Answer:the greatest number of 15 inch the seamstress can cut from 5 of these rolls of ribbon is 36 15-inch pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

The total length of the roll of ribbon is 9 feet. We would convert 9feet to inches. Since

1 foot = 12 inches,

9 feet would be 9×12 = 108 inches.

So the total length of the ribbon is 108 inches. The

The seamstress needs to cut 15 inch pieces of ribbon from a roll of ribbon. The number of 15 inch pieces that she can cut from one roll is 108/15 = 7.2 pieces

the greatest number of 15 inch the seamstress can cut from 5 of these rolls of ribbon would be

7.2×5 = 36 pieces

One number is 6 less than 5 times the other number. Their sum is 60. Find the numbers.
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

The numbers are 11 and 49.

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>x = 5y - 6 </em> This is just the first sentence written as an equation.

<em>x + y = 60</em> This is just the second sentence written as an equation.

<em>5y - 6 + y = 60</em> Substitute x for what you know it is equal to

<em>6y - 6 = 60</em> Collect like terms

<em>6y = 66</em> Add 6 to each side

<em>y = 11</em> Divide each side by 6

<em>x = 5 × 11 - 6 </em> Substitute y for what you know it is

<em>x = 55 - 6</em> Simplify by working out 5 × 11 = 55

<em>x = 49</em> Subtract 6 from 55 to get 49

Mr. Anders was three times as old as Kate 5 years ago. Their total age now is 42 years. How old is Kate now?
katrin [286]
We can write this as two equations. Call Mr. Anders' age A and Kate's age K:
A-5=3(K-5)
A+K=42

Then solve for A in the second equation:
A=42-K

Substitute this into the first equation:
(42-K)-5=3(K-5)
-K+37=3K-15
52=4K
K=13

A line passes through the point (-6, 6) and (-6, 2). In two or more complete sentences, explain why it is not possible to write
Alenkinab [10]
The line passes through two points that have the same x-coordinate.
It is a vertical line. To find the slope of a line, use any two points. Subtract the y-coordinates. Subtract the x-coordinates in the same order. Then divide the difference of the y-coordinates by the difference of the x-coordinates. Since in this case, the x-coordinates are both -6, the difference between the x-coordinates is zero. Division by zero is not defined, so the slope of this line is undefined. You can't write its equation in point-slope form, because there is no slope for this line.
