- 田 Note: Figure not drawn to scale. Ally's tricycle has two different wheel sizes: one larger wheel and two smaller wheels. As Ally travels the distance between her house and her neighbor's house on the tricycle, the larger wheel revolves 10 times and each of the smaller wheels revolve 25 times. If half the circumference of the larger wheel is 5 inches more than the circumference of one of the smaller wheels, what is the distance, in inches, traveled by the tricycle between Ally's house and her neighbor's house?arrow_forwardWhich of the following division problems have the same quotient?

- Massimo and his friends were given 960 feet of rope in phys. ed class, so that they couldmake the boundaries of 3 equal sized rectangles where they would be playing socially distancedgames. The rectangles had to be connected to each other. Mr. Notice drew a quick sketch ofhow to arrange the rectangles. It was up to Massimo to calculate the dimensions that would givethe greatest possible area for each rectangle.Massimo created an equation where xwas equal to the width of one rectanglein feet and 480 − 2x was the length in feetof all three rectangles combined.Area(Three Rectangles) = (Width)(Length)Area(Three Rectangles) = (x)(480 − 2x) Show all work. Use the above equation, expand, simplify and complete the square.From the information you calculate, determine the following:a) The greatest possible area for one of the three the rectangles.b) The dimensions of one of the rectangles.arrow_forwardA batch of brownies uses 3/4 cup of butter.

- John lines up all 15 plants in his garden. The plants are arranged so that the rightmost plant is the tallest of the plants and every plant after the first one is 3 cm tallerthan the plant to its immediate left. If the sum of the height of the shortest plant andthe plant to the immediate left of the middle plant is equal to the midrange of theheight of the 15 plants, how many centimeter tall is the tallest plant?arrow_forwardFind the area of the large rectangle shown to the right in two ways. a.

The area of the playground needs to be 256 square yards for the children to use it safely. The playground will be rectangular. The city will also put a fence around the playground. The perimeter, P, of the fence includes the gates. To save money, the city wants the least perimeter of fencing for the area of 256 square yards. Jovana was trying to find a formula for that perimeter with one side 8 yards longer than the other side using the area. In which step did she make a mistake? Step 1: A = x( x+8 ) = 256 Step 2: 256 = X + 8 Step 3: P = 2[ x+( x+8 ) ] Step 4: 2P=x+( x+8 Step 5: 256 P = x+ 256 P -x = Step 6: X Step 7: P-1 - 256 %3D Explain her mistake.

If the average cost is the total cost divided by the number of books printed, find the average cost of producing 10,000 textbooks. The average cost of producing 10,000 textbooks is $.c. Find the cost to produce one more textbook when you have already produced 10,000 textbooks. If you have already produced 10,000 textbooks, it'll cost you $ to produce one more.arrow_forwardTwo thousand (2000) kg of steel containing 8% nickel is to be made by mixing a steel containing 14% with another steel containing 6% nickel.
