Answers

Answer 1

Given :

A local fish market is selling fish and lobsters by the pound. The fish, f, costs $5.00 a pound, while the lobster, l, costs $8.00 a pound. The fish market sells 20.5 pounds and makes $131.00.

To Find :

How many pounds of fish and pounds of lobster did the market sell.

Solution :

Let, pounds of fish sells are x.

So, pounds of lobsters sells are (20.5 - x) .

Total amount of spend = 5x + 8( 20.5 - x)

5x + 8( 20.5 - x) = 131

5x - 8x + 164 = 131

3x = 33

x = 11

Therefore, number of pounds of fish and lobsters are 11 and 9.5 pounds respectively.

Hence, this is the required solution.

The graph shows the proportional relationship between rainfall during the growing season and seasonal growth of a type of plant. What does the point ​(​8,6​) ​represent? If the plants grew 12 mm one​ season, how much rain​ fell?

Answers

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

✔️The point (8, 6) represents seasonal plant growth of 6 mm with 8 cm of rainfall during the growing season.

✔️To determine how much rain fell if the plants grew 12 mm one season, find the value of x (rainfall) when y (plant growth) = 12.

From the graph, when y = 12, x = 16.

This means that when the plant grew 12 mm, 16 cm of rainfall was recorded.

Therefore:

If the plants grew 12 mm one season, 16 cm rainfall fell.

An object launched straight puwar from the ground level wiht an initional velocity of 32 feet per second.The formula H=32T-16T^2 gives it heigtht,h,in feet after t second. At what time does the object hit the ground?

Answers

Answer:

2 secs after

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the height of the object modeled by the eqaution;

H(t) = 32T - 16T² where;

T is the time in seconds

The object hits the ground when h(t)= 0

Substitute H = 0 into the equation and get t as shown;

0 =  32T - 16T²

0-32T = -16T²

-32T = -16T²

32T = 16T²

32 = 16T

T = 32/16

T = 2secs

Hence the object hits the ground after 2 secs

The sum of two numbers is 105. The larger number is 6 less than twice the smaller
number. What are the numbers?

Answers

Answer: x=68, y=37

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for the sum of two numbers is 105 would be x+y=105. You can say the larger number would be x and the smaller would be y. So, x=2y-6. then you plug that into the x in the first equation.

2y-6+y=105

3y-6=105

3y=111

y=37

Then you would plug in the y to one of the equations. I will do the second one but you can do either one.

x=2y-6

x=2*37-6

x=74-6

x=68

The sides of a square field are 28 meters. A sprinkler in the center of the field sprays a circular area with a diameter that corresponds to a side of the field. How much of the field is not reached by the sprinkler? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. Use 3.14 for π.

Answers

Answer:

168.24784 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the square:

28 x 28=784 sq. m.

Area of the circle:

π(r²)=π(14)²=196π

    =615.75216

Area not covered by the sprinkler:

784-615.75216=168.24784 m²

Answer:

The sprinkler does not reach 168.56 m² of the field.

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the circular area sprayed by the sprinkler.

A = πr² Use the formula.

A = π(14)² Substitute. Use 14 for r.

A ≈ 3.14 × 14² Substitute. Use 3.14 for π.

A ≈ 3.14 × 196 Evaluate the power.

A ≈ 615.44 Multiply.

The area of the circular area is about 615.44 ft².

Find the area of the square field.

A = s² Use the formula.

A = 28² Substitute. Use 28 for s.

A = 784 Evaluate the power.

The area of the square field is 784 m².

Find how much of the field is not reached by the sprinkler. Subtract the circular area sprayed by the sprinkler from the area of the square field.

784 − 615.44 = 168.56

To find the quotient 4 divided1/5 multiply 4 by

Answers

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

When dividing numbers by fractions, we can simply multiply the  umber by the reciprocal of the decimal. So,

4 ÷ 1/5 = 4 × (reciprocal of 1/5)

A reciprocal of a number is the same number written under 1. aka, 1 divided by that number, which simply is flipping the numerator and denominator of a number.

So the reciprocal of 1/5 is 5/1 = 5.

So 4 ÷ 1/5 = 4 × 5.

So your answer is 5.

You sold 27 tickets total. Some of the tickets were student tickets and the rest were adult tickers.
You collected $170 selling the tickets. If the student tickets cost $5 and the adult tickets cost $10.
how many student tickets did you sell?

Answers

Answer:

You sold 20 student tickets.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Total tickets sold = 27

Total amount collected = $170

Cost of student ticket = $5

Cost of adult ticket = $10

Let,

x be the number of students tickets sold

y be the number of adult tickets sold

x+y = 27          Eqn 1

5x+10y=170     Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 10

10(x+y=27)

10x+10y=270     Eqn 3

Subtracting Eqn 2 from Eqn 3

(10x+10y)-(5x+10y)=270-170

10x+10y-5x-10y=100

5x=100

Dividing both sides by 5

[tex]\frac{5x}{5}=\frac{100}{5}\\x=20[/tex]

Hence,

You sold 20 student tickets.
