Paul, a dentist, determined that the number of cavities that develops in his patient's mouth each year varies inversely to the number of seconds spent brushing each night. His patient, Lori, had 4 cavities when brushing her teeth 30 seconds each night. Write the equation that relates the number of cavities, c, to the time, t, spent brushing. How many cavities would Paul expect Lori to have if she had brushed her teeth for 120 seconds each night?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Inverse variation is written as

[tex]y=\frac{k}{x}[/tex] which, in words, says "y varies inversely with x". If cavities varies inversely with time brushing, then

[tex]c=\frac{k}{t}[/tex]

We are given the initial condition for which we need to solve for k:

c = 4 when t = 30:

[tex]4=\frac{k}{30}[/tex] so

k = 120.

Now we will use that value of k to solve the problem of how many cavities, c, would she have if she brushed her teeth 120 seconds, t, each night:

[tex]c=\frac{120}{120}[/tex] (the 120 on top is the k value and the 120 on the bottom is the number of seconds she brushed) to get

c = 1

Answer 2

Answer:

1 cavity

Step-by-step explanation:

The inverse equation is x*y=k, where x is the amount of cavities, y is the time brushed, and k is a constant number. In your scenario, x is c and y is t, but you can really use any name for the variable. In the first equation 23 have 4*30=120, which is just a constant number. now that we know our constant, we can plug is into our second equation, and we get c*120=120. By dividing both sides by 120, c=1. This means that Paul will have 1 cavity.

At a parking lot, the ratio of people to cars is 3 : 5. If there are 30 people, how many cars are there? *

Answers

Answer:

50 cars

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's define p as the number of people and c the number of cars.

We know that p / c = 3/5 or in other words, there are 5 cars every 3 people. If we have 30 people means that p = 30 which implies 30/c = 3/5 which implies c = 5/3 * 30 = 50.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:people=30=3/5

30/5=6*3=18

car=30=5/3

30/3=10

10*5=50

so there are 50 cars there

Andrea is comparing the prices charged by two different taxi firms.

Firm A charges £20 for a 5 mile journey and £30 for a 10 mile journey, and there is a linear relationship between the price and the length of the journey.

Firm B charges a pickup fee of £3 and then £2.40 for each mile travelled.

Find the length of the journey for which both firms would charge the same amount.​

Answers

Answer: 17.5 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

P=price, L=length

Firm A:

P=2L+10

Firm B:

P=2.40L+3

2.40L+3=2L+10

L=17.5

The fare would be the same for 17.5 miles for both firms.

What are linear equations?

Linear equations help in representing the relationship between variables such as x, y, and z, and are expressed in exponents of one degree. In these linear equations, we use algebra, starting from the basics such as the addition and subtraction of algebraic expressions.

Given here, Firm A charges £20 for a 5 mile journey and £30 for a 10 mile journey . let the fixed component of the fare be k and charge for travelling per mile be x then we have,     20=5x+k. . . (1)

                                                   30=10x+k. . . .(2)

solving these two equations we get x=2 and k = 10

Now let the length of the journey that both firm charge the same is equal to  L and given here that firm B charges a pickup fee of £3 and then £2.40 for each mile travelled. Thus forming the equations we get

2L+10=2.40L+3

0.40L=7

      L=17.5

Hence, The fare would be the same for 17.5 miles for both firms.

Divide each side by .25

.25x/.25 = 75/.25

x = 300

Answer:

300

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume the unknown value is 'Y'

75 = 25% x Y

75 = 25/100 x Y

Multiplying both sides by 100 and dividing both sides of the equation by 25 we will arrive at:

Y = 3 x 100/25

Y = 300%

Answer: 75 is 25 percent of 300

Herbert has sold 92, 28, 83 and 75 suits in the last four months, respectively. How many suits will he need to sell this month to maintain an average of at least 71 sales per month? ​

Answers

Answer: 77 suits

Step-by-step explanation:

Let sales of this month = x

Sales for last 4 months = 92, 28, 83, 75

Average = Sum of Observation ÷ No of Observation

Now, we can form an equation

(92+28 +83+75+x) ÷ 5 =71

(92+28 +83+75+x) = 71 × 5

278 + x = 355

x = 355 - 278

x = 77

4 month



Find the average of last 4 month
Find mean
Sum of Numbers divided by the count of numbers

92+ 28+ 28 +75 divided 4
278 divided by 4
69.5

If 4month = 69.5
x. =. 71

Cross multiply

69.5x =71 *4
69.5x.= 284
Divide both side by x
x= 284 / 69.5
x= 4.08 to whole number
x = 4 months

Answers

Answer:

Option(A)

Step-by-step explanation:

From the graph attached,

Quadrilateral USTR has been transformed to get the image quadrilateral U'S'T'R'.

Coordinates of point U → (-2, 6)

Coordinates of point U' → (3, 3)

Coordinates of U and U' show that quadrilateral USTR has been shifted by 5 units to the right and 3 units down.

Rule to be followed for the translation,

U(-2, 6) → U'[(-2 + 5), (6 - 3)]

U(x, y) → U'[(x + 5), (y - 3)]

Therefore, Option (A) describes the correct rule of transformation.

Which equation represents a population of 300 animals that decreases at an annual rate of 23%? A. p=300(1.23)t B. p=300(1.77)t C. p=300(0.77)t D. p=300(0.23)t

Answers

For a given initial quantity A, a decrease of x% can be written as:

A - A*(x%/100%) = A*(1 - x%/100%)

With this, we need to construct an exponential decrease equation for the given situation, and we will find that the equation is:

P(t) = 300*(0.77)^t

Now let's see how we found that.

In this case, we know that:

The initial number of animals is 300.

They decrease at an anual rate of 23%.

This means that after the first year, the population will be:

P(1) = 300 - 300*(23%/100$) = 300*( 1 - 0.23) = 300*(0.77)

After another year, the population decreases again, so we get:

P(2) = 300*(0.77) - 300*(0.77)*(23%/100$) = 300*(0.77)^2

Here we already can see the pattern, the population in the year t, we will get:

P(t) = 300*(0.77)^t

Then we can see that the correct option is C.
