Length of blue cloth is 60 inches , length of gold cloth is 48 inches and length of white cloth is 72 inches.
<u>a.</u>
As, the length of all pieces are equal, so for getting the greatest possible length of the pieces, we need to find <u>GCF(greatest common factor) of 60, 48 and 72. </u>
First we will factor out all three numbers completely......

The common factors are: 2, 2 and 3
Thus the GCF 
So, the greatest possible length of the pieces without having any cloth left over will be 12 inches.
<u>b. </u>
For finding the number of pieces for each color cloth, we will just <u>divide the length of each cloth by 12</u>. So...
Number of pieces for blue cloth 
Number of pieces for gold cloth
and
Number of pieces for white cloth 
Answer:
x = 4/15 and x= 10/3
Step-by-step explanation:
|9x-7|=|6x+3|
There are two solutions, one positive and one negative.
(9x-7)=6x+3 - (9x-7)=6x+3
We will take the positive one first
(9x-7)=6x+3
Subtract 6x from each side
(9x-6x-7)=6x-6x+3
3x -7=3
Add 7 to each side
3x-7+7 = 3+7
3x = 10
Divide by 3x/3 = 10/3
x = 10/3
Now we will take the negative solution
- (9x-7)=6x+3
Distribute the negative sign
-9x+7 = 6x+3
Add 9x to each side
-9x+9x+7 = 6x+9x+3
7 = 15x+3
Subtract 3 from each side
7-3 = 15x +3-3
4 = 15x
Divide by 15 on each side
4/15 =15x/15
4/15 =x
Answer:
the rate of change of the water depth when the water depth is 10 ft is; 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
the inverted conical water tank with a height of 20 ft and a radius of 8 ft is drained through a hole in the vertex (bottom) at a rate of 4 ft^3/sec.
We are meant to find the rate of change of the water depth when the water depth is 10 ft.
The diagrammatic expression below clearly interprets the question.
From the image below, assuming h = the depth of the tank at a time t and r = radius of the cone shaped at a time t
Then the similar triangles ΔOCD and ΔOAB is as follows:
( similar triangle property)


h = 2.5r

The volume of the water in the tank is represented by the equation:



The rate of change of the water depth is :

Since the water is drained through a hole in the vertex (bottom) at a rate of 4 ft^3/sec
Then,

Therefore,

the rate of change of the water at depth h = 10 ft is:




Thus, the rate of change of the water depth when the water depth is 10 ft is;
