Today the ratio of elinor's age is 3:8 to his mother after 15 years ,the ratio will become 6:11. Find elinor's age today and find her mothers age after 15 years.

Answers

Answer 1

Given

ratio of elinor's age to his mother is 3 : 8

after 15 years

 the ratio will become 6:11

Find out the  elinor's age today and find her mothers age after 15 years.

To proof

As given in the question

ratio of elinor's age to his mother is 3 : 8

let x be the variable describe age.

let the elinor age = 3x

let the mother age = 8x

after 15 years

ratio will become 6:11

[tex]\frac{elinor\ age + 15 }{Mother\ age + 15 } = \frac{6}{11}[/tex]

As assume ealier elinor age be 3x and mother age be 8x

put this in the above equation

we get

[tex]\frac{3x + 15 }{8x + 15 } = \frac{6}{11}[/tex]

now sloving the above equation

we get

11 ( 3x + 15) = 6 ( 8x + 15 )

33x + 165 = 48x + 90

75 = 15x

[tex]x = \frac{75}{15}[/tex]

x = 5

Therefore

elinor's age today = 3x

                              = 3 × 5

                              = 15years

mothers age after 15 years = 8x + 15

                                              = 8× 5 + 15

                                              = 40 + 15

                                              = 55years

Hence proved

 

Answer 2
Final answer:

The problem is about solving a system of equations established from the given ratios of Elinor's and her mother's ages. Substitution method is used to find their present ages, and to find mother's age after 15 years, we add 15 to her current age.

Explanation:

This is a problem related to ratios and ages, which can be solved as an algebraic system of equations. Let's denote Elinor's present age as 'e' and her mother's age as 'm'. Then, from the problem we know that:

e/m = 3/8 (1), and

(e+15)/(m+15) = 6/11 (2).

From equation (1), we can express e as (3/8)m. We then substitute e in equation (2) to find the value of 'm'. Once we have 'm', we substitute its value in equation (1) to get 'e'. And to find her mother's age after 15 years, we add 15 to 'm'.

In one study, it was found that the correlation coefficient between two variables is -0.93.

Which statement is true?

A. There is a weak positive association between the variables.

B. There is a weak negative association between the variables.

C. There is a strong positive association between the variables.

D. There is a strong negative association between the variables.

Answers

the answer is b) a weak negative association between the variables
Final answer:

The correlation coefficient of -0.93 suggests a strong negative association between the two variables. Thus, option D is the correct answer.

Explanation:

In the study, it was found that the correlation coefficient between two variables is -0.93, implying a strong relationship between the two variables. But because the coefficient value is negative, it means that there's a strong negative association between the variables. In other words, as one variable increases, the other decreases, and vice versa.

A correlation coefficient ranges from -1 to 1. The strength of the correlation is determined by the absolute value of the coefficient - the closer to 1 (or -1), the stronger the correlation. Positive values indicate a direct relationship, where both variables move in the same direction, while negative values indicate an inverse relationship, where the variables move in opposite directions.

Therefore, in your given options, the right choice is D. There is a strong negative association between the variables.

Jane, Andre, and Maria pick apples. Andre picks 3 times as many pounds as Maria. Jane picks 2 times as many pounds as Andre. The total weight of the apples is 840 pounds. How many pounds of apples does Andre pick?
A) 84 pounds
B) 252 pounds
C) 504 pounds
D) 840 pounds

Answers

Let Maria = X

Andre = 3x ( 3 times as many as Maria)

Jane = 2(3x) = 6x ( 2 times as many as Andre)


All 3 need to equal 840 pounds:

X + 3x + 6X = 840

Combine like terms:

10X = 840

Divide both sides by 10:

X = 840 / 10

X = 84


Maria = X = 84 pounds

Andre = 3x = 3(84) = 252 pounds

Jane = 6x = 6(84) = 504 pounds


504 + 252 + 84 = 840 pounds.


Andre picked 252 pounds.

The area of a quadrilateral is expressed as

A=L*B

Where L=length

B=breadth or width

I. e assuming it has two of its sides equal

Say given area is

A=L*B=8.4 square feet

The graph of a function is shown below these choices.

Select all the statements that correctly describe this function.



The equation that represents this function is f(x)=−7x+1.


The equation that represents this function is f(x)=x−7.


The range of this function is increasing as the domain increases.


The range of this function is decreasing as the domain increases.

Answers

Answer:

The equation that represents this function is f(x)=x−7.The range of this function is increasing as the domain increases.

Step-by-step explanation:

The line in the graph has a rise of 1 for each run of 1, so its slope is 1/1 = 1. The slope (x-coefficient) of the function f(x) = -7x+1 is -7, so that is not the function shown in the graph.

The wording "the range ... is increasing as the domain increases" is a bit unusual. Usually "domain" and "range" refer to intervals or sets of values over which the function is defined. While it is true that extending the interval of definition (domain) of the function will extend the range of values it produces, we suspect this is supposed to suggest that the slope of the line is positive. (As you pick increasing elements from the domain, the function will map those values to increasing elements of the range.)

Write as a decimal . Tell whether the decimal terminates or repeats. 7/9

Answers

7 divides by 9 is equal to .7 repeating (so draw a line over the 7 to show that it is repeating)

The fraction 7/9 converts to the decimal 0.77777778, which is a repeating decimal as the digit '7' repeats infinitely.

To convert the fraction 7/9 to a decimal, divide 7 by 9. So, when you divide 7 by 9, the answer you get is 0.77777778. This decimal does not terminate (come to an end after a specific number of decimal spaces), instead it repeats. Specifically, the digit '7' repeats indefinitely, so we can say its a repeating decimal.

As an example, if you consider 1/2, when you divide 1 by 2 it gives 0.5, which is a decimal that terminates. However, in our case - when we divided 7 by 9 it gave us 0.77777778 which repeats, hence it is a repeating decimal, not a terminating decimal. This is the key difference between repeating and terminating decimals.

The mathematical expression "the product of x and the sum of 6 and 8 times the square of x" is represented as [tex]\( x \cdot (6 + 8x^2) \)[/tex].

An equation describes that both sides of the variables and constants are in different forms but they are equal.

To determine if each given point is contained in the graph of the equation Y = (1/2)x + 3/4 we will put the values of x in the equation and determine the corresponding value of y.

When x = 0, y = (3/4).

When x = (3/4), y = 9/8.

When x = 1/2, y = 1.

Answer with Explanation:

If a consistent system has an infinite number of solutions, it is dependent . When you graph the equations, both equations represent the same line.

If a system has no solution, it is said to be inconsistent . Represent parallel lines.

1)   8x + y + 4 = 0  

       y = -8x - 4

If we solve equation 8x + y + 4 = 0  for y, we get

y = -8x -4

So, both equations are same. That means both lines are same. So infinite many solutions.

System is consistent


2) Both line slope are same and parallel to each other.

So,  no solution

System is  inconsistent.


3) Both equation represent the same line. So, infinite many solution.

System is consistent.


4)  Both lines are intersect at a point.

Intersection point is (7,0).
