evaluate n/6 when n=12

Answers

When asked to evaluate, you have to plug in the given value of n (in this case), into the given equation.

n/6 = ?
In order to find out ?, we need to know what n is.
Well, n = 12
So, plug in 12 for n
n/6 would now be written as 12/6 in order to be evaluated
Now, simplify.... What you get for 12/6 is the answer

Answer:

When [tex]\( n = 12 \), \( \frac{n}{6} \)[/tex]  equals [tex]\( 2 \).[/tex]

Explanation:

To evaluate [tex]\( \frac{n}{6} \)[/tex]  when [tex]\( n = 12 \)[/tex] , simply substitute [tex]\( n = 12 \)[/tex] into the expression:

[tex]\[ \frac{n}{6} = \frac{12}{6} \][/tex]

[tex]\[ \frac{n}{6} = 2 \][/tex]

So, when [tex]\( n = 12 \)[/tex], [tex]\( \frac{n}{6} \)[/tex] equals [tex]\( 2 \).[/tex]

A 5-pound bag of apples cost $3.50. Use that rate, to complete the table to identify equivalent ratios, and then answer the questions. Apples *? 5 ? 15 Cost 0.70 3.50 7 ? Apples cost $ __ per pound.

Answers

Answer:

Cost 0.70 per pound.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you see the cost and the weight you can get the price per pound, so if 5 pounds cost $3.50, you can evaluate doing a rule of three:

[tex]\frac{3.50}{5}=\frac{x}{1}[/tex]

So if you clear X you´d get this:

[tex]x=\frac{(3.5)(1)}{5}[/tex]

[tex]x=0.70[/tex]

So the cost per pound is $0.70.

Now that you have the cost per pound you can do the equivalent ratios:

Cost---------------Apples

0.70---------------1 pound

3.5--------------- 5 pounds

  7---------------  10 pounds

Answer:

0.70 per pound.

What integer can be represented by 16 positive tiles and 26 negative tiles? (A) 10 (B) -10 (C) -6 (D) 42

Answers

the answer would be (B) -10  because 16 - 26 is -10


Final answer:

The integer that can be represented by 16 positive tiles and 26 negative tiles is -10.

Explanation:

One way to solve this problem is by considering the positive and negative tiles as positive and negative numbers, respectively. If we have 16 positive tiles and we subtract 26 negative tiles, we end up with a deficit of 10 negative tiles. Therefore, the integer that can be represented by these tiles is -10 (option B).

a scale drawing has scale 1:20. in real life the length of a boat is 150m what is the length of the boat on the scale drawing. Answer in centimetres

Answers

To find the size of the scale, we must divide its size by 20 (because the scale is 1:20). Doing that we get 150/20=7.5m=750cm. Hope this helps!

Length of boat on the scale in centimeter is 750 cm.

Here,

A scale drawing has scale 1 : 20.

Length of boat = 150 m

We have to find length of boat on the scale in centimeter.

What is value of meter in centimeter?

The value of one meter is 100 centimeter.

Now,

A scale drawing has scale 1 : 20.

Length of boat = 150 m

Hence, Length of boat on the scale = 150 ÷ 20 = 7.5 meter

So, Length of boat on the scale in cm = 7.5m =  7.5 x 100 cm = 750 cm

Therefore, Length of boat on the scale in centimeter is 750 cm.

Hey there!

3x+6y=12

Divide both sides by 3 and your equation would now look like:

Move the x to the other side
2y= -x+4
Seprate the y by dividing both sides by 2
y= [tex] \frac{1}{2} [/tex]x+2
3x + 6y = 12

3x(-3x) + 6y = 12 (-3x)

6y = -3x + 12

6(y)/6 = (-3x + 12)/6

The width of a rectangle is 8 inches shorter than its length. The perimeter of the rectangle is 18 square cm. What are the length and width? Which equation models this problem?

A. 8 x L = 18 - 8
B. L(L - 8) = 18
C. L + (8 + 2L) = 18
D. 2L + 2 (L - 8) = 18

Answers

answer:
D. 2L+2(L-8) = 18

Answer:

Option D. 2[L + ( L-8)] = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of rectangle is L and width is W

The width of a rectangle is 8 meters shorter than its length

Then equation will be W = L - 8 -----------(1)

The perimeter of the rectangle is 18 cm

Then P = 18 cm = 2 ( l + w )

2(l + w) = 18 ----------(2)

Now we substitute the value of W from equation (1) to equation (2)

2[L + ( L-8)] = 18

Option D. is the answer.

Advantage Airlines has a set fee for each checked bag, plus an additional charge for each pound the bag weighs. The cost is a linear fund of the weight?

What is the rate of change of this function?

Answers

Change in cost = 40 - 25 = 15 dollars

Change in weight = 50 - 20 = 30 pounds

Divide the two results to get 15/30 = 0.5

The rate of change is 0.5 dollars per pound meaning that each time you add a pound, the cost goes up by $0.50 (50 cents)

The rate of change of this function is 0.50.

Rates

Since Advantage Airlines has a set fee for each checked bag, plus an additional charge for each pound the bag weighs, to determine what is the rate of change of this function, knowing that 20 lbs cost $25 and 50 lbs cost $40, you must perform the following calculation:

25 / 20 = X1.25 = X40 / 50 = X0.8 = X1.25 - 0.8 = 0.45
