A scout troop consists of 10 boys and 10 girls. The total weight of their backpacks is 600 pounds. All the boys have to carry backpacks that weigh the same amount. All the girls, too, must carry bags of equal weight, but the girls' backpacks are 1.5 times lighter than the boys' backpacks. How heavy is one boy's backpack?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

36 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

let the weight of each boy's backpack be B and the weight of each girl's backpack be G.

Given that the total weight of all (i.e 10 boys' and 10 girls') backpacks equals 600 lbs,  i.e.

10B + 10G = 600   (simplifying by dividing both sides by 10)

B + G = 60 ------- eq 1

Also given that a girl's backpack is 1.5 times LESS than a boy's backpack.

written another way, we can say that a boy's backpack is 1.5 times MORE than a girl's backpack, or:

B = 1.5G   (rearranging)

B - 1.5G = 0     ------ eq 2

We can solve eq 1 and eq 2 by elimination,

(eq 1) - (eq 2)

(B + G) - (B - 1.5G) = 60 - 0

B + G - B + 1.5G = 60

G  + 1.5G = 60

2.5G = 60   (divide both sides by 2.5)

G = 60 / 2.5

G = 24 lbs   (substitute this into equation 1)

B + G = 60

B + 24 = 60

B = 60 - 24

B = 36 lbs

PLEASE help me with this question!!! REALLY URGENT!

Answers

Answer:

The third table is the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Here in this question, we are concerned with determine which of the tables correctly represents what an exponential function is.

An exponential function is a function of the form;

y = x^n

where the independent variable x in this case is raised to a certain exponent so as to give the results on the dependent variable axis (y-axis)

In the table, we can see that we have 2 segments, one that contains digits 1,2 and so on while the other contains purely the powers of 10.

Now, let’s set up an exponential outlook;

y = 10^x

So we have;

1 = 10^0

10 = 10^1

1/10 = 10^-1

1000 = 10^3

1/100 = 10^-2

We can clearly see here that we have an increase in the value of y, depending on the value of the exponent.

However it is only this table that responds to this successive correctness as the other tables in the answer do have a point where they fail.

For example;

10^-2 is not 10 which makes the fourth table wrong

10^4 is not 100 which makes the first table wrong

we have same error on second table too

In a triangle the sum of the internal angles is 180 °.... Thus,

Ô = 180 - 30

Ô = 60

The desired area is the area of the rectangle triangle, minus the area of the circular sector whose angle 60

A1 = area of the rectangle triangle

TG B = OA/AB

AB = OA / TG B

AB = 6 / TG 30

AB = 6√3

A1 = (AB . OA)/2

A1 = (6√3 . 6)/2

A1 = 18√3

A2 = area of the circular sector

(rule of 3)

360    ------------   πR²

60     ------------    X

X = 60πR²/360

X = 6π

So,

10) Find the least number that must be subtracted from the following numbers to make them perfect squares. a) 1098 b) 4498

Answers

Answer:

a. 9

b. 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) √1098 = 33.136

33^3 = 1089

So the answer is 1098 - 1089

= 9.

b) √4498 = 67.067

67^2 =  4489

Answer = 9.

Answer:

a). 9

b). 9

Step-by-step explanation:

a) If you try to subtract 1 to 8 from 1098, it won't make a perfect square. But if you subtract 9 from 1098 (that will make it 1089), it will make a perfect square.

√1089 = 33

33² = 33 × 33 = 1089

So the answer is 9.

b). If you try to subtract 1 to 8 from 4498, it won't make a perfect square. But if you subtract 9 from 4498 (that will make it 4489), it will make a perfect square.

√4489 = 67

67² = 67 × 67 = 4489

So the answer is 9.

Let f (x) = |2). Write a function g whose graph is a vertical shrink by a factor of
followed by a translation 2 units up of the graph of f.

Answers

Answer:

This is poorly written, so i will answer it as it was:

"Let f (x) = |2). Write a function g(x) whose graph is a vertical shrink by a factor of  A, followed by a translation 2 units up of the graph of f."

I don't really know what you do mean by I2), so i will answer it in a general way.

First, we do a vertical shrink of factor A.

A must be a number smaller than one and larger than zero., then if g(x) is a vertical shrink of factor A of the graph of f(x), we have that:

g(x) = A*f(x)

As 0 < A < 1

We will have that the graph of g(x) is a vertical compression of the graph of f(x)

Now we do a vertical shift of 2 units up.

A general vertical shift of N units up is written as:

g(x) = f(x) + N

Where N is a positive number.

So in our case, we have:

g(x) = A*f(x) + 2.

Where you will need to replace the values of A and f(x) depending on what the actual question says,

In 5 hours a small plane can travel downwind for 4000 kilometers
or upward 3000 kilometers. Find the speed of this plane with no wind and the speed of the wind current.

write as an equation​

Answers

Answer:

the speed of the plane with no wind is 700 km/h and the speed of the wind is 100 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Let V be the speed of the plane and v the speed of the wind. Down current, they are in opposite directions, and the plane travels a a distance of 4000 km in 5 hours,so

5(V - v) = 4000

V - v = 800    (1)

For upwind movement, since the plane travels 3000 km in 5 hours, so

5(V + v) = 3000

V + v = 600 (2)

adding equations (1) and (2), we have

V - v = 800

+

V + v = 600

2V = 1400

V = 1400/2 = 700 km/h

subtracting equations (2) from (1), we have

V - v = 800

-

V + v = 600

-2v = 200

v = -200/2 = -100 km/h

So, the speed of the plane with no wind is 700 km/h and the speed of the wind is 100 km/h

The perpendicular bisector of the line segment connecting the points $(-3,8)$ and $(-5,4)$ has an equation of the form $y = mx + b$. Find $m+b$.

Answers

Answer:

m = -1/2 and b = 6.5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope of the original line segment, we have to do the change in y/the change in x:

(4-8)/(-5--3) = -4/-2 = 2

2 is the slope of the original line segment, but since this is the perpendicular bisector, we have to take the negative reciprocal of 2 so m = -1/2

To find b we substitute the values of x, y, and m into the equation. Let's use the x value of -3 and the y value of 8:

y = mx + b

8 = -1/2(-3) + b

8 = 3/2 + b

6.5 = b

Micha is playing a game with five cards numbered 1 through 5. He will place the cards in a bag and draw one card at random three times, replacing the card each time. To win a prize, he must draw the number 5 all three times. What is the probability he will draw the number 5 all three times?

Answers

Answer: 0.008

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 3 experiments.

Each experiment is exactly the same: "Drawing the card with the number 5, out of a bag with five cards".

in a random selection all the cards have exactly the same probability of being drawn, so the probability of drawing the 5, is equal to the quotient between the number of cards with the 5 (only one) and the total number of cards in the bag (5) then the probability is:

p = 1/5.

And we want this event to happen 3 consecutive times, then the total probability is equal to the product of the probabilities for each event:

P = (1/5)*(1/5)*(1/5) = 1/125 = 0.008

In a naval engagement, one-third of the fleet was captured, one-sixth was sunk, and two ships were destroyed by fire. One-seventh of the surviving ships were lost in a storm after the battle. Finally, the twenty-four remaining ships sailed home. How many ships were in the fleet before the engagement?

Answers

Answer:

60 ships.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number of ships in the naval fleet be represented by x

One-third of the fleet was captured = 1/3x

One-sixth was sunk = 1/6x

Two ships were destroyed by fire = 2

Let surviving ships be represented by y

One-seventh of the surviving ships were lost in a storm after the battle = 1/7y

Finally, the twenty-four remaining ships sailed home

The 24 remaining ships that sailed home =

y - 1/7y = 6/7y of the surviving fleet sailed home.

Hence

24 = 6/7y

24 = 6y/7

24 × 7/ 6

y = 168/6

y = 28

Therefore, total number of ships that survived is 28.

Surviving ships lost in the storm = 1/7y = 1/7 × 28 = 4

Total number of ships in the fleet(x) =

x = 1/3x + 1/6x + 2 + 28

Collect like terms

x - (1/3x + 1/6x) = 30

x - (1/2x) = 30

1/2x = 30

x = 30 ÷ 1/2

x = 30 × 2

x = 60

Therefore, ships that were in the fleet before the engagement were 60 ships.
