An electrician cut 36 feet of wire into sections that were each 8 feet long. After cutting, how many pieces of wire did the contractor have?

Answers

Answer 1

divide 36 by 8

36 / 8 = 4.5

 so he had 4 pieces that were 8 feet long and he had 1 piece 4 feet long

 so he had 5 pieces of wire

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Expression [tex]2\frac{1}{6}-5\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

To find : Perform the indicated operation in the expression ?

Solution :

Expression [tex]2\frac{1}{6}-5\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

Write mixed fraction into fraction,

[tex]2\frac{1}{6}-5\frac{2}{3}=\frac{13}{6}-\frac{17}{3}[/tex]

Taking Least common denominator,

[tex]2\frac{1}{6}-5\frac{2}{3}=\frac{13-34}{6}[/tex]

[tex]2\frac{1}{6}-5\frac{2}{3}=-\frac{21}{6}[/tex]

[tex]2\frac{1}{6}-5\frac{2}{3}=-\frac{7}{2}[/tex]

Write improper fraction into mixed fraction,

[tex]2\frac{1}{6}-5\frac{2}{3}=-3\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Therefore, Option C is correct.

okay this is the last one i already know how to distribute and such i was just wondering what's my next step

Answers

the next step after distribution is isolating the terms with the variable at one side and the terms with no variables at the other. Then solve to get the variable.
-2a+32 = -24a-40-2a
-2a+24a+2a = -40-32
24a = -72
a = -3
-2a + 32 = 8 (-3a - 5) - 2a. 
 now distribute

-2a + 32 = -24a - 40 - 2a
Now we combine like numbers on the right side

-2a + 32 = -26a + 40
now subtract the 40 from the right and subtract it from the 32 on the left

-2a -8 = -26a
and finally add 2a to both sides

-8 = -24a

When dealing with the angles of triangles, they are always going to equal 180 degrees. 
So, 79 + 37 + x = 180
116 + x = 180
-116         -116
-------------------
x = 64 degrees

To check that you can just add them all together and see if you get 180.
64 + 79 + 37 = 180
y= 64°

79°+37°+?°=180°   so you do it backwards.....
180°-79°-37°=64°

Suppose that a new fuel-efficient European car travels an average of 26 kilometers on 1 liter of gas. If gas costs 1.50 euros per liter, how much will it cost to drive 300 kilometers in dollars?

Answers

Hello,

If you want to drive 300 kilometers, and you can travel 26 kilometers on 1 liter of gas, you need (300/26) ≈ 11.54 liters of gas to drive 300 kilometers. This will cost (11.54)(1.5) = 17.31 Euros. 

17.31 Euros is worth 20.68 dollars.

It will cost 20.68 dollars to drive 300 kilometers.

Hope this helps!


19.04 dollars.

The student is asking how to calculate the cost of driving 300 kilometers in a fuel-efficient car, with the cost given in dollars instead of euros. To calculate this, we need to perform several steps:

First, calculate the total liters of gasoline needed to drive 300 kilometers in a car that consumes 1 liter per 26 kilometers.Next, calculate the total cost in euros.Finally, convert euros to dollars.

Step-by-step, this calculation is:

Fuel Required: 300 km \/ 26 km/l = 11.54 liters (approximately).Total Cost in Euros: 11.54 liters * 1.50 euros/liter = 17.31 euros.Exchange Rate: Assuming an exchange rate of 1 euro = 1.10 dollars (this rate would need to be checked for the current value as it fluctuates).Total Cost in Dollars: 17.31 euros * 1.10 dollars/euro = 19.04 dollars.

Therefore, it will cost approximately 19.04 dollars to drive 300 kilometers.

Which of the following are types of variations?
A .Direct
B. Inverse
C. Variable
D. Combined
E. Joint

It can be more than one answer choice

Answers

B, since to vary (vari) means to alter or change up. The inverse of something is the opposite.

Answer: Hence, option 'A', 'B', 'D' , 'E' are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are many different types of variations  as follows:

1) Direct variations in which the relationship between two different variables is direct.

2) Inverse variations in which the relationship between two different variables is opposite.

3) Joint variations in which the relationship between one variable varies directly with the product of two or more variables.

4) Combined variations in which one variable is directly proportion to second variable but inversely proportion with third variables.

Hence, option 'A', 'B', 'D' , 'E' are correct.

If ray BD bisects angle CBE, ray BC is transparent to ray BA, angle CBD = (3x + 25) degrees, and angle DBE = (7x - 19) degrees, find angle ABD

Answers

check the picture below.

Answer:  The required measure of angle ABD is 148°.  

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that ray BD bisects angle CBE, ray BC is transparent to ray BA.

Also,

[tex]m\angle CBD=(3x+25)^\circ,~~m\angle DBE=(7x-19)^\circ,~~m\angle ABC=90^\circ.[/tex]

We are to find the measure of angle ABD.

Since ray BD bisects angle CBE, so we have

[tex]m\angle CBD=m\angle DBE\\\\\Rightarrow (3x+25)^\circ=(7x-19)^\circ\\\\\Rightarrow 3x+25=7x-19\\\\\Rightarrow 7x-3x=25+19\\\\\Rightarrow 4x=44\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{44}{4}\\\\\Rightarrow x=11.[/tex]

So, we get

[tex]m\angle CBD=(3\times11+25)^\circ=58^\circ.[/tex]

Therefore,

[tex]m\angle ABD=m\angle ABC+m\angle CBD=90^\circ+58^\circ=148^\circ.[/tex]

Thus, the required measure of angle ABD is 148°.

Mandy used the input and output in this table to write ratios. She concluded that because they are not all equivalent, this is not a proportional relationship. Is she correct? Explain.

[ x ][ 1 ][ 2 ][ 5 ][ 10 ]
-------------------------------
[ y ][ 5 ][ 10 ][ 25 ][ 50 ]

5/1 = 10/2 = 25/5 = 10/50

Answers

Proportional relationships are relationships with equal ratio. Mandy's conclusion is incorrect because the relationship is proportional, and it has a uniform ratio of 5.

To determine if the input and output are proportional, we simply divide the output (y) by the corresponding input (x).

i.e.

[tex]Ratio = \frac yx[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]Ratio = \frac 51 = 5[/tex]

[tex]Ratio = \frac{10}{2} = 5[/tex]

[tex]Ratio = \frac{25}{5} = 5[/tex]

[tex]Ratio = \frac{50}{10} = 5[/tex]

For the four input and output data, the ratios are equal (i.e. 5).

This means that the relationship is proportional.

Hence, Mandy's conclusion is incorrect

Read more about proportional relationships at:

https://brainly.com/question/24312388

Final answer:

Mandy is correct about the proportional relationship as all the ratios of y to x in her table are equivalent to 5/1. However, there is an error with the last ratio listed as 10/50, which should be 50/10 to match the information in the table. After correcting this typo, it is clear that the relationship is proportional because all of the ratios simplify to the same value.

Explanation:

Mandy is indeed correct. For a set of ratios to represent a proportional relationship, they all must have the same value when simplified. From Mandy's table, the ratios formed from the inputs (x) and outputs (y) are 5/1, 10/2, 25/5, and 50/10. When simplified, these should give us a constant ratio if the relationship is proportional. Simplifying the ratios, we get:

5/1 simplifies to 5/110/2 simplifies to 5/125/5 simplifies to 5/150/10 simplifies to 5/1

Since all ratios simplify to the same number, 5/1, it indicates that the relationship between x and y is indeed proportional. However, the last ratio listed in the question, 10/50, is incorrect as it should be 50/10 to maintain consistency with the rest of the table. If we correct this ratio to 50/10, then all ratios confirm a proportional relationship.

To further validate this, a proportion can be created by setting two ratios equal to each other. For example, we can compare the first and the second ratio: 5/1 = 10/2. When you cross-multiply, the resulting equations, 5*2 = 10*1, are true, again confirming proportionality.
