From 4.1 meters wire, we can make 5 stripes with 0.6 meters wire being left.

<u>Solution:</u>

Given that, an electrician has 4.1 meters of wire.  

We have to find  

1) Number of stripes 7/10m long can he cut:

Now, we know that, number of stripes he can make =\frac{\text {available length of wire}}{\text {Length of each stripe}}=\frac{4.1}{\frac{7}{10}}

\Rightarrow \frac{4.1}{\frac{7}{10}}=4.1 \times \frac{10}{7}=\frac{41}{7}=5.857

So, he can make 5 full stripes. We have to neglect fractional value as that is not considered as stripe.

2) Measure of left over wire:

No, we know that, remaining length of wire = total wire length-used length wire  

\begin{array}{l}{\text { Length of left over wire }=4.1 \text { meters- number stripes used }\times \text {length of each stripe }} \\\\ {\text { Length of left over wire }=4.1-5 \times \frac{7}{10}=4.1-\frac{7}{2}=4.1-3.5=0.6 \text { meters }}\end{array}

So, 0.6 meters of wire is left.

Answer:

5 such strips of \frac{7}{10}\ m can be cut and \frac{6}{10}\ m  would be left over.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is4.1= \frac{41}{10}\ m length of a wire.

We have to cut strips of \frac{7}{10}\ m

If we factorize 41 \ by \ 7

We get 5 full and and \frac{6}{7}

Similarly , if we factorize \frac{41}{10} \ by \ \frac{7}{10}

We get full 5 \ strips and another \frac{6}{10} \ m would be left.

Rachel was an 85 average after four test. what does she need to earn on the next test if she wants to raise her average to exact
irakobra [83]

she took four tests with one more to take totals 5 tests

 88 x 5 = 440

 all her tests need to equal at least 440 to get an 88 average

since she has 85 average after 4, 85*4 = 340, so her 4 tests so far have equaled 340

440-340 = 100

 she will need to get a 100 on her 5th test to have an 88 average

A new energy drink advertises 120 calories for 5 oz. How many calories are in 15 oz of drink
Alex777 [14]

A new energy drink advertises 120 calories for 5 oz.

How many calories are in 15 oz?

We can set up a proportion to solve this problem

\frac{120}{5}=\frac{x}{15}

Where x is the number of calories in 15 oz

Let us solve the above equation for x

\begin{gathered} \frac{120}{5}=\frac{x}{15} \\ \frac{x}{15}=\frac{120}{5} \\ x=\frac{120}{5}\cdot15 \\ x=120\cdot3 \\ x=360 \end{gathered}

Therefore, there are 360 calories in 15 oz of drink.
