A group of 266 persons consist of men, women, and children. There are four times as many men as children. And twice as many women as children. How many of each are there

Answers

Answer 1

There are 152 men, 76 women and 38 children.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total persons = 266

Let,

men = m

women = w

children = c

According to given statement;

m+w+c=266    Eqn 1

m = 4c   Eqn 2

w = 2c   Eqn 3

Putting value of m and w from Eqn 2 and 3 in Eqn 1

[tex]4c+2c+c=266\\7c=266\\[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 7

[tex]\frac{7c}{7}=\frac{266}{7}\\c=38[/tex]

Putting c=38 in Eqn 2;

[tex]m=4(38)\\m=152[/tex]

Putting c=38 in Eqn 1;

[tex]w=2(38)\\w=76[/tex]

There are 152 men, 76 women and 38 children.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

An isosceles triangle has two equal sides and two equal angles

step 1

Find the measure of angle BDA

we know that

Triangle ABD is an isosceles triangle

AB=AD ---> given problem

so

m∠ABD=m∠BDA

therefore

m∠BDA=72°

step 2

Find the measure of angle BAD

Remember that the sum of the interior angle in a triangle must be equal to 180 degrees

In the triangle BDA

m∠ABD+m∠BDA+m∠BAD=180°

substitute the given values

72°+72°+m∠BAD=180°

144°+m∠BAD=180°

m∠BAD=180°-144°=36°

step 3

Find the measure of angle BCA

In the triangle ABC

m∠BCA=m∠BAC

we have that

m∠BAC=m∠BAD=36°

therefore

m∠BCA=36°

step 4

Find the measure of angle ABC

In the triangle ABC

m∠BAC+m∠BCA+m∠ABC=180°

substitute the given values

36°+36°+m∠ABC=180°

72°+m∠ABC=180°

m∠ABC=180°-72°=108°

step 5

Find the measure of angle DBC

we know that

m∠DBC+m∠ABD=m∠ABC ----> by addition angle postulate

substitute the given values

m∠DBC+72°=108°

m∠DBC=108°-72°=36°

step 6

Find the measure of angle BDC

we know that

m∠BDC+m∠ADB=180° ----> by supplementary angles

substitute the given value

m∠BDC+72°=180°

m∠BDC=180°-72°=108°

step 7

In the triangle DBC we have

m∠DBC=36°

m∠BCD=m∠BCA=36°

so

The triangle BCD has two equal angles

therefore

Triangle BCD is an isosceles triangle

and

BD=BC

Lines r , s , and t are parallel. That means they have the same slope. Each of these lines has a slope of - 2 . Enter numbers to complete an equation for each line.

Answers

Answer:

(a) y = -2 x -2

(b)  y = -2 x + 1

(c)  y = -2 x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The given lines r , s and t are parallel.

⇒ Slope of line r = Slope of line s = Slope of line t = (-2)

The point slope equation for any line is given as

y = m x + C : m = slope pf line, C is y - intercept.

Y intercept is a point on line when x = 0.

Now for the line r, slope = (-2) and y intercept = (-2)

So, the equation is given as y = -2x -2

Now for the line s, slope = (-2) and y intercept = (1)

So, the equation is given as y = -2 x + 1

Now for the line t, slope = (-2) and y intercept = (3)

So, the equation is given as y = -2 x + 3

How many ml of 1:4 solution and how many ml of sterile water are needed to prepare 600 ml of 1:20 solution ?

Answers

Answer:

Approximately 143 mL of 1:4 solution and 457 mL of water

Step-by-step explanation:

A 1:4 solution has a concentration of 1/(1+4) = 1/5 or 20%.

Similarly, a 1:20 solution has a concentration of 1/(1+20) = 1/21 or 4.76%.

If x is the mL of 20% solution and y is the mL of water, then:

x + y = 600

1/5 x = 1/21 (600)

Solve:

x = 5/21 (600)

x ≈ 143

y ≈ 457

You need approximately 143 mL of 1:4 solution and 457 mL of water.

mr wood's monthly expenses was $2.125 after he had reduced it by 15 %the oroginal monthoy expenses was 80% of his monthly income
find the original monthly expenses

Answers

Answer:

$2.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original monthly expenses be 'x'.

Given:

Reduced monthly expenses = $2.125

Reduction in monthly expenses = 15%

Therefore, remaining percentage of monthly expenses = 100 - 15 = 85%

Now, as per question:

[tex]85\%\ of\ x=2.125\\\frac{85}{100}\times x=2.125\\0.85x=2.125\\x=\frac{2.125}{0.85}=\$2.50[/tex]

Therefore, the original monthly expenses of Mr. Wood was $2.50.

Also, we can find his monthly income using the value of 'x'.

As per question, his monthly expenses is 80% of his income.

So, 80% of income = 2.5

Income = [tex]\frac{2.5}{0.80}=\$3.125[/tex]

So, his monthly income is $ 3.125

If P(x)=6x^3=13x^2+x-2, and P(-2)=0, then the factorization of P(x) is

Answers

Answer:

Factorization of [tex]P(x)=(x+2)(2x+1)(3x-1)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The given polynomial is [tex]P(x)=6x^3+13x^2+x-2[/tex]

Also, [tex]P(-2)=0[/tex]

Since, for [tex]x=-2[/tex], [tex]P(x)[/tex] is 0, therefore, [tex]x+2[/tex] is a factor of the polynomial.

Now, let us divide the given polynomial by [tex]x+2[/tex] using long division method. Therefore,

[tex]\frac{6x^3+13x^2+x-2}{x+2}=6x^2+x-1[/tex]

The process of long division is shown below.

Now, factoring the quotient [tex]6x^2+x-1[/tex], we get

[tex]6x^2+x-1=6x^2+3x-2x-1=3x(2x+1)-1(2x+1)=(3x-1)(2x+1)[/tex]

Therefore, the factors of polynomial [tex]P(x)[/tex] are [tex](x+2),(2x+1),\ and\ (3x-1)[/tex]

Hence, the factorization of [tex]P(x)[/tex] is:

[tex]P(x)=(x+2)(2x+1)(3x-1)[/tex]

A description of what Derek did wrong and what he should have done instead the correct solution graphed on a number line

Answer:

Derek did it wrong that he did not change the inequality sign while dividing both side terms of the inequality by - 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are going to solve an equation of inequality of single variable x.

We will start with, -3x + 5 > 20

⇒ -3x + 5 - 5 > 20 - 5

- 3x > 15

[tex]\frac{-3x}{-3} < \frac{15}{-3}[/tex]

x < - 5

Therefore, while dividing both side terms by -3, the inequality sign will change from > to < sign.

What is an Equation?

Equations are mathematical statements with two algebraic expressions flanking the equals (=) sign on either side.

It demonstrates the equality of the relationship between the expressions printed on the left and right sides.

Coefficients, variables, operators, constants, terms, expressions, and the equal to sign are some of the components of an equation. The "=" sign and terms on both sides must always be present when writing an equation.

Given data ,

Let the total number of cups of flour required be = A

Now , the equation will be

The number of pizza's Bill has for the party = 22 pizzas

The number of cups of flour Bill has = 16 cups

The number of cups of flour required for 1 pizza = 3/4 cups of flour

So , The total number of cups of flour for 22 pizzas = 22 x number of cups of flour required for 1 pizza

Substituting the values in the equation , we get

The total number of cups of flour for 22 pizzas = 22 x ( 3/4 )

The total number of cups of flour for 22 pizzas = 16.5 cups of flour

So , the number of cups of flour required > number of cups of flour Bill has

Therefore , the value of A is 16.5 cups

Hence , Bill does not have enough flour for the party

Emily took 39 minutes to bike the biking section of a race. It then took her 9 minutes per mile to run the running section of the race. She represented this with the equation t= 39+9m, where t represents the total time she was racing in minutes and m represents the number of miles she ran in the running section. What is the slope and the y-intercept of this data

Answers

Answer:

Slope=9, y-intercept= 39

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is already in y=mx+b form, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

(rearrange positions of 9m and 39 to get t=9m + 39)

So, the slope is 9 and the y-intercept is 39

negative 8 minus the product of three and a number is 19

Answers

Answer:

The number is -9.

Step-by-step explanation:

I set it up like this:

(-8) - 3x = 19

Then you add 8 to both sides of the equation in order to get rid of the negative 8.

(-8) + 8 - 3x = 19 + 8

After solving you would end up with this:

- 3x = 27

Then, you need to get the x by itself, so you divide by -3. In order to keep the equation equal though, you need to also divide the right side of the equation by -3.

- 3x ÷ -3 = 27 ÷ -3

Your final answer after solving would be:

x = -9

Find the solution(s) to 9x2 - 54x = 0. Check all that apply.

Answers

The solutions to the equation 9x^2 - 54x = 0 are x = 0 and x = 6, found by factoring and setting each factor equal to zero.

To find the solution(s) to the equation 9x2 - 54x = 0, we can start by factoring out the greatest common factor, which is 9x. This gives us:

9x(x - 6) = 0

Now, we set each factor equal to zero:

9x = 0x - 6 = 0

From the first equation, we divide by 9 to isolate x:

x = 0

From the second equation, we add 6 to both sides:

x = 6

Thus, the solutions to the equation are:

x = 0x = 6

a)The proportion to solve for the number of girls in the class last year will be (15-x)/x = 0.15.

b)The value of x obtained after solving the proportion is 13.043.

What is the ratio?

It is described as the comparison of two quantities to determine how many times one obtains the other. The proportion can be expressed as a fraction or as a sign: between two integers.

It is given that there are 15 girls in your class this year and there is a 15% increment from last year.

Suppose x is the number of girls in the class last year,

⇒15 = 15 % of x + x

⇒(15-x)/x = 0.15

Solving the above equation for finding the value of x,

15 - x = 0.15 x

15 = 0.15 x + x

15 = 1.15 x

x =15 / 1.15

x=13.043

Thus, the proportion to solve for the number of girls in the class last year will be (15-x)/x = 0.15, and the value of x obtained after solving the proportion is 13.043.

Answers

Answer:

Split the coins into three groups, A, B and C consisting of 3 coins in each group.

Weigh: A--B

1. If A=B, the the counterfeit is in group C

Weigh any two coins in group C and figure out the rest.

2. If A≠B, then the counterfeit is in the lighter group.

Weigh any two coins in the lighter group and figure out the rest.

Final answer:

Steven can find the counterfeit coin in just two weighings by dividing the 9 coins into 3 groups and using the balance scale.

Explanation:

Steven can find the counterfeit coin in two weighing by following these steps:

Divide the 9 coins into 3 groups of 3 coins each. Weigh the two groups of 3 coins on the balance scale. If the two groups balance, the counterfeit coin is in the third group. Weigh two of the coins from this group on the scale.If one of the coins is lighter, it is a counterfeit coin. If the scale balances, the remaining coin is the counterfeit.

By dividing the coins into three groups, Steven eliminates two-thirds of the coins after the first weighing and then narrows it down to just two coins in the second weighing.

would cost 41.44 dollars. How much is it for one bag?

Answers

Answer:

k = $41.44/7 bags = $5.92/bag

The cost of one bag of apples is 5.92 dollars.

To find the cost of one bag of apples, we can divide the total cost by the number of bags.

Given the equation [tex]\(41.44 = 7k\)[/tex], where [tex]\(k\)[/tex] represents the cost of one bag, we can solve for [tex]\(k\)[/tex] by dividing both sides of the equation by 7:

[tex]\[ k = \frac{41.44}{7} \][/tex]
