a carpenter is fitting some bookcases to an alcove, using as much of the space as possible from floor to ceiling, a height of 2.5 m. The books to be fitted into the shelves are 210 mm high and a gap of at least 30 mm is necessary above each book so that they can be removed. The shelves are 20 mm thick. The alcove is 1.2 m wide. The bottom shelf should not be less than 300 mm from the ground, as the house-owner cannot bend down easily. How many shelves can be fitted into the alcove?

Answers

Answer 1

The number of shelves that fit in the alcove is given by the height of each shelve and the height of the bookshelf above the ground

The number of bookshelves that fit into alcove, is 8 bookshelves

Reason:

Height of the alcove = 2.5 m

Height of the books = 210 mm = 0.21 m

The gap above each book = 30 mm = 0.03 m

The thickness of the shelves = 20 mm = 0.02 m

Width of the alcove = 1.2 m

Height of the bottom shelf above the ground = 300 mm = 0.3 m

Required:

The number of shelves that can be fitted into the alcove

Solution;

Let x, represent the number of shelves that can be fitted into the alcove

We have;

An initial height of the bookshelves above the ground = 0.3 m

Height of a shelve, H = Height of books + Gap above books + Thickness of shelves

Height above ground, including the bottom shelve = 0.3 m

[tex]x = \dfrac{2.5 - (0.3)}{0.02 + 0.03 } = 8\frac{6}{13}\approx 8.46[/tex]

Therefore, the maximum number of whole bookshelves that can be fitted into alcove, x ≈ 8 bookshelves

In a G.P the 3rd term is 4 times the 1st term and the sum of the 2nd term and the 4th term is 30.find the common ratio,find the sum of the first 7 terms​

Answers

Answer:

the common ratio is either 2 or -2.

the sum of the first 7 terms is then either 765 or 255

Step-by-step explanation:

a geometric sequence or series of progression (these are the most common names for the same thing) means that every new term of the sequence is created by multiplying the previous term by a constant factor which is called the common ratio.

so,

a1

a2 = a1×f

a3 = a2×f = a1×f²

a4 = a3×f = a1×f³

the problem description here tells us

a3 = 4×a1

and from above we know a3 = a1×f².

so, f² = 4

and therefore the common ratio = f = 2 or -2 (we need to keep that in mind).

again, the problem description tells us

a2 + a4 = 30

a1×f + a1×f³ = 30

for f = 2

a1×2 + a1×2³ = 30

2a1 + 8a1 = 30

10a1 = 30

a1 = 3

for f = -2

a1×-2 + a1×(-2)³ = 30

-10a1 = 30

a1 = -3

the sum of the first n terms of a geometric sequence is

sn = a1×(1 - f^(n+1))/(1-f) for f <>1

so, for f = 2

s7 = 3×(1 - 2⁸)/(1-2) = 3×-255/-1 = 3×255 = 765

for f = -2

s7 = -3×(1 - (-2)⁸)/(1 - -2) = -3×(1-256)/3 = -3×-255/3 =

= -1×-255 = 255

Tammy made $177 for 9 hours of work.
At the same rate, how many hours would she have to work to make $133?

THIS SHOULD BE EASY!!!!!

Answers

Answer:

7 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

If you divide

171 ÷ 9

you find the $ Tammy made in 1 hour.

171 ÷ 9 = 19

So Tammy made 19 for 1 hour of work.

Then we divide 133 by 19 to find out for how many hours she has to work.

133 ÷ 19.67 = 7. So Tammy has to work 7 hours to make $133.

4. Bob spent $30 playing paintball which
included a $16 entry fee and $3.50 per hour of
play. How many hours did Bob play?

Answers

Answer: 4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

First, set up an equation. We know that Bob spent $30 on playing paintball so we use that as our 'answer.' We need to find how many hours Bob played so we need to use x, a variable to find it. We also add 16 because we need to account for the entry fee.

3.50x + 16 = 30

Secondly, solve for x. Move 16 across the equal sign(=). Every time you move across the =, you're going to want to change the sign (if it's addition or subtraction). Since it was +16 and we're moving it, it's now -16.

3.50x = 30 - 16

Calculate 30 - 16 = 14.

Now we have

3.50 x = 14.

To calculate x, we're going to need to divide 3.50 from x. Since we multiplied by x we need to do the opposite across the =.

x = 14 / 3.50

x = 4

Bob spent 4 hours playing paintball.

You can plug it in to check answers as well

3.50 (4) +16 = 30

Area = Length X width

Let the width (breadth) = X

The length is double so it is 2x

Area = X * 2x = 2x^2

64 = x^2

take the square root of both sides:

x = 8

The breadth = 8 meters
