1) What fractional part of the total crackers originally in the box did Alexander
eat on Wednesday?
2) what fractional part of the total crackers originally in the box are left. 3) if there are 4 crackers left in the box after Alexander finished eating crackers on wensday, how many crackers were in the box before it was opened. (Please help!)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1. 1/12x

2.1/6x

3. 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x=number of crackers in the box

On Monday, Alexander are 1/2 of the crackers

1/2 of x

=1/2x

Remaining

x-1/2x=2x-1/2

=1/2x

Tuesday=1/2 of what was left

=1/2 of 1/2x

=1/2×1/2x

=1/4x

Remaining

1/2x-1/4x

=2x-x/4

=1/4x

Wednesday=1/3 of what was left

=1/3 of 1/4x

=1/12x

Remaining

1/4x-1/12x

=3x-x/12

=2/12x

=1/6x

1. What fractional part of the total crackers originally in the box did Alexander eat on Wednesday?

1/12x

2. what fractional part of the total crackers originally in the box are left.

1/6x

3. if there are 4 crackers left in the box after Alexander finished eating crackers on wensday, how many crackers were in the box before it was opened.

1/6x=3

Divide both sides by 1/6

1/6x ÷ 1/6 = 3 ÷ 1/6

x=3÷1/6

=3 × 6/1

=18

x=18

you are working with a 30-60-90 right triangle. its longer leg measures 6. What is the length of the hypotenuse

Answers

Answer:

4sqrt(3) = 6.928

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio of the lengths of the sides of a 36-60-90 triangle:

short leg : long leg : hypotenuse

     1         :  sqrt(3)   :       2

The short leg is sqrt(3) times shorter than the long leg.

The hypotenuse is twice the short leg.

long leg = 6

short leg = 6/sqrt(3)

hypotenuse = 12/sqrt(3)

12/sqrt(3) * sqrt(3)/sqrt(3) = 12sqrt(3)/3 = 4sqrt(3)

A company knows that if it sets the price of a product at p dollars, the number of units sold will be x million, where p = 2 - x. If the cost of the product is given by 0.25 + 0.5x million dollars. What price should be set to make a profit of $ 0.25 million?

Answers

Two Answers: p = 1.5 or p = 1

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

Explanation:

x = number of products, in millions, sold

p = price per product

R = revenue

R = (number of products sold)*(price per product)

R = x*p

R = x(2-x)

R = 2x-x^2

C = costs

C = 0.25 + 0.5x

F = profit

F = revenue - costs

F = R - C

F = (2x - x^2) - (0.25 + 0.5x)

F = -x^2 + 1.5x - 0.25

We want a profit of 0.25 million, so plug in F = 0.25 and solve for x

F = -x^2 + 1.5x - 0.25

0.25 = -x^2 + 1.5x - 0.25

0 = -x^2 + 1.5x - 0.25 - 0.25

-x^2 + 1.5x - 0.5 = 0

Use the quadratic formula to find the two solutions to be x = 0.5 and x = 1

If x = 0.5, then p = 2-x = 2-0.5 = 1.5

If x = 1, then p = 2-1 = 1

There are two price points  (p = 1.5 and p = 1) that lead to the same profit F = 0.25

Glass A measures 84 mm in diameter and 175 mm tall. Glass B measures 96 mm in diameter and 125 mm tall. Which glass holds more liquid? How much more?

Answers

Answer:

Glass A

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume = п r ² h

п = 3.14  aprox.

r = radius = diameter/2

h = tall

glass A

volume = 3.14 * (84/2)² * 175

volume = 3.14 * 42² * 175

volume = 3.14 * 1764 * 175

volume = 969318mm³

glass B

volume = 3.14 * (96/2)² * 125

volume = 3.14* 48² * 125

volume = 3.14 * 2304 * 125

volume = 904320mm³

Answer:

Trains A and B, 200 km apart on the same straight track, travel at speeds of 50 km/hr and 65 km/hr respectively. At the end of 1 hour, the distance between the trains could not

Answers

Answer:

Ok, at the beginning the distance between the trains is 200km:

IPa(0s) - P(0s)I = 200km.

where Pa is the position of train A, and Pb is the position of train B.

Now, the speed of train A is:

Sa = 50km/h

Sb = 65km/h

Now, remember the relation:

Distance = Speed*time.

So, in one hour, the displacement of train A is:

Distance = 50km/h*1h = 50km

The displacement of train B is:

distance  = 65km/h*1h = 65km.

Now, if at the beginning train A is 200km ahead of train B, then we have:

Pa - Pb = (Pa(0s) + 50km) - (Pb(0s) + 65km)

= (Pa(0s)  - Pb(0s)) + (50km - 65km) = 200km - 15km = 185km.

Now, if train B was 200km ahead of train A, we have:

Pb - Pa = (Pb(0s) + 65km) - (Pa(0s) - 50km) =

(Pb(0s) - Pa(0s)) + (65km - 50km) = 200km + 15km = 215km

Tres amigos quieren abrir una empresa dedicada al reciclaje de plasticos. Para eso deben contar con $72.000. Uno de los amigos aporto 1/3 de dinero necesario para abrirla, el segundo aporto una cantidad equivalente a los 5/6 del resto.¿cuanto dinero aporto el tercer amigo?¿Cual de los tres hizo el mayor aporte?¿cuanto mas puso en relación con que el que aporto menos?

Answers

Answer:

a) ¿cuanto dinero aporto el tercer amigo?

= $ 8,000

b) ¿Cual de los tres hizo el mayor aporte?

El segundo amigo hizo la mayor contribución.

c)¿cuanto mas puso en relación con que el que aporto menos?

El tercer amigo hizo la menor contribución

Step-by-step explanation:

De la pregunta, se nos dice:

Dinero total requerido: $ 72,000

El primer amigo contribuyó: 1/3 si el dinero era necesario

Por lo tanto, el primer amigo contribuyó:

1/3 × $ 72 000 = $ 24 000

El segundo amigo contribuyó con 5/6 del resto

La fracción que representa el resto = 1 - 1/3 = 2/3

Por lo tanto, el segundo amigo contribuyó = 5/6 de 2/3 = 5/6 × 2/3 = 5/9

La fracción de la cantidad de dinero que contribuyó el segundo amigo = 5/9

Por lo tanto, la cantidad que contribuyó el segundo amigo =

5/9 × $ 72 000 = $ 40 000.

a) ¿cuanto dinero aporto el tercer amigo?

Esto se calcula como:

$ 72,000 - ($ 24,000 + $ 40,000)

$ 72 000 - $ 64 000

= $ 8,000

Por lo tanto, el tercer amigo aportó $ 8,000.

b) ¿Cual de los tres hizo el mayor aporte?

Del cálculo anterior:

El primer amigo = $ 24,000

Segundo amigo = $ 40,000

Tercer amigo = $ 8,000

Por tanto, el segundo amigo hizo la mayor contribución.

c) ¿cuanto mas puso en relación con que el que aporto menos?

Del cálculo anterior:

El primer amigo = $ 24,000

Segundo amigo = $ 40,000

Tercer amigo = $ 8,000

Por lo tanto, el tercer amigo hizo la menor contribución.

can someone help me with this graphical method equation 3x + 5y = -2 7x - 8y = 15

Answers

X=1 and y=-1

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

x = 1

y = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 5y = -2

7x - 8y = 15

=> -8y = 15 - 7x

=> -y = 15/8 - 7/8x

=> y = -15/8 + 7/8x

3x + 5(-15/8 + 7/8x) = -2

=> 3x -75/8 + 35/8x = -2

=> 24/8x - 75/8 + 35/8x = -16/8

=> 59/8x - 75/8 = -16/8

=> 59/8x = 59/8

=> x = 59/8 x 8/59

=> x = 472/472

=> x = 1

x = 1

So, 3x + 5y = -2

=> 3 (1) + 5y = -2

=> 3 + 5y = -2

=> 5y = -5

=> y = -5/5

=> y = -1

So, x = 1

=>  y = -1

What were Malcolm's and Ravi's maximum speeds?

Answers

Answer:

Malcom's maximum speed = 200 km/h

Ravi's maximum speed = 320 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the maximum speed of Malcolm and Ravi with equation as follows:

Let Malcom's speed be x, and Ravi's speed by y.

The average of speed is said to be 260 km/h. An equation to represent this is: [tex] \frac{x + y}{2} = 260 [/tex]

[tex] x + y = 260*2 [/tex]

[tex] x + y = 520 [/tex] => equation 1.

We are also told that when Malcom's speed (x) is doubled it equal 80 km/hr more than Ravi's speed (y). An equation can be created for this, which is [tex] 2x = y + 80 [/tex]

[tex] 2x - y = 80 [/tex] => equation 2

Now that we have 2 equations as a system, solve for the values of x and y simultaneously.

Add both equations together to eliminate y

[tex] x + y = 520 [/tex]

[tex] 2x - y = 80 [/tex]

[tex] 3x = 600 [/tex]

[tex] x = \frac{600}{3} [/tex]

[tex] x = 200 [/tex]

Plug in the value of x into equation 1 to find y.

[tex] 200 + y = 520 [/tex]

[tex] y = 520 - 200 [/tex]

[tex] y = 320 [/tex]

Malcom's maximum speed = x = 200 km/h

Ravi's maximum speed = y = 320 km/h

2 × [tex]\frac{22}{7}[/tex] × 14 × [tex]\frac{x}{360}[/tex] = 6.6

88 ×[tex]\frac{x}{360}[/tex] = 6.6 ( multiply both sides by 360 )

x = 27

Thus central angle is 27°

Therefore, the point (-2, 4) is not a solution of the linear equation, 5·y =  3·x + 18

The marked price of a mobile is 25% above its cost price, When it is sold at a gain of
10%, the profit amounts to Rs 725. Find the marked price of the mobile.

Answers

Answer:

The marked price is Rs 823.86

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost price be Rs x. The marked price of the mobile is 25% above its cost price. Therefore:

The marked price = x + 25%(x) = 1 + 0.25x = 1.25x

When the mobile phone is sold at a gain of 10%. the profit is Rs 725, to find the cost price we use:

x + 10%(x) = 725

x + 0.1(x) = 725

1.1x = 725

x = 725/1.1 = 659.09

The cost price is Rs 659.09. Therefore the marked price is given as:

Marked price  = 1.25x = 1.25(659.09) = 823.86

The marked price is Rs 823.86

[tex]7x = 80 + 9x[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

[tex]x=-40[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to find the value of x. To do this, you need to isolate the variable:

[tex]7x=80+9x[/tex]

Move the 80 to the left side of the equation using the reverse operation of '+', which is subtraction:

[tex]7x-80=80-80+9x\\\\7x-80=9x[/tex]

Now move the coefficient, 7x, to the right side of the equation using the reverse operation of addition (because it's a positive number), which is subtraction:

[tex]7x-7x-80=9x-7x\\\\-80=2x[/tex]

Now isolate the variable using reverse operations. The coefficient can also be seen as [tex]2*x[/tex] , so the opposite of multiplication is division. Divide by 2, remembering to do the same on both sides of the equation to keep it stable:

[tex]-\frac{80}{2}=\frac{2x}{2}\\\\ -40=x[/tex]

Which king of England led the charge to make American colonists pay much higher taxes? The graph shows a point of equilibrium.A graph titled Daily Market for Graphic Tees at the Clothing Shop has Quantity supplied on the x-axis, from 0 to 50 in increments of 10, and price in dollars on the y-axis, from 0 to 18 in increments of 2. A line that represents supply has a positive slope and a line that represents demand has a negative slope. The lines intersect at point (30, 9).What is the price at which equilibrium is achieved? Based on all student records at Camford University, students spend an average of 5.30 hours per week playing organized sports. The populations standard deviation is 3.20 hours per week.

Plzzzz help!!!! What is the role of a cytoskeleton? What do we use mathematical induction for? A prisoner is trapped in a cell containing 3 doors. The first door leads to a tunnelthat returns him to his cell after 2 days travel. The second leads to a tunnel thatreturns him to his cell after 4 days travel. The third door leads to freedom after 1day of travel. If it is assumed that the prisoner will always select doors 1,2,and 3with respective probabilities 0.5,0.3, and 0.2, what is the expected number of daysuntil the prisoner reaches freedom?
