Answer:

15 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The terms of an odd integer are given by 2n - 1. Since the sides of the triangle are three consecutive odd integers, let them be 2n - 1, 2(n + 1) - 1 and 2(n + 2) - 1 respectively, where 2n - 1 is the shortest side

Let P = perimeter of triangle = 2n - 1 + 2(n + 1) - 1 + 2(n + 2) - 1

= 2n - 1 + 2n + 2 - 1 + 2n + 4 - 1

= 2n - 1 + 2n + 1 + 2n + 3

= 2n + 2n + 2n - 1 + 1 + 3

= 6n + 3

Since the shortest side is 20% of the perimeter of the triangle, we have that

2n - 1 = 20%(6n + 3)

2n - 1 = 0.2(6n + 3)

expanding the bracket, we have

2n - 1 = 1.2n + 0.6

subtracting -1.2n and adding +1 to both sides, we have

2n - 1.2n = 1 + 0.6

0.8n = 1.6

dividing both sides by 0.8, we have

n = 1.6/0.8

n = 2

Since P = 6n + 3, substituting n = 2, we have

P = 6(2) + 3 = 12 + 3 = 15 units

The interval level of measurement is a number scale that classifies both order and the value change between each number. For example, a ruler has intervals 1, 2, and 3 inches. The distance between 1 to 2 inches is the same as the distance between 3 to 4 inches.

Thomas buys 6 souvenirs for his friends and family. Each gift takes up 1/15 of his suitcase. If he has two suitcases, how much r
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

<u>Thomas still has 1 3/5 suitcases available for his own belongings.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the data given to us for solving the question:

Number of souvenirs bought by Thomas = 6

Space that each souvenir takes of Thomas suitcase = 1/15

Number of Thomas suitcases = 2

2.  How much room is left for his own belongings in his suitcases?

Let's find out how much space the souvenirs take:

Number of souvenirs * Space that each souvenir takes

6 * 1/15 = 6/15 = 2/5 (Dividing by 3 the numerator and the denominator)

The souvenirs take 2/5 of one suitcase.

Now, we can calculate the room that is left for Thomas' belongings.

2 Suitcases - 2/5 for the souvenirs

2 - 2/5 = 10/5 - 2/5 = 8/5 = 1 3/5

<u>Thomas still has 1 3/5 suitcases available for his own belongings.</u>
