Charlie has a collection of books that he wishes to display in a narrow bookcase with shelves of width 56cm. The thickest books are no more than 16cm wide and, when placed side by side, the entire collection takes up 2.4m. Find, with justification, the minimum number of shelves required to guarantee that all of the books can be displayed in the bookcase.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

5 shelves

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Width of shelves = 56cm

Maximum thickness of books = 16cm

When placed side-by-side, the entire collection of books takes up 2.4m

Minimum number of shelves required to guarantee that all of the books can be displayed in the book case.

Entire book collection = 2.4m = (2.4 × 100) = 240cm

Width of shelf = 56cm

In other to guarantee that the bookshelf contains all the books, we can assume that the each book is of maximum width, 16cm

Hence, maximum number of books each shelf can hold with guarantee

Width of shelf / max. Width of book

= 56cm / 16cm = 3.5

Hence, a shelf can hold 3 books with full guarantee.

If books are all 16cm thick, then the number of books ;

240 cm / 16 cm = 15 books

If one shelf can hold 3 books, then,

15/3 = 5 shelves are required to hold the books with maximum guarantee.

A group of 24 students have recess together. They are making teams to play a game. Each team has to have exactly 5 players, and no one can be than one team. How many teams can they make? ( it is possible that not everyone can be on a team.)​

Answers

They can make 4 teams and have 4 players that won’t be in a team.

This is because 5*5 is 25 but they don’t have 25 players so you would have to go down which is 4*5=20. Sorry if that’s very confusing but hope that helps!

Step-by-step explanation:

Th explicit formula of a geometric sequence has the following format:

[tex]x_n=a(r)^{n-1}[/tex]

Where a is the initial term and r is the common ratio.

From the recursive formula, we can see that each subsequent term is multiplied by 13. Thus, the common ratio is 13.

Also, we are given that the first term is 7.

So, substituting these in, we have:

[tex]x_n=7(13)^{n-1}[/tex]

Choose the expression that is correctly simplified and best represents their total wages. A. 56x – 48 B. 40x – 48 C. 31x – 3 D. 40x – 3

Answers

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Ben worked 6 hours at x dollars per hour. That is,

Ben earns = 6x

Julie worked 9 hours and earned twice as much as Ben per hour. That is,

Julie earns = 9 × 2x = 18x

Phil worked 16 hours and earned 3 dollars an hour less than Julie

That is,

Phil earns = 16 × ( 2x - 3 )

= 32x - 48

Total wages = 6x + 18x + 32x - 48

Total wages = 56x - 48

hours. What is the change in the water level per hour for Min-jun's
swimming pool? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

Answers

You will need to drain 1016.308 gallons an hour

Answer:

The change in the water level per hour for Min-Jun's swimming pool is 1016.31 Gallons per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have a total amount of 10,874.5 gallons and 10.7 hours total to drain the full pool we divide the total amount by the total time, assuming that the pool drains at a constant rate. When we divide 10,874.5 by 10.7 we get 10.16.3084... and rounding it to the nearest hundreth or the second decimal place we get 1,016.31 gallons per hour.

Multiplication is when you times two different numbers together where its negative or postive(you can multiple pretty much anything together)but combining like terms are number or letters thats the same. For instance, say if i have 4x+7-2x+3, i would combine each term that has something in common with it,like, 4x and 2x because both has X and i will combine 7 and 3 because those two are regular numbers and does not have an X like the others.

A new Youth Activity Center is being built in Hadleyville. The perimeter of the rectangular playing field is 430 yards. The length of the field is 5 yards less than quadruple the width. What are the dimensions of the

playing field?

The width is yards.

The length is yards.

Answers

Answer:

Width = 44 yards

Length = 171 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Perimeter of the rectangular field = 430 yards.

Let:

The length of the field be L

The width of the field be W.

From the question:

The length of the field is 5yards less than quadruple the width. This implies that;

L = 4W - 5

But.

Perimeter (P) of a rectangle is given by:

P = 2(L + W)       ---------------(i)

Substitute the values of P = 430, L = 4W - 5 and W into equation (i) as follows;

430 = 2(4W - 5 + W)

430 = 2(5W - 5)

430 = 10W - 10

10W = 430 + 10

10W = 440

Divide both sides by 10

W = 44

Therefore, the width of the field is 44 yards.

Remember that,

L = 4W - 5          

[Now substitute W = 44]

L = 4(44) - 5

L = 176 - 5

L = 171

Therefore, the length of the field is 171 yards

Step 2: Add 2x on both sides

x + 2x + 9 = 18 - 2x + 2x

3x + 9 = 18

Step 3: Subtract 9 on both sides

3x + 9 - 9 = 18 - 9

3x = 9

Step 4: Divide both sides by 3

3x/3 = 9/3

x = 3
