A local hamburger shop sold a combined total of 445 hamburgers and cheeseburgers on Tuesday. There were 55 fewer cheeseburgers sold than hamburgers. How many hamburgers were sold on Tuesday?

Answers

Let x represent the number of hamburgers sold, and (x - 55) represent the number of cheeseburgers sold.

Set up an equation:
hamburgers + cheeseburgers = total number of burgers

x + (x-55) = 445

solve for x: 
2x - 55 = 445

2x = 445 + 55

2x = 500

x = 500÷2

x = 250

This means 250 hamburgers were sold on Tuesday.

Hope this helps!

-Jabba


To solve for the number of hamburgers sold, two equations were setup: H + C = 445 and C = H - 55. Substituting the second equation into the first and solving for H results in finding that 250 hamburgers were sold on Tuesday.

The question asks us to find out how many hamburgers were sold on Tuesday given that a total of 445 hamburgers and cheeseburgers were sold, and there were 55 fewer cheeseburgers than hamburgers. Let's denote the number of hamburgers as H and the number of cheeseburgers as C. We have two equations here: H + C = 445 and C = H - 55. Plugging in the second equation into the first, we get H + (H - 55) = 445, which simplifies to 2H - 55 = 445. Adding 55 to both sides gives us 2H = 500, and dividing both sides by 2 gives us H = 250. Therefore, on Tuesday, the hamburger shop sold 250 hamburgers.

Ana wants to paint her dogs doghouse. She has 4 colors: Green, Maroon, Blue and Wheat. One color will cover the walls, and another color will be used for the trim. (For example, green walls with wheat trim = GW.) Which one of these answers show all of the possible color combinations?

A. BW, BM, BG, BB, MW, MB, MG, MM, GW, GB, GM, GG
B. GM, GB, GW, MG, MB, MW, BG, BM, BW, WG, WM, WB
C. MM, MG, WB, WM, WG, BB, BG, BM, WB, GB, GM, GW

Answers

Let us take this one by one. One color can pair with three colors.

 

Green = Maroon, Blue, Wheat = GM, GB, GW

Maroon = Green, Blue, Wheat = MG, MB, MW

Blue = Green, Maroon, Wheat = BG, BM, BW

Wheat = Green, Maroon, Blue = WG, WM, WB

 

So the combinations are:

 

GM, GB, GW, MG, MB, MW, BG, BM, BW, WG, WM, WB

 

Which is letter B.

Macs farm has a total of 18 horses and 27 cows. what is the ratio of horses to cows in simplest form?

Answers

The ratio is basically finding the quotient of two numbers. If you want to find the ratio of horses to cows, divide the number of horses to that of cows.

Ratio = 18/27

When expressing it to its simplest form, make sure it is reduced. 18 and 27 are both factors of 9. So,

Ratio = 9*2/9*3
Cancelling out 9, the ratio at its simplest form is: 2/3

Answer:

2/3

y=3x should intersect the y-axis at 0,0 (technically it is y=3x+0) and for y=3x+4, (0,4) is where the equation intersects the y-axis. Because both these equations share the same slope, this means the two lines are parallel to each other. Hope this helps!
The equations y = 3x and y = 3x + 4 can not intersect because they have the same slope meaning they are both parallel lines.

Find the dimensions of the rectangle with largest area that can be inscribed in an equilateral triangle with sides of 1 unit, if one side of the rectangle is on the base of the equilateral triangle.

Answers

Maximum area = sqrt(3)/8 Let's first express the width of the triangle as a function of it's height. If you draw an equilateral triangle, then a rectangle using one of the triangles edges as the base, you'll see that there's 4 regions created. They are the rectangle, a smaller equilateral triangle above the rectangle, and 2 right triangles with one leg being the height of the rectangle and the other 2 angles being 30 and 60 degrees. Let's call the short leg of that triangle b. And that makes the width of the rectangle equal to 1 minus twice b. So we have w = 1 - 2b b = h/sqrt(3) So w = 1 - 2*h/sqrt(3) The area of the rectangle is A = hw A = h(1 - 2*h/sqrt(3)) A = h*1 - h*2*h/sqrt(3) A = h - 2h^2/sqrt(3) We now have a quadratic equation where A = -2/sqrt(3), b = 1, and c=0. We can solve the problem by using a bit of calculus and calculating the first derivative, then solving for 0. But since this is a simple quadratic, we could also take advantage that a parabola is symmetrical and that the maximum value will be the midpoint between it's roots. So let's use the quadratic formula and solve it that way. The 2 roots are 0, and 1.5/sqrt(3). The midpoint is (0 + 1.5/sqrt(3))/2 = 1.5/sqrt(3) / 2 = 0.75/sqrt(3) So the desired height is 0.75/sqrt(3). Now let's calculate the width: w = 1 - 2*h/sqrt(3) w = 1 - 2* 0.75/sqrt(3) /sqrt(3) w = 1 - 2* 0.75/3 w = 1 - 1.5/3 w = 1 - 0.5 w = 0.5 The area is A = hw A = 0.75/sqrt(3) * 0.5 A = 0.375/sqrt(3) Now as I said earlier, we could use the first derivative. Let's do that as well and see what happens. A = h - 2h^2/sqrt(3) A' = 1h^0 - 4h/sqrt(3) A' = 1 - 4h/sqrt(3) Now solve for 0. A' = 1 - 4h/sqrt(3) 0 = 1 - 4h/sqrt(3) 4h/sqrt(3) = 1 4h = sqrt(3) h = sqrt(3)/4 w = 1 - 2*(sqrt(3)/4)/sqrt(3) w = 1 - 2/4 w = 1 -1/2 w = 1/2 A = wh A = 1/2 * sqrt(3)/4 A = sqrt(3)/8 And the other method got us 0.375/sqrt(3). Are they the same? Let's see. 0.375/sqrt(3) Multiply top and bottom by sqrt(3) 0.375*sqrt(3)/3 Multiply top and bottom by 8 3*sqrt(3)/24 Divide top and bottom by 3 sqrt(3)/8 Yep, they're the same. And since sqrt(3)/8 looks so much nicer than 0.375/sqrt(3), let's use that as the answer.
The area of the rectangle is equal to L x W where L is the length and W is the width. 

               A = L x W

If we let L be the length and given that the triangle is equilateral with sides equal to 1, the value of W should be (0.5 - L/2)(tan 60)

           W = (0.5 - L/2)(tan 60)

Simplifying the expression for the width,
          W = 0.866 - 0.866L

The area now becomes,
      A = (L)(0.866 - 0.866L)

Simplifying,
    
   A = 0.866L - 0.866L²

Derive and equate to zero for the maximum value of L. 
   dA = 0.866 - 2(0.866)(L) = 0

The value of L from the equation should be 0.5. 
           W = 0.866 - 0.866(0.5) = 0.433

Answer: L = 0.5
             W = 0.433

Alexander deposited money into his retirement account that is compounded annually at an interest rate of 7%.
Alexander thought the equivalent quarterly interest rate would be 2%. Is Alexander correct? If he is, explain
why. If he is not correct, state what the equivalent quarterly interest rate is and show how you got your
answer. i need to show my work and everything

Answers

Tow rates are equivalent if tow initial investments over a the same time, produce the same final value using different interest rates.

For the annually rate we have that:
[tex] V_{0} =(1+ i_{a} ) ^{1} [/tex]
Where
[tex] V_{0}[/tex] = initial investment.
[tex] i_{a} [/tex] = annually interest rate in decimal form.
And the exponent (1) represents the full year.

For the quarterly interest rate we have that:
[tex] V_{0} =(1+ i_{q} ) ^{4} [/tex]
Where
[tex] V_{0}[/tex] = initial investment.
[tex] i_{q}[/tex] = quarterly interest rate in decimal form.
And the exponent (4) the 4 quarters in the full year.

Since the rates are equivalent if tow initial investments over a the same time, produce the same final value, then
[tex](1+ i_{a} )=(1+ i_{q} ) ^{4} [/tex]
Notice that we are not using the initial investment [tex] V_{0} [/tex] since they are the same.

The first thin we are going to to calculate the equivalent quarterly rate of the 7% annually rate is converting 7% to decimal form
7%/100 = 0.07
Now, we can replace the value in our equation to get:
[tex](1+0.07)=(1+ i_{q} ) ^{4} [/tex]
[tex]1.07=(1+ i_{q} ) ^{4} [/tex]
[tex] \sqrt[4]{1.07} =1+ i_{q} [/tex]
 [tex] i_{q} = \sqrt[4]{1.07} -1[/tex]
[tex] i_{q} =0.017[/tex]
Finally, we multiply the quarterly interest rate in decimal form by 100% to get:
(0.017)(100%) = 1.7%
We can conclude that Alexander is wrong, the equivalent quarterly rate of an annually rate of 7% is 1.7% and not 2%.


You can jog around the block twice and the park once in 10 min. You can jog around the block twice and the park 3 times in 22 min. Write a system of linear equations that represents this situation. How long does it take to jog around the park?

Answers

b = block     p = park

2b + p = 10 min                2 runs around the block takes 10 minutes
2b + 3p = 22 min        2 runs around the block plus 3 runs around the park                                                       takes 22 minutes

To solve, I will use substitution. First, I will divide the first equation by 2 to get b by itself and subtract p from both sides to get b by itself. Then, substitute 5 - 1/2p in for b in the second equation because they have equal values. Then, subtract 10 from both sides to eliminate it. Divide by 2 to both sides to get 'p' by itself.

2b + p = 10 min ---------→b + 1/2p = 5 ----------→ b = 5 - 1/2p

2(5 - 1/2p) + 3p = 22 ---------→ 10 -p + 3p = 22 --------→ 10 + 2p = 22

10 + 3p = 22 ----------→ 2p = 12

2p = 12 -------------→ p = 6

It takes 6 minutes to jog around the park

f(-3) = |-7|-5

f(-3) = 7-5

f(-3) = 2 which is the final answer

Side Note: the vertical bars mean "absolute value" which represents distance. Negative distance makes no sense which is why absolute value results are never negative.

Substitute -3 for x

[tex]f(-3) = |2 \times -3 - 1| -5[/tex]

Multiply 2 and -3

[tex]f(-3) = |-6 - 1| -5[/tex]

[tex]f(-3) = |-7| -5[/tex]

Answers

point is the image of (3,4) if it is reflected over the y axis is (-3,4)
answer
C. (-3,4)

If point is the image of (3,4) if it is reflected over the y axis, then the resulting point is (-3,4) (option c)

When a point is reflected over the y-axis, its x-coordinate changes sign while the y-coordinate remains the same. In other words, if we have a point (x, y), its image after reflection over the y-axis will be (-x, y).

Let's apply this rule to the given point (3, 4). When we reflect it over the y-axis, the x-coordinate changes sign, but the y-coordinate remains the same. Therefore, the image of (3, 4) after reflection over the y-axis will be (-3, 4).

A store sells small notebooks for ​$8 and large notebooks for ​$10. if a student buys 6 notebooks and spends ​$56​, how many of each size did he​ buy?

Answers

The first thing you have to do is find a way to make the last digit 6 (since its $56). So that would be $8×2=16, so there are 2 small notebooks. Then, she needs another $40 to get $56, so 40÷10=4, so she bought 4 large notebooks.

Answer: 2 small, 4 large
I would approach this from a Guess and Check Strategy. Take combinations of two numbers when added equal six: 0 + 6 1+ 5. 2+ 4, 3 + 3, 4 + 2, 5 + 1, 6 + 0. Take a combination like 3 + 3. If the student bought 3 notebooks at $8  each and 3 notebooks at $10 each it would be $24 + $30 = $54 which is just short of $56. You could use each of the combinations in the same way until you match $56. In the end the combination of 2 + 4 would solve the problem. Two notebooks at $8 each plus four notebooks at $10 each would be: $16 + $40 which does equal $56. So the student bought 2 notebooks at $8 each and 4 notebooks at $0 each.

Answers

The man would pay $491 less for a policy of 20 year life insurance than a straight life policy. So, the answer is the second one.

Answer: Second option is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Amount for policy = $50,000

If he opt for life insurance @$5.84 per $1000,

then, his amount of premium will be

[tex]50000\times \frac{5.84}{1000}=\$292[/tex]

If he opt for straight policy @ $15.66 per $1000,

then, his amount of premium will be

[tex]50000\times \frac{15.66}{1000}=\$783[/tex]

Difference in both the cases will be

What is the LCM of 5 and 6?

Answers

Answer: 30

Explanation: To find the least common multiple of lcm of 5 and 6, we begin by listing the first few multiples of each number.

Multiples of 5

1 x 5 = 5

2 x 5 = 10

3 x 5 = 15

4 x 5 = 20

5 x 5 = 25

6 x 5 = 30

Notice that we skipped 0 x 6 in our list of multiples. That's because 0 x 6 is 0 and our least common multiple can't be 0.

Next we list the multiples of 6. When we list the multiples of 6, it's a good idea to keep an eye on the list of multiples for 6 so that we know when we have found a least common multiple.

Multiples of 6

1 x 6 = 6

2 x 6 = 12

3 x 6 = 18

4 x 6 = 24

5 x 6 = 30

Notice that 30 appears in both lists so we can stop here.

This means that the least common multiple of 5 and 6 is 30.

Option 1: If the customer pays today, the amount needed is only $1500. 
Option 2: If the customer pays after 12 months, the total amount is $1650. 
The equation is $1500+ ($1500x%charge) =$1650. Solve for % charge after 12 months, %charge = ($1650-$1500) /$1500 %charge =0. 1 or 10%

Therefore, the percent charge after 12 months is 10%.
