c.Explain the meaning of the solution in the context of the problem.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

$0.73

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say an orange costs O dollars and a grapefuit costs G dollars.

We add G dollars for each grapefuit and O dollars for each orange, so, for example, 12 grapefuit = G added 12 times = 12 *G = 12G

a.

6G = 10O

12G + 24O = 12

6 grapefuit = 6G = 10 oranges = 10O

b.

6G = 10O

12G + 24O = 12

We can solve this using substitution. First, we can solve the first equation for G. After that, we can plug that into the second to find O and go from there.

6G = 10O

divide both sides by 6 to remove the coefficient for G

G = (10/6)O

plug that into the second equation

12*(10/6)O + 24O = 12

20O + 24O = 12

44O = 12

divide both sides by 44 to solve for O

O=12/44 = 6/22

6G = 10O

6G = 60/22

divide both sides by 6 to solve for G

10/22 = G

c.

These solutions mean that an orange (O) costs 6/22 dollars and a grapefuit (G) costs 10/22, so 1O + 1G = 16/22 dollars ≈ $0.73. Note that O and G are kept as fractions because they are not exact dollar amounts, e.g. 0.27 repreating

an arithmetic sequence has sixth term 15 and ninth term 16. Find its common difference. determine which term has value 22.

Answers

Answer:

The 27th term is 22

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first term is a and common difference is d.

The nth term is:

aₙ = a + (n - 1)d

We have:

a₆ = 15a₉ = 16

The difference of these terms is:

(a + 8d) - (a + 5d) = 16 - 153d = 1d = 1/3

Then the first term is:

a + 5*1/3 = 15a = 15 - 5/3 = 13 1/3

The nth term equation is:

aₙ = 13 1/3 + 1/3(n - 1) = 1/3n + 13

If the nth term is 22, find n:

1/3n + 13 = 221/3n = 22 - 131/3n = 9n = 9*3n = 27

A distance of 6.5 × 10−8 is multiplied by 10. The result is written in scientific notation. What is the new exponent?

Answers

Answer:

6.5 x 10^(-7)

Step-by-step explanation:

When multiplied by 10, it is like multiplying by 10^1. We can use the exponent rule: 10^(-8) * 10^1 = 10^(-7).

Example:

1.3 x 10^2 multiplied by 10

This is the same as 130 multiplied by 10 which is equal to 1300.

1300 written in scientific notation is 1.3 x 10^3, which adds one more onto the exponent.

Eva took a taxi from her house to the airport. The taxi company charged a pick-up fee of $4.10 plus $0.50 per mile. The total fare was $9.60, not including the tip. Write and solve an equation which can be used to determine mm, the number of miles in the taxi ride.

Answers

Here we must write and solve a linear equation to find the number of miles that Eva traveled in the taxi. We will find that Eva traveled 11 miles.

So we know that the taxi charges a fee of $4.10 and then a plus of $0.50 per mile.

So if you travel for m miles, the cost equation is:

C(m) = $4.10 + $0.50*m

Now, we know that for Eva the total fare (total cost) was $9.60, then we need to solve:

$9.60 = C(m) = $4.10 + $0.50*m

$9.60 = $4.10 + $0.50*m

$9.60 - $4.10 = $0.50*m

$5.50 = $0.50*m

$5.50/$0.50 = m = 11

This means that Eva traveled 11 miles in the taxi.

Answers

Answer:

C. w = 4t

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's examine the way t and w are related to each other, one point at a time starting with (0, 0). This point really doesn't tell us much, but we do know that this relationship must be proportional since any line that goes through the origin (the point (0, 0)) is proportional. we can rule out B. 2 + t and D. 4 + t since neither of these go through the origin. 2 + t goes through the point (0, 2) and 4 + t goes through the point (0, 4).

Now, we have two options left: A. w = 2t and C. w = 4t. Which one is correct? Well, let's look at the point (1, 4). 1 × 2 is not equal to 4, but 1 × 4 is equal to 4, so C. w = 4t must be the correct option.

We can test this on the rest of the points as well: 2 × 4 = 8 and 3 × 4 = 12. Hopefully that's helpful! If you have questions or need clarification on anything, let me know. :)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percent, divide the amount donated by the full amount of money raised. 400/1000 = 0.4.

Now to make this into a percentage, multiply the answer by 100. 0.4 * 100 = 40.

Percent of the fund raiser did they donate to charity 40%

What is percentage ?

In mathematics, a percentage is a number or ratio that can be expressed as a fraction of 100. If we have to calculate percent of a number, divide the number by the whole and multiply by 100. Hence, the percentage means, a part per hundred. The word per cent means per 100. It is represented by the symbol “%”.

Percentages have no dimension. Hence it is called a dimensionless number. If we say, 50% of a number, then it means 50 per cent of its whole.

To find the percent,

divide the amount donated by the full amount of money raised. 400/1000 = 0.4.

Now to make this into a percentage,

multiply the answer by 100.  0.4 * 100 = 40.
