Let s be an integer. Alonso claims that -s must always be less than 0. IIiana claims that -s is only sometimes less than 0. Whose statement is correct? Help please.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: Iliana is correct since an integer means a whole number that is not a fraction, which includes negative AND positive numbers. If s=4 than -s is negative (-4) But if we plug in a negative integer, like -5, the negative signs are eliminated and it becomes positive, therefore Alonso is wrong (-s=-(-5)=5) If the question was about a natural number Alonso would have been right since natural numbers are only from 0 and above

Am artist build a sculpture out of metal and wood that weighs 14.9 kilograms.3/4 of this weight is metal, and the rat is wood. How much does the wood part of the sculpture weigh?

Answers

¹/₄ part or 3.725 kilograms

Further explanation

Given:

An artist builds a sculpture out of metal and wood that weighs 14.9 kilograms,

³/₄ of this weight is metal, and
the rest is wood.

Question:

How much does the wood part of the sculpture weighs?

The Process:

From the information above, we make a diagram that matches the composition of the sculpture material.

$\boxed{metal}\boxed{metal}\boxed{metal}\boxed{wood} = 14.9 \ kilograms$

³/₄ of this weight is metal, and
the rest is wood, which is $\boxed{ \ 1 - (3)/(4) = (1)/(4) \ }$ .

And now, let us calculate the wood part of the sculpture weighs.

$\boxed{ \ = (1)/(4) * 14.9 \ kilograms \ }$

Both 4 and 14.9 are multiplied by 10.

$\boxed{ \ = (1)/(40) * 149 \ kilograms \ }$

$\boxed{ \ = (149)/(40) \ kilograms \ }$

Both the numerator and denominator are divided by 4.

$\boxed{ \ = (37.25)/(10) \ kilograms \ }$

$\boxed{ \ = (3,725)/(1,000) \ kilograms \ }$

$\boxed{\boxed{ \ 3.725 \ kilograms \ }}$

Thus, the wood part of the sculpture weighs is 3.725 kilograms or ¹/₄ part.

Keywords: an artist, builds a sculpture, out of metal and wood, that weighs 14.9 kilograms, 3/4, metal, the rest is wood, how much, the wood part, of the sculpture weighs

we know that 3/4 of the full weight is from metal. That means that the metal weighs 14.9 * (3/4) or 14.9 * (0.75) = 11.175kg. The wood is just this value subtracted from 14.9 thus our final answer is: 14.900 - 11.175 = 3.725.

Note: Even though the question never says to round, the actual answer might be:
14.9 - 11.2 = 3.7kg since 11.175kg is approximately 11.2kg. Also, 3.725 is approximately 3.7kg.

In August, Emily's Clothing Store sold 460 shirts with the ratio pf short sleeve to long sleeve being 3:7 How many short sleeve shirts were sold?

Answers

Answer: 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : In August, Emily's Clothing Store sold 460 shirts with the ratio of short sleeve to long sleeve being 3:7 .

Let the number of short sleeve shirts be 3x and the number of long sleeve shirts be 7x.

Then , according to the question, we have

$3x+7x=460\n\n\Rightarrow\ 10x=460\n\n\Rightarrow\ x=(460)/(10)=46$

Now, the number of short sleeve shirts sold = $3(10)=30$

Hence, 30 short sleeve shirts were sold.

Ok first we would find what it would be like if it were 1:7

so 460/3 153.3e so 153.0

153*7=1071

so 1071 Ssleeves were sold

Calebs kayak is 12 3/5 feet long. Ava's kayak is 20 2/5 feet long. How much longer is Ava's kayak?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: honestly don’t know

You can just subtract them seperatly like this:
20-12=8
2/5-3/5= -1/5
Since its negative, you have to take 1 off of the final answer and put 4/5 so the answer is 7 4/5

Another way is making it a decimal
12 3/5= 12.6
20 2/5= 20.4

20.4-12.6= 7.8
7.8=7 4/5
