Eleanor and Max used two rectangular pieces of plywood, placed end-to-end, to make a long rectangular stage for the school play.

One board was 7 feet long, and the other was 6 1/2 feet long. The two pieces of plywood had equal widths. The total area of the stage was 84 3/8 square feet. What was the width of the plywood?

Answer:the width of plywood = 6.25 feet wide or  6 1/4 feet wide

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Area of  a rectangular plywood = length x width

Area of Ist Plywood= 7 x w

Area of 2nd  Plywood= 61/2 x w=6.5 xw

But Total Arae of trhe two Plywoods are = 84 3/8 square feet.

Therefore Our equation to solve the problem becomes

Area of Ist Plywood + Area of 2nd  Plywood =84 3/8 square feet.

7w + 6.5w =  84 3/8

13.5w= 84 3/8

w =  84 3/8/13.5

675/8  / 13.5

w=6.25

Therefore the width of plywood = 6.25 feet wide or 6 1/4 feet.

Slope= 1/2
Y intercept= (0,2)

Explanation:
Slope-intercept form is y=mx+b
-2x+4y=8
-8-2x=-4y
Divide by -4
2+1/2x=y

Y=1/2x+2

The decimal expansion of all rationals will be
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

I'm pretty sure they either terminate after so many digits (end) or repeat a certain pattern of numbers.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first will look like this: 432.2340

The second would look like this: 324.234234234... ("234" would keep repeating over and over and over. And can be any sequence of #'s)

Answer: Third Option

x=1.469743

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following exponential equation

3^{x+1}=15

We must solve the equation for the variable x

To clear the variable x apply the log_3 function on both sides of the equation

log_3(3^{x+1})=log_3(15)

Simplifying we get the following:

x+1=log_3(15)

To simplify the expression log_3 (15) we apply the base change property

log_b(y)=\frac{log(y)}{log(b)}

This means that:

log_3 (15)=\frac{log(15)}{log(3)}

Then:

x+1=\frac{log(15)}{log(3)}

x=\frac{log(15)}{log(3)}-1

x=1.469743

What is the first quartile of this data set
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

C:12

Step-by-step explanation:

should be 13.5

The first quartile (Q1) is defined as the middle number between the smallest number and the median of the data set.

so the middle number of 10,11,12,15,17,19 is 13.5   since 12+15=27/2=13.5

the closest answer choice is C! Hope this helped!
