Answer:

Store A is the better buy.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing I did was to find a multiple that 3 and 5 share which is 15. Now, we can figure out how much each store charges for 15 oz. I put the numbers into fraction form to make it easier. 5/1.50 and 3/1.20. To get 5 to 15, I multiplied it by 3, so I also have to do that to 1.50. This leaves me with 4.50. Store A charges 4.50 for 15 oz. Next, we have to go over to the other fraction. To get 3 to 15, I multiplied it by 5. Whatever you do to the numerator, you have to do to the denominator, so you multiply 1.20 by 5. This gets you 6. Store B charges 6 dollars for 15oz, so store A has a better price. I hope this helps.

Answer:

He used 55% protein 500 pounds and 25% protein 1000 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

x pounds of 55% contains x * 0.55 pounds of pure protein

y pounds of 25% contains x * 0.25 pounds of pure protein

1500 pounds of 35% contains 1500 * 0.35 = 525 pounds of pure protein

x + y = 1500  ... (1)

0.55 x + 0.25 y = 525   ...(2)

0.25 times both sides of (1)    

0.25 x + 0.25 y = 1500 * 0.25 = 375   ... (3)

(2) - (3)  0.3 x = 150  ....  divide 0.3 on both sides

x = 500

y = 1500 - 500 = 1000

Answer:

75 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

Crossmultiply to find x (grams of cereal)

12/100 = 9/x

x(12) = (100)(9)

x12 = 900

x = 75

The 75 grams of tasty oats cereal will give you 9 grams of protein.

Multiplication is the mathematical operation that is used to determine the product of two or more numbers. If an event can occur in m different ways and if following it, a second event can occur in n different ways, then the two events in succession can occur in m × n different ways.

We are given that there are 12 grams of protein in 100 grams of cereal .

Let x be the grams of cereal.

Therefore, 12/100 = 9/x

Now Crossmultiply to find x (grams of cereal);

x(12) = (100)(9)

x12 = 900

x = 75

The 75 grams of tasty oats cereal will give you 9 grams of protein.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A:

The [tex]x[/tex]-coordinate of the intersection of the curves for the equations [tex]y=4^{-x}[/tex] and [tex]y=2^{x+3}[/tex] is the same as the solution to [tex]4^{-x}=2^{x+3}[/tex] because the equation [tex]4^{-x}=2^{x+3}[/tex] is the result of finding when (for what [tex]x[/tex]'s) the [tex]y[/tex]'s are the same for the the equations [tex]y=4^{-x}[/tex] and [tex]y=2^{x+3}[/tex].

Part B:

Table for [tex]y=4^{-x}[/tex]:

[tex]x[/tex]  |          [tex]y=4^{-x}[/tex]                     |  [tex](x,y=4^{-x})[/tex] |

0                 |          [tex]y=4^{-(0)}=4^{0}=1[/tex]     | [tex](0,1)[/tex]

1                  |          [tex]y=4^{-(1)}=4^{-1}=\frac{1}{4}[/tex] | [tex](1,\frac{1}{4})[/tex]

2                 |          [tex]y=4^{-(2)}=4^{-2}=\frac{1}{16}[/tex] | [tex](2,\frac{1}{16})[/tex]

3                 |          [tex]y=4^{-(3)}=4^{-3}=\frac{1}{64}[/tex] | [tex](3,\frac{1}{64})[/tex]

Table for [tex]y=2^{x+3}[/tex]:

[tex]x[/tex]  |        [tex]y=2^{x+3}[/tex]                   | [tex](x,y=2^{x+3})[/tex] |

You can see in the two tables the y-coordinates are the same value of [tex]4[/tex] when [tex]x=-1[/tex]. So basically the common point in both tables is [tex](-1,4)[/tex] so [tex](-1,4)[/tex] is a solution.

Part C:

I'm going to graph both [tex]y=4^{-x}[/tex] and [tex]y=2^{x+3}[/tex] on the same coordinate plane. I will then find where they will intersect.

I'm going to graph my points from the table to [tex]y=4^{-x}[/tex] and [tex]y=2^{x+3}[/tex].

This can be seen in my drawing.

I graphed [tex]y=4^{-x}[/tex] in blue.

I graphed [tex]y=2^{x+3}[/tex] in red.

Another way:

An algebraic approach:

[tex]4^{-x}=2^{x+3}[/tex]

[tex](2^2)^{-x}=2^{x+3}[/tex] (since [tex]4=2^2[/tex] and now the bases on both side are the same)

[tex]2^{-2x}=2^{x+3}[/tex]

[tex]-2x=x+3[/tex] (since [tex]2^{a}=2^{b}[/tex] then [tex]a=b[/tex])

[tex]-3x=3[/tex] (subtracted [tex]x[/tex] on both sides)

[tex]x=-1[/tex] (divided both sides by [tex]-3[/tex])

The solution is [tex]x=-1[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the values of y, that is

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the consecutive integers be (x - 1), x, (x + x)

x - 1 + x + x + 1 = 45

3x = 45    ---------> this is the equation

x = 45/3

x = 15

The ages are 14,15,16

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

consecutive integers means 1 right after the other....with x being the youngest, then x + 1 being the second friend, and x + 2 being the third friend.

so ur equation would be : x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 45......but since I cant see ur answer choices, it could also be : 3x + 3 = 45

Two rules come in handy here:

So we have

[tex]

\dfrac{\sqrt[4]{6}}{\sqrt[5]{6}}=\dfrac{6^{\frac{1}{4}}}{6^{\frac{1}{5}}}=6^{1/4-1/5}=\boxed{6^{9/20}}

[/tex]

The answer is B.

Hope this helps.

I will show you A and B, and give you a hint how to do C, since brainly doesn't provide C option.

A.

The elimination method is how I would solve this system

[tex]

\begin{cases}

2x+5y=25 \\

3x-2y=9

\end{cases}

[/tex]

We start by multiplying the first equation by 3 and second by -2 to obtain

[tex]

\begin{cases}

6x+15y=75 \\

-6x+4y=-18

\end{cases}

[/tex]

Now add the two equations and thus eliminate the x-terms to obtain

[tex]19y=57\Longrightarrow y=\dfrac{57}{19}=3[/tex]

Then we insert the y into either of the original equations and solve for x

[tex]

2x+5\cdot3=25 \\

2x=25-15 \\

2x=10 \\

x=5

[/tex]

And we have the solution at [tex]P(5,3)[/tex].

B.

We pick one equation and express x

[tex]

2x+5y=25 \\

2x=25-5y \\

x=\dfrac{25-5y}{2}

[/tex]

Then we replace the x in other equation with expression we just calculated and solve for y

[tex]

3\cdot\dfrac{25-5y}{2}-2y=9 \\

\dfrac{75-15y}{2}-2y=9 \\

\dfrac{75-15y-4y}{2}=9 \\

75-19y=18 \\

-19y=-57 \\

y=3

[/tex]

Now we put y in either of the original equations to get x

[tex]

2x+5\cdot3=25 \\

2x=25-15 \\

2x=10 \\

x=5 \\

[/tex]

And again we get the solution [tex]P(5,3)[/tex].

C.

To find solution graphically, you need to put both lines in general form [tex]f(x)=mx+n[/tex] where [tex]f(x)=y[/tex]

[tex]

\begin{cases}

2x+5y=25\Longrightarrow y=\frac{25-2x}{5}=-\frac{2}{5}x+5 \\

3x-2y=9\Longrightarrow y=-\frac{9-3x}{2}=-\frac{3}{2}x-\frac{9}{2}

\end{cases}

[/tex]

Then plot the lines on the graph. The solution will be point [tex]P(5,3)[/tex] where lines intersect, because we can represent lines as sets of points ordered pairs. Consider our two lines represented as two functions g and f where

[tex]

f(x)=-\frac{2}{5}x+5 \\

g(x)=-\frac{3}{2}x-\frac{9}{2}

[/tex]

Graphs (sets) of these two functions are defined as (assuming [tex]f,g:D_f,D_g\to T_f,T_g=\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}[/tex] since not specified):

[tex]

\displaystyle

G_f=\{(x,f(x)):x\in D_f\wedge f(x)\in T_f\} \\

G_g=\{(x,g(x)):x\in D_g\wedge g(x)\in T_g\}

[/tex]

Where D is definition zone (set of all x defined for function f or g) and T transformation zone (set of all f(x) or g(x)). Note that in our case [tex]D_f,T_f=D_g,T_g[/tex] because [tex]D_f,T_f,D_g,T_g=\mathbb{R}[/tex]

The solution is is intersection of these two sets

[tex]G_f\cap G_g=(5,3)[/tex]

Hope this helps.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To order decimals is to subtract, line up, and comparing digits.

Comparing digits is a good way to order decimals for greatest to least.

(Most Understood.)

We could put numbers in any order to compare digits, but you should look closely:

__________________________________________

First, we pick 2 numbers to compare, maybe 8.782 and 8.981.

We look at the digits for both numbers.

We see 8's, And 7 and 9, 9 is greater, so 8.981 is the greatest and 8.782 is the 2nd greatest.

Our last 2 numbers are 7.981 and 7.982,

We look at the digits for both numbers.

We see 7's, we see 9's, and we see 8's, but 1 and 2. 2 is greater so 7.982 is the 3rd greatest and 7.981 is the least.

Best of Luck to you.

If you have any questions, feel free to comment below.

-Also if anything is confusing!!

The numbers 8.981, 8.782, 7.982, and 7.981 are ordered from greatest to least. This is determined by comparing each digit from left to right, where 8.981 is the greatest and 7.981 is the least.

The task that you are asked to do is to arrange the numbers from greatest to least. The numbers given are 7.982, 7.981, 8.782, and 8.981.

This order is determined by comparing the digits from left to right. The first digit is the most significant indicator of the size of the number. However, if the first digits are the same, then we consider the following digits and so on until we find one that differs. In our case, 8.981 has both the largest initial digit (8) and the largest subsequent digits (9 and 8 respectively) so it is the greatest. Similarly, 7.981 has the smallest digits and as a result, it's the least.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Sarah eats squash every 4 days.

Therefore, if Sarah eats squash today then she will eat squash after 4 days, then after 8 days, then after 12 days and so on.

So, if Sarah eats squash today then Sarah eats squash on that day which is multiples of 4 days.  

Again, Sarah eats lima beans every 10 days.

Therefore, if Sarah eats lima beans today then she will eat lima beans after 10 days, then after20 days, then after 30 days and so on.

So, if Sarah eats lima beans today then Sarah eats lima beans on that day which are multiples of 10 days.  

Therefore, if she just eats squash and lima beans yesterday, then she will eat the same after common multiple days of 4 days and 10 days from yesterday.

Now, common multiples of 4 and 10 are 20, 40, 60, etc.

Hence, she will eat both squash and lima beans after yesterday on the 20th day and 40th day from yesterday i.e. twice within 50 days from yesterday. (Answer)

The speed of slower car is 94 kilometers per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total distance covered by both cars = 400 km

Time period = 2 hours

Let,

Speed of one car = x

Speed of slower car = x-12

Combined speed = [tex]x+(x-12)=x+x-12=2x-12[/tex]

Distance = Speed*Time

[tex]400=(2x-12)*2\\400=4x-24\\400+24=4x\\424=4x\\4x=424[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 4

[tex]\frac{4x}{4}=\frac{424}{4}\\x=106[/tex]

Speed of slower car = x-12 = 106-12 = 94 km/h

The speed of slower car is 94 kilometers per hour.

Petra can make 8 costumes with 12 yards of fabric

Given that Petra was given 12 yards of fabric to make costumes for the school play

Each costume requires [tex]1\frac{1}{2}[/tex] yards

To find: number of costume Petra can make

The number of costume Petra can make is calculated by dividing the total fabric she has by fabric needed for one costume

[tex]\text {number of costume Petra can make }=\frac{\text {total fabric she has }}{\text {fabric needed for one costume }}[/tex]

Total fabric she has = 12 yards

Fabric needed for 1 costume = [tex]1\frac{1}{2} = \frac{2 \times 1 + 1}{2} = \frac{3}{2}[/tex] yards

Therefore,

[tex]\text {number of costume Petra can make }=\frac{12}{3 / 2}=\frac{12}{3} \times 2=8[/tex]

Thus petra can make 8 costumes with 12 yards of fabric
