Answer: Part A - C, Part B - 12 pieces
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Part A:</u>
We know that 1/4 of Meredith's sub is bigger than 1/4 of Jim's sub, so we can set up an inequality.
Let Meredith's sub size = m; Jim's = j
Therefore, 1/4*m > 1/4*j
We can multiply both sides by 4:
m > j
Thus, the correct answer is C
<u>Part B:</u>
Since he had 1/4 of it left, that means he at 1 - 1/4 of it = 3/4 of his sub.
We can calculate the value of 3/4 * 16 = 12 pieces
The answer to your problem is 20 inches.
The answer is most likely 8.
Answer: ∛v
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we know volume is measured height x width x length, we know the equation we'd use here would be:
___ x ___ x ___ = v in³
If this was area, we would have ___ x ___ = v in², and it would be easy to find each blank. You would just find the square root of "v", making your answer √v.
When you have 3 things multiplied by each other (that are exactly the same, which is the situation here since this is a cube), you will want to find ∛x (if x is our unknown variable). This means that we are finding ONE-THIRD of the number ... sort of. So if x was equal to 8, then ∛x = 2, because 2 x 2 x 2 = 8.
In our situation here, x = v, and since we don't know the actual number, we will keep it as a square root, so the answer to your question is ∛v.
I really hope I was able to explain easy enough, feel free to ask anything else!
It takes them 1 7/8 hrs to complete the job together.
How:
Fred = 3 hrs
Jason = 5 hrs
1/3x + 1/5x = 1/x
3x x 5x = 15 —> 3x/15 + 5x/15 = 15/15
3x + 5x = 8x —> 8x/15 = 1.875 = 1 7/8 hrs
