Answer:

The width is 24.5in

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of the rectangular yoga mat can be found using the formula;

P=2l+2w.

\Rightarrow 179=2l+2w...(1).

It was given that the width of the mat is eight less than half the length.

w=\frac{1}{2}l-8...(2)

We put equation (2) into equation (1) to get;

179=2l+2(\frac{1}{2}l-8).

\Rightarrow 179=2l+l-16.

\Rightarrow 179+16=2l+l.

\Rightarrow 3l=195

Divide both sides by 3;

l=65

We put l=65 into equation 2 to get;

w=\frac{1}{2}\times65-8

w=32.5-8

w=24.5in

Ants have 6 legs. Elena and Andre write equations showing the proportional relationship between the number of ants, a, to the nu
Vlad [161]

Answer:

I agree with Elena

Step-by-step explanation:

Ants have 6 legs. Elena and Andre write equations showing the proportional relationship between the number of ants, a, to the number of ant legs, v.

Elena writes a = 6 times v

Andre writes v =1/6 times a.

Mathematically

The number of ants a is directly proportional to the number of legs

=a ∝ v

Because if

1 ant = 6 legs

2 ants = x legs

x = 6 legs × 2

x = 12 legs

The number of ants is directly proportional to the number of legs

Therefore, Elena is correct and Andre is wrong.

The diameter of a bacteria colony that doubles every hour is represented by the graph below. What is the diameter of the bacteri
Nady [450]

Do you notice anything strange about those points ?

(0, 1), 
(1, 2), 
(2, 4),
(3, 8).

The y-coordinate of each point is (2) raised to the  power of the x-coordinate.

First point:       x=0,  y=2⁰ = 1
Second point: x=1,  y=2¹ = 2
Third point:      x=2,  y=2² = 4
Fourth point:    x=3,  y=2³ = 8


The equation of the curve appears to be

                               y = 2 ^ x .

So, after 10 hours,  x=10, and  y = 2¹⁰ = 1,024 .
