The total price of four oranges and five pears is $32 while the total price of three oranges and two pears is $17. How much is a pear?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A pear is 3.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: A pear cost $4.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the total price of four oranges and five pears is $32 then we could represent it by the equation  4x + 5y = 32   where x is cost of one orange and y is the cost of one pear.

The same way we could represent the second statement by the equation

3x + 2y = 17      

We know have the two systems of equations:

4x + 5y = 32

3x + 2y = 17         Solve using the elimination method

  Multiply the top equation by -3 and the down equation by 4 to eliminate x.

-3(4x + 5y) = -3(32) =  -12x - 15y = -96

 4(3x +2y) = 4(17)  =   12x + 8y = 68    

We now have the two new equations:

-12x -15y = -96      Add both equations

12x + 8y = 68            

      - 7y = -28

     y= 4    

Which means the cost of one pear is $4.

Answers

Answer:

The equation is same as the equation for a straight line Y= mx+c

Step-by-step explanation:

The linear equation that describes the relationship between the total monthly cost Y and number of class hours in each month X is the same as the equation of line which is

If JK = 28, JL = 20, KL = 13, and ML = 22, calculate NL. Image not set to scale.

Answers

Answer:

NL  = 440 /13  or 33.85 (to two decimals)

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider triangles JKL and NML

angle JLK = angle NLM           vertical angles

angle KJL = angle MNL           given

Therefore triangles JKL and NML are similar

By proportion of corresponding sides of similar triangles,

NL / JL = LM / LK

Substitute given values

NL / 20 = 22 / 13

solve for NL

NL = 20*22 / 13 = 440 /13  or 33.85 (to two decimals)

Answer:

[tex]\huge \boxed{33.85}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

JL is similar to NL. KL is similar to ML.

We can use ratios to solve.

JL/KL = NL/ML

Let the length of NL be x.

20/13 = x/22

Cross multiply.

13 × x = 22 × 20

13x = 440

Divide both sides by 13.

(13x)/13 =440/13

x = 440/13 = 33.846154...

WRITE AS AN EQUATION​

Answers

Answer:

w = 1ft

l = 4ft

Step-by-step explanation:

P  =2w + 2l

2w = l/2 => l = 4w

10ft = 2w + 2×4w

10ft = 2w + 8w

10ft = 10w

w = 10ft/10

w = 1 ft

l = 4w

l = 4×1ft

l = 4 ft

Answer:

length = 4 ft

Width = 1 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let length = l ft

Width = w feet

[tex]\frac{1}{2}l = 2w\\\\l = 2w*2\\\\l = 4w[/tex]

Perimeter = 10 ft

2*(l +w)= 10

2*( 4w + w ) = 10

2*5w = 10

10w = 10

Equation:  10w = 10

Divide both sides by 10

10w/10 = 10/10

w = 1 ft

Plug in the value of w in l = 4w

l = 4 *1

l = 4 ft

Answers

Answer:

5/w -7

Step-by-step explanation:

quotient means division

5/w

less than means it comes after

5/w -7

Answer:

5/w-7

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's write out "the quotient of a number 5 and w"

The quotient is the result from dividing two numbers. Therefore, we must divide 5 and w.

5/w

Now, let's add on "7 less than". Since it is "less than" it will come after the division. "Less" means subtract. So, subtract 7 from 5/w.

5/w-7

7 less than the quotient of a number 5 and w as an expression is: 5/w-7

How many cubic yards of earth were removed from the site?

Answers

Answer:

10.34

Step-by-step explanation:

converting digits to feet,

3ft 6in = 3.5 ft

2ft 9in = 2.75 ft

now feet to yards

3.5ft = 1.16666667 yards (rounded)

2.75ft = 0.9166666667 yards (rounded)

29ft = 9.66666667 yards (rounded)

multiplying them, you'll get approximately 10.34 cubic yards (rounded), that's the volume.

or you can multiply the digits in feet,

3.5×2.75×29

= 279.125 cubic ft

now to convert to cubic yards from cubic ft,

279.125/3³

= 10.337963..

= 10.34 (rounded to the nearest hundredth)

then you can clearly see that 6 is cos(X) times r (and r is then 7.5).

XY is sin(X)×7.5

and again, 7.5 is r (the line making the X angle).

so, the cosine ratio of X is

Cups of flour required to make muffins = 3 1/5

Cups of flour required to make banana = 3 2/3

Number of cups of flour required to make both recipe :

(cups of flour required to make muffins + cups of flour required to make bread)

(3 1/5 + 3 2/3) = 3+3+(1/5 + 2/3)

= 6 + (1/5 + 2/3) = (3 + 10)/15 = 6 + (13/15)

PLEASE HELP ME !!!!!!!!!!

if the distance of load from hinge and spring balance are 35 cm and 15 cm respectively. What is the load weight used if the applied force is 4N ?

Answers

Answer:

The load weight is 2.29 N

Step-by-step explanation:

We note that  at equilibrium, the sum of the moment and the sum of forces about a point is zero, therefore, we have;

∑M =0

∑F = 0

The parameters given are;

The distance of the load from the hinge = 35 cm

The distance of the load from the spring balance = 15 cm

The applied force on the spring balance = 4 N↑

The direction of the applied force on the spring balance = Upwards

Let the weight of the load = W↓

The direction of the weight of the load = Downwards

We use downward negative and upward positive coefficients for the forces

We take moment about the hinge as follows;

Sum of moments equals zero gives;

4 × (35 - 15) - W × 35 = 0

∴ 4 × (35 - 15) = W × 35

4 × 20 = W × 35

W = 4 × 20/35 = 2.29 N

The weight of the load = 2.29 N.

Answer:

The load weight is 2.29 N

Campbells soup company want to create a new sized cam for a new line of soups.If the can holds a volume of 3416.32 cm and the height of the can is 17cm what is the area of the base of the can

Answers

Answer:

200.96cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of the can is expressed as Length *Breadth* Height.

If the area of the can base is Length * Breadth

Volume of the can = area of the base of the can * Height

Given parameters

Volume of the can V = 3416.32cm³

Height of the can h = 17cm

Required

Area of the base of the can

Substituting the given parameters into the formula we have;

V = Ah

A = V//h

A = 3416.32/17

A = 200.96cm²

Hence, the area of the base of the can is 200.96cm²

Answers

Answer: Choice A

Graph of increasing exponential function going through point (0, 2)

=======================================================

Explanation:

Assuming you meant to say f(x) = 2(1.5)^x, then we can see the equation is an exponential and it is increasing. It is increasing because the base b = 1.5 is larger than 1.

Plug in x = 0 to find y

y = 2(1.5)^x

y = 2(1.5)^0

y = 2(1)

y = 2

We have x = 0 and y = 2 pair up together meaning (0,2) is on the function curve. This is the y intercept.

Determine what type of model best fits the given stituation. Water leaking from a local reservoir at the rate of 500 gallons per hour.

Answers

Answer:

Well, in the local reservoir we have an initial amount of water A.

And per hour, the amount of water in the reservoir decreases by 500 gals.

So after t hours, the amount of water in the reservoir is:

W = A - 500gal*t

This is a linear equation, so the model that fits best in the given situation is a linear model.

Where the only thing that you need to take in mind, is that the domain of this model is restricted:

This is because we can not have a negative amount of water in the reservoir, so the maximum value of t accepted is:

W = 0 = A - 500gal*t

t = A/500 hours

So the domain of this linear relation is:

t ∈ {0h, A/500 }

In 2008, golfer Annika Sornestam had a driving accuracy of 71%. That is, on par 4 and par 5 holes, her tee shot landed in the fairway 71% of the time. Explain how to use a spinner to simulate Sorenstam’s performance in a round of golf where she attempts 15 drives. (Hint: What type of chart is a spinner? What does each piece represent?)

Answers

Answer:

Ok, we know that the driving accuracy is of 71%.

Then the first step is to get a spinner that is enumerated from 1 to 100 (in such way that each number is equispaced)

Now, we can mark a section between numbers 1 and 71. (this regio represents the cases where the shot lands in the fairway) and the unmarked region represents the cases where the shot does not land in the fairway.

Now, for each shot, we can spin our spinner next to a fixed pencil, depending on the section of the spinner that is marked by the pencil when the spinner fully stops, we can guess if the shot landed or not in the fairway.

In this way the shot has the region from 1 to 71 (71%) to land in the fairway

and the region from 72 to 100 to not land in the fairway.

If you want to simulate Sorenstam’s performance in a round of golf where she attempts 15 drives, you need to spin the spinner 15 times, and record the oucomes.
