C. 16 pens, 28 pencils

What are ratio and proportion?

A ratio is a comparison between two similar quantities in simplest form.

Proportions are of two types one is the direct proportion in which if one quantity is increased by a constant k the other quantity will also be increased by the same constant k and vice versa.

In the case of inverse proportion if one quantity is increased by a constant k the quantity will decrease by the same constant k and vice versa.

Given, The ratio of pencils to pens in the drawer is 8 : 14, so for every 14 pencils, there are 8 pens.

Given, there are actually twice as many pencils as in the ratio.

Therefore actual no. of pencils are (2×14) = 28 pencils.

When a function goes through the origin how can I find the slope

Answers

Answer:

m= y/x

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation to find the slope (m) is to determine 2 points then divide the difference of y-coordinates with the x-coordinates.

The equation will look like this:

m= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)  

When a function goes through the origin(0, 0), that means the line doesn't have c variable, the equation of the line will be as simple as y=mx

Then the equation to find the slope(m) will be:

y=mx

m=y/x

You can directly divide y-coordinate with x-coordinate to find the slope.

These two figures are the image and pre-image of a
dilation
Find the lengths of the missing sides.
4 in.
5 in.

Answers

Answer:

x = 2.5y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

As the two figure are the image and pre-image of a dilation.

Considering the left sided triangle is original and right sided triangle ( smaller one) is the image.

As one of the sides of the left triangle (original figure) is 4 in. And the corresponding length of the side on the right triangle (image of the figure) is 2 in.

It means the image of the side (2 in) is obtained when the side (4 in) of the original object is dilated by a scale factor of 1/2. In other words, the side of the image (2 in) is obtained multiplying the side (4 in) of original figure by 1/2. i.e. 4/2 = 2 in

Lets determine the missing side of the right side triangle by the same rule.

As the original object has one of the sides is 5 in and the corresponding side of the image has x in. As the original figure is dilated by a scale factor of 1/2. so the missing side of x will be: x = 5/2 = 2.5

So, the value of x will be 2.5

Similarly, the original object has one of the sides with length (y + 1 in). As the As the original figure is dilated by a scale factor of 1/2. As the corresponding length of the side of the image triangle is 3 in.

so

y + 1 = 2(3)         ∵ 3 in (image side) is multiplied by 2

y + 1 = 6

y = 6 - 1

y = 5

So, the value of y = 5

Therefore,

x = 2.5y = 5

25 points plz help!!! Calculate the equation of the line through the points (-1, 1), (4, 0), and (24, -4)

Answers

So if the line is linear we can use slope intercept form to find the equation of the points: y=mx+b

To calculate m, the slope we subtract two of the points (I’ll use the first two):

(-1, 1)
(4, 0)

This equals 0-1/4+1, which simplifies to -1/5

So the slope is -1/5 and we can put that into slope intercept form along with a point to get b, the y-intercept.

So, y=-1/5x+b

Now we substitute x and y with a point.

1=-1/5(-1)+b
1=1/5+b
b=4/5

So the equation is:
y=-1/5x+4/5

I hope this helps!

The equation of the line is y=-1/5x+4/5.

Calculating m, the slope we subtract two of the points,

(-1, 1)

(4, 0)

This equals 0-1/4+1, which simplifies to -1/5

The slope is -1/5 and we can put that into the slope-intercept form along with a point to get b, the y-intercept.

So, y=-1/5x+b

Substituting x and y with a point.

1=-1/5(-1)+b

1=1/5+b

b=4/5

So, the equation is y=-1/5x+4/5.

If the measure of one exterior angle of a regular polygon is 40 degrees, how many sides does the polygon have?

Answers

Answer:

The polygon has 9 sides

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A regular polygon has equal length sides and equal interior angles

step 1

Find the measure of the interior angle

Remember that

The interior angle plus the exterior angle must be equal to 180 degrees (form a linear pair)

Let

x ----> the measure of each interior angle in the regular polygon

so

[tex]x+40^o=180^o[/tex]

solve for x

[tex]x=180^o-40^o=140^o[/tex]

step 2

Find the number of sides of the regular polygon

we know that

The measure of each interior angle in a regular polygon is given by the formula

[tex]x=\frac{(n-2)180^o}{n}[/tex]

where

n is the number of sides of the polygon

substitute the given values

[tex]140^o=\frac{(n-2)180^o}{n}[/tex]

solve for n

[tex]140n=180n-360\\180n-140n=360\\40n=360\\n=9\ sides[/tex]

therefore

Answers

The measure of angle b is 25°.

Solution:

Given data:

The "L" shape angle is a right angle.

Right angle is splitted by another line and two angles are formed.

One angle is 65° and the other angle is b.

Let us find the other angle b.

65° + m∠b = 90°

Subtract 65° from both sides of the equation.

m∠b = 90° – 65°

m∠b = 25°

Hence the measure of angle b is 25°.

joyce has between 25 to 75 coloured beads. when she makes them into groups of 9, 8 beads are left out. when she groups into groups of 8, 6 beads are left out,how many beads are left

Answers

Answer:

Joyce has total 62 colored beads.

Step-by-step explanation:

For making groups of 9, let the number of beads be x.

total beads = 9x + 8

For making groups of 8, let the number of beads be y.

total beads = 8y + 6

As the total number of beads in both cases are same so,

   9x + 8= 8y + 6

or, 9x-8y = -2

Now lets check the values through hit and trial;

First check; x=6, y=7

   9*6 - 8*7 = -2

or, 54- 56 = -2

or, -2 =-2

This satisfies our equation.

Hence; Total beads = 9*6 + 8 = 62

The total number of beads joyce had is 62.

Number of beads she have is 62 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have , joyce has between 25 to 75 colored beads. when she makes them into groups of 9, 8 beads are left out. when she groups into groups of 8, We need to find how many beads are left . Let's solve this:

when she makes them into groups of 9, 8 beads are left out equation is

[tex]9x+8[/tex]

when she groups into groups of 8 , 6 beads are left out, equation is

[tex]8y+6[/tex]

Equating both equation's we get:

⇒ [tex]9x+8 = 8y+6[/tex]

⇒ [tex]9x-8y = -2[/tex]

By hit & trial method , we put x = 6 & y=7:

⇒ [tex]9(6)-8(7) = -2[/tex]

⇒ [tex]54-56= -2[/tex]

⇒ [tex]-2= -2[/tex]

Since , LHS = RHS x = 6 & y=7 satisfies the equation [tex]9x+8 = 8y+6[/tex] . So putting value of x=6 in [tex]9x+8[/tex] we get:

⇒ [tex]9x+8[/tex]

⇒ [tex]54+8[/tex]

⇒ [tex]62[/tex]

Therefore, Number of beads she have is 62 .
