The score on a trivia game is obtained by subtracting the number of incorrect answers from twice the number of correct answers. If a player answered 404040 questions and obtained a score of 505050, how many questions did the player answer correctly

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

30

Step-by-step explanation:

A player answers x correct questions and y incorrect questions for a total of 40 questions.

x + y = 40

The score is obtained by subtracting y incorrect answers from two times the x of correct answers.  The player's score is 50.

2x - y = 50

Use substitution to solve.  Rearrange the first equation so that it is equal to y.  Then, substitute the y-value into the second equation.

x + y = 40

y = 40 - x

2x - y = 50

2x - (40 - x) = 50

2x - 40 + x = 50

3x - 40 = 50

3x = 90

x = 30

Since x was made to represent correct answers, the player had 30 correct answers.

40% of one spig is a spoog. 25% of a speeg is a spoog. 70% of a speeg is a spug. what percent of 1 spig is 5 spugs?

Answers

Answer:

            5 spugs is 560% of 1 spig

Step-by-step explanation:

a - spig

b - speeg

c - spoog

d - spug

40% of one spig is a spoog:  40%a = c

25% of a speeg is a spoog:    25%b = c

70% of a speeg is a spug:       70%b = d

what percent of 1 spig is 5 spugs?:     x%a = 5d

40%a = c  and  25%b = c

40%a = 25%b

[tex]b=\frac{40\%a}{25\%}=1.6a[/tex]

d = 70%b = 70%•1.6a = 112%a

x%a = 5d

x%a = 5•112%a

÷a         ÷a

x% = 560%

To safely cross a bridge, the most a delivery truck can weigh is 4 tons. The empty truck and driver weigh a total of 5,690 pounds. How many pounds of cargo can the truck safely carry?

Answers

Answer:

Truck can safely carry 2310 pounds of cargo.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the safety limit of weight to cross the bridge safely is 4 tons.

1 ton is equal to 2000 pounds.

so, 4 tons are equal to 2000 [tex]\times[/tex] 4 = 8000 pounds

Now, given that

weight of empty truck and driver = 5690 pounds

To find:

Weight of cargo that the truck can safely carry ?

Solution:

Total weight of the truck is actually the combined weight of the empty truck, the drive and the cargo carried in it.

So, Total Weight allowed = 8000 pounds = 5690 pounds + Weight of Cargo

Weight of Cargo = 8000 - 5690 pounds

Weight of Cargo = 2310 pounds

Truck can safely carry 2310 pounds of cargo.

evaluate the expression

Answers

Answer:

-5

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the expression:

[tex]\frac{1}{4} [-5+5(-3)][/tex]

and asked to evaluate.

We must solve this expression according to PEMDAS: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition and Subtraction.

Solve inside the brackets first. Multiply 5 and -3.

5 * -3= -15

[tex]\frac{1}{4} [-5+-15][/tex]

Add -5 and -15.

-5+-15= -20

[tex]\frac{1}{4} [-20][/tex]

Finally, multiply 1/4 and -20, or divide -20 by 4.

1/4 * -20 = -5      OR       -20/4= -5

[tex]-5[/tex]

When evaluated, the expression 1/4 [ -5 +5(-3)] is equal to -5.

the answer is -5

first you multiply 5 and -3 to get -15.

next you add -5 and -15 to get -20.

the final step is to multiply 1/4 and -20 to get -20/4 which can be simplified to -5.

find the equation of the line that is parallel to y = 3x - 2 and contains the points ( 2,11 )

Answers

Answer:

Below

Step-by-step explanation:

Let y' = mx + b be the equation of the second line

● m is the slope

● b is the y-intercept

The lines are parallel so they have the

same slope.

● y' = 3x + b

The second line crosses the point with the coordinates (2,11)

Replace y' by 11 and x by 2 to find b

● 11 = 3×2 + b

● 11 = 6 + b

Substract 6 from both sides

● 11 - 6 = 6 + b -6

● b = 5

So

● y' = 3x + 5

12. If f(5) = 20.58 and f(6)= 2.94

f(7) = __. f(8) = Recursive Function:

Answers

Answer:

What's the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

The recursive function f(7) is = 7.f(8).

What is a recursive function ?

A recursive function is a form of arithmetic or geometric sequence which repeats.

According to the given question f(5) = 20.58 and f(6) = 2.9.

Given it is a recursive function so it could be in form of arithmetic sequence or geometric sequence.

We have asked f(7) is how many times of f(8) from here we can conclude that it is in the form of geometric sequence.

f(5) = 20.58 and f(6) = 2.94 so the common ratio of n/(n-1) is

= 20.58/2.94

= 7.

Or we can say that f(5) is 7 times of f(6) which is 7.f(6) = f(5).

∴ f(7) = 7.f(8) = (1/7)f(6) = 0.42.

The ratio of the profit, cost of materials and labour in the production of an article is 5:7:13 respectively. If the cost of materials is Le 840 more than that of labour, find the total cost of producing the article

Answers

Answer:

Total cost is 2,800

Step-by-step explanation:

The given ratio 5:7:13 represents profit to cost of materials to labour.

However it is stated that cost of materials is Le 840 more than that of labour

Cost of material - 840 = labour

Cost of material = labour - 840

Let

Cost of material be x, and labour be y

x ÷ y = 7 ÷ 13 (equation 1)

x = y - 840 (equation 2)

Substitute x from equation 1 in equation 2

(y - 840) ÷ y = 7 ÷ 13

13 (y -840) = 7y

y = 1,820

Substitute value of y in equation 2

x = 1820 - 840

x = 980

So total cost is cost of material plus cost of labour = 980 + 1820 = 2,800

This will satisfy the ratio of 5:7:13 representing profit to cost of materials to labour

A species of phytoplankton measures about 2 × 10−6 in. A grain of sand measures about 1 × 10−4 in. About how many times longer is the grain of sand than the phytoplankton? A. 20 times greater B. 50 times greater C. 100 times greater D. 200 times greater

Answers

Answer:

B. 50 times greater

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

size of phytoplankton = 2 × 10⁻⁶ in

size of sand grain = 1 × 10⁻⁴ in

Determine how many times longer the grain of sand is than the phytoplankton.

Divide the sand size by the phytoplankton size, to find out how much greater the sand is.

This can be done by equating it as follows;

2 × 10⁻⁶ (y)  = 1 × 10⁻⁴

[tex]y = \frac{1*10^{-4}}{2*10^{-6}} \\\\y = 50[/tex]

Therefore, the grain of sand is 50 times greater than the phytoplankton

An architect is planning to put a circular mosaic in the entry of a new building. The mosaic will be in the shape of a circle with radius of 6 feet. How many square feet of tile will be needed for the mosaic? (Round your answer up to the next whole number.)

Answers

Answer:

113 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the shape of the mosaic that the architect would be using is circular is shape, the formula to apply to solve this question is area of a circle.

The formula for the area of a circle = πr²

In the above question,Area if a circle = πr²

radius of the circle = r = 6 feet

πr² = π × 6²

113.09733553 square feet

Approximately to the next whole number ≈ 113 square feet.

Therefore, the number in square feet of tiles needed for the mosaic is 113 square feet

And we want to find x such that:

[tex]f(x)=16[/tex]

To do so, substitute 16 for f(x):

[tex]f(x)=2x+1\\16=2x+1[/tex]

Subtract 1 from both sides. The right side cancels:

[tex](16)-1=(2x+1)-1\\2x=15[/tex]

Divide both sides by 2. The left side cancels:

[tex](2x)/2=(15)/2\\x=15/2=7.5[/tex]

The value of x is 7.5

Answer:

[tex]x=\frac{15}{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the value of f(x). Insert this value into the original equation:

[tex]f(x)=16\\\\16=2x+1[/tex]

Solve for x. Subtract 1 from both sides:

[tex]16-1=2x+1-1\\\\15=2x[/tex]

Divide both sides by 2 to isolate x:

[tex]\frac{15}{2} =\frac{2x}{2} \\\\\frac{15}{2}=x[/tex]

When f(x) equals 16, x is equal to [tex]\frac{15}{2}[/tex]
