Answer:

  • 24 inches
  • 120 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The lengths can be found by considering their ratio:

  short : long = 1 : 5

The sum of the ratio units is 1+5 = 6, and the sum of the lengths is 144 inches. That means each "ratio unit" stands for (144 in)/6 = 24 inches of length.

The lengths are ...

  1 : 5 = 24 in : 120 in

The pieces are 24 inches and 120 inches in length.

__

Equivalently, you can let s represent the shorter length. Then 5s is the longer one, and their total is ...

  s +5s = 144

  s = 144/6 = 24

  5s = 5(24) = 120

The lengths are 24 inches and 120 inches.

Answer:

y=3x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form is :

y=mx+b

where m is the slope, and b is the y intercept.

We are given the slope, it is 3. we are also given the y intercept, it is (0,-4). For this form, the 0 in (0,-4) is ignored, and we consider the y intercept to be -4.

So, m is 3, and b is -4. Substitute the values into the equation

y=3x+ -4

y=3x-4

So, the equation in slope intercept form is

y=3x-4

What is the cross-sectional area of a wire if its outside diameter is 0.0625 inch?
Leno4ka [110]

Given that the diameter: d= 0.0625 inch.

So, radius of the wire : r = \frac{0.0625}{2} = 0.03125 inch

Now the formula to find the cross-sectional area of wire ( circle) is:

A = πr²

= 3.14 * (0.03125)² Since, π = 3.14 and r = 0.03125

=3.14 * 0.000976563

= 0.003066406

= 0.00307 (Rounded to 5 decimal places).

Hence, cross-sectional area of a wire is 0.00307 square inches.

Hope this helps you!
