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>

Someone help me please!
andriy [413]

Answer:

To solve the first inequality, you need to subtract 6 from both sides of the inequality, to obtain 4n≤12. This can then be cancelled down to n≤3 by dividing both sides by 4. To solve the second inequality, we first need to eliminate the fraction by multiplying both sides of the inequality by the denominator, obtaining 5n>n^2+4. Since this inequality involves a quadratic expression, we need to convert it into the form of an^2+bn+c<0 before attempting to solve it. In this case, we subtract 5n from both sides of the inequality to obtain n^2-5n+4<0. The next step is to factorise this inequality. To factorise we must find two numbers that can be added to obtain -5 and that can be multiplied to obtain 4. Quick mental mathematics will tell you that these two numbers are -4 and -1 (for inequalities that are more difficult to factorise mentally, you can just use the quadratic equation that can be found in your data booklet) so we can write the inequality as (n-4)(n-1)<0. For inequalities where the co-efficient of n^2 is positive and the the inequality is <0, the range of n must be between the two values of n whereby the factorised expresion equals zero, which are n=1 and n=4. Therefore, the solution is 1<n<4 and we can check this by substituting in n=3, which satisfies the inequality since (3-4)(3-1)=-2<0. Since n is an integer, the expressions n≤3 and n<4 are the same. Therefore, we can write the final answer as either 1<n<4, or n>1 and n≤3.

Which of these situations can be modeled by an exponential function?
Gwar [14]

Answer:

B) A herd of lions whose numbers triple every decade.

Step-by-step explanation:

Situations that can be modeled by exponential functions:

A situation can be modeled by exponential functions when the change is a multiplication or a division, not a sum or subtractions.

In this question:

In option A, C and D the measures are a sum or subtractions, as the rate of change is always the same. So it rests option B as the answer, as tripling is multiplying by 3.
