Q- A bag contain red, yellow and blue beads.

The ratio of red beads to yellow beads is 2:3
The ratio of yellow beads to blue beads is 5:4

Work out what fraction of the beads are red.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The fraction of the beads that are red is

Step-by-step explanation:

Algebraic Expressions

A bag contains red (r), yellow (y), and blue (b) beads. We are given the following ratios:

r:y = 2:3

y:b = 5:4

We are required to find r:s, where s is the total of beads in the bag, or

s = r + y + b

Thus, we need to calculate:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{r}{r+y+b} \qquad\qquad [1][/tex]

Knowing that:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{r}{y}=\frac{2}{3} \qquad\qquad [2][/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{y}{b}=\frac{5}{4}[/tex]

Multiplying the equations above:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{r}{y}\frac{y}{b}=\frac{2}{3}\frac{5}{4}[/tex]

Simplifying:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{r}{b}=\frac{5}{6} \qquad\qquad [3][/tex]

Dividing [1] by r:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{r}{r+y+b}=\displaystyle \frac{1}{1+y/r+b/r}[/tex]

Substituting from [2] and [3]:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{r}{r+y+b}=\displaystyle \frac{1}{1+3/2+6/5}[/tex]

Operating:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{r}{r+y+b}=\displaystyle \frac{1}{\frac{10+3*5+6*2}{10}}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{r}{r+y+b}=\displaystyle \frac{10}{10+15+12}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{r}{r+y+b}=\displaystyle \frac{10}{37}[/tex]

The fraction of the beads that are red is [tex]\mathbf{\frac{10}{37}}[/tex]

Jamal drew angle bisector AD with D on the line segment BC. If BD=3, DC=9 and AB+AC=28 find AB and AC.

Answers

Answer:

  AB = 7

  AC = 21

Step-by-step explanation:

Because AD is an angle bisector it divides the triangle into proportional parts. That is ...

  AC/DC = AB/BD

  (28 -AB)/9 = AB/3 . . . . use AC = 28 -AB

  28 -AB = 3AB . . . . . . . . multiply by 9

  28 = 4AB . . . . . . . . add AB

  AB = 28/4 = 7 . . . . divide by 4

  AC = 28 -7 = 21

The lengths AB and AC are 7 and 21, respectively.

_____

Additional comment

The triangle ABC cannot exist. The reason is that its side measures are 7, 12, and 21. The sum of 7 and 12 is not greater than 21, so the side measures do not satisfy the triangle inequality.

For the triangle to exist, the sum of AB and AC cannot exceed 24 for the given values of BD and DC.

A student takes 1.5 hours to complete her midterm. How many seconds did it take her to finish the assessment?

Answers

Answer: 5,400 seconds

Explanation: 1.5 hours is equal to 90 minutes and there is 60 seconds in a minute all you have to do is multiply 90 x 60 hope this helped(:

The student took 5400 seconds to finish her assessment.

Given,

A student takes 1.5 hours to complete her midterm.

We have to find how many seconds it took to finish her midterm assessment.

How many seconds in an minute?

One hour = 60 minutes

1 minute = 60 seconds

We have,

A student takes 1.5 hours to complete her midterm.

1.5 hours = to complete the assessment.

Converting 1.5 hours into seconds.

1 minutes = 60 seconds

Multiplying 60 on both sides.

60  x 1 minutes = 60 x 60 seconds

60 minutes = 3600 seconds

1 hour = 60 minutes

1 hour = 3600 seconds

Multiplying 1.5 on both sides.

1.5 x 1 hour = 1.5 x 3600 seconds

1.5 hours = 5400 seconds.

Thus the student took 5400 seconds to finish her assessment.

What is the image of the point (2,3) after the transformation Ry-axis?

Answers

Answer:

The image of the point (2, 3) after the reflection across the y-axis will be: (-2, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that when a point, let say P(x, y), is reflected across the y-axis, the sign of x-coordinate is reversed but y-coordinate remains the same.

In other words, the rule is:

P(x, y) → P'(-x, y)

Here, P'(x, y) is the image of the original point P(x, y) after the reflection across the y-axis.

Considering the point

A(2, 3)

Let us reflect the point A(2, 3) across the y-axis.

We know the rule:

P(x, y) → P'(-x, y)

so

A(2, 3) → A'(-2, 3)

Thus, the image of the point (2, 3) after the reflection across the y-axis will be: (-2, 3)

Answers

Given:

The mean number of emails adele received during a week was 51.

The numbers received for the six days were 39, 57, 70, 45, 71, 32.

To find:

The number of emails received on the seventh day.

Solution:

Let x be the number of emails received on the seventh day.

We know that,

[tex]\text{Mean}=\dfrac{\text{Sum of observations}}{\text{Number of observations}}[/tex]

[tex]51=\dfrac{314+x}{7}[/tex]

Multiply both sides by 7.

[tex]357=314+x[/tex]

Subtract 314 from both sides.

[tex]357-314=x[/tex]

[tex]43=x[/tex]

Therefore, she received 43 emails on the seventh day.

Item 2: skirt $16.19
Item 3: t shirt $8.99
Subtotal is $43.17
Discount the cheapest item 30% off. Subtract subtotal-discount for sale price. Tax is 3.5% add sale price + tax what is the final with tax?

Answers

Answer:

The final price including tax is $41.89

Step-by-step explanation:

The following items are on sale:

Sleeved dress $17.99

Skirt $16.19

T-shirt $8.99

Subtotal $43.17

The cheapest item is the T-shirt for $8.99 and it will be discounted by 30%:

$8.99 - 30/100 * $8.99 = $8.99 - $2.70 = $6.29

The total sale price is now: $43.17-$2.70=$40.47

Now we add the 3.5% tax:

$40.47 + 3.5/100 * $40.47 = $40.47 + $1.42 = $41.89

The final price including tax is $41.89
