Community Gardens

In 1977, in New York City, people noticed something surprising. It was there in a vacant lot. It wasn’t the heaps of garbage. It was the tomato plants that were growing wild. “If vegetable plants can grow there,” some of the people thought, “why can’t we plant vegetables ourselves?” So the people cleared away the garbage. They began growing vegetables, fruits, herbs, and even flowers. The Clinton Community Garden was started.

Community gardens are found in cities all around the country. People start community gardens in vacant lots and on apartment balconies. As unbelievable as it sounds, they even tend gardens on rooftops.

What exactly is a community garden? It’s a garden that different people in a neighborhood plant and tend. It does not belong to any one person. Community gardeners eat and sometimes share the food they grow. Some community gardeners donate their food to local food banks. They give it to people who cannot afford to buy food.

Some community gardens are one large plot of land. Everyone shares in the work. They all plant seeds, weed, water, and share in the rewards. In other community gardens, the larger piece of land is divided up. People tend to their plots.

Community gardens offer many benefits. For one thing, they bring people together. Community gardeners get to know each other. Older people work alongside kids. Another benefit is the low-cost food, of course. The vegetables and fruits are also fresher and more healthful. And people tending a garden are getting fresh air and exercise.

A community garden benefits the whole community. It makes the neighborhood more beautiful. There can be no disagreement about that. A community garden creates a green space among concrete streets and sidewalks. This helps reduce heat in the summer. The plants soak up sunlight. Concrete reflects the sun’s heat into the air. Community gardens indirectly help save fuel resources, too. Trucks don’t have to deliver as much food from long distances to grocery stores. People don’t have to drive as much to grocery stores, so less gas is used.

More community gardens should be started. With all the benefits they bring us, who could argue with that?

The length of the fencing needed for the dog run will be 76 feet

The measure of the size of any object or the distance between the two endpoints will be termed the length.

Given that:-

Area of Dog Run = 240

Length of Dog Run = 30

The solution will be done as below:-

Width of Dog Run = 30 - x

Area of Dog Run:  30 * (30 - x) = 240

240 / 30 = 30 - x

8 = 30 - x

x = 24

Width of Dog Run = 8

How many feet of fencing will George need for the dog run?

Perimeter of Dog Run = 2Length + 2Width

Perimeter of Dog Run = (2 * 30) + (2 * 8)

Perimeter of Dog Run = 60 + 16

The perimeter of Dog Run = 76

Therefore the length of the fencing needed for the dog run will be 76 feet

A statement which best describes the function shown in the table is: B. exponential, there is a continual rate of decay or decrease.

An exponential function is a mathematical function whose numerical values (numerals) are generated by a constant that is raised to the power of an argument.

Given the following table:

X : -4        -1        2            4              5

Y :  16        2       0.25   0.0625    0.03125

Next, we would calculate the rate of decay for the y-values:

16/2 = 2/0.25 = 0.25/0.0625 = 0.0625/0.03125 = 8

Rule: The y-values constantly decreases by 1/4 or 0.25 of the previous number.

In conclusion, we can logically deduce that the function shown in the table is exponential, there is a continual rate of decay or decrease.

The correct answer is option C which is 3 sets of 2 negative tiles.

Multiplication is the process of determining the product of two or more numbers in mathematics.

We have the product of 3 and -2. We can represent this as 3 is equivalent to -2 negative tiles.

When we add -2 three times -2 - 2 -2 = -6 we will get -6 that is 3 sets of 2 negative tiles.

So when we multiply it by 3, we end with 3 sets of 2 negative tiles. This is because the order of the factors does not change the product.

Therefore the correct answer is option C which is 3 sets of 2 negative tiles.

Formula

[tex]\textsf{Area of a rectangle} = wl[/tex]

[tex]\textsf{Perimeter of a rectangle}=2(w+l)[/tex]

(where  [tex]w[/tex] is width and [tex]l[/tex] is length)

Given:

Substituting the given values into the formulae to create two equations:

[tex]\textsf{Equation 1}: \quad wl=160[/tex]

[tex]\textsf{Equation 2}: \quad 2(w+l)=52[/tex]

Rearranging Equation 1 to make w the subject:

[tex]\implies w=\dfrac{160}{l}[/tex]

Substituting expression for w into Equation 2 and solving for [tex]l[/tex]:

[tex]\implies 2\left(\dfrac{160}{l}+l\right)=52[/tex]

[tex]\implies \dfrac{160}{l}+l=26[/tex]

[tex]\implies 160+l^2=26l[/tex]

[tex]\implies l^2-26l+160=0[/tex]

[tex]\implies l^2-10l-16l+160=0[/tex]

[tex]\implies l(l-10)-16(l-10)=0[/tex]

[tex]\implies (l-10)(l-16)=0[/tex]

5/8 + 3/4 ÷ -2/3 - 5/6

(5+6) / 8 ÷ (-4-5) / 6

Speed is the time rate at which an object is moving along a path

Let the speed of southbound train is x miles/hour

so, northbound train has speed of x+10 miles/hour.

then, Speed of both train = Total distance/ total time

Answer:

1/9x

Step-by-step explanation:

The parenthesis around the 9x means that the -1 exponent goes to the whole thing (the 9x) To "fix" a negative exponent push the 9x across a fraction bar to make the exponent positive. When you push the 9x down across a fraction bar that leaves a 1 on top of the fraction, that has nothing to do with the 1 exponent. Its a 1 on top because when you push the 9x down there is nothing left on top so it is a 1.

(9x)^-1

= 1/9x

To be clear, this is a 1 one top and a 9x on the bottom of a fraction.

Step-by-step explanation:

The prices are inconsistent, so there is no unique price that can be set for either an apple or an orange that will give the total prices indicated.

__

The first relation can be written as ...

  $10 = 4A +4O

  $10 = 4(A +O) . . . . factor out 4

  $2.50 = A +O . . . . divide by 4

The second relation can be written as ...

  $12 = 6A +6O

  $12 = 6(A +O) . . . . factor out 6

  $2 = A +O . . . . . . . divide by 6

These two relations give different prices for 1 apple and 1 orange. There is no price that can be set for either fruit that will give this result.

No unique prices can be assigned.
