If he cuts the board into 7 pieces, that will require 6 cuts with his saw. Therefore, he will lose 6 * .125, or .75 feet for all of the cuts, resulting in 17.25 feet in total after the cuts.
First, make a equation in which r= red and b=blue.
So, since in the first box it has 4 red models and one blue model equaling 12,
the first equation looks like 4r+b=12.
The second equation looks like 2r+b=8.
What you would do is try and first solve for r by getting rid of b.
Since both equation has a positive b, you would make one equation have a negative b by multiplying the whole equation by -1.
-1*(2r+b=8)= -2r-b=-8
Add.
4r+b=12
+(-2r-b=-8)
2r=4
r=2
Then, you plug in 2 for the r for any of the original equations.
4(2)+b=12
8+b=12
b=4
or
2(2)+b=8
4+b=8
b=4
So, the red models weigh 2 pounds while the blue models weigh 4.
1 and 2 cannot be proportional because proportional relationship should has a constant relationship
Use proportions for all of them, for #1 use the proportion 12/30 = 9/a based on corresponding sides and then cross multiply. a=22.5 For #2 use the proportion y/35 = 64/40 based on corresponding sides and then cross multiply, y=56 For #3 use the proportion 42/? = 54/36 and then cross multiply, ?=28
Eccentricity = foci / half the length of the major axis
= 3.5 / 14 = 1/4
