If 18 inches is equal to 1 and 1/2 feet, how many feet long is a 36 inch board, a 72 inch board, and a 144 inch board? (Show work)


Pls help!!

Answers

Answer 1

18 inches=  1 1/2 feet= 1.5 feet

18 inches = 1.5 feet

what is distance ?

Distance is a numerical or occasionally qualitative measurement of how far apart objects or point are . it is a total movement of an object without any regard to direction.

(1) Now we make a proportion to find feet for given inches

   feet/inches = feet / inches

   1.5/18 = x/36

   1.5 * 36 = 18*x

   54 = 18 x (Divide by 18 on both sides)

    x = 3

    3 feet long is a 36 inch board

 (2) 72 inch board

      1.5 * 72 = 18*x

      108 = 18 x (Divide by 18 on both sides)

       x = 6

      6 feet long is a 72 inch board

(3) 144 inch board

     1.5 * 144 = 18*x

     216 = 18 x (Divide by 18 on both sides)

      x = 12

      12 feet long is a 144 inch board

if you were to extract 15000 mcubic from a lake each year for 15 years, how far would the lake level fall? total volume of water given as 5400000 m cubic and water depth of the lake is 4 m

Answers

Answer:

[tex]d=0.17m[/tex]

Explanation: Each year a volume of 15,000 cubic meters is taken from the lake for 15 years, the lake has a surface area of 1.35 square kilometers and a depth of 4m. We have to find the fall in the depth of the river after 15 years:

The total water taken out of the lake in 15 years is:

[tex]\begin{gathered} T=(15,000m^3)\times15=225,000m^3 \\ \\ T_w=225,000m^3 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore the fall in height is:

[tex]\begin{gathered} A\times d=(225,000m^3) \\ \\ \\ A=1.35km^2=1,350,000m^2 \\ \\ \\ A=1,350,000m^2 \\ \\ \\ \therefore\Rightarrow \\ \\ \\ (1,350,000m^2)d=(225,000m^3) \\ \\ \\ \\ d=\frac{(225,000m3)}{(1,350,000m^2)}=0.1666666666 \\ \\ \\ \\ d\approx0.17m \\ \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore the height of the lake will reduce by 0.17me.

a pizza shop delivered 8 pepperoni pizzas to a college on the first night of final exams. the total cost of the pizzas was $56. a small pizza costs $3 and contains 4 ounces of pepperoni. a medium pizza costs $5 and contains 9 ounces of pepperoni. a large pizza cost $11 and contains 12 ounces of pepperoni. the owner of the pizza shop used 4 pounds 12 ounces of pepperoni in making the pizzas. how many pizzas of each size were delivered to the college?

Answers

From the word problem given, the number of pizzas each that were delivered are:

1 small7 medium; and2 large.
What is the calculation justifying the above solution?

Step I

Let a = number of small pizzas delivered

Let b = number of medium pizzas delivered

Let c = number of large pizzas delivered

Step 2 - Creating relevant expressions based on number and type ordered, we have:

a + b + c = 8.............................1

3a + 5b + 11c = 56..................2
4a + 9b + 12C = 4 * 8 + 12.....3a

We can rewrite (3) as
4a + 9b + 12C = 44 ....3b

Step 3

Multiply both sides of (1) by 4

We have

4a +4b +4c = 32

If we remove (1) from (3) we have

4a + 9b + 12C = 44

-
4a +4b +4c = 32
5b +8C = 12......................(4)

Multiply both sides of (1) by 3 and subtract from (2), and we have:

3a + 3b + 3c = 24, removing this from (2) we have

3a + 5b + 11c = 56

-
3a + 3b + 3c = 24
2b + 8c = 32.....................(5)

Step 4 - Subtract (4) from (5)

2b + 8c = 32
-
5b + 8c = 12
-3b = 20

b = - 20/3

= - 6.67
Since we cannot have negative values, we work with absolute value to get:

b [tex]\approx[/tex] 7

Since b = 7

2(7) + 8c = 32
8c = 32 - 14
c = 18/8

c [tex]\approx[/tex] 2


Plug in that back into a we have

a + b + c = 8
a + 7 + 2 = 8

a = 8-9
a = -1 (recall we must have absolute values)
a therefore = 1.

Hence the number of pizzas that were ordered are:

1 small
7 medium; and

2 large.

In 1787 the French scientist Jacques Charles observed that when he plotted the graph of volume of a fixed amount of air versus the temperature of the air, the points lay along a straight line. Therefore, he concluded that volume of a gas varies linearly with temperature. Suppose that at 27º C a certain amount of air occupies a volume of 500 cm3. When it is warmed to 90º C, it occupies 605 cm3.
a) Write the particular equation in slope-intercept form expressing volume in terms of temperature.
b) Predict the volume at 60º C.
c) The process of predicting a value between two data points is called “interpolation”.
What is the origin of the word?
d) Predict the volume at 300º C.
e) The process of predicting a value beyond any given data points is called

Answers

The relationship between the volume, V, and temperature, T, of a given mass of gas, found by the French scientist Jacques Charles, gives;

a) The slope–intercept form of the equation that expresses the volume in terms of the temperature of the gas is; [tex] \displaystyle{ V = 1. \bar 6 \cdot T + 455}[/tex]

b) The volume at 60 °C is 555 cm³

c) Interpolation originates from the verb interpolare

d) The temperature at 300 °Cis 955 cm³

e) Extrapolation originates from 'extra' (meaning outside) and the shortened form of Interpolation

f) The temperature–intercept is -273 °C

g) The special name is the absolute zero temperature

What is Charles law for gases?

Charles law states that the volume of a given mass of gas is directly proportional to its temperature given in Kelvin.

Mathematically, Charles Law states that; V = K•T

Where;

V = The volume of the gas

T = The gas temperature

K = The proportionality constant

The volume occupied by the gas at 27 °C = 500 cm³

The volume occupied at 90 °C = 605 cm³

a) To write the equation in slope–intercept form, we have;

[tex] \displaystyle{ Slope = \frac{605 - 500}{90 - 27} =1. \bar{6} =1. \bar{6}}[/tex]

The equation of the line in point and slope form is therefore;

Point–slope form; [tex] \displaystyle{ V - 500 = 1. \bar{6} \times (T - 27) }[/tex]

[tex] \displaystyle{ V = 1. \bar{6} \cdot T -45 + 500 = 1. \bar{6} \cdot T + 455}[/tex]

The equation in slope–intercept form of expressing the volume, V, in terms of the temperature, T, is therefore;

Volume equation; [tex] \displaystyle{ V = 1. \bar{6} \cdot T + 455}[/tex]

b) The volume at 60 °C is given from the equation that gives the volume, V, in terms of time, T as follows;

[tex] \displaystyle{ V(T) = 1. \bar{6} \cdot T + 455}[/tex]

When T = 60 °C

[tex] \displaystyle{ V(60) = 1. \bar{6} \times 60 + 455=555}[/tex]

The volume occupied by the gas at 60 °C is 555 cm³

c) The word interpolate originated from the Latin word interpolare which means to alter or refurbish

d) The volume occupied by the gas at 300 °C is given by the function for the volume, V, in terms of temperature, T, equation as follows;

When T = 300 °C

[tex] \displaystyle{ V(300) = 1. \bar{6} \times 300 + 455 = 955}[/tex]

The volume of the gas at 300 °C is 955 cm³

e) Extrapolation originate from the word 'extra' which refers to the outside of an area. Extra is combined with a short form of interpolate to give the word, extrapolation

f) When the volume is zero, the volume function equation can be used to find the temperature as follows;

Volume function; [tex] \displaystyle{ V = 1. \bar{6} \cdot T + 455}[/tex]

When V = 0

[tex] \displaystyle{ V = 0 =1. \bar{6} \cdot T + 455}[/tex]

[tex] \displaystyle{ -455 = 1. \bar{6} \cdot T }[/tex]

[tex] \displaystyle{T = \frac{3 \times (-455)}{5}= -273 }[/tex]

The temperature at which the volume of the gas is zero is -273 °C

g) The special name given to -273 °C of the gas is the absolute zero temperature.

The value of a negative number such that the sum of that number and its square is 42 is -7.

What are negative numbers?A negative number is one that always has a value lower than zero and is denoted by the minus (-) symbol. On a number line, negative numbers are displayed to the left of zero. Negative numbers include -6 and -15 as examples.

Let the negative number be -x.

According to the question, the sum of the negative number and its square is 42.

So, we form an equation

- x + (-x)² = 42

x² - x - 42 = 0

Solving the quadratic equation,

x² - 7x + 6x - 42 = 0

x(x - 7) + 6(x - 7) = 0

(x - 7)(x + 6) = 0

x = -6 and x = 7

We have taken the number -x to be negative.

So, -x = -6 and -x = 7

x = 6 and x = -7

Hence, the value of the negative number is -7.

The set which is a function is B = [(1, Z), ( 2, Y), (3, X)]

What is a function ?

Each element of X receives exactly one element of Y when a function from one set to the other is used. The sets X and Y are collectively referred to as the function's domain and codomain, respectively.

Since, we know that function does not repeat any x coordinate

Which means, the first coordinate of every pair does not repeat

Therefore the first coordinates which is repeated is not a function

Now, let's check out the given sets and check whether its a function or not

A = [(4,6), (A, B), (A, 6)], is not a function

Since, its first coordinate is repeated

C = {(6,9), (6,6), (6,9), is not a function

Since, its first coordinate is repeated

B = [(1, Z), ( 2, Y), (3, X)], is a function

Because, its first coordinate is not  repeated

Which of the following does the Pythagorean Theorem reveal

Answers

According to the Pythagorean theorem, "in a right-angled triangle, the squares of the hypotenuse side is equivalent to the sum of squares of the other two sides," the hypotenuse side is the longest side of the triangle.

This is further explained below.

What is Pythagorean Theorem?

Generally, The Pythagorean theorem is a well-known geometric theorem that states the number of squares just on the legs of a right triangle is equal to the square just on the hypotenuse (the side that is opposite the right angle).

This theorem can also be expressed in the familiar algebraic notation of a2 + b2 = c2, where a and b are the lengths of the legs of the triangle.

The Pythagorean theorem, sometimes known as Pythagoras' theorem, is an essential connection in Euclidean geometry that describes the relationships between the three sides of a right triangle.

It indicates that the total of the areas of the squares on the other two sides is equal to the area of the square whose side is the hypotenuse.

In conclusion, This means that the area of the square whose side is the hypotenuse is equal to that amount.

Number of green pens = x - 1
Total number of pens = 2x + 3 - 1 = 2x + 2

P(second green pen | first green pen)

[tex]=\dfrac{x-1}{2x + 2}[/tex]

P(2 green pens) = P(first green pen) x P(second green pen)
[tex]= \dfrac{x}{2x + 3} \times \dfrac{x-1}{2x + 2}\\\\=\dfrac{x(x -1)}{(2x +3)(2x+2)}[/tex]          [1]

Probability of 2 blue pens

P( 1st blue pen) = number of blue pens/total number of pens
[tex]=\dfrac{x + 3}{2x + 3}[/tex]

P(second blue pen = (number of pens remaining if first was blue) ÷ total number of pens - 1

If the first pen taken was blue then there will be 2x + 3 - 1 blue pens out of a total of 2x + 3 - 1 pens

P(2nd blue pen | first blue pen)

[tex]=\dfrac{x + 2}{2x + 2}[/tex]

[tex]\text{P(2 blue pens)} =\dfrac{x + 3}{2x + 3} \times \dfrac{x + 2}{2x + 2}[/tex][tex]=\dfrac{(x + 3)(x+2)}{(2x + 3)({2x + 2})}[/tex]  [2]

The probability of either 2 green pens or 2 blue pens is the sum of the two probability expressions [1] and [2]

[tex]= \dfrac{x(x -1)}{(2x +3)(2x+2)} + \dfrac{(x + 3)(x+2)}{(2x + 3)({2x + 2})}[/tex]

[tex]= \dfrac{x(x - 1)+ (x + 3) (x +2)}{(2x + 3)(2x + 2)}\\\\\\= \dfrac{2x^2+4x+6}{(2x + 3)(2x + 2)}\\\\\\\\[/tex]

Numerator: factor out 2 to get 2(x² + 2x + 3)

denominator = 4x²+10x+6 = 2 (2x² + 5x + 3)

2 of numerator and 2 of denominator cancel out to give the final expression:

[tex]\dfrac{x^2\:+\:2x\:+\:3}{2x^2+\:5x\:+\:3}[/tex]

But we are given that the probability of picking 2 pens of the same color = 27/55

This will give us:
[tex]\dfrac{x^2\:+\:2x\:+\:3}{2x^2+\:5x\:+\:3} = \dfrac{27}{55}[/tex]

Cross-multiplying we get

[tex]55\left(x^2+\:2x\:+\:3\right)=27\left(2x^2+\:5x\:+\:3\right)[/tex]

=> [tex]55x^2+110x+165 = 54x^2+135x+81[/tex]

Grouping like terms and simplifying gives
[tex]x^2-25x+84=0[/tex]

This is a quadratic equation which can be solved using a scientific calculator (as I did)

The solution set is

x = 21, x = 4

Remember x = number of green pens. We can ignore x = 4 because the total number of pens given by the expression 2x + 3 will be less than 12 and we are told there are more than 12 pens total

So the solution is x = 21 (number of green pens)
Number of blue pens = x + 3 = 21 + 3 = 24

Answer: Green Pens : 21   and Blue Pens: 24
