Rachel has 60 scones. She sells them to Robbie, Cameron, Louis, Tom and Charlie in that order. Each customer buys more scones then the last and the increase is the same number in each case. Robbie and Cameron's combined total number of scones is three sevenths of the total of Louis, Tom and Charlie. How many scones does each boy buy?

Answers

Answer 1
Robbie bought the smallest amount. Let's use x for that amount.
Let's use n for amount that each following customer increases.

We have:
Robbie=x
Cameron=x+n
Louis=x+n+n
Tom=x+n+n+n
Charlie=x+n+n+n+n

We know that they bought total of 60 scones.
Robbie + Cameron + Louis + Tom + Charlie = 60
x + x+n + x+n+n + x+n+n+n + x+n+n+n+n = 60
5x + 10n = 60 /:5
x + 2n = 12

We are also given this information:
(Robbie + Cameron) = 3/7 * (Louis + Tom + Charlie)
We insert the equations from above:
(x + x+n) = 3/7 * (x+n+n + x+n+n+n + x+n+n+n+n) 
2x + n = 3/7 * (3x + 9n) /*7
14x + 7n = 3* (3x + 9n)
14x +7n = 9x + 27n
We take everything on the left side.
14x + 7n - 9x - 27n = 0
5x - 20n = 0/:5
x - 4n = 0

Now we have two equations:
x + 2n = 12
x - 4n = 0
We solve second one for x and insert it into first one.
x + 2n = 12
x = 4n

4n + 2n =12
6n = 12 /:6
n = 2
x=4*2
x=8


Now we can solve for the amount for each customer.
Robbie=x = 8
Cameron=x+n = 8 + 2 = 10
Louis=x+n+n = 8 + 2 + 2 = 12
Tom=x+n+n+n = 8 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 14
Charlie=x+n+n+n+n = 8 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 16

Rewrite 0.434343... as a fraction

Answers

Final answer:

The repeating decimal 0.434343... can be rewritten as a fraction by defining the decimal as a variable, manipulating the equation, and finally isolating the variable to find that the fraction form of 0.434343... is 43/99.

Explanation:

To rewrite the repeating decimal 0.434343... as a fraction, we first define the repeating decimal as a variable, let's call it x = 0.434343.... Then, to isolate the repeating section, we multiply x by 100, given the two-digit repeat, which gives us 100x = 43.434343.... By subtracting the original equation from this new one, we get: 99x = 43, because 100x - x = 43.434343... - 0.434343... simplifies to 99x = 43. Dividing both sides by 99 gives us x = 43/99, which is the fraction form of the repeating decimal.

To rewrite the repeating decimal 0.434343... as a fraction, we first denote it as x. Next, we can subtract the non-repeating part from the repeating part to get a new number, y. Then, we can express x and y as fractions and solve for the repeating fraction part.

First, if ordered pairs are in the form of (x,y) then the first one means plug in x with 0. If you do that, you get y= -10(0)+18. Simplify to get y=18. So, for the first one, it is (0,18). For the next one, you plug in 1 for x. So, y=-10(1)+18. Simplify to get y=-10+18. Simplify again to get y=8. So the second one is (1,8). For the last one you have only the y value, so plug in 78 for y. So, 78=-10x+18. We want to isolate x, so subtract 18 from both sides. You get 60=-10x. Now divide by -10 to get -6=x. So, the last ordered pair is (-6,78)

a box of crackers has a volume of 48 cubic inches. what is the volume of a similar box that is smaller by a scale factor of 2/3

Answers

For this case what you need to know is that the original volume of the cookie box is:
 V = (w) * (l) * (h)
 Where,
 w: width
 l: long
 h: height.
 We have then:
 V = (w) * (l) * (h) = 48 in ^ 3
 The volume of a similar box is:
 V = (w * (2/3)) * (l * (2/3)) * (h * (2/3))
 We rewrite:
 V = ((w) * (l) * (h)) * ((2/3) * (2/3) * (2/3))
 V = (w) * (l) * (h) * ((2/3) ^ 3)
 V = 48 * ((2/3) ^ 3)
 V = 14.22222222 in ^ 3
 Answer:
 the volume of a similar box that is smaller by a scale factor of 2/3 is:
 V = 14.22222222 in ^ 3

When it says 'which has a greater rate of change' it is referring to 'what has a greater slope.' So, let's calculate each thing's slope:

Table:
I'm going to pick the easiest values to work with, so I'll pick the points (0, -2) and (1, -9/5) - I simplified the mixed fraction. So, here we go, the slope formula is:
[tex] m =\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} [/tex]
[tex]m = \frac{- \frac{9}{5} - (-2)}{1-0} = \frac{- \frac{9}{5} - ( -\frac{10}{5} )}{1-0}[/tex]
[tex] m = \frac{ \frac{1}{5} }{1} = \frac{1}{5} [/tex]

So, the table's slope is -1/5.

Graph
We can, again, pick two points. I'll pick the two given: (5, 0) and (0, -3).  Let's start off with the same formula:
[tex] m =\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} [/tex]
[tex]m = \frac{-3-0}{0-5} = \frac{3}{5} [/tex]

The graph's slope is 3/5.

Now, we just have to decide which is bigger: -1/5 or 3/5. So, clearly:
3/5 > -1/5. 

The 3/5 slope was the graph, hence it has the greater rate of change (that's why it's B). If anything doesn't make sense, feel free to DM me or ask!

Let E be the point of intersection of the diagonals of a parallelogram. The lengths of the line segments from E to two of the parallelogram’s vertices are 3 meters and 4 meters. What are the lengths of the segments from E to the other two vertices of the parallelogram? Justify your answer.

Answers

The length is going to be 3m and 4m.
The diagonals of a parallelogram has the following property:

They bisect each other. Which means each diagonal divides the other diagonal in two equal halves.

So, the point of intersection of two diagonals is the midpoint of both diagonals. If the distance from that point of intersection E, to the vertices of parallelogram is 3 meters and 4 meters, the distance from E to opposite vertices will also be the same i.e. 3 meters and 4 meters respectively, because the diagonals bisect each other.

What are ratio and proportion?

A ratio is a collection of ordered integers a and b represented as a/b, with b never equaling zero. A proportionate expression is one in which two items are equal.

A gardener can plant 17 seeds in 25 minutes at that rate.

We know that the ratio of time and number of seed plantations will remain the same.

Let T be the time and S be the number of seed plantations.

T / S = 25 / 17

If the gardener plants 51 seeds, then the time taken will be

T / 51 = 25 / 17

T = 1275 / 17

T = 75 minutes

If the gardener plants 51 seeds, then the time taken will be 75 minutes.

" S.A. = 2 [tex] \pi [/tex] r² + 2[tex] * \pi [/tex] * r * h " ;

in which:   [tex] \pi [/tex] = 3.14 (we shall use this approximation) ;

We can count the amount of lines between the dots to determine how much fencing he will need. After counting the perimeter of this figure, we see that the total is 22. We do not know what the units are, so for now we can just say that he will need 22 units of fencing to fully enclose this shape.
