Answer:

  1.67 m, 8.33 m

Step-by-step explanation:

If the ratio of lengths is 1 : 5, then the ratio of the shortest length to the total is ...

  1 : (1+5) = 1 : 6

The shortest length is (10 m)×(1/6) = 1.67 m. The longer length is 10 -1.67 = 8.33 m.

The lengths of the pieces are 8.33 m and 1.67 m.

If f(x)=2x-4, what would be the answer if f(3)-1??
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the function

f(x) = 2x - 4

and we want to know the value of f(3) - 1.

The first step is to find f(3) ; we can subtract 1 from it at the end! But what does f(3) mean?

Basically, we're saying <em>"what is the value of the function when </em>x = 3<em> ?"</em>

So, we simply replace x with 3 in the function, and we get:

f(3) = 2\times 3 - 4 = 2.

Finally, we subtract 1 to find f(3) - 1 = 1.

2 women and 7 girls can do a peice of work in 4 days.4 women and 4 girls can do the same work in 3 days. How long would it take
svetlana [45]

Answer:

x: work a woman can do in 1 day

y: work a girl can do in 1  day

Then

2x + 7y =1/4

4x + 4y =1/3

4x + 14y =2/4 (1)

4x + 4y  =1/3 (2)

=> Let (1) - (2), 10y =2/4-1/3 <=>10y = 1/6 <=> y = 1/(6x10) = 1/60 (work)

=> From (2),4x = 1/3 - 4x1/60 => 4x = 16/60 => x = 4/60 (work)

=> 1 day, a woman and a girl can do: 1/60+4/60 = 5/60 =1/12 (work)

Then, the day required for a woman and a girl to complete work: 12 days

Find the point, M, that divides segment AB into a ratio of 5:2 if A is at (1, 2) and B is at (8, 16).
d1i1m1o1n [39]
Since M divides segment AB into a ratio of 5:2, we can say that M is 5/(5+2) of the length of AB. Therefore 5/7 × AB.
distance of AB = d
5/7×(x2 - x1) for the x and 5/7×(y2 - y1) for the y
5/7×(8 - 1) = 5/7 (7) = 5 for the x
and 5/7×(16 - 2) = 5/7 (14) = 10 for the y
But remember the line AB starts at A (1, 2),
so add 1 to the x: 5+1 = 6
and add 2 to the y: 10+2 = 12
Therefore the point M lies exactly at...
A) (6, 12)
