Making Guitars As a luthicr, you make high-rituality guitars for which accurate fret placement is crucial. Referring to Figure 4.18, we think of the nut itself as fret 0. Additional frets are numbered as we move from the nut toward the saddle.

What is the minimum weight of carbon in 250 kilograms of machine steel? b. What is the maximum weight of carbon in 250 kilograms of machine steel?arrow_forwardDecibel Scale The drilling of a jackhammer was measured at 132 dB. The sound of whispering was measured at 28 dB. Find the ratio of the intensity of the drilling to that of the whispering.arrow_forwardRunning Speed A man is running around a circular track that is 200 m in circumference. An observer uses a stopwatch to record the runners time at the end of each lap, obtaining the data in the following table. aWhat was the mans average speed rate between 68 s and 152 s? bWhat was the mans average speed between 263 s and 412 s? cCalculate the mans speed for each lap.

- Stock Turnover at Retail In retail sales, an important marker of retail activity is the stock turnover at retail. This figure is calculated for a specific period of time as the total net sales divided by the retail value of the average stock during that time, where both are measured in dollars. As a formula, this is written Stockturnover=NetsalesAveragestockatretail. This formula expresses stock turnover as a function of net sales and average stock at retail. a. Suppose that your store had net sales of 682, 000 in mens shoes over the past six months and that the retail value of the average stock of mens shoes was 163, 000. What was the stock turnover at retail for that time period? b. Suppose that in a certain month, your stores net sales of womens dresses were 83, 000 and that the usual stock turnover at retail is 0.8 per month. What do you estimate to be your stores average stock at retail? c. Solve the equation for average stock at retail- that is, write a formula giving average stock at retail as a function of stock turnover and net sales. d. Suppose that in a certain time period, your store had an average stock of socks with a retail value of 45, 000 and a stock turnover at retail of 1.6. What were the stores net sales of socks during that time period? e. Solve the equation for net sales- that is, write a formula giving net sales as a function of stock turnover and average stock at retail.arrow_forward(Q.13) Mastery Assess It 2 - Question is in the photo privided below.arrow_forward19 MA.912.AR.2.2 Write the equation of a vertical line passing through the ordered pair (-5,7.5).

Graph the ordered pairs in the table of values, with values of I along the x-axis and values of R along the y-axis. Connect the eight points with a smooth curve. b. Does current vary directly or inversely as resistance? Use your graph and explain how you arrived at your answer. Write an equation of variation for I and R, using one of the ordered pairs in the table to find the constant of variation. Then use yoriation equation to verify the other seven orderd pairsin the table.arrow_forwardTopics Use a calculator to approximate the measure of ZA to the nearest tenth of a degree. 2. 1.
