a banana plantation is located next to a desert. George, the plantation owner must transport the bananas to market by camel across a 1000 mile stretch of desert. Gorge has only one camel. The camel carries a maximum of 1000 bananas at any one time, and it eats one banana for every mile it travels. The plantation produced 3000. What is the greatest number of bananas that can be delivered to market, and how can it be done?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

500

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume camel stays at the market after complete delivery.

Idea is to drop off some bananas between the plantation and the market.  Refrigeration is required to avoid bananas going bad!

Status (planatation, 250 mile point, 500 mile point, market)

First trip with 1000 bananas, stop at 250 miles, drop off 500 bananas, and come back to plantation.  (status:  2000, 500, 0, 0) camel ate 500 bananas.

Second trip with 1000 bananas, stop at 250 miles, pick up 250 (to make 1000), drop off 250 at 500 mile point, come back to plantation.  (Status: 1000, 250,250,0) Camel ate 1500 bananas.

Last trip with 1000 bananas, stop at 250 miles, fill-up 250 (total 1000), stop at 500 miles, fill-up to make total 1000.  Travel all the way to market with 500 left.

(Status: 0,0,0,500) Camel ate 500+1000+1000.

Net delivery: 500 bananas to market.



Answer 2
Final answer:

Using the camel to transport bananas across the desert, George loses all bananas to the camel's consumption before reaching the market, resulting in 0 bananas delivered.

Explanation:

The question asks how many bananas can George, the plantation owner, transport to the market across a 1000 mile stretch of desert using a camel that can carry 1000 bananas and eats one per mile. George has 3000 bananas to start with.

To maximize the number of bananas delivered, George must use a strategy that conserves bananas while accounting for the camel's consumption. For the first trip, George loads the camel with 1000 bananas, travels 333 miles (eating one banana per mile), deposits 667 bananas, and returns with 0. He repeats this until all bananas are 333 miles into the desert. This requires three round trips for the first third of the journey, resulting in the loss of 2000 bananas and leaving 1000 bananas 333 miles into the desert.

Next, he takes 1000 bananas, goes another 500 miles (leaving 500 bananas), and returns for the last batch of 500. This leaves him with 500 bananas 500 miles into the desert. Finally, he carries the last 500 bananas the remaining distance of 500 miles to the market, arriving with 0 bananas. Therefore, the greatest number of bananas George can deliver to the market is 0. This proves that it is impossible to deliver any bananas to the market under the given conditions.

We are given number of miles the 3 bike trips they took last month = 45.7, 40.9, and 38 miles.

Sam and Bruno were computing how many kilometers.

Also one kilometer equals 0.621 miles.

From this we can see than 1 kilometer is smaller unit and a mile is a larger unit.

In order to convert number of miles into kilometers, we need to divide each number of mile by 0.621 miles.

We always divide a larger value by a smaller value to get the smaller unit.

The ratio of the prices of Emma's phone to Sophie's phone is 7:8. If Sophie's phone costs $640, how much should the prices of their phones decrease in order to have a ratio of 9:11 ?

Answers

Let cost of Emma's phone = x

Given that cost of Sophie's phone = 640

Then ratio of their phones cost will be x:640 or x/640

Given that ratio of their phones cost is 7:8 or 7/8

So both ratios will be equal.

[tex]\frac{x}{640}=\frac{7}{8}[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{7}{8}*640[/tex]

x=560


So the new ratio of the cost of their phones will be 560:640

Now we have to find about how much should the prices of their phones decrease in order to have a ratio of 9:11.

So let that decreased amount is k then we will get equation :

[tex]\frac{560-k}{640-k}=\frac{9}{11}[/tex]

11(560-k)=9(640-k)

6160-11k=5760-9k

6160-5760=11k-9k

400=2k

200=k


Hence final answer is prices of their phones should decrease by 200 in order to have a ratio of 9:11.

Answer:

For the ratio between the price of the phones to be 9:11, the price of Emma's phone must decrease from $ 560 to $ 523.66. That is, the price of Emma's phone should decrease $ 36,364

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this question, call x on Emma's phone and z on Sophie's phone.

We know that the price relationship between x and z is 7: 8

This means that:

[tex]\frac{7}{8} =\frac{x}{z}[/tex]

We know that the price of Sophie's phone is $ 640

Entoces z = 640  

Now we clear x

[tex]\frac{7}{8} =\frac{x}{640}\\ x =640}\frac{7}{8}=560\\ x = 560[/tex]

Then, if the new relationship is 9:11 then:

[tex]\frac{9}{11} =\frac{x}{640}[/tex]

x = $523,636

For the ratio between the price of the phones to be 9:11, the price of Emma's phone must decrease from $ 560 to $ 523.66. That is, the price of Emma's phone should decrease $ 36,364

Answer is D

(5x^3 - 7)(2x^2 + 1)

Answer:

D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's use common factor gruping terms. We have that we have a common factor between the two left terms and another common factor between the two right terms. Then,

for the two left terms we take the common divisor, in this case 5 and the x with the minimun exponent, that is 5x^3.

for the two right terms we take the common divisor, in this case -7 and the x with the minimun exponent, in this case the -7 has no x so we don't include it in the common factor.

[tex]10x^5 + 5x^3 - 14x^2 - 7 = 5x^3(2x^2+1)-7(2x^2+1)[/tex]

Now, we use common factor again, this time the common factor will be [tex]2x^2+1[/tex]:

[tex]10x^5 + 5x^3 - 14x^2 - 7 = 5x^3(2x^2+1)-7(2x^2+1)= (2x^2+1)(5x^3-7)[/tex].

Hey there!!

Given equation :

... 4x +3(x+2) = 5(2x-3)

Using the distributive property :

... 4x + 3(x) + 3 (2) = 5(2x) + 5(-3)

... 4x + 3x + 6 = 10x - 15

Combining the like terms :

... 7x + 6 = 10x - 15

Subtracting 7x on both sides :

... 6 = 3x - 15

Adding 15 on both sides :

... 21 = 3x

Dividing by 3 on both sides :

... x = 7

This is the solved equation. The first step we have done to solve the equation was using the distributive property.

A coyote weighs 11.3 lb convert the coyotes weight to ounces

Answers

1 lb = 16 ounces

11.3 lb x 16 oz = 180.8 ounces

11.3 lb equals 180.8 oz

Answer: 180.8 ounces

Step-by-step explanation: To convert 11.3 pounds to ounces, first find the conversion factor for pounds and ounces.

Conversion factor → 16 ounces = 1 pound

Next, notice that we are going from a larger unit "pounds" to a smaller unit "ounces." When we go from a larger unit to a smaller unit we multiply.

Larger ⇒ smaller multiply

In this case, we multiply 11.3 pounds by our conversion factor which is 16 ounces.

11.3 × 16 = 180.8 oz.

This means that 11.3 pounds is equal to 180.8 ounces.

How to find X intercept and Y intercept from a slope intercept equation

Answers

To find the x intercept of a given linear equation, plug in 0 for y and solve for x. To find the y-intercept, plug 0 in for 'x and solve for 'y.
Final answer:

To find the X and Y intercepts from a slope intercept equation, first understand the equation structure (y = mx + b). The 'm' signifies the slope, and the 'b' indicates the y-intercept. To find the x-intercept, set y to zero and solve for x. To find the y-intercept, look at the 'b' value.

Explanation:

In a slope intercept equation written in the form y = mx + b, the x-intercept and y-intercept are determined by values of y and x when they equal zero respectively. The 'm' signifies the slope of the line, indicating the rise over run on the graph, and the 'b' indicates the y-intercept, which is the point at which the line intersects the y axis.

To find the y-intercept from a slope-intercept equation, you consider the 'b' in the equation. For instance, in the line graph, the y-intercept is 9, meaning the line crosses the y-axis at the point (0,9).

To find the x-intercept (the point where the line crosses the x-axis), you set y equal to zero and solve for x. If 'y' is equal to '0', then the equation becomes 0 = mx + b. Solving for 'x' in this equation will give the x-intercept.

A cab service charges a flat rate of $3.25 and an additional $0.75 per mile. Ashley has $10. What is the maximum number of miles Ashley can travel?

Answers

After paying for the flat rate, she has 10-3.25=6.75 left.

With 6.75 she can go for 6.75/0.75 = 9 miles

Note: solving by reasoning is often faster than mechanically forming an equation.

Final answer:

To find the maximum number of miles Ashley can travel with $10, subtract the flat rate of $3.25 from $10, leaving $6.75, which is then divided by the per mile rate of $0.75 to result in 9 miles.

Explanation:

To calculate the maximum number of miles Ashley can travel with $10 using the cab service that charges a flat rate plus a per mile fee, you first subtract the flat rate from the total amount Ashley has. Then, divide the remaining amount by the per mile charge to find the number of miles she can afford.

Step-by-step Calculation

Subtract the flat rate ($3.25) from Ashley's total amount ($10): $10 - $3.25 = $6.75.

How to represent the number 8.2 using base 10 blocks. How much each size blocks is worth?

Answers

Final answer:

To represent 8.2 using base 10 blocks, you need 8 one blocks and 2 tenth blocks, where one blocks represent 1 and tenth blocks represent 0.1. This method is effective for visualizing numbers in base 10.

Explanation:

To represent the number 8.2 using base 10 blocks, we use different sizes of blocks to represent different place values in base 10.

Each size block is worth a different value based on its place in the number.

A hundred block represents 100.A ten rod represents 10.A one block represents 1.A tenth block (also known as a flat or a piece of flat) represents 0.1.

To represent 8.2, we would need:

8 one blocks (because 8 is in the ones place).2 tenth blocks (because 2 is in the tenths place, representing 0.2).

This method of representation helps in visualizing and understanding the value of numbers in the base 10 system. It's particularly useful in educational settings for explaining the concept of place values and decimals.

We know formula for volume of a sphere.

[tex]V=\frac{3}{4}(r^{3}\pi)[/tex]

Where r is the radius.

Plugging V= 790.272 π  in the above formula, we get

[tex]790.272\pi =\frac{3}{4}(r^{3}\pi)[/tex]

Dividing both sides by π, we get

790.272 =[tex]\frac{4}{3}(r^{3})[/tex]

Multiplying both sides by 3, we get

2370.816 = [tex]4r^3[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 4, we get

592.704 = [tex]r^3[/tex]

Taking cube root on both sides, we get

r=8.4.

Diamater is 2 times of radius, that is 2 × 8.4 = 16.8

Therefore, the diameter of the container = 16.8 feet.
