1. Patrick is saving money to buy a video game that costs $68.


Part A. Patrick receives $6 every week for doing chores at home. Patrick spends $2.00 every week and saves the rest.
How many full weeks will it take Patrick to save enough money to purchase the video game? Show your work and justify your answer.



Part B. Patrick can earn extra money by cutting grass. His neighbors will pay him $4.00 for each lawn that takes him 30 minutes. What is the amount of time, in extra HOURS, that Patrick would have to spend cutting grass to be able to buy a second $68 video game for his friend? Show your work to justify your answer.

Answers

Answer:

Part A - 17 full weeks

Part B - 8 hours and 30 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Key skills needed: Rate of change, Equation Creating & Solving

PART A

1) We need to make an equation for the amount of money Patrick saves each week. He earns $6.00 and then spends $2.00

Since he saves the rest, the amount of money he saves each week is

---> $6.00 - $2.00 = $6 - $2 = $4

2) Since Patrick saves $4 a week, let's say that the number of weeks is "[tex]w[/tex]"

Since the game costs $68 we can make the equation

--> [tex]4w = 68[/tex]

4 is the money he saves each week.

w is the number of weeks he saves

68 is the cost of the game

3) Divide by 4 on both sides and you will get --> [tex]w = 17[/tex]

(68 divided by 4 is equal to 17)

Therefore 17 full weeks is your answer.

Part B

1) Patrick earns 4 dollars for each lawn mowed. Each lawn takes 30 minutes to mow.

30 minutes is half an hour ---> This means that for each hour he would be making $8 (since $4 x 2 = $8)

2)  So if we say the number of hours is "[tex]h[/tex]", the equation we can make is

---> [tex]8h = 68[/tex]

8 is the money he makes per hour

h is the number of hours he mows the lawns

68 is the cost of the game he wants to buy for his friend

3) Divide both sides by 8 and you will get

--> [tex]h = 8.5[/tex]

(68 divided by 8 is 8.5 (8 and a half))

This means that he needs to mow lawns for 8.5 hours in order to buy the video game for his friend.

8.5 hours is the same as 8 hours and 30 minutes, which is the answer.

Hope you understand and have a nice day!! :D

Sara and Sam are each working on a science project in which they need to research the individual masses of the nine planets (including the dwarf planet Pluto as the ninth planet). Sara completes her data for the planets' masses in kilograms while Sam's data is in milligrams.


Look at picture.


Approximate how many times greater Saturn's mass is than Mercury's.

A) 200,000
B) 2,000,000
C) 2,000
D) 20,000

Answers

Answer:

2000 times

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Sara:

[tex]Mercury = 3.302 * 10^{23[/tex]

[tex]Saturn = 5.685 * 10^{26[/tex]

Sam:

[tex]Mercury = 3.302 * 10^{29[/tex]

[tex]Saturn = 5.685 * 10^{32[/tex]

To determine the number of times, the mass of Saturn is greater than the mass of Mercury, we simply do the following:

[tex]Times = \frac{Saturn}{Mercury}[/tex]

Using Sara's measurement; this gives:

[tex]Times = \frac{5.685 * 10^{26}}{3.302 * 10^{23}}[/tex]

Apply law of indices

[tex]Times = \frac{5.685 * 10^{26-23}}{3.302}[/tex]

[tex]Times = \frac{5.685 * 10^3}{3.302}[/tex]

[tex]Times = 5.685/3.302 * 10^3[/tex]

[tex]Times = 1.72 * 10^3[/tex]

Approximate

[tex]Times = 2 * 10^3[/tex]

[tex]Times = 2000[/tex]

1. Another line k is perpendicular to line j and passes through
The equation for line j can be written as y =1/2x-1
the point (6, -6). Choose the equation for line k.

Answers

Answer:

The equation for line k is [tex]y = -2x + 6[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line has the following format:

[tex]y = mx + b[/tex]

In which m is the slope.

When two lines are perpendicular, the multiplication of their slopes is -1.

The equation for line j can be written as y =1/2x-1

Since k is perpendicular to j, and the slope of j is 1/2, the slope of k is:

[tex]\frac{1}{2}m = -1[/tex]

[tex]m = -2[/tex]

So

[tex]y = -2x + b[/tex]

It passes through the point (6,-6).

This means that when [tex]x = 6, y = -6[/tex]. So

[tex]y = -2x + b[/tex]

[tex]-6 = -2(6) + b[/tex]

[tex]b = 6[/tex]

So

[tex]y = -2x + 6[/tex]

Adam would like to buy a used car, and collected several data to evaluate the best model (such as age, price, weight, etc.) Thanks to a scatterplot, he established that the relation between age and weight is somewhat linear. He calculated that the correlation between age and weight is 0.512. Describe the association.

Answers

Answer: There is a strong association between age and weight.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correlation coefficient (r) is used to describe the relationship between two variables.

[tex]-1\leq r\leq1[/tex]

If r lies between -1 to -0.5 or 0.5 to 1, then there is strong association between them.

Here,  Variables: Age and weight.

correlation coefficient = 0.512

That means, there is a strong association between age and weight.

Anna is selling boxes of cookies and tubs of popcorn for a Student Council fundraiser. On Monday, she made $40 selling 4 boxes of cookies and 2 tubs of popcorn. On Tuesday, she made $35 selling 1 box of cookies and 3 tubs of popcorn.

Write a system of equations to represent the cost of a box of cookies, x, and the cost of a tub of popcorn, y.

Answers

Answer:

5 boxes of cookies and 5 tubs of popcorn = $75

Step-by-step explanation:

To find y divide what is sold by 4 boxes of cookies and x by 2 tubs of popcorn.

The solution is

The cost of box of cookies x = $ 5

The cost of tub of popcorn y = $ 10

What is an Equation?

Equations are mathematical statements with two algebraic expressions flanking the equals (=) sign on either side.

It demonstrates the equality of the relationship between the expressions printed on the left and right sides.

Coefficients, variables, operators, constants, terms, expressions, and the equal to sign are some of the components of an equation. The "=" sign and terms on both sides must always be present when writing an equation.

Given data ,

Let the equation be represented as A

Now , the value of A is

Let the cost of cookies be = x

Let the cost of popcorn be = y

And ,

On Monday, Anna made $40 selling 4 boxes of cookies and 2 tubs of popcorn

Substituting the values in the equation , we get

4x + 2y = 40   be equation (1)

And ,

On Tuesday, Anna made $35 selling 1 box of cookies and 3 tubs of popcorn

Substituting the values in the equation , we get

x + 3y = 35   be equation (2)

On simplifying both equations , we get

Multiply equation (2) by 4 , we get

4x + 12y = 140   be equation (3)

Subtracting equation (1) from equation (3) , we get

10y = 140 - 40

10y = 100

Divide by 10 on both sides of the equation , we get

y = $ 10

So , the cost of tub of popcorn is $ 10

Substituting the value of y in equation (2) , we get

x + 3y =  35

x + 30 = 35

Subtracting 30 on both sides of the equation , we get

x = $ 5

So , the cost of box of cookies is $ 5

Hence , the cost of cookies is $ 5 and cost of popcorn is $ 10

Which of the following is a solution to the system of two equations y = 3x – 7 and 4x – 5y = -20?

Answers

Answer:

x = 5, and y = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

You can solve this system by solving either of the equations for either x or y, and substituting that into the other.

Since the first equation is already defined for y, let's substitute that into the second equation:

4x - 5y = -20

4x - 5(3x - 7) = -20

4x - 15x + 35 = -20

4x - 15x = -20 - 35

-11x = -55

x = 5

We can then plug that into either of the original equations to find y:

y = 3x - 7

y = 3 * 5 - 7

y = 15 - 7

y = 8

We can also verify our answer by plugging one of the values into either of the original equations and seeing what we get:

4x - 5y = -20

4x - 5 * 8 = -20

4x - 40 = -20

4x = 20

x = 5

So we know the answer is correct.  x is equal to five, and y is equal to eight.

Replace the values of A, b, x, and y to write an exponential equation that represents the number of cells present at h hours.

Answers

Answer:

100(2)^h =6,400

Step-by-step explanation:

For an equation in the form A(b)^x=y , A represents the initial amount, and b represents the growth rate. At 0 hours, there were 100 cells, so A=100 .

Between 0 hours and 1 hour, the number of cells doubled from 100 to 200, or 100(2). Between 1 and 2 hours, the number of cells again doubled from 200 to 400, or 100(2)^2 . So the growth rate, or b, is 2.

The table shows that at h hours, there were 6,400 cells. Therefore, the equation that represents the number of cells at h hours is 100(2)^h =6,400.

Step-by-step explanation:

I think the answer is 27.89 feet, C

The building is 27.89 feet far from the base of the ladder if a 32-foot ladder is leaning against a building and forms a 29.37° angle with the ground.

What is trigonometry?

Trigonometry is a branch of mathematics that deals with the relationship between sides and angles of a right-angle triangle.

We have:

Lenght of the ladder = 32 foot

The angle formed between the ladder and the ground = 29.37°

The ladder, wall of the building, and the ground are making a right-angle triangle.

Let's suppose the base of the ladder is x feet far from the building.

Applying the Cos ratio to find the value of x:

[tex]\rm Cos29.37\°=\frac{x}{32}[/tex]

x = 27.887 feet or     (Cos29.37°  = 0.871)

x = 27.89 feet

Thus, the building is 27.89 feet far from the base of the ladder if a 32-foot ladder is leaning against a building and forms a 29.37° angle with the ground.

Or in decimal form: 201.25 yard^2

Step-by-step explanation:

First convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions or even decimal form  so it is easier to operate with them:

Base = 11  1/2 yards = 23/2 yards = 11.5 yards

Height = 17 1/2 yards =  35/2 yards = 17.5 yards

Use the formula for the area of a parallelogram:

Area = Base x Height
