Granny has taken up deep-sea fishing! Last week, she caught a fish so big that she had to cut it into 3 pieces (head, body and tail) in order to weigh it. The tail weighed 9kg and the head weighed the same as the tail plus one third of the body. The body weighed as much as the head and tail together. How much did the whole fish weigh?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

54kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Body weight = B

Tail weight = T

Head weight = H

Total weight = F

Use equation = B + T + H = F

We are told that T = 9kg, H = T + (1/3) x B, B = H + T

We have 3 equations and 3 unknowns, solve the system of equations to find W.  

B = H + 9

H = 9 + 1/3 x (H+9)=9+H/3+3 --> 2/3 x H = 12  --> H = 18

B = 18 + 9 = 27

F = 18 + 27 + 9 = 54kg

The rate of return is the profit or loss on an investment as a percent of the initial investment cost. What is the rate of return on an investment that is now worth $20,880 and originally cost $18,000?

Answers

Answer:

Rate of return = 16%

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the rate of the return is shown below:

Data provided in the question

Current value of the investment = $20,880 = C

Originally cost = $18,000 = O

N = Net earnings = C - O

= $20,880 - $18,000

= $2,880

Based on the above information, the rate of return is

[tex]= \frac{N}{O} \\\\ = \frac{\$2,880}{\$18,000}[/tex]

= 16%

Hence, the rate of return is 16%

Shannon poured 1 1/2 a punch into each of 5 glasses. how much total punch in cups did Shannon pour?
A. 10
B. 3 1/2
C. 7 1/2
D. 2 1/2​

Answers

Answer:

7 1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

You said that she poured 1 1/5 pouches in each cup. There are 5 cups, so multiply 1 1/5 by 5.

(e.g)

1 1/5+1 1/5= 3 because 1+1=2 & 1/2+1/2=1 so you add them and get 3

Do that twice and you get 6

then you have 1 one more cup left so add 1+6=7 then add the half 7+1 1/2=7 1/2

184 sixth graders are going on a field trip. There needs to be one chaperone for every four students. If a bus can hold 50 people, how many busses will they need for the trip? Hint: You can't use part of a bus! *

Answers

Answer:

5 buses

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of 6th graders going for the field trip = 184

Step 1

Divide the total number of students by 4

184/4 = 46

We have 46 groups of six graders.

Step 2

There needs to be one chaperone for every four students.

We have 46 groups of six graders

This means there is need for 1 chaperone per group

Hence, we have 46 chaperones

Step 3

Find total number of people going for the field trip

184 students + 46 chaperones

= 230 people

Step 4

If a bus can hold 50 people, how many buses will they need for the trip?

50 people = 1 bus

230 people = ??y

50 × y = 230

y = 230/50

y = 4.6 buses

Hence, 4.6 buses would be needed but since we can't have 0.6(part) of a bus figuratively, as buses come in whole numbers, we approximate to the nearest whole number

= 4.6 ≈ 5

Therefore, they would be needing 5 buses for the trip.

How do you tell when the slope is negative?

Answers

If the line goes downhill as you read from left to right, then the slope is negative.

The slope is positive when you go uphill, reading from left to right.

A slope of 0 means the line is completely horizontal or level

If the line is completely vertical, then the slope is undefined.

Look at the Rise/run: if rise / run is positive, then it the slope is positive. If the rise / run is negative, then the slope is negative. (In order to be positive, both numbers must have the same symbol ; ex +4/+7 or -2/-5. For it to be negative both values to be different symbols ex -4 / +1 or 6/-11)

Suppose the roots of the polynomial $x^2 - mx + n$ are positive prime integers (not necessarily distinct). Given that $m < 20,$ how many possible values of $n$ are there?

Answers

Answer:

18 values for n are possible.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the quadratic polynomial:

[tex]$x^2 - mx + n$[/tex]

such that:

Roots are positive prime integers and

[tex]$m < 20$[/tex]

To find:

How many possible values of [tex]n[/tex] are there ?

Solution:

First of all, let us have a look at the sum and product of a quadratic equation.

If the quadratic equation is:

[tex]Ax^{2} +Bx+C[/tex]

and the roots are: [tex]\alpha[/tex] and [tex]\beta[/tex]

Then sum of roots, [tex]\alpha+\beta = -\frac{B}{A}[/tex]

Product of roots, [tex]\alpha \beta = \frac{C}{A}[/tex]

Comparing the given equation with standard equation, we get:

A = 1, B = -m and C = n

Sum of roots,  [tex]\alpha+\beta = -\frac{-m}{1} = m[/tex]

Product of roots, [tex]\alpha \beta = \frac{n}{1} = n[/tex]

We are given that [tex]m<20[/tex]  

[tex]\alpha[/tex] and [tex]\beta[/tex] are positive prime integers such that their sum is less than 20.

Let us have a look at some of the positive prime integers:

2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 23, 29, .....

Now, we have to choose two such prime integers from above list such that their sum is less than 20 and the roots can be repetitive as well.

So, possible combinations and possible value of [tex]n (= \alpha \times \beta)[/tex] are:

[tex]1.\ 2, 2\Rightarrow n = 2\times 2 = 4\\2.\ 2, 3 \Rightarrow n = 6\\3.\ 2, 5 \Rightarrow n = 10\\4.\ 2, 7\Rightarrow n = 14\\5.\ 2, 11 \Rightarrow n = 22\\6.\ 2, 13 \Rightarrow n = 26\\7.\ 2, 17 \Rightarrow n = 34\\8.\ 3, 3\Rightarrow n = 3\times 3 = 9\\9.\ 3, 5 \Rightarrow n = 15\\10.\ 3, 7 \Rightarrow n = 21\\[/tex]

[tex]11.\ 3, 11\Rightarrow n = 33\\12.\ 3, 13 \Rightarrow n = 39\\13.\ 5, 5 \Rightarrow n = 25\\14.\ 5, 7 \Rightarrow n = 35\\15.\ 5, 11 \Rightarrow n = 55\\16.\ 5, 13 \Rightarrow n = 65\\17.\ 7, 7 \Rightarrow n = 49\\18.\ 7, 11 \Rightarrow n = 77[/tex]

So,as shown above 18 values for n are possible.

- 8(2 + 4y) = 7(5 - 7y) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides

- 16 - 32y = 35 - 49y ( add 49y to both sides )

- 16 + 17y = 35 ( add 16 to both sides )

17y = 51 ( divide both sides by 17 )

y = 3

-----------------------------------------------

(b)

x + 7 - [tex]\frac{8x}{3}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{17}{6}[/tex] - [tex]\frac{5x}{2}[/tex]

Multiply through by 6 to clear the fractions

42 - 10x = 17 - 15x ( add 15x to both sides )

42 + 5x = 17 ( subtract 42 from both sides )

5x = - 25 ( divide both sides by 5 )

What is the correct postulate/theorem/definition

Answers

Answer: Reflexive property

This is the idea that any segment is the same length as itself (in this case, segment VO is the same length as segment VO). Think of a mirror reflecting an identical image of something in front of the mirror.

It might seem redundant to say VO = VO, but it's useful when you want to break up a figure into smaller more manageable pieces to do the proof.

The measure of angle MRS exists equivalent to the measure of the angle MRO or m∠MRS = m∠MRO.

What is quadrilateral?

It exists described as the four-sided polygon in geometry containing four edges and four corners.

∠MRS ≅ ∠MRO (given)

From the given figure, we get

∠MRS + ∠MRO = ∠SRO

∠MRS + ∠MRO = 180 (as SRO exists a straight line segment)

Given: ∠MRS exists congruent to ∠MRO

2∠MRS = 180 degree

∠MRS = 90 degree

∠MRO = 180 - 90 = 90 degree

m∠MRS = m∠MRO

Therefore, the measure of angle MRS exists equivalent to the measure of the angle MRO or m∠MRS = m∠MRO.

Which of the following could be the graph of 3x + 4y = 12?​

Answers

Answer:

A graph that goes through (4, 0), (8, -3), (0, 3), and (-4, 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

To find what this looks like it is easier to put it into slope-intercept form which is y = mx + b

To get our equation to look like that we have to get y by itself

3x + 4y = 12

Subtract 3x from both sides

4y = -3x + 12

Divide both sides by 4

[tex]y =- \frac{3}{4}x + 3[/tex]

We now know the y-intercept is (0, 3)

Now we follow the slope to give us more points

More points are (4, 0), (8, -3), and (-4, 6)

The answer would be a graph that goes through those points.

What is the name of the angle formed by BA and BC', given that the two rays share a common endpoint?
A ZBAC
B. ZABC
C. ZACB
D. ZCAB

Answers

Answer:

B. ∠ABC

Step-by-step explanation:

When naming an angle using three points, the points should be given in order, with the vertex of the angle in the middle. B is the only option that has the letters in the right order.

∠CBA would also be a valid name for the angle, but that's not one of the options.

The diagram below shows what the problem is describing.

Rays BA and BC will form an angle named B. <ABC.

Two rays sharing an endpoint will form an angle with a vertex at their meeting point.

The vertex of the angle formed is represented with the letter or point at which both rays meet.

As shown in the diagram attached below, the point that rays BA and BC meet is at point B.

Therefore, the letter of the vertex will be in the middle of the three letters used in naming the angle.

Thus:

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\huge \boxed{{y=2x+5}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b (slope-intercept form of a line)

m is slope

b is y-intercept

The y-intercept of the line is (0, 5) or 5.

y = mx + 5

The slope of the line can be found through rise over run.

(1, 7) and (2, 9) are two points on the line.

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (9 - 7)/(2 - 1)

m = 2/1 = 2

The slope of the line is 2.

y = 2x + 5

Answer: Hi! The equation for this line would be c), y = 2x + 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope - intercept form: y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y - intercept.

First, we should determine the y - intercept. We can observe using the graph that the line intercepts the y - axis at point (0, 5), so we take the y - coordinate (5) and insert it into our equation.

y = mx + 5

This automatically rules out options d) and b).

Next, we find the slope. The formula for finding the slope is (y2 - y1) ÷ (x2 - x1).

We need to choose two coordinates before we can calculate the slope.

Let's use (1, 7) and (0,5).

We will not insert the values into or slope formula:

(7 - 5) ÷ (1 - 0)

When we solve this, the quotient is 2.

This is our slope, and we can insert the value into our slope equation - -

y = 2x + 5

This rules out option a). So, your answer is option c), y = 2x + 5.

Three circles are inscribed in a rectangle of width w and height h as shown. Two of the circles are congruent and are each tangent to two adjacent sides of the rectangle and to each other. The other circle is larger and is tangent to three sides of the rectangle and to the two smaller circles. What the ratio of h to w? Express your answer as a decimal to the nearest hundredth.

Answers

Answer: 0.69

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

Explanation:

The two smaller circles have a height of h, so one circle has a height of h/2 = 0.5h

The radius of each smaller circle is (0.5h)/2 = 0.25h

Draw an xy axis. Place the bottom left corner of the rectangle at the origin (0,0)

The center of the lower smaller circle is at location (0.25h, 0.25h). Call this point A.

Let B be the center of the larger circle. It has coordinates (x,y). We don't know x, but we know that y = 0.5h since the center must be at the halfway point in terms of the height of this rectangle. So the larger circle has a radius of 0.5h

Draw a line segment connecting A and B. The length of this segment, call it d, is d = 0.5h + 0.25h = 0.75h. Note how I added the two radius values mentioned earlier.

-------------

Summarizing everything so far, we have

A = (0.25h, 0.25h)

B = (x, 0.5h)

d = 0.75h

The distance formula is then used

d = distance from A to B

d = length of segment AB

d = sqrt( (x1-x2)^2 + (y1-y2)^2 )

0.75h = sqrt( (0.25h - x)^2 + (0.25h - 0.5h)^2 )

(0.75h)^2 = (0.25h - x)^2 + (-0.25h)^2

0.5625h^2 = 0.0625h^2 - 0.5hx + x^2 + 0.0625h^2

x^2 - 0.5hx + 0.4375h^2 = 0

From here you use the quadratic formula to get x = 0.9571067811865h approximately (the other solution is ignored as it's negative). See the attached image below if you're curious what the quadratic formula steps would look like.

This x value is the x coordinate of point B, which is the center of the larger circle. This spans the horizontal distance from the left edge of the rectangle to the center of the larger circle. The remaining horizontal distance is h/2 as it is the radius of the larger circle.

Therefore,

w = 0.9571067811865h + 0.5h

w = 1.4571067811865h

-------------

We have turned w into a roughly equivalent expression that has an h in it, allowing us to find the ratio of h to w

h/w = h/(1.4571067811865h) = 1/1.4571067811865 = 0.68629150101527

When rounding to two decimal places, we get roughly 0.69
