Answer:

60 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 12 inches in 1 foot, therefore the ratio of inches to feet is 12:1.

If the alligator is 5 feet than the amount of inches increase.

In order to find how long the alligator is in inches, multiply 5 by 12

5 x 12 = 60

<h3>Answer: 14x - 8</h3>

=======================================================

Explanation:

I'll use the quadratic formula to find the roots or x intercepts. This slight detour allows us to factor without having to use guess-and-check methods.

The equation is of the form ax^2+bx+c = 0

a = 12
b = -11
c = -5

This leads to...

$x = \frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\x = \frac{-(-11)\pm\sqrt{(-11)^2-4(12)(-5)}}{2(12)}\\\\x = \frac{11\pm\sqrt{361}}{24}\\\\x = \frac{11\pm19}{24}\\\\x = \frac{11+19}{24} \ \text{ or } \ x = \frac{11-19}{24}\\\\x = \frac{30}{24} \ \text{ or } \ x = \frac{-8}{24}\\\\x = \frac{5}{4} \ \text{ or } \ x = -\frac{1}{3}$

Now use those roots to form these steps

$x = \frac{5}{4} \ \text{ or } \ x = -\frac{1}{3}\\\\4x = 5 \ \text{ or } \ 3x = -1\\\\4x - 5 =0 \ \text{ or } \ 3x+1 = 0\\\\(4x-5)(3x+1) = 0$

Refer to the zero product property for more info.

Therefore, the original expression factors fully to (4x-5)(3x+1)

Use the FOIL rule to expand it out and you should get 12x^2-11x-5 again.

----------------------------------------------

We did that factoring so we could find the side lengths of the rectangle.

I'm using the fact that area = length*width

L = length = 4x-5
W = width = 3x+1

The order of length and width doesn't matter.

From here, we can then compute the perimeter of the rectangle

P = 2(L+W)

P = 2(4x-5+3x+1)

P = 2(7x-4)

P = 14x - 8

What is the probability that 2 randomly selected months have 31 days?

aniked [119]

Answer:

31.8%

Step-by-step explanation:There are 7 months that have 31 days so,

The odds the first selected month has 31 days is 7/12

The next month there are only 6 months left with 31 days of only 11 months to choose from

so the odds for the second are 6/11

To calculate the odds they BOTH have 31 months you multiply the two odds:

(7/12) x (6/11) = 42/132 = .318 so 31.8%

here are approximately 3.6 million births in a country each year. Find the birth rate in units of births per minute.

Hatshy [7]

Answer:

6.8 approximately 7 births/mins

Step-by-step explanation:

3600000/525600

If we have 3600000 births in a year, and in a year we have 6omin * 24hrs*365days a year we therefore, have the equation below

Amount of births in a year / (amount of mins in a year)

= 6.8births per mins
