Answer 1

Answer:

There are 16 cows and 32 chickens on the farm.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, each cow and chicken has one head each, obviously. That means that the 48 corresponds to the total number of animals on Farmer John's farm. Since chickens have 2 legs and cows have 4 legs, that means that the 128 represents the separate amount of cows and chickens there are. We can let c equal the number of cows, and h equal the number of chickens. We know that the total number of animals is 48, so c + h = 48. We know that for each cow, there are 4 legs, and for each chicken there are 2 legs, so 4c + 2h = 128.

Now, we can solve by substitution. Multiplying the first equation by 2, we have 2c + 2h = 96. We can subtract this from the second equation to get 2c = 32, and c = 16. That means there are 16 cows on the farm, and since c + h = 48, there are 48 - 16 = 32 chickens on the farm.

Answer 2

The number of chicken are 32 and the number of cows is 16, 128 represents the total number of legs of the chicken and cows. In which 64 legs are of chicken and 64 legs are of cows, and 48 represents the total number of heads in which 32 heads are of chicken and 16 heads are of cows.

Given :

Farmer John has cows and chickens on his farm. His farm animals have 128 legs and 48 heads in total.

a) Remember a cow has one head and 4 legs and a chicken has one head and 2 legs.

Let the total number of chickens be 'x' and the total number of cows be 'y'. Then the total number of heads are:

x + y = 48

x = 48 - y    --- (1)

The linear equation that represents the total number of legs is given by:

2x + 4y = 128   --- (2)

Now, substitute the value of 'x' in equation (2).

2(48 - y) + 4y = 128

96 - 2y + 4y = 128

2y = 32

y = 16

Now, substitute the value of 'y' in equation (1).

x = 48 - 16

x = 32

So, the number of chicken are 32 and the number of cows are 16.

b) 128 represents the total number of legs of the chicken and cows. In which 64 legs are of chicken and 64 legs are of cows.

c) 48 represents the total number of heads in which 32 heads are of chicken and 16 heads are of cows.

F = sales for Friday

we know that the total of weekend sales for Germany was F + 317 + 405.

we also know that 405 is really 37.19% of that amount, say "x", which is the 100%, so

[tex]\begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} 405&37.19\\ x&100 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{405}{x}=\cfrac{37.19}{100}\implies 40500=37.19x \\\\\\ \cfrac{40500}{37.19}=x\implies 1089~\approx ~ x \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \stackrel{friday}{F} + \stackrel{sat/sun}{317} + \stackrel{monday}{405} \approx 1089\implies F +722 \approx 1089\implies \boxed{F\approx 367}[/tex]

A long distance phone company charges a flat rate of $1.01 and then $0.09 for each minute. If
a call cost $9.56, how long did it last?

Answers

Answer:

30

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

95 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Deduct the flat rate from the total to see how much was spent on minutes

9.56 - 1.01 = 8.55

to get minutes divide that by the cost per minute

8.55/0.09 = 95

Two sides of a triangle measure 27 inches and 32 inches. Which could represent the length of the third side?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The third side could have dimension x

32 - 27 < x < 32 + 27

         5 < x < 59

There are a few special triangles

Equilateral triangle could have legs

27, 32, 27

or

32, 27, 32

A right triangle could have the third side

√(27² + 32²) = √1753 which is about 41.87

or

√(32² - 27²) = √295 which is about 17.18

Notice all these fit within the original limits specified.

Answer:

The third side is greater than 5 but less than 59.

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember: Given any two sides of a triangle, the length of the third side is greater than the difference but less than the sum of the length of the two given sides.

So 27 and 32       The given two sides

   32 - 27 = 5        Greater than the difference   (greater than 5)

   32 + 27 = 59     Less than the sum   (less than 59)

A jet is flying in a direction N 70° E with a speed of 600 mi/h. Find the north and east components of the velocity. Round to two decimal places.

Answers

Using vector concepts, it is found that the components of the velocity are given as follows:

North: 205.21 mi/h.East: 563.82 mi/h.

How can a vector be represented in i and j notation?

Given a magnitude M and angle [tex]\theta[/tex], the a vector V can be represented as follows:

[tex]V = M\sin{\theta}i + M\cos{\theta}j[/tex]

In which:

i is the horizontal(east/west) component.j is the vertical(north/south) component.

In this problem, we have that the magnitude and the angle are given as follows:

[tex]M = 600, \theta = 70^{\circ}[/tex]

Hence the north component is:

[tex]600\cos{70^{\circ}} = 205.21[/tex]

And the east component is:

[tex]600\sin{70^{\circ}} = 563.82[/tex]

A = -5/4B = -0.5C = 2

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

Explanation:

The fraction -5/4 converts to -1.25 after using your calculator or long division. It represents the mixed number -1 & 1/4. So we go 1 full unit to the left to arrive at -1, then we move another 1/4 unit to the left to get to point A. That's why point A is located at -5/4 = -1.25 = -1 & 1/4.

Point B is directly midway between 0 and -1, so it must be at -0.5; you can use the midpoint formula.

Two angles form a linear pair. The measure of one angle is twice the measure of the other angle. Find the measure of each angle.


The smaller angle measures =?

The larger angle measures =?

Answers

Answer:

The smaller angle measures = 60º

The larger angle measures = 120º

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of angles in linear pair is 180

The measure of one angle is twice the measure of the other angle.

x + 2x = 180

Combine like terms

3x = 180

Divide both sides by 3

x = 60º

2x = 120º
