Answer: The short piece is approximately 7.5 feet

Step-by-step explanation: Since the 25 foot rope was cut into 2 pieces and the ratio is 5 to 12, that means the total amount would be 17. 25/17 rounded to the nearest tenths is 1.5. We then multiply 5 by 1.5 because 1.5 is the unit resulting in 7.5. This shows that the shorter piece is approximately 7.5 feet. Hope this helps

The ages of three children in a family can be expressed as consecutive integers. The square of the age of the youngest child is
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer: 10, 11, & 12

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Let x represent the age of the youngest child.  

Their ages are consecutive so,

Youngest: x

Middle: x + 1

Oldest: x + 2

The age of the Youngest squared (x²) equals 8 times the Oldest [8(x + 2)] plus 4.

x² = 8(x + 2) + 4

x² = 8x + 16 + 4

x² = 8x + 20

x² - 8x - 20 = 0

(x - 10)(x + 2) = 0

x - 10 = 0     or      x + 2 = 0

  x = 10       or          x = -2

Since age cannot be negative, x = -2 is not valid

So, the Youngest (x) is 10

the Middle (x + 1) is 11

and the Oldest (x + 2) is 12

How do i write 5,972,000,000,000,000,000,000,000kg in Scientific Notation
never [62]
In order to write this in scientific notation, we must move the decimal from the beginning all the way to between the 5 and the 9
Note: you can move the decimal anywhere you want but typically scientific notation will have the decimal in between the first and second digit.

Since we move the decimal 24 digits to the right, our answer will be

5.972 * 10^24
or
5.972E24

Hope this helps!!
