Will someone please help me solve this? A girl scout troop sold cookies. If the girls sold 5 more boxes the second week than they did the first, and if they doubled the sales of the second week for the third week to sell a total of 431 boxes of cookies, how many did they sell each week?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

104 boxes109 boxes218 boxes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let b represent the number of boxes of cookies sold the first week. Then b+5 boxes were sold the second week, and 2(b+5) boxes were sold the third week. The total sold was ...

  b +(b+5) +2(b+5) = 431

  4b +15 = 431 . . . . . . simplify

  b = (431 -15)/4 = 104 . . . . . subtract 15, divide by the coefficient of b

First week: b = 104

Second week: b+5 = 109

Third week: 2(b+5) = 218

Sheldon harvest the strawberries and tomatoes in his garden. He picks 1 2/5 kg lesss strawberries in the morning tha in the afternnoon. If sheldon picks 2 1/4 in the morning, how many kilograms of strawberries does he pick in the afternoon?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]3\frac{13}{20}=3.65[/tex] kg.

Step-by-step explanation:        

Let S be amount of strawberries picked in the afternoon.

We have been given that Sheldon harvest the strawberries and tomatoes in his garden. He picks 1 2/5 kg less strawberries in the morning than in the afternoon and the strawberries picked in morning are [tex]2\frac{1}{4}[/tex] kg.

To find the amount of strawberries picked by Sheldon in the afternoon we will add [tex]2\frac{1}{4}[/tex] and [tex]1\frac{2}{5}[/tex]  :

[tex]S= 2\frac{1}{4}+1\frac{2}{5}[/tex]      

Upon converting our given mixed fractions into improper fraction we will get,

[tex]S= \frac{9}{4}+\frac{7}{5}[/tex]

Now let us have a common denominator.

[tex]S=\frac{9*5}{4*5}+\frac{7*4}{5*4}[/tex]

[tex]S=\frac{45}{20}+\frac{28}{20}[/tex]

[tex]S=\frac{45+28}{20}[/tex]

[tex]S=\frac{73}{20}[/tex]  

[tex]S=3\frac{13}{20}[/tex]  

[tex]S=3.65[/tex]

Therefore, Sheldon picked [tex]3\frac{13}{20}=3.65[/tex] kg of strawberries in the afternoon.  

Final answer:

Sheldon picks approximately 0.85 kg of strawberries in the afternoon.

Explanation:

To find out how many kilograms of strawberries Sheldon picks in the afternoon, we need to subtract 1 2/5 kg from the total he picks in the morning.

Given that Sheldon picks 2 1/4 kg of strawberries in the morning, we can subtract 1 2/5 kg from it:

2 1/4 kg - 1 2/5 kg = 9/4 kg - 7/5 kg = 45/20 kg - 28/20 kg = 17/20 kg.

Therefore, Sheldon picks 17/20 kg or approximately 0.85 kg of strawberries in the afternoon.

A farm grew 19.8 tons of wheat in 2013. The frams's wheat output increased by 9.8% from 2013 to 2014 and by 5.1 from 2014 to 2015. Which expression represents a strategy for estimating the total output of wheat in tons, in 2015?

Answers

Answer:

Quantity of wheat in 2015 is 19.8(1.098)(1.051) tons

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given

A farm grew 19.8 tons of wheat in 2013

In 2013:

quantity of wheat =19.8 tons

In 2014:

The farms's wheat output increased by 9.8% from 2013 to 2014

So, quantity of wheat becomes

[tex]=19.8(1+0.098)[/tex]

[tex]=19.8(1.098)[/tex]

In 2015:

The farms's wheat output increased  by 5.1 from 2014 to 2015

so, it is increased by 5.1 % of 2014 quantity

so, we get

quantity of wheat in 2015 is

[tex]=19.8(1.098)(1+0.051)[/tex]

[tex]=19.8(1.098)(1.051)[/tex]


You can calculate how much 9.8% of 19.8 ton is and then add that to 19.8 and add 5.1 more to know the weight of wheat in tons produced in 2015.

The total output of wheat in tons, in 2015 is 26.84 tons.

How to know the wheat amount produced in 2015?

In 2014, there was increase of 9.8% wheat production than last year(2013).

Thus,

Production in 2014 = Production in 2013 + 9.8% of production in 2013

9.8% of production in 2013 = [tex]19.8 \times \dfrac{9.8}{100} = 1.9404[/tex]

Production in 2014 = 19.8 + 1.94 = 21.74

Production in 2015 = Production in 2014  + 5.1 tons= 21.74 + 5.1 = 26.84 tons

Thus, the total output of wheat in tons, in 2015 is 26.84 tons.

Patrik rotated the pentagon about its center. What degree measure could he have rotated the pentagon so that is mapped onto itself? A.108 B.180 C.288 D.540

Answers

Answer:

Option C is correct.

288 degree measure could he have rotated the pentagon so that is mapped onto itself

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:  Patrik rotated the pentagon about its center.

A Rotational symmetry of a regular polygon is based on the number of vertices it has.

If the Pentagon figure is rotated [tex]360^{\circ}[/tex] about its center, each vertex lands exactly on the top of where it started.

Since you have 5 vertices, so your starting vertex can land in 5 different starting places and still come up with the same figure.

So if you take [tex]\frac{360}{5} = 72^{\circ}[/tex] rotations to each consecutive vertex.

a rotation of 72 degree, 144 degree, 216 degree, 288 degree and 360 degree will result in the same figure.

Therefore, 288 degree measure could he have rotated the pentagon so that is mapped onto itself.

If the arc length of a sector in the unit circle is 3 radians, what is the measure of the angle of the sector?

A) 1.5 radians
B) 3 radians
C) 6 radians
D) 9 radians

Answers

Answer:

B) 3 radians

Step-by-step explanation:

The arc length is the product of the radius and angle. You have ...

... 3 radians = 1 × angle

so

... 3 radians = angle

_____

Comment on units

The formula is

... s = rθ . . . . . where s is the arc length, r is the radius, and θ is the central angle in radians.

The units of both s and r are units of length, so the units of angle are ...

... (length units)/(length units) = <no units>

That is, "radians" are fully equivalent to "no units."

The trouble with this problem statement is that it expresses "arc length" in units of "radians." This only works if the units of the radius of the unit circle are "no units". Ordinarily, that would not be the case. The length of the radius of the unit circle is usually "one length unit." If the central angle is 3 radians, then the arc length is "3 length units," not "3 radians."

Lilly has read seven-eighths of her book and is on page 147. How many pages does lilly have left to read?

Answers

Answer:

21

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Lilly has read 7/8 of her book (aka 147 pages), divide 147 by 7 and you get 21.

This means 1/8=21

Since she has read 7/8 of the book, and the full book is 8/8, 8/8-7/8= 1/8

Meaning she has 1/8 of the book left to read.

As said before, 1/8 =21

Thus, she has 21 pages left to read.

Which set of measurements could be the side lengths of a triangle?

d- 7 cm, 10 cm, 8 cm

Answers

Answer:

c is the correct answer i believe

Step-by-step explanation:

Because a triangle must have two equal sides


Final answer:

The sets of measurements that could be the side lengths of a triangle are c (9 cm, 4 cm, 4 cm) and d (7 cm, 10 cm, 8 cm), as they both satisfy the Triangle Inequality Theorem.

Explanation:

The question asks which set of measurements could be the side lengths of a triangle. To determine if three lengths can form a triangle, we can use the Triangle Inequality Theorem, which states that the sum of the lengths of any two sides must be greater than the length of the third side. Let's analyze each option:

a- 2 cm, 8 cm, 12 cm: 2 + 8 is not greater than 12, so this set cannot form a triangle.b- 13 cm, 7 cm, 4 cm: 13 is not less than the sum of 7 + 4, so this set cannot form a triangle.c- 9 cm, 4 cm, 4 cm: 9 is less than the sum of 4 + 4, so this set can form a triangle.d- 7 cm, 10 cm, 8 cm: Each side is less than the sum of the other two, so this set can also form a triangle.

Therefore, options c (9 cm, 4 cm, 4 cm) and d (7 cm, 10 cm, 8 cm) could be the side lengths of a triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is just a type of problem like finding how long it will take for you to get somewhere.  Like in finding how fast you need to go to go to a place that is 60 miles in one hour.  All you have to do is divide the distance of the star by the speed of light, and you get the amount of time it will take for the star's light to reach the Earth.

The time taken by the light to travel from a star to Earth is required.

It would take 12 years for the light to reach Earth.

Distance of star from Earth = [tex]1.135\times 10^{14}\ \text{km}[/tex]

Speed of light from star = [tex]9.4607\times 10^{12}\ \text{km/year}[/tex]

Time is given by

In 1996, Town M had a population of 30,500 people, and it has grown at a rate of 2% every year. In 1996, Town N had 32,500 people and the population has increased by a constant rate of 600 people each year. In what year were the populations of the two towns approximately equal?

Answers

Answer:

18 years after 1996 which is 2014

Step-by-step explanation:

Town M had a population of 30,500 people. It grows by 2%. That means the next year will be 30,500+0.02(30,500)=31,110. The next year will be 31,110+0.02(31110)=31732.2 and so forth.

Town N had 32,500 and grows by 600 each year. That means the next year will be 32,500+600=33,100. The next year will be 33,100+600=33,700 and so forth.

Year      Town M       Town N

1            31,110            33,100

2           31,732.2       33,700

6           34348          36,100

7           35035          36,700

We can see the populations are getting closer but not very fast. Let's try higher numbers.

Taylor and Anya are friends who live 63 miles apart. Sometimes on a Saturday, they ride toward each other's houses on their bikes and meet in between. One day they left their houses at 8 am and met at 11 am. Taylor rode at 12.5 miles per hour. How fast did Anya ride?

Answers

Answer:

Anya rode at 8.5 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Taylor and Anya live 63 miles apart. One day they left their houses at 8 am and met at 11 am riding toward each other. Taylor rode at 12.5 miles per hour.

We can see that Taylor and Anya met after 3 hours as 11-8=3. This means that both rode their cycles for 3 hours.

Let us find distance covered by Taylor.

[tex]\text{Distance}=\text{Speed*Time}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Distance covered by Taylor}=12.5\frac{\text{Miles}}{\text{hour}}*3\text{ hours}}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Distance covered by Taylor}=12.5*3\text{ Miles}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Distance covered by Taylor}=37.5\text{ Miles}[/tex]

Therefore, Taylor covered 37.5 miles in 3 hours.

Let us find distance covered by Anya in 3 hours by subtracting distance covered by Taylor from total distance of 63 miles.

[tex]\text{Distance covered by Anya in 3 hours}=(63-37.5)\text{ Miles}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Distance covered by Anya in 3 hours}=25.5\text{ Miles}[/tex]

Now let us find speed at which Anya rode bike.

[tex]\text{Speed}=\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Speed at which Anya rode the bike}=\frac{25.5\text{ Miles}}{3\text{ Hour}}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Speed at which Anya rode the bike}=8.5\frac{\text{ Miles}}{\text{ Hour}}[/tex]

Therefore, Anya rode the bike at the speed of 8.5 miles per hour.

How many pounds are there in 3 and 1 over 4 tons? (1 ton = 2000 pounds)

Answers

Answer: 3 1/4 tons = 6500 tons


Step-by-step explanation:

3 tons is 6000 since 3 * 2000 = 6000

1/4 would be 25% of 2000 which would be 500

because if you take 500 four times it will be 2000

So here you go bud.

3 1/4 tons in pounds.

if 2000 pounds are 1 ton multiply 2000 to 3 tons.

You get 6000.

Then you move on to 1/4.

2000 divided by 4 is 500.

500 is your 1/4.

So 6500 is your answer.

Hope this helped!

Answer:

[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex], [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Each term in the sequence is half of the previous term, thus multiply the previous term by 1/2 to obtain the next term in the sequence

1 × [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]


Each step of the way you halve it. Therefore, the next 2 are 1/2 and 1/4

Type the correct answer in the box. Jason builds doghouses for a pet store. Each doghouse is a wooden structure with a rectangular base that has an area of 21 square feet and a length that is 4 feet more than its width. If x represents the width of the doghouse, write an equation in the given form that can be used to determine the possible dimensions of the base of the doghouse.

Answers

Final answer:

The equation that represents the area of the doghouse base is 21 = x * (x + 4), where x is the width and x + 4 is the length.

Explanation:

Jason is building a doghouse with a rectangular base, where the area is known to be 21 square feet. If the width is x feet and given the length is 4 feet longer than the width, the length can be represented as x+4. As such, we can create an equation representing the area of the rectangular base as:

Area = Width * Length

By substituting the given values, we get the equation:

21 = x * (x + 4).

This algebraic equation can guide the solution to find the possible values of x, that is, the width of the doghouse.

Final answer:

To determine the possible dimensions of the base of the doghouse, use the equation x^2 + 4x - 21 = 0.

Explanation:

To find the possible dimensions of the base of the doghouse, we can use the given information that the area of the base is 21 square feet and the length is 4 feet more than its width.

We can represent the width as x. So, the length would be x + 4.

The equation for the area of the rectangle is length x width.

Substituting the values, we get x(x + 4) = 21.

Simplifying the equation, we can rewrite it as x^2 + 4x - 21 = 0.

This equation can be used to determine the possible dimensions of the base of the doghouse.

Which ordered pair is a solution to the inequality?

Help please!!

Answers

Choice A is the answer which is the point (1,-1)

=========================================

How I got this answer:

Plug each point into the inequality. If you get a true statement after simplifying, then that point is in the solution set and therefore a solution. Otherwise, it's not a solution.

-------------

checking choice A

plug in (x,y) = (1,-1)

[tex]y - 2x \le -3[/tex]

[tex]-1 - 2(1) \le -3[/tex]

[tex]-3 \le -3[/tex]

This is true because -3 is equal to itself. So this is the answer.

-------------

checking choice B

plug in (x,y) = (2,4)

[tex]y - 2x \le -3[/tex]

[tex]4 - 2(2) \le -3[/tex]

[tex]0 \le -3[/tex]

This is false because 0 is not to the left of -3, nor is 0 equal to -3. We can cross this off the list.

-------------

checking choice C

plug in (x,y) = (-2,3)

[tex]y - 2x \le -3[/tex]

[tex]3 - 2(-2) \le -3[/tex]

[tex]7 \le -3[/tex]

This is false because 7 is not to the left of -3, nor is 7 equal to -3. We can cross this off the list.

-------------

checking choice D

plug in (x,y) = (3,4)

[tex]y - 2x \le -3[/tex]

[tex]4 - 2(3) \le -3[/tex]

[tex]-2 \le -3[/tex]

This is false because -2 is not to the left of -3, nor is -2 equal to -3. We can cross this off the list.
