Answer:

58

Step-by-step explanation:

95 - 55 = 45

2600 / 45 = 57.77778.....

Because you can't sell 0.777778 of a bike you instead sell 58

A rancher wishes to build a fence to enclose a rectangular pen having area 24 square yards. Along one side the fence is to be ma

Gnoma [55]

Answer:

The value is $C \approx \$76$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The area of the rectangular pen is $A = 24 \ yard^2$

The cost of material used to make one side is $z = \$ 6$

The cost of material used to make the other sides is $r = \$ 3$

Now , the fence to be build around the rectangular pen has four sides, the first opposite sides are equal, let assume each of the to be x yard and the other opposite sides are also equal as well let assume of the to be y yard

So the cost is mathematically represented as

$C = zx + r (x + 2y )$

=> $C = 6x + 3(x + 2y)$

=> $C = 9x + 6y$

Now the area of the fence is mathematically represented as

$A = x* y = 24$

=> $y = \frac{24}{x}$

=> $C = 9x + 6[\frac{24}{x} ]$

=> $C = 9x + [\frac{144}{x} ]$

Now differentiating

$C' = 9 + 144* (-2) x^{-2}$

$C' = 9 - 288x^{-2}$

At minimum $C' = 0$

So

$9 - 288x^{-2} = 0$

$x^{-2} = 0.03125$

$x = \sqrt{\frac{1}{0.03125} }$

$x = 5.66$

Now substituting for x in the equation above to obtain minimum cost

$C = 9(5.66) + [\frac{144}{5.66} ]$

$C \approx \$76$

What is 6 and 2/5 + 7 and 9/10? simplify answer

netineya [11]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

What I would do is convert everything to have a denominator of 10 so it could be easier to add.

6 would equal 60/10

7 would equal 70/10

2/5 would equal 4/10

now add all together

60/10 + 70/10 + 4/10 +9/10 and you get 143/10. If you wanted to simplify you would get 14 3/10 or 14.30

What is the value of 5 in 756

BartSMP [9]

7: has a value of 7 hundreds (or 700)
5: has a value of 5 tens (or 50)
6: has a value of 6 ones (or 6)

5 has a value of 50 or five tens

I believe you would draw this by drawing something that looks like place value blocks. I have attached an example of that. In the ones column, you will have 6 single blocks
