Answer:
1st piece = Piece A = 5 inches
2nd piece = Piece B = 10 inches
Third Piece = Piece C = 27 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
A 42-inch piece of steel is cut into 3 pieces
Let the lengths be represented as:
1st piece = Piece A
2nd piece = Piece B
Third Piece = Piece C
Hence:
A + B + C = 42
The 2nd piece is twice as long as the 1st piece
B = 2A
The 3rd piece is 2 inches more than 5 times the length of the first piece.
C = 5A + 2
Hence: we substitute
A + B + C = 42 inches
A + 2A + 5A + 2 = 42 inches
8A = 42 - 2
8A = 40 inches
A = 40 inches/8
A = 5 inches
Solving for B
B = 2A
B = 2 × 5 inches
B = 10 inches
Solving for C
C = 5A + 2
C = 5 × 5 + 2
C = 25 + 2
C = 27 inches
Therefore, the lengths of the 3 pieces =
1st piece = Piece A = 5 inches
2nd piece = Piece B = 10 inches
Third Piece = Piece C = 27 inches
Answer: B or the second choice
Step-by-step explanation:
well for triangle DEF since E is on the top left, it should be on the bottom right. While F was on the bottom right, it would be on the top left where E originally was. The angles inside has the same situation with E and F, however D stills stays at the top because when reflected like a mirror, D stays at the top. Sorry it’s long and hope this helps!
PS u also took a pic of the correct answer lol XD
I can’t see the question b
Answer:
6 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the total work be X
Combined speed: X/2
Ron's speed: X/3
Harry's speed: S
X/2 = X/3 + S
S = X/2 - X/3 = (3X - 2X)/6 = X/6
Harry's speed is X/6, so he'll take 6 hours
