A contractor needs to buy nails to build a house. The nails come in small boxes and large boxes. Each small box has 150 nails and each large box has 450 nails. The contractor bought twice as many large boxes as small boxes, which altogether had 4200 nails. Write a system of equations that could be used to determine the number of small boxes purchased and the number of large boxes purchased. Define the variables that you use to write the system.

Answers

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s represent the number of small boxes and l represent the number of large boxes.

We have 2s = l and 150s + 450l = 4200.

Therefore 150s + 450(2s) = 4200,

150s + 900s = 4200, 1050s = 4200, s = 4.

l = 2s = 2(4) = 8.

Hence there are 4 small boxes and 8 large boxes.

An aquarium has a base in the shape of a trapezoid. The base is 80 cm long at the front, 50 cm long at the back, and 30 cm wide (from front to back). The height is 100 cm. What is the volume of the aquarium in litres?

Answers

Answer:

The volume of the aquarium is 195 litres.

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume ([tex]V[/tex]), measured in cubic centimetres, of the aquarium is equal to the area of the base multiplied by the height. That is:

[tex]V = \frac{1}{2}\cdot (L+l)\cdot w\cdot h[/tex] (1)

Where:

[tex]L[/tex] - Long leg length of the aquarium, measured in centimetres.

[tex]l[/tex] - Short leg length of the aquarium, measured in centimetres.

[tex]w[/tex] - Width of the aquarium, measured in centimetres.

[tex]h[/tex] - Height of the aquarium, measured in centimetres.

If we know that [tex]L = 80\,cm[/tex], [tex]l = 50\,cm[/tex], [tex]w = 30\,cm[/tex] and [tex]h = 100\,cm[/tex], then the volume of the aquarium is:

[tex]V = \frac{1}{2}\cdot (80\,cm+50\,cm)\cdot (30\,cm)\cdot (100\,cm)[/tex]

[tex]V = 195000\,cm^{3}[/tex]

If we know that a litre equals 195000 cubic centimetres, then the volume of the aquarium is:

[tex]V = 195000\,cm^{3}\times \frac{1\,L}{1000\,cm^{3}}[/tex]

[tex]V = 195\,L[/tex]

The volume of the aquarium is 195 litres.

A hiker walks at a speed of 3 2/5 km per hour. How many km will the hiker walk in 40 min?

Answers

Answer:

2 4/15 km

Step-by-step explanation:

We know from the above question that:

A hiker walks at a speed of 3 2/5 km per hour.

Step 1

Convert 40 minutes to hour

60 minutes = 1 hour

40 minutes = x

Cross Multiply

60x = 40

x = 40/60

x = 2/3hr

Step 2

How many km will the hiker walk in 40 min?

The above question can be calculated as:

1 hour = 3 2/5km

2/3 hour = x km

Cross Multiply

1 × x km = 2/3 × 3 2/5 km

x km = 2/3 × 17/5 km

x km = 34/15 km

x km = 2 4/15 km

Hence the hiker would walk 2 4/15 km in 4 minutes

Which of the sets of ordered pairs represents a function? (5 points) A = {(1, −5), (8, −5), (8, 7), (2, 9)} B = {(7, −4), (7, −2), (6, −3), (−9, 5)} Only A Only B Both A and B Neither A nor B

Answers

Answer:

We conclude that Neither A nor B represents the function.

Hence, the correct option is:

Neither A nor B

Step-by-step explanation:

A function relates an input to an output.

For example, a certain animal grows 30 cm each year. Thus, the height of the animal is associated with its age using the function

h (age) = age × 30

Therefore, if the age of the animal is 3 years, the height is:

h(3) = 3 × 10 = 90 cm

Set A

A = {(1, −5), (8, −5), (8, 7), (2, 9)}

Please check that there are duplicated inputs.

i.e. x = 8 is appeared twice.

Thus, set A does not represent the function because the function has repeated inputs or x-values. In other words, each input is not related to exactly one output.

Therefore, the set A of ordered pairs does not represent a function.

Set B

B = {(7, −4), (7, −2), (6, −3), (−9, 5)}

Please check that there are duplicated inputs.

i.e. x = 7 is appeared twice.

Thus, the set B does not represent the function because the function has repeated inputs or x-values. In other words, each input is not related to exactly one output.

Therefore, the set B of ordered pairs also does not represent a function.

Conclusion:

We conclude that Neither A nor B represents the function.

Hence, the correct option is:

Neither A nor B

The function c(x) = 18x -10 represents the cost in dollars. How many tickets can you buy?

Answers

Note: It seems you may have unintentionally missed writing the complete question. As total cost is missing.

So, I am assuming how many tickets Mr. XYZ can buy if he/she pays 530 dollars.

The solution would still clear your concept though.

Answer:

Please check the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function

c(x) = 18x -10

The slope-intercept form of the line equation

We know that the slope-intercept form of the line equation

[tex]y = mx+b[/tex]

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

so

 c(x) = 18x - 10

comparing with the slope-intercept form of the line equation

rate of change = 18c(x) or y represents the cost'x' represents the number of tickets

Assuming the total cost i.e. c(x) = $530

In order to determine the value of x, set c(x) = 530

i.e.

530 = 18x -10

switch sides

18x - 10 = 530

add 10 to both sides

18x - 10 + 10 = 530 + 10

18x = 540

Divide 18 to both sides

18x/18 = 540/18

x = 30

Therefore, if you can buy x = 30 tickets if you pay 530 dollars.

Answers

Answer:

Options A, C and D

Step-by-step explanation:

Option A

Angle p = 180° - 89.5° = 90.5° [Linear pair of angles]

If b║f and line a is a transversal line,

m∠p = 90.5° [Alternate exterior angles]

True

Option B

If B║D and line a is a transversal,

m∠q = 89.5° [vertically opposite angles]

∠q + 89.5° = 89.5° + 89.5° = 179°

But angles q and angle with measure 89.5° are the consecutive interior angles and their sum should be 180°.

So the given statement is False.

Option C

c║e

Since, m∠r = 91.5° [Vertically opposite angle]

And m∠r + 89.5° = 180° [Consecutive interior angles]

True.

Option D

c║d

Since, ∠r and ∠q are consecutive interior angles,

m∠r + m∠q = 180°

91.5° + 89.5° = 180°

True

Option E.

d║f

m∠s = 90.5°[Vertically opposite angles]

Since, ∠s and angle with measure 89.5° are the alternate interior angles,

So measure of angle s should be 89.5°.

Therefore, d║f is False.

Option F.

If e║f, angles with measures 89.5° and 90.5° should be equal.

But measures of both are different.

Therefore, e║f is False.

Options A, C and D are the correct options.
