Answer:

7 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of one piece of string = 28 feet.

Length of the second string = 42 feet.

Since the number of required pieces was not given but many are required, the greatest length can be determined by;

If the maximum length is 7 feet, then:

the number of pieces from 28 feet long string = \frac{28}{7}

                                                      = 4

Also,

the number of pieces from the 42 feet lone string = \frac{42}{7}

                                                    = 6

Total number of 7 feet strings that she can make = 4 + 6

                                                    = 10

Since many pieces are required, the greatest length she can make is 7 feet. If she increase the length to 14 feet, the number of pieces would be 5 which limit the required number.

What’s the slope of this graph?
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

-1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a negative slope so therefore the final answer is negative. You can use rise over run since a graph is provided. Start from point (0,3) count down until you get to the line if the second point. That would be 2 down...then you count across to the point. That's 4. The slope is -2/4 but simplified is -1/2.
