Answer:

No, Mia is not correct, the answer is -2.

Step-by-step explanation:

First we are going to use the distributive Property.

Step 1: 2(0.75+0.4). multiply the 2 out. .75m x 2=1.5m and 2 x .4= .8.

We get 1.5m+.8, so 2(0.75+0.4)=1.5m+.8

Now we are going to distribute on the oher side. 4(.5m-.8)

4x .5m=2m and 4x.8=3.2. Keep the sign the same and we get 2m-3.2, so 4(.5m-.8)=2m-3.2

We put this into the new equation to get 1.5m+.8+7.8=-6.4m+2m-3.2

Step 2: combine like terms

.8+7.8= 8.6 and -6.4m +2m =-4.4m

Plug that into our equation and we get 1.5mn+8.6=-4.4m-3.2

Step 3: Switch the sides

Bring -4.4m to the other side to get 1.5m+4.4m=5.9m

One side is 5.9m

We bring 8.6 to the other side to get -8.6. now we do -3.2-8.6=-11.8.

Our new equation is 5.9m=-11.8

divide by 5.9 on both sides to get our answer of

m=-2

If 1 cm represents 30 km on a map and colorado is shown by a 20cm by 15 cm rectangle on the map, what is the approximate actual

zubka84 [21]

Answer:

20*30km = 600km

15*30km = 450km

600km * 450km = 270000 km^2

Step-by-step explanation:

assuming 1cm --- 30km causes that 2cm --- 60km, 3cm --- 90km, 4cm --- 120km etc. Notice that number of km's is 30 times greater than the number of cm's on a map

using this logic, you calculate both real dimensions of Colorado by multiplying 20*30 = 600 km and 15*30 = 450km

Then we use a formula of an area of a rectangle $A=a\cdot b$ assuming $a=600km, \ b=450km$ and get $A=600\cdot 450=270000km^2$ which is an actual area of Colorado

Problema Solution

You have 800 feet of fencing and you want to make two fenced in enclosures by splitting one enclosure in half. What are the largest dimensions of this enclosure that you could build?

Answer provided by our tutors

Make a drawing and denote:

x = half of the length of the enclosure

2x = the length of the enclosure

y = the width of the enclosure

P = 800 ft the perimeter

The perimeter of the two enclosures can be expressed P = 4x + 2y thus

4x + 3y = 800

Solving for y:

y = 800/3 - 4x/3

The area of the two enclosure is A = 2xy.

Substituting y = 800/3 - 4x/3 in A = 2xy we get

A = 2x(800/3 - 4x/3)

A =1600x/3 - 8x^2/3

We need to find the x for which the parabolic function A = (- 8/3)x^2 + (1600/3)x has maximum:

x max = -b/2a, a = (-8/3), b = 1600/3

x max = (-1600/3)/(2*(-8/3))

x max = 100 ft

y = 800/3 - 4*100/3

y = 133.33 ft

2x = 2*100

2x = 200 ft
