Answer:

Length= 30 in

Width= 10 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width of the rectangle be x in.

Length of rectangle

= 3 (width)

= 3x

Perimeter of rectangle= 2(length) +2(width)

80= 2(3x) +2(x)

80= 6x +2x

8x= 80 (simplify)

x= 80 ÷8 (÷8 on both sides)

x= 10

Thus width of rectangle= 10 in

Length of rectangle

= 3(10)

= 30 in

The volumes of a water balloon and an air balloon after they are punctured are represented by the

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

Both air balloon and water balloon data are best modeled by an exponential function.

Step-by-step explanation:

Air balloon

Time (seconds) Volume (cubic centimeters)

0 95

3 69

6 50

9 37

12 27

The relation Volume variation/time is constant for lines, In this case, this value change from point to point, as can be seen next.

(69 - 95)/3 = -8.67

(50 - 69)/3 = -6.33

(37 - 50)/3 = -4.33

(27 - 37)/3 = -3.33

Water balloon

Time (seconds) Volume (cubic centimeters)

0 30

3 15.8

6 7.8

9 4

12 2

(30 - 15.8)/-3 = -4.73

(15.8 - 7.8)/-3 = -2.67

(7.8 - 4)/-3 = -1.27

(4 - 2)/-3 = -0.67

In this case, the relation Volume variation/time also change from point to point.

Then, both air balloon and water balloon data are best modeled by an exponential function.

Help me on this question! Jake can carry 6 1/4 pounds of wood in from the barn.His father can carry 1 5/7 times as much as jake.

ioda

$\text{ Jake father can carry } 10\frac{5}{7} \text{ or } \frac{75}{7} \text{ pounds }$

Solution:

From given question,

Number of pounds Jake carry = $6\frac{1}{4} \text{ pounds }$

Number of pounds his father carry is $1\frac{5}{7}$ times as much as jake

To find: Number of pounds Jake father can carry

Convert the mixed fractions to improper fractions

Multiply the whole number part by the fraction's denominator.

Add that to the numerator.

Then write the result on top of the denominator

$\rightarrow 6\frac{1}{4} = \frac{4 \times 6+1}{4} = \frac{25}{4}\\\\\rightarrow 1\frac{5}{7} = \frac{7 \times 1+5}{7} = \frac{12}{7}$

Then according to question,

$\text{Pounds father carry } = \frac{12}{7} \text{ times the pounds jake carry }\\\\\text{Pounds father carry } = \frac{12}{7} \times \frac{25}{4}\\\\\text{Pounds father carry } = \frac{75}{7}\\\\\text{In terms of mixed fractions, }\\\\\text{Pounds father carry } = \frac{75}{7} = 10\frac{5}{7}$
