A 48​-inch board is cut into two pieces. One piece is three times the length of the other. Find the length of the shorter piece. The shorter piece is ______
inches long.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

12 inches long

Step-by-step explanation:

So you have the ratio x : 3x

4x = 48

x = 12

Plug in:

12 * 1 = 12

Answer 2

The length of the shorter piece is 12 inches if the 48​-inch board is cut into two pieces. One piece is three times the length of the other.

What is a linear equation?

It is defined as the relation between two variables, if we plot the graph of the linear equation we will get a straight line.

If in the linear equation, one variable is present, then the equation is known as the linear equation in one variable.

We have:

A 48​-inch board is cut into two pieces. One piece is three times the length of the other.

Let x and y be the length.

x = 3y

x + y = 48

3y + y = 48

y = 12 inches

x = 36 inches

Thus, the length of the shorter piece is 12 inches if the 48​-inch board is cut into two pieces. One piece is three times the length of the other.

A cube has a side length of inch. It would take blocks with a side length of inch to fill the cube. It would take blocks with a side length of inch to fill the cube.

Answers

Complete question:

A cube has a side length of 1/3 inch.It would take _ blocks with a side length of 1/6 inch to fill the cube.

B)It would take _ blocks with a side length of 1/9 inch to fill the cube.

Answer:

a) 8 blocks

b) 27 blocks

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we need to find the volume of the cube and volume of the block.

To find volume of the cube, let's use the formula :

V = a³

Here a = [tex] \frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Therefore,

V =  [tex] (\frac{1}{3})^3[/tex]

V = = [tex] \frac{1}{27}[/tex]

Volume of the cube is [tex] \frac{1}{27}[/tex]

To find volume of the block, let's use the formula:

V = a³

V = [tex] (\frac{1}{6})^3[/tex]

V = [tex] \frac{1}{216} [/tex]

To find the number of blocks, let's divide the volume of block from the volume of cube.

Therefore,

= [tex]\frac{\frac{1}{27}}{\frac{1}{216}}[/tex]

[tex] = \frac{1}{27} * 216 [/tex]

= 8

It would take 8 blocks with a side length of 1/6 inch to fill the cube.

B) Here we also need to find the volume of the cube and volume of the block.

To find volume of the cube, let's use the formula :

V = a³

Here a = [tex] \frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Therefore,

V =  [tex] (\frac{1}{3})^3[/tex]

V = = [tex] \frac{1}{27}[/tex]

Volume of the cube is [tex] \frac{1}{27}[/tex]

To find volume of the block, let's use the formula:

V = a³

V = [tex](\frac{1}{9})^3[/tex]

V = [tex] \frac{1}{729} [/tex]

To find the number of blocks, let's divide the volume of block from the volume of cube.

Therefore,

= [tex] \frac{\frac{1}{27}}{\frac{1}{729}}[/tex]

[tex] = \frac{1}{27} * 729 [/tex]

= 27

It would take 27 blocks with a side length of 1/9 inch to fill the cube.

A student is saving at least $5,000 for college. She begins with a savings account set up by her parents containing $2,000. Each month she deposits an additional $50 into the account. Fill in the first blank with the correct expressions that make the statement true.

(Attached is the statement and the choices)

This is the first box only!! Pls help!!! Giving 15-20 points!!!

Answers

Answer:

5000 ≥ 2000 + 50a

Step-by-step explanation:

She wants to save at least $5000 for college. The saving account set up by her parents already contains $2000 . This means she has more $3000 to save to meet her minimum target. Each month she saves $50 into the account.

Let

number of month = a

The information can be expressed as follows

5000 ≥ 2000 + 50a

The savings will continue increasing every months because she always deposit $50 every month.

Using the expression

5000 ≥ 2000 + 50a

minus 2000 from both sides

3000 ≥ 50a

divide both sides by 50

3000/50 ≥ a

60 ≥ a

This means she needs at least 60 months to meet her savings/target.

A meteorologist measured the average rainfall received in Cities A and B. Both cities received

11inches of rainfall in total. While City A received x inches of rain, City B experienced three times

the amount of rainfall than City A.

Answers

Answer: x + 3x = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Two cities A and B

Both cities receive 11 inches of rainfall in total

Amount of Rainfall in inches received by city A = x

Amount of Rainfall in inches received by city B = 3x

Therefore given the details above, total rainfall is best expressed using the equation ;

Rainfall in city A + Rainfall in city B = 11 inches

x + 3x = 11

In a recent election Corrine Brown received 13 comma 482 more votes than Bill Randall. If the total number of votes was 120 comma 306​, find the number of votes for each candidate.
Corrine Brown received
how many votes?

Answers

Answer:

53,412 and 66,894

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question we have to assume the things

Let us assume

Bill randall be X

So, the Corrine Brown is X + 13,482  as the corrine brown received 13,482 more votes than the Bill Randall

And, the total number of votes is 120,306

Now the equation is

X + X + 13,482 = 120,306

2X + 13,482 = 120,306

2X = 106824

X = 53,412 i.e Bill randall

And, the corrine brown is

= 13,482 + 53,412

= 66,894

Find the area of this shape. The area of this shape is _______ square centimeters.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

area =(4+4+4)/2×2+1/2×(4+4)×5.75

=12+23.00

=35 sq.cms.

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of triangle = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex](b*h)

Area of rectangle = b*h

[tex]A(big-triangle) = \frac{1}{2} (5.75*4)[/tex]

[tex]A(big-triangle) = \frac{1}{2}(23)[/tex]

[tex]A(big-triangle) = 11.5[/tex]

Since there are two big triangles, then we can multiply 11.5 by 2.

11.5 * 2 = 23

[tex]A(small-triangle) = \frac{1}{2}(2*2)[/tex]

[tex]A(small-triangle) = \frac{1}{2} (4)[/tex]

[tex]A(small-triangle) = 2[/tex]

Since there are two small triangles, then we can multiply 2 by 2.

2 * 2 = 4

[tex]A(rectangle)= 4 * 2[/tex]

[tex]A(rectangle) = 8[/tex]

Now, we can add up all of the areas so we can find the total area of the entire shape.

23 + 4 + 8 = 35

So, the area of the entire shape is 35 square cm.

A playhouse is in the shape of a regular octagonal pyramid with a side length of 3 feet an a slant height of 12 feet. The wood used to build the walls of the playhouse costs $3 per square foot. What is the cost of the wood for the walls of the playhouse?

Answers

Answer: We just did these problems in my math class today! Ok, so you need to find the lateral surface area, or the area of the faces/walls. The formula for triangles is

1/2 • base • height. Sub in the #s, it would be 1/2 • 6 • 12

1/2•72

36

So now we know the area of one of the faces is 36inches^2, we can multiply that by 4, which is 144. 144•3($)= $432. To sum things up, $432 is the cost to build the walls of the playhouse, and we are not adding in the base, because the base is not a face!
