, the 1 becomes a 2. the result is $220.00
if you are given $214.23, the 1 stays a 1 because 4 is smaller than 5, the result is $210.00
