Answer:

The smaller number is 11

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is

One number is 3 less than a second number. Twice the second number is 16 less than 4 times the first. Find the smaller of two numbers

Let

x and y the numbers

x=y-3 ----> equation A

2y=4x-16 ----> equation B

Substitute equation A in equation B and solve for y

2y=4(y-3)-16

2y=4y-12-16

4y-2y=12+16

2y=28

y=14

x=14-3=11

A section of a boardwalk is made using 15 boards. Each board is 914914 inches wide. The total width of the section is 144 inches
xeze [42]


<span><span>15 times 9.25 = 138.75 inches.
That leaves

144-138.75 = 5.25 inches for spaces. 
Between the 15 boards are just 14 spaces, however.
So divide 5.25 by 14 and get
3/8" for each space.</span>

<span>Hi there,
14 boards each 9 1/4 inches wide.
14 x 9 1/4 = 138 3/4 inches
144 inches - 138 3/4 inches

= 5 1/4 inches
Spaces between 14 boards
= 13 spaces.
5 1/4 / 13 = 2/5 of an inch.
Hope this helps. :-)</span></span>

Find the value of x for the given equation : 2 (x-1) - 6 =24​
olasank [31]

Answer:

x = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

2(x - 1) - 6 = 24 ( add 6 to both sides )

2(x - 1) = 30 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x - 1 = 15 ( add 1 to both sides )

x = 16

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

The ratio of the violas sold to the original number of violas is <u>3:32</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

At the beginning of the month, Hercules had 96 violas in his store. He sold 9 violas during the month.

Now, to find the ratio of the violas sold to the original number of violas.

The original number of violas = 96.

The violas sold = 9.

Now, to get the ratio of the violas sold to the original number of violas:

The violas sold : The original number of violas

9:96\\\\=\frac{9}{96} \\\\=\frac{3}{32} \\\\=3:32.

Therefore, the ratio of the violas sold to the original number of violas is 3:32.

The diameter of a sphere is 4 centimeters. Which represents the volume of the sphere?
lord [1]

Answer:

V = 33.5 cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a sphere is given by

V=4/3 pi r^3

The diameter is 4

r= d/2

r =4/2 =2

V = 4/3 pi (2)^3

V = 4/3 pi 8

V = 32/3 pi

Assuming pi is approximated by 3.14

V = 32/3 (3.14)

   = 33.493333333 cm^3

To the nearest tenth

V = 33.5 cm^3
