1 answer:

6 0

Given: Yu, Nailah, and Elena each bought between 7 and 9 yards of ribbon Yu bought 3 pieces of ribbon. Nailah bought 5 pieces of ribbon. Elena bought 6 pieces of ribbon.

To find: Who can buy which ribbon

Solution:

Ribbon Sizes

1 2/3 = 5/3 yard

4/5 yard

3 1/2 = 7/2 Yard

Yu, Nailah, and Elena each bought between 7 and 9 yards of ribbon

Yu bought 3 pieces of ribbon

=> 3 * 5/3 = 5

3 * 4/5 = 2.4

3 * 7/2 = 10.5

Nailah bought 5 pieces of ribbon

=> 5 * 5/3 = 8.33

5 * 4/5 = 4

5 * 7 /2 = 17.5

Elena bought 6 pieces of ribbon

=> 6 * 5/3 = 10

6 * 4/5 = 4.8

6 * 7 /2 = 21

Only value between 7 & 9 is 5 * 5/3 = 8.33

hence Nailah only can buy 1 2/3 = 5/3 yard ribbon

or there is some mistake in the data

Explain that you found the volume of water in the fish tank if it was only one and a half full with water show your work and sol

Reptile [31]

Answer:

The volume of water in the fish tank is 4.5 cubic feet

see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is

Explain how you found the volume of water in the fish tank if it was only 1/2 full with water. Show your work and solution. Don't forget your UNITS!

You have a fish tank with the following dimensions:

Height: 3 feet

Width: 1.5 feet

Length: 2 feet

step 1

Find the volume of the fish tank

The volume of a rectangular prism ( fish tank) is equal to

$V=LWH$

substitute the given values

$V=(2)(1.5)(3)=9\ ft^3$

step 2

Find the volume of water in the fish tank

Remember that

The fish tank it was only one and a half full with water

Multiply the volume of the fish tank by one and a half to obtain the volume of water

$\frac{1}{2}(9)=4.5\ ft^3$

What is equation of the line that passes through the point (-3,8) and has an undefined slope

aniked [119]

The equation of line that passes through point (-3, 8) and has an undefined slope is x = -3

Solution:

Given that we have to find the equation of line that passes through point (-3, 8) and has an undefined slope

Since the line has an undefined slope. This informs us that it is a vertical line parallel to the y-axis and passing through all points in the plane with the same x-coordinate.

If the slope of the line is undefined, then, by definition the line is a vertical line.

For a vertical line, the value of x is the same for each and every value of y

Given point is (x, y) = (-3 , 8)

Because the value of x in the point provided in the problem is -3, we get

Equation of line is : x = -3
