A contractor brought 10.8 ft^2 of sheet metal. She has used 3.7 ft^2 so far and has $127.80 worth of sheet metal remaining. The equation 10.8x-3.7x=127.8 represents how much sheet metal is remaining and the cost of the remaining amount. How much does sheet metal cost per square foot?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]\$18[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of sheet metal per square feet be [tex]x[/tex]

Amount of sheet metal bought is [tex]10.8\ \text{ft}^2[/tex]

Amount of sheet metal used is [tex]3.7\ \text{ft}^2[/tex]

Remaining value of the sheet metal is [tex]\$127.8[/tex]

So we get the equation

[tex]10.8x-3.7x=127.8\\\Rightarrow 7.1x=127.8\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{127.8}{7.1}\\\Rightarrow x=18[/tex]

So, cost of sheet metal per square feet is [tex]\$18[/tex].

A person and a building cast a shadow at the same time of day. The person is 5.8 feet tall in case the shadow of 3.2 feet. The building cast a shadow of 28 feet.

Find the height of the building.


round your answer to the nearest 10th of a foot.

Answers

Answer:

Height of the building = 50.8 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

A person and a building are casting the shadows at the same time of the day.

Triangles formed by the person and his shadow and the building and its shadow will be similar.

Therefore, corresponding sides of the similar triangles will be proportional.

[tex]\frac{x}{28}=\frac{5.8}{3.2}[/tex]

x = [tex]\frac{5.8\times 28}{3.2}[/tex]

x = 50.75

x ≈ 50.8 ft

Answer:

50.8 feet is correct

Olivia needs 54 ticks for every 3 lollipops she eats. Complete the table using equivalent ratios. Lollipops


Answers

Answer:

36:2

90:5

Step-by-step explanation:

I got 2 because if we figure out how many licks she gets for every 1 lollipop that will help find the other numbers. When we divide 54 by 3 we get 18. For every 1 lollipop she lickes 18 times. To figure out how many lollipops for 36 I added 18 plus 18 which gives me 36. I added it twice or multiples by 2. Since I multiplied by 2 the lollipops will be 2. Since we know the rate of change which is 18. We know that for 3 lollipops the person will lick 54 times. I added 54 plus 18 two times which gave me 90. So for 90 licks the person will have 5 lollipops. I hope this helps.

After Thanksgiving, Fernando had 3/8 of a pumpkin pie left. Later that night, 1 point
Fernando ate 2/3 of the remaining pie. How much of the pumpkin pie did
Fernando eat?*
3/8 of the pie
9/16 of the pie
1/4 of the pie
06/24 of the pie

Answers

Answer:

(C) 1/4 of the pie.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Fernando had 3/8 of a pumpkin pie left.

So, the remaining pie= 3/8 of a pie.

As Fernando ate 2/3 of the remaining pie, so,

the portion of a pie that Fernando ate = 2/3 x 3/8 of a pie = 1/4 of a pie.

So, Fernando ate 1/4 of a pie.

Hence, option (C) is correct.

The new post office has an area that is 6.5 times the area of the old post office. Let p represent the area of the old post office. Write an expression to represent the area of the new post office?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]Area = 6.5p[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Area\ of\ Old = p[/tex]

[tex]Area\ of\ New = 6.5 * Area\ of\ Old[/tex]

Required

Write an expression for the area of new post office

From the question, we have the following:

[tex]Area\ of\ Old = p[/tex]

and

[tex]Area\ of\ New = 6.5 * Area\ of\ Old[/tex]

Substitute p for Area of Old in the second equation

[tex]Area\ of\ New = 6.5 * p[/tex]

[tex]Area\ of\ New = 6.5 p[/tex]

Hence, the expression is:

[tex]Area = 6.5p[/tex]

What is the inverse function F(x)=-1/2(x+3)?

Answers

Answer:

f(x)=-1/2(x+3)

y=-1/2(x+3)

x=-1/2(y+3)

-1/2(y+3)=x

-1/2y-3/2=x

-y-3=2x

-y=2x+3

y=-2x-3

f^-1(x)=-2x-3

The inverse of the function f(x) is

[tex]f^{-1}[/tex] (x) = 2x - 3

What is a function?

A function is a relationship between inputs where each input is related to exactly one output.

Example:

f(x) = 2x + 1

f(1) = 2 + 1 = 3

f(2) = 2 x 2 + 1 = 4 + 1 = 5

The outputs of the functions are 3 and 5

The inputs of the function are 1 and 2.

We have,

f(x) = 1/2 (x + 3)

Put f(x) = y

y = 1/2 (x + 3)

Replace y and x.

x = 1/2 (y + 3)

Find y.

2x = y + 3

y = 2x - 3

This means,

[tex]f^{-1}[/tex] (x) = 2x - 3

Thus,

The inverse of f(x) is 2x - 3.

Answers

Answer:

9 digits

Step-by-step explanation:

when doing multiplication with decimals the amount of digits after the decimal in the final product will be the sum of the amounts of digits after the decimal in the two numbers being multiplied together

For example, If you were to multiply 6.789 by 10.321 the answer would be 70.069269. There are six digits after the decimal because the numbers being multiplied each have three digits after their decimals

An airport shuttle service charges $15 plus $1.15 per mile. An equation is written as y=mx+b, where y is the cost for x miles.

Answers

Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

You didn't really say what you need to calculate but let me try to help out.

From the question, we are informed that an airport shuttle service charges $15 plus $1.15 per mile and that an equation is written as y=mx+b, where y is the cost for x miles.

The equation can be expressed as:

y = 15 + 1.15x

where,

15 = y intercept and this is the initial fixed cost

1.15 = slope and this is the cost per mile

x = number of miles
