Complete Question

Marla sawed a 12-meter wood plank into 8 equal pieces. Which statement best explains how Marla cut the wood plank?

a) She cut the wood into pieces that are each 1/3 meter long.

b) She cut the wood into pieces that are each 1/2 meter long.

c) She cut the wood into pieces that are each 1 meter long.

d) She cut the wood into pieces that are each 1 1/2 meter long.

Answer:

d) She cut the wood into pieces that are each 1 1/2 meter long.

Step-by-step explanation:

Marla sawed a 12-meter wood plank into 8 equal pieces.

Hence,

8 equal pieces = 12 meter

1 equal pieces = x meter

Cross Multiply

8 × x = 1 × 12

x = 12/8 meters

x = 3/2 meters long

x = 1 1/2 meters long.

Therefore, Option d is the correct Option

Find the simply interest earned on an investment of $15,000 at a rate of 5.25% for two years.

uysha [10]

Ill show you step by step.

This is what the equation should look like

Y=Initial value(1+/- Increasing or Decreasing value)^2 Which stands for time

$So Y=15,000(1+.0525)^2$

So you need to do 1.0525 to the 2nd power Which equals 1.10775625

So now you need to do 15,000(1.10775625)

Suppose Q is the midpoint of PR. Use the information to find the missing value.

murzikaleks [220]

Step-by-step explanation:

If Q is the midpoint of PR

Then PQ + QR = PR

(6x + 25) + (16 - 3x)

group the same terms and add them

(6x - 3x) + (25 + 16)

Hence PR = (3x + 41)

But to find the value of PR....If Q is the midpoint....then PQ = QR...since they are both half lengths of PR;

; 6x + 25 = 16 - 3x

; 6x + 3x = 16 - 25...;9x = -9

Hence the value of...x = -1

Then substitute the value of x into the equation of PR....3x + 41

;3(-1) + 41

;-3 + 41

Hence PR = 38

How do I solve this question I don’t know how to do it at all

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

x = 5.2

Step-by-step explanation:

See the diagram first.

We know that in a triangle if we draw a line parallel to the baseline then it will divide the other two lines of the triangle in the same ratio.

Therefore, from the given figure it is clear that $\frac{x}{13-x} = \frac{2}{3}$

⇒ 3x = 26 - 2x

⇒ 5x = 26

⇒ x = 5.2 (Answer)

How do you solve 1/4(b-8)^2=7?

d1i1m1o1n [39]

$1/4 (b - 8)^2 = 7\\(b - 8)^2 = 7 \times 4 = 28\\b - 8 = \sqrt{28}=2\sqrt{7}\\b = 8+2\sqrt{7}$
