Answer:

The dimensions of rectangle are:

Width = 16 inches

Length = 106 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of rectangle = 244 inches

Let Width of rectangle = w

Length of rectangle = w+90

We need to find the dimensions (length and width) of the carpet

The formula used will be: Perimeter=2(length+width)

Putting values and making equation:

244=2w+2(w+90)\\Solving:\\244=2w+2w+180\\244=4w+180\\Switching\:sides\\4w+180=244\\Subtracting\:180\:from\:both\:sides\\4w=244-180\\4w=64\\Dividing\:both\:sides\:by\:4\\\frac{4w}{4} =\frac{64}{4}\\w=16

So, we get w = 16

The width w = 16 inches

Now, finding length = w+ 90 = 16+90 = 106 inches

Therefore the dimensions of rectangle are:

Width = 16 inches

Length = 106 inches

Tony and Ricky spend a certain amount of money from their accounts each week at a pet shelter. The table shows the relationship
andriy [413]
<span>Function 1:

Number of Weeks (x)          Amount Remaining (dollars) (y)

1                                           30
2                                           24
3                                           18
4                                           12

You find the rate of weekley rate of change by calculating the difference of the amont remaing between two weeks:

24 - 30 = - 6

18 - 24  = - 6

12 - 18 = - 6

As you see the rate of change is constant: - 6 dollars per week. 


The equation shows the relationship between the amount of money, y, remaining in Ricky's account and the number of weeks, x:

Function 2: y = –7x + 30 Which statement states and explains which function shows a greater rate of change?

The rate of change is the slope of the linear function, and this is the coefficient of the independent variable, x. Then the rate of change is - 7 dollar per week. Now you know that the two rates are constant and that the second function shows a steeper decreasing.

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

a)  150 plates

b)  30 plates

c)  180 plates

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

She bought twelve (12) packages of plates for the party in which each package contains 15 plates.

Out of the 12 packages;

10packages are small plates & 2 packages are large plates.

a) The number of small plates she bought = 10 × 15 = 150 plates

b) The number of large plates she bought = 2 × 15 = 30 plates

c) The total number of plates she bought all together is:

= number of small plates bought + = number of large plates bought

= (150 +30) plates

The total number of plates she bought all together = 180 plates

Find the percent error of the measurement 7cm.
RideAnS [48]
The problem wants to calculate the percentage error of the measurement of 7cm and if the measurement is uncertain we could use the formula of getting the error by margin of error over measurement time 100% and base on the data, the error would be if the margin error is 7.5 is 107 %.

jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

The fraction of male student who play sport is \frac{3}{4}  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

Out of the total number of students , the fraction of male = \frac{2}{3} of total number of students

Let the total number of students = x

So, The fraction of male student = \frac{2}{3} of x

I.e  The fraction of male student = \frac{2 x}{3}

Again

The number of students who play sports =  \frac{1}{2} of total number of students

Or, The number of students who play sports =  \frac{1}{2} of x

Or, The number of students who play sports =  \frac{x}{2}

Let The total number of male student who play sport = y

So, According to question

\frac{2 x}{3} of y =  \frac{x}{2}

I.e \frac{2 x}{3} × y =  \frac{x}{2}

or, y = \frac{\frac{x}{2}}{\frac{2 x}{3}}

∴ y = \frac{3}{4}

So,  The total number of male student who play sport = y =  \frac{3}{4}

Hence ,The fraction of male student who play sport is \frac{3}{4}  Answer
