Ms Cohen gave a riddle: A string is 2 meters longer than a rod. Half of the rod is 1 meter shorter than half of the string. Is this true or false?

Answers

Answer 1
We are going to define the following variables.
 y: length of the string.
 x: length of the rod.
 We have the following equation:
 y = x + 2
 Half of the rod is 1 meter shorter than half of the string
 x/2 = y/2-1
 Let's rewrite equation 1 to see if it's true:
 y = x + 2
 (1/2) * y = (1/2) * (x + 2)
 (1/2) * y = (1/2) * x + 1
 (1/2) * x = (1/2) * y-1
 Answer
 this is true
 (1/2) * x = (1/2) * y-1

Determine the rigid transformations that will map ΔABC to ΔXYZ.

a. Translate vertex B to vertex Z; reflect ΔABC across side AB.
b. Translate vertex X to vertex C; rotate ΔXYZ to align the sides and angles.
c. Reflect ΔABC across side AB; translate vertex C to vertex X.
d. Translate vertex X to vertex A; rotate ΔXYZ to align the sides and angles.

Answers

Solution: The correct option is d, i.e., Translate vertex X to vertex A; rotate ΔXYZ to align the sides and angles.

Explanation:

we know that the sum of angles of a triangle is always [tex]180^{\circ}[/tex]. In ΔXYZ,

[tex]\angle X +\angle Y +\angle Z=180^{\circ}[/tex]

[tex]35^{\circ} +\angle Y +47^{\circ}=180^{\circ}[/tex]

[tex]\angle Y +82^{\circ}=180^{\circ}[/tex]

[tex]\angle Y =98^{\circ}[/tex]

In both triangles it is noticed that the sides AC and XZ are equal. In given triangles [tex]\angle A =\angle X=35^{\circ}[/tex] and [tex]\angle B =\angle Y=98^{\circ}[/tex].

By AAS rule of congruence ΔABC and ΔXYZ are congruent triangles, therefore we can transform ΔABC to ΔXYZ. For the transformation of ΔABC to ΔXYZ translate the vertex having same angle and rotate the triangle to align the sides and angles.

Since vertex X and vertex A have same angle, therefore we translate vertex X to vertex A and rotate ΔXYZ to align the sides and angles.

Hence the correct option is d.

Then l=3h=3×4=12

The length of the rectangle will be 12 units.

What is a rectangle?

The rectangle is a geometrical figure in which opposite sides are equal.

The angle between any two consecutive sides will be 90 degrees.

Area of rectangle = length × width.

Perimeter of ractangle = 2( length + width).

Let say,

Length = l   and   width = w

Given,

length of a rectangle is 3 times the width

l = 3w

The difference between the length and the width is 8 feet

l - w = 8

By equation 1 and 2

3w - w = 8

2w = 8

w = 4

Substitute into equation 1

l = 3(4)

l = 12 units.

So the length of the rectangle will be 12 units.

Todd Gunderson went into a partnership with two of his friends. Manny and Jose, to share a route delivering newspapers. Manny owns 1/4 of the partnership, while Jose has a 1/5 interest. If the partnership's monthly revenue amounts to $765, how much of that is Todd's? Round to the nearest cent.

Answers

To solve you must find how much of the route todd has and multiply that by the total revenue.

Todd + Manny + Jose = 1

X + 1/4 + 1/5 = 1 

Change fractions to decimals for easier solving

x +.25 +.20 = 1

combine like terms

x+ .45 = 1

Subtract .45 from both sides

x=.55 

todd has 55% of the shares

A company has determined that the number of items it sells varies inversely as the price of the item. If 20,000 items can be sold if the price is $9.50, how many items can be sold of the price is $8.75? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

Answers

Let N be the number of items sold and p the price. 
Since the variation is inverse, then the relation between N and p is:
[tex]N=k\dfrac{1}{p}[/tex]
For N=20000 and p = $9.5, we get the formula:
 [tex]20000=k\dfrac{1}{9.5}\\p=20000\times9.5=190000[/tex]
If p = 8.75, then the number of items sold can be computed using the formula:
[tex]N= 190000\dfrac{1}{8.75}=21714 \text{ total items}[/tex]

Find the probability when a couple has 6 children at at least one of them is a boy

Note: P_all_the_g=[needed_cases]/[all_possible_cases], where needed cases=1 (all the girls means 'gggggg'), and all possible cases=2⁶=64 (all possible cases means 'gggggg';'bbbbbb';gbbbbb';'ggbbbb';'gggbbb';'ggggbb';gggggb';'bggggg', etc. Total 64 combinations.)

The probability when a couple has 6 children at at least one of them is a boy is 63/64

First step

Probability  of all 6 girls=(1/2)^6

Probability  of all 6 girls = 1/64

Second step is to determine the probability at least one of them is a boy

Let at least one boy means not all girls

Hence:

P(all girls)+P(not all girls)=1

P(at least 1 boy)=1-P(all girls)

P(at least 1 boy)=1-1/64

P(at least 1 boy)=63/64

Answers

If its 6% interest, then the answer would be $6,466. You would do this by multiplying 0.06 to 6100 and adding the product (366) to 6100.

General Idea:

The formula to find the Amount 'A' that need to be paid after ' t ' years for a Principal ' P ' with a annual rate of interest ' r ' is given below:

[tex] A= P(1+r \cdot t) [/tex]

Applying the concept:

Annie's cafe borrows $6100 at 6% for 290 days.

From the above statement we can conclude,...

[tex] P= \$6100\\ \\ r=6\%\\ \\ t=\frac{260}{365} [/tex]

Substituting the values of P, r and t in the formula, we get...

[tex] A=6100 \cdot (1+6 \% \cdot \frac{260}{365} )\\ \\ A=6100(1+\frac{6}{100} \cdot \frac{260}{365} )=6100(1+\frac{1560}{36500} ) \approx 6361 [/tex]

Simplify 10/16 to lowest terms and find an equivalent fraction that has a denominator of 32?

Answers

Answer:

The lowest fraction for [tex]\frac{10}{16}[/tex] is [tex]\frac{5}{8}[/tex] and a equivalent fraction with denominator of 32 is [tex]\frac{20}{32}[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

First, to have the fraction to the lowest terms we will have to divide the numerator and denominator by 2, this is:

[tex]\frac{10/2}{16/2}=\frac{5}{8}[/tex]

As can be seen the expression couldn't be simplified more because there is no a common number that could divide the numerator and denominator.

Second, to have an equivalent fraction with 32 in the denominator we will have to multiply the denominator by 2 and of course the numerator, this is:

[tex]\frac{10*2}{16*2}=\frac{20}{32}[/tex]

The lowest fraction for [tex]\frac{10}{16}[/tex] is [tex]\frac{5}{8}[/tex] and a equivalent fraction with denominator of 32 is [tex]\frac{20}{32}[/tex].

Final answer:

To simplify 10/16 to lowest term, it becomes 5/8. An equivalent fraction of 5/8 with 32 as the denominator is 20/32.

Explanation:

To simplify 10/16 to its lowest term, we have to find the greatest common divisor of 10 and 16, which is 2. Hence, when we divide both the numerator and the denominator by 2, we get 10/2 = 5 and 16/2 = 8. So, the fraction 10/16 simplified to its lowest term is 5/8.

Now, to find an equivalent fraction with 32 as the denominator, we need to multiply both the numerator and the denominator of 5/8 by the same number so as not to change the value of the fraction. Here, we multiply by 4 (since, 8*4 = 32) to get 5*4 = 20 on the numerator. Therefore, an equivalent fraction of 5/8 with 32 as the denominator is 20/32.

when an aircraft takes off, it accelerates until it reaches its takeoff speed V. in doing so it uses up a distance R of the runway, where R is proportional to the square of the of the takeoff speed. if V is measured in miles per hour and R is measured in feet, then 0.1639 is the constant of proportionality. if an aircraft has a takeoff speed of about 215 miles per hour, how much runway does it need?

Answers

Answer: 36.22 feet

Explanation:

Two quantities are proportional if and only if their ratio is constant. Since V and the square of R are proportional, then the ratio of V to the square of R is constant. In terms of equation:

[tex] \frac{V}{R^2} = k[/tex]

For some constant k.

Since the constant of proportionality is equal to 0.1639, k = 0.1639. Moreover, since the takeoff speed of the aircraft needs to be 215 miles per hour, the runway needed is will be obtained by solving for R in the following equation:

[tex]\frac{V}{R^2} = k \\ \\ V = kR^2 \\ \\ R^2 = \frac{V}{k} \\ \\ R = \sqrt{\frac{V}{k}} \\ \\ R = \sqrt{\frac{215}{0.1639}} \\ \\ \boxed{R = 36.22 \text{ feet}} [/tex]

Hence, a runway of 36.22 feet is needed for the aircraft to have a takeoff speed of 215 miles per hour.

Answers

If there are 2 people sharing 1/3 lb, the answer is not 0.3333. 

1/2 * 1/3 = 1/6 = 0.167

1/2 * 1/3 = n = 0.167

Answer with explanation:

1)

If we divide 1/3 pounds equally among two people then each of them will get a share of:

[tex]\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{1}{3}\\\\=\dfrac{1}{6}\\\\=0.1666\ pounds[/tex]

Hence,the given answer that each will get 0.3333 pounds is incorrect.

There is 12/15 of a pizza left. How many 3/10 pieces can be made from the leftover pizza? Show work please!

Answers


How many 1/3 pieces can be made from 2 pizzas, we know it is 6 and it is arrived by dividing 2 by 1/3 or multiplying by its reciprocal 3/1.

Hence to find how many 3/10 pieces can be made from 12/15 pizza, we have to divide 12/15 by 3/10 or multiplying by its reciprocal 10/3, i.e.

12/15 times 10/3= 8/3 or 2  2/3 

What does that mean? This means that while 2 three-tenths pieces can be made, 2/3of 3/10 i.e. 2/3×3/10=2/10=1/5 or one-fifth of pizza will be left out.

So the answer is 2 three-tenths pieces can be made, and one-fifth pizza will be left out.

After 5 months, the number of subscribers to a newspaper was 5,730. After 7 months, the number of subscribers to the newspaper was 6,022. Which equation models the number of newspaper subscribers y after x months? y = –146x – 5,000 y = 146x + 5,000 y = 146x – 5,000 y = –146x + 5,000

Answers

From the information given in the problem we can create a linear model like this: The [tex]x-axis[/tex] will represent the months and the [tex]y-axis[/tex] the subscribers. From the problem we know that after 5 months, the number of subscribers to a newspaper was 5,730, so [tex] x_{1} =7[/tex] and [tex] y_{1} =5730[/tex]. We also know that after 7 months, the number of subscribers to the newspaper was 6,022, so [tex] x_{2} =7[/tex] and [tex] y_{2} =6022[/tex].
Remember that the slope of a line is [tex]m= \frac{y_{2}-y _{1} }{ x_{2} - x_{1} } [/tex]. since we already found those values, lets replace them to find our slope:
[tex]m= \frac{6022-5730}{7-5} [/tex]
[tex]m= \frac{292}{2} [/tex]
[tex]m=146[/tex]

To create our linear model we are going to use the point-slope equation [tex]y- y _{1} =m(x- x_{1} )[/tex]. Notice that we have all the values, so the only thing left is plug them in our equation: 
[tex]y-6022=146(x-5)[/tex]
[tex]y-5730=146x-730[/tex]
[tex]y=146x-730+5730[/tex]
[tex]y=146x+5000[/tex]

We can conclude that the equation which models the number of newspaper subscribers [tex]y[/tex] after [tex]x[/tex] months is [tex]y=146x+5000[/tex]
