Carter needs to wrap seven presents. He lays the ribbon out flat and says that I'll have just enough pieces if I make six equally spaced cuts, I can use one piece for each package. And I won't have any pieces left over. Does he have enough pieces to wrap all the presents?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes, he has enough pieces to wrap the present

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Presents = 7[/tex]

[tex]Cuts = 6[/tex]

Required

Is there enough pieces to wrap all presents

As a general rule;

When a piece is cut in 1 place, you get 2 pieces

When a piece is cut in 2 places, you get 3 pieces

When a piece is cut in 3 place, you get 4 pieces

This implies that:

n cuts gives n + 1 pieces

i.e.

[tex]n \to n + 1[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]6\ cuts \to (6 + 1) pieces[/tex]

[tex]6\ cuts \to 7\ pieces[/tex]

Hence, there are enough pieces.

HELP ME PLZ IM CRYING predict the number of catfish kathy will catch next week if she catches 54 fish
6 carp
8 bass
7 catfish

Answers

Answer:

18

Step-by-step explanation:

Take a breath :) . I've got your back.

If she caught 6 carp + 8 bass + 7 catfish, she caught 6 +8 +7 fish total = 21.

7 of 21 were catfish.

If she catches 54 fish instead of 21, (and we have to assume the ratio stays the same), how many will be catfish?

Ratios are 7:21 and x:54, but we'll write them as fractions:

7/21 = x/54

Then cross multiply:

21x = (54)(7)

21x = 378

divide both sides by 21

x = 18

If she catches 54 fish total, we predict she will catch 18 catfish.

---------------------------------------------

If we go back to the original 7/21, we can reduce that to 1/3. Then ask what is 1/3 of 54? 18.

Answer:

[tex]\frac{1}{24}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

24 is a common multiple so ill just use that as a denominator:

3/8 = 9/24

1/3 = 8/24

1/4 = 6/24

so then adding those up:

[tex]\frac{9}{24}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{8}{24}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{6}{24}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{23}{24}[/tex]

then whats left is 1/24 left to read, which cant be simplified so [tex]\frac{1}{24}[/tex]

Answer:

   [tex]\frac{1}{24}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]LCM \ of \ 8, 3 , 4 = 24.\ Therefore , \\\\[/tex]

y = 5x - 7

Let x = 2

What is the volume of the figure?

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  C.  205.3 units²

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the figure is the sum of the volumes of ...

  1/2 sphere of radius 2

  cylinder of radius 2 and length 12

  cone of radius 2 and length 9

The formulas for the volumes of a sphere, cylinder, and cone are ...

  V = 4/3πr³ . . . sphere

  V = πr²h . . . . cylinder

  V = 1/3πr²h . . . cone

Then the sum of the volumes is ...

  1/2 sphere + cylinder + cone = (1/2)4/3πr³ +πr²h +1/3πr²h'

     where h is the cylinder height and h' is the cone height

  = πr²(2/3r + h + 1/3h')

  = π(2²)(2/3·2 +12 +1/3·9) = π(4)(16 1/3) = π(65 1/3) ≈ 205.2507

The volume of the figure is about 205.3 units³.

y = 2x + 1 y = 3x - 1

Answers

Answer:

i think the answer is B

Step-by-step explanation:

5=6-1

5=5

just need to get the equations equal together then solve for x which will give u the x-coordinate of intersection then u need to put it in which equation u want to find the y-coordinate of intersection point :

2x + 1 = 3x - 1

Add both sides 1

2x + 1 + 1 = 3x - 1 + 1

2x + 2 = 3x

Subtract both sides 2x

2x - 2x + 2 = 3x - 2x

x = 2

( This is the x-coordinate of intersection point )

_________________________________

Now to find the y-coordinate of the intersection point we have to put the value of x we found in of the equations :

y = 2x + 1

y = 2(2) + 1

y = 4 + 1

y = 5

_________________________________

Thus :

intersection point = ( 2 , 5 )

So the correct answer is option B .

Hello! answer: 80

Step-by-step explanation:

When doing the Pythagorean theorem you do...

a^2+b^2=c^2 which is just A multiplied byitself + B multiplied byitself that will equal the number that C multiplied by itself would equal then you just figure out what multiplied byitself equals that number and thats the answer so...

64 × 64 = 4096 48 × 48 = 2304

4096 + 2304 = 6400 80 × 80 = 6400 therefore c = 80 hope that helps!

Answer:

c = 80 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the hypotenuse can be found by using the following formula in which "c" is the length of the hypotenuse, and "a" and "b" are the legs of the right angles triangle.

[tex]c = \sqrt{a^{2} + b^{2} }[/tex]

[tex]c= \sqrt{64^{2} + 48^{2} } \\c= \sqrt{4096 + 2304} \\c = \sqrt{6400} \\c = 80 inches[/tex]

Answers

The length of a chord which is 24cm from the Centre is: 14 cm

How to find the length of the chord?

Applying the Pythagorean theorem to the two right angle triangles that will be formed gives the radius of the circle from the first condition as:

R = √[(30/2)² + 20²]

R = √(15² + 20²)

R = √625

R = 25 cm

The length L of the another chord is calculated as:

L/2 = √(R² - 24²)

L/2 = √(25² - 24²)

L/2 = √49

L/2 = 7

L = 14 cm

You can sketch the right triangle and see that the length 8 is the hypotenuse and 5 is one of the lengths.
