Five years ago, Max was twice as old as Bert. A year from now, the sum of their ages would be 30. How old are they now? Show your solution.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Bert is 11 years old and Max is 17 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

System of Equations

To solve the system of equations, we use two variables x and y. Let's make:

x = current age of Max

y = current age of Bert

x - 5 = age of Max five years ago

y - 5 = age of Bert five years ago

x + 1 = age of Max one year from now

y + 1 = age of Bert one year from now

According to the conditions of the problem, five years ago, Max was twice as old as Bert, thus:

x - 5 = 2(y - 5)        [1]

It's also known a year from now, the sum of their ages would be 30:

x + 1 + y + 1 = 30        [2]

Operating and simplifying [1]:

x - 5 = 2y - 10

x = 2y - 5       [3]

Operating and simplifying [2]:

x + y + 2 = 30

x + y = 28        [4]

Substituting [3] in [4]:

(2y - 5) + y = 28

Simplifying:

3y - 5 = 28

3y = 33

y = 33/3 = 11

y = 11

From [3]:

x = 2*11 - 5

x = 22 - 5 = 17

x = 17

Max is 17 years old and Bert is 11 years old

9.6x10^85/3x10^63 in scientific notation

Answers

Answer:

3.27*10^22

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression 9.6x10^85/3x10^63, we are to write it on scientific notation as shown:

9.6x10^85/3x10^63

= (9.8/3) * (10^85/10^63)

= (9.8/3)  * 10^{85-63}

= (9.8/3) *10^22

= 3.27 *10^22

Hence the expression in scientific notation is  3.27*10^22

Chanel rolls a 6-sided die {1,2,3,4,5,6), and then flips a coin {H,T}
Which outcome is in the sample space of this experiment?
A.5H
B. T3
C. 24
D.TH

Answers

Answer:

5H

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

A roll of die followed by a flip of coin.

Required

Determine possible outcome in the sample space

Taking the experiment one at a time.

A roll of die will either give any of 1 to 6 as its outcome.

A flip of coin will either give any of H or T as its outcome.

So, the possible outcomes of a roll of die followed by a flip of coin is:

{1H,2H,3H,4H,5H,6H,1T,2T,3T,4T,5T,6T}

Note that numbers came first because the question stated that the die is rolled first.

Comparing the list of given options with the sample space above.

Option (A) i.e. 5H answers the question.

Jada will draw two scale drawings of the same object on 1-cm grid paper. Each centimetre will represent a greater distance in the second
drawing than in the first. Jada claims that the lengths in the second drawing will be longer than the lengths in the first drawing. Do you agree? Give an example of a scale and a measurement to support your answer.

Search entries or author

Answers

Answer:

Jada is wrong. For example, say Jada is drawing scaled versions of a 10x10 yard square. In her first drawing, 1 centimeter = 1 yard, so the drawn square is 10x10 centimeters. In her second drawing, 1 centimeter = 2 yards, which is greater, like the problem says. This drawing will be only 5x5 centimeters, meaning the lengths will be smaller as each centimeter represents a greater number of yards.

Answers

Answer:

C. NUMBER OF DOWNLOADED SONGS

Step-by-step explanation:

Among the following, the independent quantity in the function:

amount of remaining MP3 player memory as a function of downloaded songs is

The remaining memory will depend on the number of songs downloaded. So, the number of downloaded songs is considered as the independent variable while the remaining memory is the dependent variable.

Answer:

Easy, 358

Step-by-step explanation:

because 2 new mp3 players are $465 and have new storage.

While 1 new mp3 player is $107 but it has less storage.

So we subtract because it's asking us the difference between the price of the $465 and the $107.

465

Joe marked up all the shoes in his store by 15%. If a pair of shoes originally cost $45, what was the price after the markup?

Answers

Answer:

The price would be $51.75.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Joe is marking up by 15%, the price will increase for the pair of shoes.  Multiply 45 by 1.15 since you are increasing the price by 15% to get your final answer which is $51.75.

Which type of function best models the data in the table? Use differences or ratios.

Choose the correct answer below.
• Exponential model
• Linear model
• None
• Quadratic model

Answers

An exponential model would work best. There is no constant rate of increase, ruling out a linear model. Additionally, there is not increasing-decreasing trend between the y values, ruling out a quadratic model. There is a considerable increase in the units it takes to transition from one unit of x to another unit of x. For example, going from x = 1 to x = 2, it takes 16.5 units. However, when going from x = 2 to x = 3, it takes 27.5 units. This difference in numbers keeps increasing exponentially, not at a constant rate, therefore an exponential model would work best.

During each week of piano lessons, William learns to play 2 new pieces. Write an equation that shows the relationship between the weeks of lessons x and the total number of pieces learned y.

Answers

Answer:

William can find how many piano pieces he has learned by using the equation y = 2x.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that William learns two piano pieces per week.

We are tasked with finding the equation that represents this relationship (the number of weeks that William has received piano lessons and the total number of piano pieces that William has learned).

The number of weeks that William has attended piano lessons is represented by the variable x.The total number of piano pieces that William has learned is represented by the variable y.

Therefore, take for example that William has been taking piano lessons for four months. This would roughly equate to sixteen weeks.

[tex]x=16[/tex]

After analyzing this, we know that he learns two pieces a week. So, we can multiply our number of weeks by two in order to receive the total amount of pieces learned.

[tex]x \times 2[/tex]

Finally, we need to set this equal to the total number of pieces learned, or our previously defined variable y.

[tex]y=x\times 2[/tex]

In mathematics, we want to simplify everything as much as possible. There is a statement that if a constant and a variable are to be multiplied, we can remove the multiplication symbol and place the constant and the variable together.

[tex]y=2x[/tex]

Therefore, our equation is [tex]\bold{y = 2x}[/tex].

Bags of pretzels are sampled to ensure proper weight. The overall average for the samples is 9 ounces. Each sample contains 25 bags. The standard deviation is estimated to be 3 ounces. The upper control chart limit (for 99.7% confidence) for the average would be ________ ounces.

Answers

Answer:

The value is [tex]UCL = 10.8[/tex]  

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The sample mean is  [tex]\= x = 9 \ ounce[/tex]

    The sample size is  n =  25

    The standard deviation is  [tex]\sigma = 3 \ ounce[/tex]

Given that the sample size is not large enough i.e  n<  30  we will make use of the student t distribution table  

From the question we are told the confidence level is  99.7% , hence the level of significance is    

      [tex]\alpha = (100 -99.7 ) \%[/tex]

=>   [tex]\alpha = 0.003[/tex]

Generally the degree of freedom is  [tex]df = n- 1[/tex]

=>  [tex]df = 25 - 1[/tex]

=>  [tex]df = 24[/tex]  

Generally from the student t distribution table the critical value  of  [tex]\frac{\alpha }{2}[/tex] at a degree of freedom of [tex]df = 24[/tex]   is  

   [tex]t_{\frac{\alpha }{2} , 24 } = 3.0 [/tex]

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as  

      [tex]E = t_{\frac{\alpha }{2} , 24} *  \frac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]

=>     [tex]E = 3.0 *  \frac{3 }{\sqrt{25} }[/tex]

=>     [tex]E =1.8 [/tex]

Gnerally the  upper control chart limit  for 99.7% confidence is mathematically represented as

         [tex]UCL = \= x + E[/tex]

=>      [tex]UCL = 9 + 1.8[/tex]  

=>      [tex]UCL = 10.8[/tex]

They plan to spend 1 hour and 10 minutes at the Willis Tower, 3 hours and 10 minutes at Navy Pier, and 1 hour and 15 minutes shopping. What is the latest time Joe's family can start their tour of Chicago and still make it to dinner on time?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Willis tower = 1 hour 10 minutes

Navy piers = 3 hours 10 minutes

Shopping = 1 hour 15 minutes

(1 hour 10 min) + (3 hour 10 minutes) + 1 hour 15 minutes

Total time touring Chicago = 4 hours 35 minutes

Since dinner reservation is at 5 :10 pm

Touring should start latest:

5:10 - 4 hours 35 minutes = 1 :35 pm
