Answer:

12 inches of wire

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

  • 14 in = $0.60
  • x in   = $0.48

Solve:

Set up a proportion to solve this equation. We can find the price for 1 inch first.

  1. Solve for 1 inch
  • 15 in = $0.60
  • 1 in = $0.60 / 15
  • 1 in = $0.04

Now, we know that 1 inch of wire costs $0.04. We can solve for the x inxhes:

  1. Solve for x inches
  • x in ·$0.04 = $0.48
  • x in = $0.48 ÷ $0.04
  • x in = 12
  • x = 12

You can buy 12 inches of wire.

SOLVE FASTTT
kherson [118]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of triangle is 40 cm² correct to nearest 5cm² .

∴ Area of triangle = ( 40 ± 5) cm²

∴ upper bound for area of triangle is = (40 + 5) cm² = 45cm²

Base of triangle = 9cm

∵ area of triangle = 1/2 base × height

height = 2 × area of triangle/base

∴ upper bound for height of triangle = 2 × upper bound area/base

= 2 × 45/9 = 10cm

Hence answer is 10cm

What is the apparent solution to the system of equations?
Leto [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equations are :

y=-x+2  ....(1)

y = -4x +7 ....(2)

From equation (1) and (2)

-x+2 = -4x +7

Taking like terms together

-x+4x=7-2

3x = 5

x = 1.667

Put the value of x in equation (1)

y=-(1.667)+2

y = 0.333

The solution of the equations are (1.667,0.333). The attached figure shows the graph for the equations.

In a​ lottery, 6 numbers are randomly sampled without replacement from the integers 1 to 50. Their order of selection is not i
nlexa [21]

Answer: 0.444225

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The total number of tickets = 50

Number of tickets are randomly sampled without replacement  =6

Since the order of selection is not important , so we use combinations.

Total number of ways to select 6 tickets = ^{50}C_6

The number of winning tickets = 6

So, number of tickets that are not winning = 50-6=44

Number of ways of selecting zero winning numbers= ^{44}C_{6}

Now , the probability of holding a ticket that has zero winning numbers out of the 6 numbers selected for the winning ticket out of the 50 possible numbers would be \dfrac{^{44}C_{6}}{^{50}C_6}

=\dfrac{\dfrac{44!}{6!(44-6)!}}{\dfrac{50!}{6!(50-6)!}}\\\\\\=\dfrac{\dfrac{44\times43\times42\times41\times40\times39\times38!}{38!}}{\dfrac{50\times49\times48\times47\times46\times45\times44!}{44!}}\\\\\\=\dfrac{44\times43\times42\times41\times40\times39}{50\times49\times48\times47\times46\times45}\\\\=\dfrac{252109}{567525}\approx0.444225

Hence, the required probability = 0.444225
