A carpenter has two lengths of wood; one is 108cm long and the other is 72cm long. He wants to cut them up to produce smaller pieces of wood to build a shelving unit so they all need to be the same length, with no wood left over. What is the greatest length, in cm, that he can make the shelves?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

36 centimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. To solve this problem you must find the Greatest common factor.

2. List the prime factor of 108 and 72:

[tex]108:(2)(2)(3)(3)(3)=(2^{2})(3^{3})\\ 72:(2)(2)(2)(3)(3)=(2^{3})(3^{2})[/tex]

3. Now, you must choose the common prime numbers with the lowest exponents and multiply them:

[tex](2^{2})(3^{2})=(4)(9)=36[/tex]


Answer 2

Answer: He needs 36 cm to make the shelves.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Length of first wood = 108 cm

Length of second wood = 72 cm

We need to find the greatest length so that he can make the shelves.

Greatest length = h.c.f. of 108 and 72 { 36 cm.

Hence, he needs 36 cm to make the shelves.

Find 3 consecutive odd integers such that the sum of the smallest number and the middle number is 27 less than 3 times the largest number

Answers

Let consecutive odd numbers be  

x , x+2 , x+4

Smallest number =x

Middle number =x+2

Largest number =x+4

According to condition (x) +(x+2) -27 = 3(x+4)

                                      x+x+2-27= 3(x+4)

                                      2x-25= 3x+12

Subtracting 2x and 12 both sides

                                   2x-25-2x-12=3x+12-2x-12

                                     -37= x   this is smallest odd number.

Other two odd numbers are (x+2)= (-37+2)=(-35)

                             &                (x+4)=(-37+4)=(-33)

so three consecutive odd numbers are -37 ,-35 , -33

Hey there! :)

Answer: x = 9.4

Step-by-step explanation : How do we know this? Well, let's first rewrite our question.

(-16.1) · 9.4 · (-7.2) = x · (-7.2) · (-16.1)

Let's multiply everything out.

(-16.1 · 9.4 · -7.2) = (x · -7.2 · -16.1)

Simplify.

1089.648 = 115.92x

Our goal is to isolate x, so we should divide both sides by 115.921089.648 ÷ 115.92 = 115.92x ÷ 115.92

6.Add the expressions x + 18 and 3x − 12.
7.Subtract 3x − 4 from 5x + 7.
8.Subtract −4x + 1 from x − 2.

Answers

1) Given m represent the total number of miles Hannah walked.

Let us assume Hannah walked x miles each day.

So total number of miles Hannah walked in 5 days is m=5x.

2)Given Jimmy brought 2 books per day and Peter brought 4 books per day.

If d is the number of days the book drive, total number of books they brought

        =total number books brought by Jimmy+ total number of books brought by Peter                                                                          

        = 2d+4d = 6d

3) Given that c represent cost of the clothes.

Then 30% discount = 0.3c

Hence cost of the clothes = c-0.3c = 0.7c

4) Given c represent the cost of their meal before tipping.

And tip is 15% of the cost.

Hence tip = 0.15c

Hence total bill = c+0.15c=1.15c

5) Given that Tommy had 40$ in his pocket.

And pair of pants cost 37$ with 10% sales tax.

Hence cost of pants including sales tax = 37+37*0.1 = 40.1$ >40$

Hence Tommy cannot afford the pants with 40$ in his pocket.

For following problems, we should group the like terms together and then simplify.

Step-by-step explanation:

9. For the lines 'm' and 'n' to be parallel the sum of interior angles should be 180 degrees that is:

[tex]x+73^\circ=180^\circ[/tex]

[tex]x=107^\circ[/tex]

10. For the lines  'm' and 'n' to be parallel the alternate exterior angles should be equal that is:

[tex]x=133^\circ[/tex]

11. For the lines  'm' and 'n' to be parallel alternate angles should be equal that is:

The length of a rectangle is three times it’s width. It’s area is 75 inches squared. Find the length and width of the rectangle

Answers

The answer is 225 because 75x3 =225



Final answer:

The length of the rectangle is 15 inches and the width is 5 inches, determined by setting up an equation using the given conditions that the area is 75 square inches and the length is three times the width.

Explanation:

The question asks us to find the length and width of a rectangle given that the length is three times the width and the area of the rectangle is 75 square inches. To solve this, let's denote the width of the rectangle as w inches. The length would then be 3w inches since it is three times the width. The area of a rectangle is found by multiplying the length and width, so we can write the equation:

Area = length × width

75 = 3w × w

To find the width (w), we need to solve the quadratic equation:

w² × 3 = 75

w² = 75 / 3

w² = 25

To find w, we take the square root of 25, which gives us:

w = 5 inches

Now that we have the width, we can easily find the length by multiplying the width by 3:

Length = 3 × 5

Length = 15 inches

Therefore, the width of the rectangle is 5 inches and the length is 15 inches.

Answers

Answer:

C) Real numbers from 0 to 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a graph between depth (dependent variable) and time (independent variable). We need to figure out the domain of the given graph.

We know that domain is the set of values of independent variable for which the graph produces a finite value of dependent variable.

From the graph, we can see that for values of time between 0 and 8 minutes, the graph produces a finite value of depth. Therefore, domain of the given graph is all real numbers between 0 and 8 (inclusive).
