For a summer job, Lucy is in charge of chickens and sheep. There are 16 animals total. The number of chickens, y, is 4 less than the number of sheep, x. Which ordered pair (x, y) represents the number of chickens and sheep?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

(10,6)

There are 10 sheep and 6 chickens.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let y represent the number of chickens.

Let x represent the number of sheep.

1) Form a system of equations

"There are 16 animals in total"

⇒ [tex]x+y=16[/tex]

"The number of chickens is 4 less than the number of sheep"

⇒ [tex]y=x-4[/tex]

2) Substitute equation 2 into equation 1

[tex]x+(x-4)=16[/tex]

Solve for x

[tex]x+x-4=16\\2x-4=16\\2x=16+4\\2x=20\\x=10[/tex]

Therefore, there are 10 sheep.

3) Solve for y

[tex]x+y=16\\10+y=16\\y=16-10\\y=6[/tex]

Therefore, there are 6 chickens.

The ordered pair (10,6) represents the number of chickens and sheep.

I hope this helps!

Answer:

Amber has a total of $1225.54 after 10 years. Jin has a total of $1225.35 after 10 years. So, Amber earns $0.19 more

Step-by-step explanation:

A: Amber

First, convert 8 percent to r as a decimal

r = R/100

r = 8/100

r = 0.08 rate per year

P = Principal

e = 2.71828(mathematical constant)

t = time  

Then solve the equation for A

A = P*e^(r*t)

A = 1,000.00(2.71828)^(0.08)(10)

A = $2,225.54  

The total amount accrued, principal plus interest, with compound interest on a principal of $1,000.00 at a rate of 8% per year compounded continuously over 10 years for Amber is $2,225.54.

J: Jin

First, convert 8 as a percent to r as a decimal

r = R/100

r = 8/100

r = 0.08 rate per year

n = 365 days

Then solve the equation for A

A = P(1 + r/n)^n*t

A = 1,000.00(1 + 0.08/365)(365)(10)

A = 1,000.00(1 + 0.000219178)(3650)

A = $2,225.35

Summary:

The total amount accrued, principal plus interest, with compound interest on a principal of $1,000.00 at a rate of 8% per year compounded 365 times per year over 10 years for Jin is $2,225.35.

$2,225.54-1000=A($1225.54)

$2,225.35-1000=J($1225.35)

The sine of an angle is defined as the ratio of the opposite side to the hypotenuse.

The cosine of an angle is defined as the ratio of the adjacent side to the hypotenuse.

The tangent of an angle is defined as the ratio of the opposite side to the adjacent side.

See the image for Sin J, K & cos j & K & tan J & K

Answer: Refer to the diagram below for the answers

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

Explanation:

The rules I'm using are

sin(angle) = opposite/hypotenusecos(angle) = adjacent/hypotenusetan(angle) = opposite/adjacent

The opposite side is the leg furthest from the reference angle. For example, if J is the reference angle, then leg LK is the opposite side. The adjacent side would be JL for reference angle J. The opposite and adjacent swap when you swap the reference angle.

The hypotenuse is always the longest side and always opposite the largest angle (always opposite the 90 degree angle).

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

An example calculation would be:

sin(angle) = opposite/hypotenuse

sin(J) = LK/JL

sin(J) = 30/34

sin(J) = 0.8824

I'm referring to the triangle with sides 16,30,34. The other trig ratios are handled in pretty much the same way (use the rules mentioned above).

Answers

Answer:

m ∠S = 43°

Step-by-step explanation:

Exterior angle = Sum of opposite interior angles

(6x)° = 77° + (2x + 3)°

6x = 77 + 2x + 3

6x - 2x = 77 + 3

4x = 80

x = 20

m ∠S = (2x + 3)° = 2(20) + 3 = 40 + 3 = 43°

Answer:

∠ S = 43°

Step-by-step explanation:

The exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the 2 opposite interior angles.

∠ PQR is an exterior angle of the triangle, then

6x = 77 + 2x + 3 ( subtract 2x from both sides )

4x = 80 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = 20

Then

∠ S = 2x + 3 = 2(20) + 3 = 40 + 3 = 43°

Amy has a rectangular garden that is 23 feet wide. If the length of the garden is 12 feet, what is the length of its diagonal, in feet? Round to the nearest tenth​

Answers

Answer:

25.9 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

If you split a rectangle into 2 pieces with a diagonal, each piece will be a right triangle

Therefore we can use the pythagorean theorem to solve this problem

The two legs of the right triangle will be 23 and 12

The formula is a^2 +b^2=c^2

c^2 is the diagonal squared ( the hypotenuse)

So:

12^2+23^2=c^2

144+529=c^2

673=c^2

To find just c we need to find the square root of 673, rounded to the nearest tenth

[tex]\sqrt{673}=25.9[/tex]

(the equation is rounded)

So the diagonal is 25.9

Anne is painting her house light blue. To make the color she wants, she must add 3 cans of white paint to every 2 cans of blue paint. How many cans of white paint will she need to mix with 6 cans of blue?

Answers

Answer:

9 cans of white paint

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this you can set up a ratio.

The ratio right now is 3 : 2, you have 3 cans of white paint for every 2 cans of blue paint. This question is asking how many white paint cans would be needed for 6 cans of blue paint. You can see the relationship between the number of blue paint cans and the new number of blue paint cans, maybe it's multiplying by 4 or 2 for example, and once we find that out we can do the same exact thing to the white cans.

[tex]\frac{3}{2} = \frac{?}{6}[/tex]

We can see that to get from 2 to 6 you multiply by 3, so now we do that to the other side of the fraction as well, we multiply by 3. 3 multiplied by 3 is 9, so if we were to have 6 cans of blue paint we would need 9 cans of white paint to get that perfect shade of light blue. Anne would need 9 cans of white paint if she had 6 cans of blue paint to make her shade of blue.

This equation shows how the total number of pieces Lamar has learned depends on the number of weeks he has taken piano lessons. P = w The variable w represents the number of weeks he has taken piano lessons, and the variable p represents the total number of pieces he has learned. In all, how many weeks of piano lessons will Lamar need before he will be able to play a total of 19 pieces?

Answers

Answer:

19 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation:

P = w

Where,

w = the number of weeks he has taken piano lessons

p = the total number of pieces he has learned

how many weeks of piano lessons will Lamar need before he will be able to play a total of 19 pieces?

Find w when p = 19

P = w

p = 19

Since P = w

19 = w

Therefore,

w = 19

Lamar need 19 weeks before he will be able to play a total of 19 pieces

Question 9 You are rushing out to get to your appointment in 30 minutes. From experience you know that most of the time you travel this distance in 30 minutes. However, half of the time there is heavy traffic. In the past, there has been heavy traffic and you have made it to your appointment within 30 minutes 34% of the time. You get out on the street and see that there is heavy traffic. What is the chance you will get to your appointment on time

Answers

Answer:

0.68

Step-by-step explanation:

According To the Question,

Let, H ⇒ "heavy traffic" & T ⇒  "get there on time".

Then, "half of the time there is heavy traffic" ⇔ P(H)=0.5.

Given, In the past, there has been heavy traffic and you have made it to your appointment within 30 minutes 34% of the time. This has to be taken to mean P(H and T) = 0.34.

Now, you are given that there is heavy traffic, so We need to find P(T I H).

 P(T l H) = P(H and T) / P(T)

P(T l H) = 0.34/0.5 ⇒ 0.68
