A gardener is planting two types of trees:

Type A is 2 feet tall and grows at a rate of 25 inches per year.

Type B is 10 feet tall and grows at a rate of 9 inches per year.

Algebraically determine exactly how many years it will take for these trees to be the same height.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

It will take 1/2 of a year or 6 months for these trees to be the same height.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

Type A is 2 feet tall and grows at a rate of 25 inches per year.

Type B is 10 feet tall and grows at a rate of 9 inches per year.

2. Algebraically determine exactly how many years it will take for these trees to be the same height.

x = Number of years

Type A = 2 + 25x

Type B = 10 + 9x

Let's solve for x, using the following equation:

Type A =  Type B

2 + 25x = 10 + 9x

25x - 9x = 10 - 2

16x = 8

x = 8/16 = 1/2

It will take 1/2 of a year or 6 months for these trees to be the same height.

Let's prove it, this way:

2 + 25x = 10 + 9x

2 + 25 (1/2) = 10 + 9 (1/2)

2 + 25/2 = 10 + 9/2

29/2 = 29/2

14.5 = 14.5

Mariela bought 15 pounds of birdseed for $10.00. Mark bought 12 pounds of birdseed for $8.00. Daryl bought 18 pounds of birdseed for $12.00. If the cost per pound remains the same, what should be the cost of one pound of birdseed?

Answers

Answer:

The cost for one pound of birdseed is $0.67

Step-by-step explanation:

Use Mariela's example first

To find the cost per pound, get the pounds to 1.

15 pounds = $10.00       Divide both sides by 15 to get 1 pound

1 pound = $0.67  

Use Mark's example to see if it is the same rate

12 pounds = $8.00   Divide both sides by 12 pounds to get one pound

1 pound = $0.67

Use Daryl's example to prove the other answers

18 pounds = $12.00    Divide both sides by 8 pounds to get one pound

1 pound = $0.67

The answer is o.68 not 0.67

Sabra joins a cooking club for $8.50 and pays $6.25 each month. She also joins a movie club for $12 and pays $3.75 each month. Write an expression that represents the total amount of money Sabra spends on both clubs after m months. Then enter the simplified expression in the boxes.
+
m

Answers

Simplified expression for total amount spent is 10(2.05 + m)

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write expression for expense on joining cooking club for m months.

Expense = 8.50 + 6.25 × m

Step 2: Write expression for expense on joining movie club for m months.

Expense = 12 + 3.75 × m

Step 3: Calculate the total amount spent on both clubs

Total Amount = 8.50 + 6.25m + 12 + 3.75m = 20.5 + 10m = 10(2.05 + m)

Sabra spends a total amount represented by the simplified expression 20.50 + 10m after m months on both the cooking and movie clubs.

To find the total amount of money Sabra spends on both clubs after m months, we need to consider the costs of joining each club and the ongoing monthly fees.

Sabra's cooking club costs $8.50 to join and $6.25 per month. This can be represented by the expression:

8.50 + 6.25m

Sabra's movie club costs $12 to join and $3.75 per month. This can be represented by the expression:

12 + 3.75m

To find the total amount spent on both clubs, we sum these expressions:

(8.50 + 6.25m) + (12 + 3.75m)Simplifying this expression, we get:20.50 + 10m

So, the total amount of money Sabra spends on both clubs after m months can be expressed as 20.50 + 10m

The area of a right triangle is 315 square meters. The height of the right triangle is 15 meters. What is the length of the hypotenuse of the right triangle rounded to the nearest meter? No points given without showing your work.

Answers

Answer:

45 metres

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to get the base to answer the question.

Do this by dividing 315 by 15 then timesing by 2

You get 42.

Do 42^2 = 1764

Do 15 ^2 = 225

Because you want the hypotenuse you add them

1764 + 225 =1989

Do the square root of 1989 which is 45 to the nearest metre

Answer:

25.80

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = 315 [tex]m^{2}[/tex]

Area = l*b

315 = 15 *b

b= 315/15

b = 21

From Right angled Triangle ,

Hypotenuse square = side square + side square

[tex]x^{2}[/tex] = [tex]21^{2}[/tex] + [tex]15^{2}[/tex]

[tex]x^{2}[/tex] = 441 + 225

[tex]x^{2}[/tex] = 666

apply sq root on both sides, the we get

[tex]\sqrt{x^{2}} = \sqrt{666}[/tex]

x= 25.80

Each of the four sides of a swimming pool measures 12 meters the pool is 6 meters deep how much water will be needed to fill it completely

Answers

It will need 864 meters³ of water to fill it completely

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of the volume of a prism is V = B h, where

B is the area of its baseh is the length of its height

The swimming pool is shaped a prism

∵ The length of each side of the four sides is 12 meters

- That means its base is shaped a square with side length 12 meters

∵ Area of a square = (side)²

∴ The area of the base of the swimming pool = (12)² = 144 meters²

∴ B = 144

∵ The pool is 6 meters deep

- That means its height is 6 meters

∴ h = 6

The volume of the water in the swimming pool is equal to the volume of the swimming pool because it will be needed to fill completely

∴ The volume of the water = B h

∴ The volume of the water = 144(6)

∴ The volume of the water = 864 meters³

It will need 864 meters³ of water to fill it completely

Albert rode to the park at 12 mph and then back home at 20 mph. If the round trip took 4 hours and it is 30 miles each way, how long did the ride to the park take?

Answers

Answer:

It took Albert 2 1/2 hours to ride to the park

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

Speed of Albert to the park = 12 mph

Speed of Albert back home = 20 mph

Total time of the round trip = 4 hours

Distance each way = 30 miles

2. How long did the ride to the park take?

Let's recall that the formula of speed is:

Speed = Distance/Time, therefore Time = Distance/Speed

Time it took Albert to ride to the park = 30/12

Time it took Albert to ride to the park = 5/2 = 2 1/2 hours

Time it took Albert to ride back home = 30/20

Time it took Albert to ride back home = 3/2 = 1 1/2 hours

It took Albert 2 1/2 hours to ride to the park

The stock of Company A gained 4% today to $47.84. What was the opening price of the stock in the beginning of the day?

Answers

Answer:

46

Step-by-step explanation:

47.84 / 1.04, which is 46

The opening price of Company A's stock before the 4% increase to the closing price of $47.84 was $46.00.

To calculate the opening price of Company A's stock at the beginning of the day, before the 4% gain, we need to work backwards from the closing price. Since the stock closed at $47.84 after gaining 4%, we can represent the closing price as 104% of the opening price. Thus, the equation to find the opening price (OP) is:

OP x1.04 = $47.84

Now we solve for OP:

OP = $47.84 / 1.04

OP = $46.00

The opening price of Company A's stock at the beginning of the day was $46.00.

Mofor’s school is selling tickets to the annual talent show. On the first day of ticket sales the school sold 4 senior citizen tickets and 6 student tickets for a total of $96. The school took in $202 on the second day by selling 8 senior citizen tickets and 13 student tickets. Find the price of a senior citizen ticket and the price of a student ticket.

Answers

Answer:

Senior citizen tickets = 9

Student tickets = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

We begin by converting the question into simultaneous linear equations;

Senior citizen tickets = a

Student tickets = b

4a + 6b = 96

8a + 13b = 202

to find a,

if 4a +6b = 96

a = 96/4 - 6b/4

a = 24 - 1.5b

We now substitute this into the second equation

8(24 - 1.5b) + 13b = 202

192 - 12b + 13b = 202

b = 202 - 192

b = 10

We now put the value of b in either equation

4a + 6b = 96

4a + 6(10) = 96

4a + 60 = 96

4a = 96 - 60

4a = 36

a = 9

Is y=15/x a linear function

Answers

Answer:

NO

Step-by-step explanation:

Final answer:

The equation y = 15/x is not a linear function. A linear process follows the form y = a + bx and graph as a straight line. The given equation doesn't track that form or behavior; hence, it is not linear.

Explanation:

No, the equation y = 15/x is not a linear function. In Mathematics, a linear function is defined by the equation y = a + bx, where a is the y-intercept, b is the slope, x is the independent variable, and y is the dependent variable. In this equation, the relationship between x and y is direct, meaning if x increases or decreases, y will also increase or decrease at a constant rate.

However, in the equation y = 15/x, the relationship between x and y is inverse. If x increases, y decreases, and vice versa. Furthermore, the form of the equation doesn't follow the standard form of a linear equation (y = a + bx) because the x variable is in the denominator. Therefore, it is not linear because it will not graph as a straight line.
