A tailor cut 1/2 inch off a skirt and 1/6 inch off a pair of pants. which garment had the greater amount cut off

Answers

Answer 1

The garment that had the greater amount cut off is the skirt

Explanation:

Amount cut off from skirt = 1/2

Amount cut off from pants = 1/6

To determine the grament witht he greater cut, we need to find the LCM of the fractions

[tex]\text{LCM of the denominator, 2 and 6 = 12}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{1}{2},\frac{1}{6}=\frac{6(1),2(1)}{12}=\frac{6,\text{ 2}}{12} \\ \text{the fraction with higher number of numerator had the greater amount cut off} \end{gathered}[/tex]

The fractor with higher number in the numerator = 1/2 has it has 6 has the numerator

In other words, 1/2 > 1/6

The garment that had the greater amount cut off is the skirt

Answers

Given:

The figure with sides measurements.

Required:

Find area of the figure.

Explanation:

First we will draw figure

In figure, we can see that all figure ABIJ, CDHI and EFGH are rectangles.

So, we need area of rectangle formula. That is

[tex]A=length\times width[/tex]

So, area of given figure

[tex]\begin{gathered} A=\text{ Area of ABIJ +Are of CDHI + Area of EFGH} \\ ABIJ=EFGH \\ So, \\ A=2\times(ABIJ)+CDHI \\ A=2\times(7\times5)+(4\times3) \\ A=70+12 \\ A=82yd^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Find x, where a=14 degrees and b=22 degrees. Find the measure of each angle of the polygon. Shown below.

Answers

To answer this question, we need to remember that the sum of the interior angles of a quadrilateral is equal to 360º (in fact, we can divide a quadrilateral into two triangles, and the sum of interior angles of a triangle is equal to 180º).

Then, we have that a = 14º and b = 22º, then we can state the next equation:

[tex](2x+14^{\circ})+(3x+22^{\circ})+2x+x=360^{\circ}[/tex]

And now, we can solve the equation for x as follows:

1. Add the like terms as follows:

[tex](2x+3x+2x+x)+14^{\circ}+22^{\circ}=360^{\circ}[/tex][tex]8x+36^{\circ}=360^{\circ}[/tex]

2. Subtract 36º from both sides of the equation:

[tex]8x+36^{\circ}-36^{\circ}=360^{\circ}-36^{\circ}\Rightarrow8x=324^{\circ}[/tex]

3. Divide both sides by 8 as follows:

[tex]\frac{8x}{8}=\frac{324^{\circ}}{8}\Rightarrow x=40.5^{\circ}[/tex]

Therefore, the value for x = 40.5º

Then, we can find the values for the measure of angle A as follows:

[tex]m\angle A=2(40.5^{\circ})+14^{\circ}=95^{\circ}[/tex]

The measure of angle B is

[tex]m\angle B=3(40.5^{\circ}_{})+22^{\circ}=143.5^{\circ}[/tex]

The measure of angle C is

[tex]m\angle C=x^{\circ}=40.5^{\circ}[/tex]

The measure of angle D is

[tex]m\angle D=2(40.5^{\circ})=81^{\circ}[/tex]

A) Find the simple interest amount earned for $5500 at 6.5% for 5 months. b)What is the total value of the investment?

Answers

The simple interest I on an amount P invested at an interest rate R %, for a period of time T per annum is evaluated as

[tex]I\text{ = }P\times R\times T[/tex]

A) The interest earned at $5500 at 6.5% for 5 months is thus evaluated as

[tex]\begin{gathered} P\text{ = 5500} \\ R\text{ = 6.5\% = }\frac{6.5}{100} \\ T\text{ = 5 months = }\frac{5}{12}\text{ year} \\ thus, \\ I\text{ = }5500\times\frac{6.5}{100}\times\frac{5}{12} \\ \Rightarrow I\text{ = \$ 148.958} \end{gathered}[/tex]

thus, the interest earned for $5500 at 6.5% for 5 months is $ 148.985.

B) Total value of the investment.

The total value of the investment is the sum of the interest earned and the initial amount invested.

Thus,

[tex]\begin{gathered} Total\text{ value of investment = interest earned + amount invested} \\ A\text{ = I + P} \\ A\text{ = 148.985 + 5500} \\ \Rightarrow A\text{ = \$ 5648.985} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Hence, the total value of the investment is $ 5648.985.

The area of the shaded region = Area of A + Area of B + Area of C

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Area of A = }\frac{Base\text{ x Heigth}}{2} \\ \text{Base = 9} \\ \text{Height = 1}2 \\ \text{Area of A = }\frac{9\text{ x 12}}{2} \\ =\text{ }\frac{108}{2} \\ =54in^2 \\ \text{Area of B = }\frac{Base\text{ x Height}}{2} \\ =\text{ }\frac{9\text{ x 12}}{2} \\ =\text{ }\frac{108}{2} \\ \text{= 54 in}^2 \end{gathered}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Area of rectangle C = Length }\times\text{ Breadth} \\ Lenght\text{ = 32} \\ \text{Breadth = 12} \\ \text{Area of C = 32 x 12} \\ =384in^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]

(8.5-2x)(11-2x)(x) what is the approximate value of x that would allow you to construct an
open-top box with the largest volume possible from one piece of paper

Answers

The largest volume possible from one piece of paper for open-top box is 64.296 cubic unit.

What is meant by the term maxima?The maxima point on the curve will be the highest point within the given range, and the minima point will be the lowest point just on curve. Extrema is the product of maxima and minima.

For the given question dimensions of open-top box;

The volume is given by the equation;

V = (8.5-2x)(11-2x)(x)

Simplifying the equation;

V = x(4x² - 39x + 93.5)

Differentiate the equation with respect to x using the product rule.

dV/dx = x(8x -39) + (4x² - 39x + 93.5)

dV/dx = 8x² - 39x + 4x² - 39x + 93.5

dV/dx = 12x² - 72x + 93.5

Put the Derivative equals zero to get the critical point.

12x² - 72x + 93.5 = 0.

Solve using quadratic formula to get the values.

x = 4.1  and x = 1.9

Put each value of x in the volume to get the maximum volume;

V(4.1) =  4.1(4(4.1)² - 39(4.1) + 93.5)

V(4.1) = 3.44 cubic unit.

V(1.9) = 1.9(4(1.9)² - 39(1.9) + 93.5)

V(1.9) = 64.296 cubic unit. (largest volume)

Thus, the largest/maximum volume possible from one piece of paper for open-top box is 64.296 cubic unit.

Answers

Domain of a function

We have the function M(n):

M( n ) = 9 · n

which describes the amount of money the theater takes.

Since the domain of a function refers to the values n can take and n is the number of costumers

In this particular case we do not have a restriction of the number of costumers. Then n can take the following values:

n = 0, 1 , 2, 3, ...

Domain: all non- negative integers

If the maximum capacity of the theater is 100 costumers then

n = 0, 1, 2, 3, ..., 100

A fraction is a number that is a component of a whole. In algebra, fractions can be added, subtracted, multiplied, and divided just like in basic arithmetic.

The given equation is an algebraic fraction having variables in the numerator. This equation is written as,

Find FG.FL x + 113x + 1EН.FG=

Answers

Answer:

FG = 16

Explanation:

The triangles EFG and EHG are congruent because they share the side EG and they have the same interior angles.

If they are congruent the lengths of the corresponding sides are equal, so we can write the following equation:

FG = GH

Then, subtitute FG = x + 11 and GH = 3x + 1 to get:

x + 11 = 3x + 1

So, solving for x, we get:

x + 11 = 3x + 1

x + 11 - 1 = 3x + 1 - 1

x + 10 = 3x

x + 10 - x = 3x - x

10 = 2x

10/2 = 2x/2

5 = x

Then, replacing x by 5, we get that FG is equal to:

FG = x + 11

FG = 5 + 11

FG = 16

So, the answer is FG = 16

The interest earned on savings that is computed using both the original principal and the interest accrued over time is known as compound interest.

It is thought that Italy in the 17th century is where the concept of "interest on interest" or compound interest first appeared. It will accelerate the growth of a total more quickly than simple interest, which is solely calculated on the principal sum.

Money multiplies more quickly thanks to compounding, and the more compounding periods there are, the higher the compound interest will be.

P = principal

i = nominal annual interest rate in percentage terms

n = number of compounding periods

formula for compound interest is [tex]P [(1 + i)^n - 1][/tex]

According to the question

P=15000

i = ?

compound interest = 87,219.93

n=17 years

Therefore

[tex]87219.93=15000 [(1 + i)^1^7 - 1][/tex]

[tex]\frac{87219.93}{15000} = [(1 + i)^1^7 - 1][/tex]

[tex]6.814662 = (1+i)^1^7[/tex]

[tex](6.814662)^\frac{1}{17} = (1+i)[/tex]

i =1.1195-1

i =0.1195

i.e. 11.95%
