Step-by-step explanation:

This seems like you just want to figure out the circumference of the manhole cover. The formula for the circumference of a circle is pi (3.14) multiplied by the diameter (d) of the circle so, circumference=πd. (π is the symbol for pi and approx. equals 3.14)

Circumference = πd

= 3.14(d)

= 3.14(3)

= 9.42 ft.

The length of the brass grip-strip will be 9.42 ft.

If the problem was stated in terms of the radius of the manhole cover then the formula would be circumference = 2πr which is the radius multiplied by 2 then multiplied by pi.

The radius of a circle is the distance from the center to the edge and the diameter is the distance from one edge of the circle to the other passing through the center of the circle.

Well, if the grip strip were of no width and could be straightened out to a line (which a piece of rubber cut in a circle couldn't be), then the length of the grip would correspond to the circumference of the manhole cover.

Circumference = 2*PI*radius = PI*diameter so your answer is 3*PI feet long.

The sum of two numbers is 15 if the sum of their reciprocal is 3/10 find the numbers

malfutka [58]

Answer:

The numbers are 10 and 5

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=15

(1/x)+(1/y)=(3/10)

(1/(15-y))+(1/y)=(3/10)

x=10, y=5

Answer:

<h2><em><u>Option</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>A</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>and</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>C</u></em></h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

As,

$2 \sqrt{75} + 3 \sqrt{50}$

$= 2 \sqrt{25 \times 3} + 3 \sqrt{25 \times 2} (A)$

$= 2 \times 5 \sqrt{3} + 3 \times 5 \sqrt{2}$

$= 10 \sqrt{3} + 15 \sqrt{2} (C)$

Match each question to the correct problem.

Maslowich

<h2>Answer:</h2>

<em>(Check attached images).</em>

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

<h3>Exercise 1.</h3>

a. Convert to decimals.

To order the numbers from least to greaters, convert them to decimals and compare.

$5.2(percent)=0.052\\ \\\frac{1}{7} =0.1429\\\\ -0.8=-0.8000\\ \\\frac{-11}{5} =-2.2$

b. Select the second least number.

-0.8.

<h3>Exercise 2.</h3>

a. Convert to decimals.

$-3.4(percent)=-0.034\\ \\-0.031\\\\ -0.2\\ \\-\sqrt{0.8}= -0.8944$

b. Select the correct number.

$-\frac{1}{5}$ .

<h3>Exercise 3.</h3>

a. Convert to decimals.

<em>After seeing that there are negative and positive numbers, and with the premise that negative numbers are </em><u><em>always</em></u><em> lesser than positive numbers, we'll only compare the positive numbers.</em>

<em />

b. Select the correct number.

3/5.

<h3>Exercise 4.</h3>

a. Convert to decimals.

-0.35

-3.5%= -0.035

b. Conclude.

Seeing that -3.5% is less than -0.35, the symbol that makes the statement true is ">".

<h3>Exercise 5.</h3>

a. Try to visually estimate b.

B appears to have a value of -0.9.

b. Convert the numbers to decimals.

-3.4%= -0.034

-0.031

-1/5= -0.2

$-\sqrt{0.8}= -0.8944$

c. Select the correct answer.

<em>Since we estimated the value of b as -0.9, the number that best adequates to its value is </em> $-\sqrt{0.8}$ .

<h3>Exercise 6.</h3>

a. Convert to decimals.

5.2%= 0.052

1/7= 0.1429

b. Select the correct number.

5.2% is the second largest.

<h3>Exercise 7.</h3>

a. Convert to decimals.

6/7= 0.857143

0.857

b. Select the correct answer.

Seeing that 0.857 is marked as an approximate by the

ellipsis, and considering that 6/7 is an irrational numbers, we can conclude that the number that better fits the situation and makes the statement true is "=".

<h3>Exercise 8.</h3>

a. Convert to decimals.

<em /> $-\sqrt{21} =-4.5826$

b. Select the correct answer.

The smallest number is -4.6.
