Answer: 1\dfrac{3}{4}\text{ feet}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Length of sandwich = 10\dfrac12\text{ feet}=\dfrac{21}{2}\text{ feet}

Total people = 14

If everyone gets a same sized piece , then length of each piece should be

\dfrac{\text{ Length of sandwich}}{\text{Total people}}

=\dfrac{\dfrac{21}{2}}{14}\text{ feet}\\\\=\dfrac{21}{2\times14}\text{ feet}\\\\=\dfrac{7}{2\times2}\text{ feet}\\\\=\dfrac{7}{4}\text{ feet}\\\\=1\dfrac{3}{4}\text{ feet}

Hence, length of each piece = 1\dfrac{3}{4}\text{ feet}

Kristin wants to buy a pair of jeans that cost $35 and are on sale
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

$51.10

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find 20% of $35, then add the sale price of the jeans and the two t-shirts. Take the total and find the sales tax and add that onto the cost.

100 - 20 = 80 If you multiply the jeans by 80% it gives you the price for the jeans saving you from having to subtract the discount from the original price.

35 * 0.80 =  $28.00 jeans                     28.00                             47.98

                                                                  9.99                             <u>+ 3.12</u>

                                                           <u>  +   9.99</u>                            $51.10

                                                                47.98

                                                           <u>X   0.065</u>

                                                                 $3.12

A plane flew 360km in 3 hrs when flying with the wind.With no change in the wind,the return trip took 4 hrs.Find the speed of th
morpeh [17]
Speed of the plane: 250 mph
Speed of the wind: 50 mph
Explanation:
Let p = the speed of the plane
and w = the speed of the wind
It takes the plane 3 hours to go 600 miles when against the headwind and 2 hours to go 600 miles with the headwind. So we set up a system of equations.
600
m
i
3
h
r
=
p
−
w
600
m
i
2
h
r
=
p
+
w
Solving for the left sides we get:
200mph = p - w
300mph = p + w
Now solve for one variable in either equation. I'll solve for x in the first equation:
200mph = p - w
Add w to both sides:
p = 200mph + w
Now we can substitute the x that we found in the first equation into the second equation so we can solve for w:
300mph = (200mph + w) + w
Combine like terms:
300mph = 200mph + 2w
Subtract 200mph on both sides:
100mph = 2w
Divide by 2:
50mph = w
So the speed of the wind is 50mph.
Now plug the value we just found back in to either equation to find the speed of the plane, I'll plug it into the first equation:
200mph = p - 50mph
Add 50mph on both sides:
250mph = p
So the speed of the plane in still air is 250mph.

Using Substitution solve: y=x+5<br> 4x+y=20
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

So first, plugin y to your equation, it should look like this: 4x+x+5+20. Now, we can solve this. Next, we have two x's so we can combine them. The equation will now look like this: 5x+5=20. Now, we have an extra 5 laying around that we need to get rid of, so we can subtract that 5 to both sides of the equation and we get this: 5x-5=20-5 which ends up being 5x=15. Now, we just divide both ides by 5 and since 15 divided by 5 is 3, we get: x=3
