40 cm.

let the length of the first part be 3x, second part be 4x, third part be 5x.

where x is a positive length in cm.

why 3x,4x and 5x ?

so that the ratio of lengths of the 3 parts be 3:4:5.

total length of the stick = 3x + 4x + 5x = 12x=96cm

so x=96/12 = 8cm

therefore the largest part of the stick (5x)= 5*8 =40cm

In 2001 the mint indoor pool vault record was 20 and 1/6 the women’s record for the indoor pool vault was 15 and 5/12 FT what is

blondinia [14]

Answer:

35 and 7/12 feet is the combined height of the two records.

Step-by-step explanation:

Height of the indoor pool vault record for men = 20 and 1/6 ft = $\frac{121}{6} ft$

Height of indoor pool vault record for women = 15and 5/12 ft = $\frac{185}{12} ft$

The combined height of the two records :

$\frac{121}{6} ft+\frac{185}{12} ft$

$\frac{121\times 2}{6\times 2} ft+\frac{185}{12} ft$

$\frac{242}{12} ft+\frac{185}{12} ft$

$\frac{242+185}{12} ft=\frac{427}{12}=35\frac{7}{12}$

35 and 7/12 feet is the combined height of the two records.

The local shelter decided to build an addition for cats hey borrowed $6300 from a local bank at a rate of 8% the high school hel

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

$378

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the interest that the shelter payed on this loan, we use the formula: $I=Prt$ .

P = $6,300

r = 8% or 0.08

t = 9/12

Now we substitute the values into our formula.

$I=Prt$ .

$I=6,300(0.08*\dfrac{9}{12})$

$I=6,300(0.08*0.75)$

$I=6,300(0.06)$

$I=$378$

So the shelter payed a total of $378 in interest to the bank.

How to factor 1-49c^2

Dima020 [189]

Ok so this is a difference of 2 perfect squares
1=1^2
49c^2=(7c)^2
to factor you remember
a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b) so

1^2-(7c)^2=(1+7c)(1-7c)
