A construction worker is looking at blueprints drawn to a 1/20 scale and notices that a wall is 0.5 feet by 0.25 feet. He claims

that the area of the actual wall should be 20 times the area that is on the blueprints. Explain if he is correct or incorrect.

Answer:

incorrect

Step-by-step explanation:

we are finding area which is squared, or we can put it in an equation, (0.5*20)*(0.25*20) or 0.5*0.25*20^2 which equals 50      but (0.5*0.25)*20 only equals 2.5    therefor he is incorrect and the correct answer would be 20^2 or 400 times the area.

hope this helps :)

Without using a calculator convert the decimal into a fraction<br> 0. 75
mojhsa [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

Decimals can always be put over 1, as they're part of a whole number.

\frac{0.75}{1}

<u>Multiply both numerator and denominator by 100:</u>

<u />\frac{0.75 \times 100}{1\times 100} =\frac{75}{100}

\frac{0.75}{1} \: and \: \frac{75}{100} \: are \: fractions \: of \: 0.75

Which of the following is the graph of the rational function? y=x^2+2x-8/x^2-9
rusak2 [61]
Notice that we can simplify both numerator and denominator of our rational function. In the numerator we have a quadratic expression of the form ax^2+bx+c. To to simplify it, we are going to find tow numbers that add to 2 and multiply to -8; those numbers are 4 and -2.
x^2+2x-8=(x+4)(x-2)
In the denominator we have a difference of squares:
x^2-9=x^2-3^2=(x+3)(x-3)

Now we can rewrite our function:
y= \frac{x^2+2x-8}{x^2-9} = \frac{(x+4)(x-2)}{(x+3)(x-3)}

From the simplified form of our rational function we can infer that its graph has two vertical asymptotes at x=3 and x-3

We can conclude that the graphic of our rational function is:

Eight people attend the theater "together and sit in a row with exactly eight seats. Suppose the eight people consist of three m
Nata [24]

Answer:

They can be seated in 120 differents ways.

Step-by-step explanation:

Taking into account that there are 3 couples and every couple has an specific way to sit, for simplify the exercise, every couple is going to act like 1 option and it's going to occupy 1 Place. If this happens we just need to organize 5 options (3 couples and 2 singles) in 5 Places (3 for a couple and 2 for the singles)

It means that now there are just 5 Places in the row and 5 options to organized. So the number of ways can be calculated using a rule of multiplication as:

<u>      5         </u>*<u>        4          </u>* <u>       3           </u> *  <u>        2     </u>  * <u>         1         </u> = 120

 1st place    2nd Place    3rd place        4th Place    5th Place

Because we have 5 options for the 1st Place, the three couples and the 2 singles. Then, 4 options for the second Place, 3 options for the third place, 2 for the fourth place and 1 option for the 5th place.

Finally, they can be seated in 120 differents ways.
