A student says that if 5x2 = 20, then x must be

Mathematics

Answer:

I agree with the student's answer. "x" cannot be -2 because then it would make -20 which is not equal to 20:

5(-2)(2) = ?

-10 x 2 = ?

? = -20

-20 ≠ 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Justificaiton:

5(x)(2) = 20

10(x) = 20

10/10(x) = 20/10

x = 2

Second Justification:

5(x)(2) = 20

5/5(x)(2) = 20/5

2x = 4

2x/2 = 4/2

x = 2

Q. A room measure 3m 55cm by 2m 25 cm. What is the perimeter of the room?
Bond [772]

Answer:

100cm = 1m

Thus, one more step should be added to your working to arrive at the final answer:

Perimeter

= 10m 160cm

= 11m 60cm

This is because 160cm= 100cm +60cm, which is also equivalent to 1m 60cm.

Alternative working:

Convert all the units to cm first.

\boxed{1 \: m= 100 \: cm}

Length

= 5m 55cm

= 300cm +55cm

= 355cm

Breadth

= 2m 25cm

= 200cm +25cm

= 225cm

Perimeter

= 2(length +breadth)

= 2(355 cm +225 cm)

= 2(580 cm)

= 1160 cm

= 11m 60cm

From the second last step to the last step, you could divide 1160 by 100 to find how many meters are there. You would get a quotient of 11 and a remainder of 60. Since this 60 cannot be changed into meters as a whole number, we can leave it as 11m 60cm. Otherwise, it is also correct to leave it as 1160cm or 11.6m unless otherwise stated.

However, 10m 160cm is not preferred since the conversion of cm to m is done partially, as the 160 cm can still be further simplified.

The USA won 15 Wimbledon championships. Sweden and Switzerland both won 7. Australia won 6, German won 4, and Spain won 2. Write
mihalych1998 [28]
Well you add the total of championships. 15+7+7+6+4+2=41
The ratio is 6:41
This means that Australia won 6 of the 41 championships.

<h3>Answer:</h3>

length: 7 ft

width: 5 ft

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Your familiarity with times tables tells you that 35 = 5×7. Checking, you find that 7 = 3×5 - 8, so you know that these values (5, 7) are the width and length of the rectangle (in feet).
