Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]D = 1 - \frac{1}{4}[/tex]

[tex]D = \frac{3}{4}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

1 bag of potting soil

[tex]Peat Moss = \frac{1}{4}[/tex]

Required

What part is dirt?

The whole bag of potting soil is represented as 1;

Let P represent Peat Moss and D represented Dirt; Such that

[tex]P + D = 1[/tex]

Subtract P from both sides

[tex]P - P + D = 1 - P[/tex]

[tex]D = 1 - P[/tex]

Substitute [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] for P

[tex]D = 1 - \frac{1}{4}[/tex]

Take LCM

[tex]D = \frac{4-1}{4}[/tex]

[tex]D = \frac{3}{4}[/tex]

Hence, [tex]1 - \frac{1}{4}[/tex] or [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] of the potting soil is Dirt

A restaurant bill is $27.50. If the sales tax is 7.5% and a 20% tip is added, what is the total cost of the meal?

(PLEASE ANSWER ASAP)

Answers

Answer:

35.06

Step-by-step explanation:

So you  have to multiply 27.50 by 0.075 to find the sales tax.

2.0625 ≈ 2.06

If the tip is off the original price, you multiply 27.50 by 0.2.

5.5

The whole meal is 27.50 + 5.50 + 2.06 = 35.06

Total cost of meal is $35.06.

What is percentage?

A figure or ratio that may be stated as a fraction of 100 is a percentage. If we need to calculate a percentage of a number, we should divide it by its entirety and then multiply it by 100. The proportion therefore refers to a component per hundred. Per 100 is what the word percent means. The letter "%" stands for it.

Given that,

The bill amount = $27.50

tax amount = 7.5%

tip amount = 20%

Now 7.5 % of bill amount

=  27.50x 7.5/100

=  27.50 x 0.075

=2.0625

≈ 2.06

Now 20% of bill amount is

= 27.50 x 20/100

= 27.50x0.2

= 5.5

Now,

The total cost

=  27.50 + 5.50 + 2.06

= 35.06

Hence $35.06 is the total cost.

Answer:

x = 50 degree found by working out c and d

y = 35 degree

z = 105 degree

Step-by-step explanation:

c is solved 180-85 = 95 as all straight lines equal (180)

d is solved 85-35 = 50 as it is alternate of c (85)

x is found  85 - 35 = 50 degree as it is part of d and not supplementary

y is found  180-95 = 85 then 85-50 = 35 as angles are adjacent and add up to 180 degree.

z is found 180-75 = 105 as angles are adjacent and add upto 180 degree but z is also alternate to missing c angle

A 10 ft long ladder has one end that leans against a wall and another that rests on the ground 6 feet from the wall. How high on the wall does the ladder rest?

Answers

Answer:

One end of the ladder rests at 8 feet on the wall.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the figure attached,

AC is a ladder 10 feet long leaning against the wall.

Distance of it's one end from the wall = 6 feet

Let the ladder rests on the wall at the height = h feet

By applying Pythagoras theorem in ΔABC,

(Hypotenuse)² = (Leg 1)² + (Leg 2)²

AC² = AB² + BC²

(10)² = h² + 6²

h² = 100 - 36

h = √64

h = 8 feet

Therefore, one end of the ladder rests at 8 feet on the wall.

Sharon drops a rubber ball from a height of 48 feet. Every bounce sends the
ball half as high as it was before.

What is the total vertical (up and down) distance the ball has traveled, from
the moment it is dropped to the moment it hits the floor for the fourth time?

(Do not include units in your answer.)

Answers

Answer:

132

Step-by-step explanation:

48 first hit and rises 24

24 second and rises 12

12 third hit and rises 6

6 forth hit

48+24+24+12+12+6+6= 132

After the 4th hit the total distance up and down covered by the ball will be 90 feet.

Why the ball is bouncing back less and less distance upward after every drop ?

Some of the kinetic energy of the ball has been transferred by the ball to the ground after each drop also when it is in the process of going upwards force of gravity is working on the opposite direction which is downwards.

There are other factors too ask your physics teacher if you are more curious.

According to the given question

First time it has been dropped from a height of 48 feet as at every bounce it bounces back half of it's value it will go up to 24 feet repeating this process of bouncing back for the fourth time

It will be (48 + 24 + 12 + 6) = 90 feet

In this hanger, the weight of the triangle is x and the weight of the square is y.

a. Write an equation using x and y to represent the hanger.
B. If x is 6, what is y ?

Answers

Answer:

a. -3x = -2y

When x=6, y=9

Step-by-step explanation:

From the hanger, There are two sides

If x=triangle and y=square

First side has 1 triangle and 3 squares

It can be represented by

x+3y

Second side has 4 triangles and 1 square

It can be represented by

4x+y

Equate the first and second side

x+3y=4x+y

Collect like terms

x+3y-4x-y=0

-3x+2y=0

-3x=-2y

Find y when x=6

-3(6)=-2y

-18=-2y

Divide both sides by -2

-18/-2=-2y/-2

9=y

y=9

The value of y when x = 6 is 9

Given that the weight of the triangle is x and the weight of the square is y.

For the hanger at the left, the resulting equation will be:

x + 3y (1 triangle and 3 square)

For the right-hand side

4x + y (4 triangles and 1 square)

Equating both expressions

x + 3y = 4x + y

x - 4x = -2y

-3x = -2y

3x = 2y

If x = 6, hence;

3(6) = 2y

2y = 18

y = 9

Hence the value of y when x = 6 is 9

Find the area of the shaded regions. Give your answer as a completely simplified exact value in terms of π (no approximations).

Answers

Answer:

(40/3)*pi

Step-by-step explanation:

lets first find the area of the little circle

A=pi*r^2

A=pi*3^2

A=9pi

Now, lets find the area of the big circle

A=pi*r^2

A=pi*(3+4)^2

A=pi*7^2

A=49pi

now lets subtract the area of the little circle from the area of the big circle

49pi-9pi=40pi, now we found the area of the "bagel)

lets find what portion of the bagel is the shaded region

120/360=1/3

now lets multiply the bagel area by the fraction

40pi*(1/3)=

(40/3)*pi   or  (40*pi)/3

Area of the shaded regions is equal to 7π/3

What is the area and circumference of a circle?

The circumference (or) perimeter of a circle = 2πr units. The area of a circle = πr2 square units. Where r is the radius of the circle. The circumference of the circle or the perimeter of the circle is the measurement of the boundary of the circle. Whereas the area of the circle defines the region occupied by the circle.

Given here: radius of the smaller circle= 3 and larger circle =4 cm

Now A = (θ/360°) × πr2

θ is the sector angle subtended by the arcs at the center (in degrees), r is the radius of the circle. If the subtended angle θ is in radians, the area is given by, A = 1/2 × r² × θ.

Thus we have  Area ADBC= 1/2 × 16×2π/3 -1/2×9×2π/3

                                              =16π/3 -3π

                                               =7π/3

Hence, Area of the shaded regions is equal to 7π/3

Roger has 3.10 consisting of quarters dimes and nickles. The number of nickles was 3 less than the number of dimes. The number of dimes was 5 more than the number of quarters. How many coins of each type did he use?

Please help me, thank you very much!! <3

Answers

Answer:

5 dimes 2 nickels 10 quarters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n = number of nickels

      d = number of dimes

      q = number of quarters

n = d - 3 (The number of nickles was 3 less than the number of dimes)

d= q - 5 (The number of dimes was 5 more than the number of quarters)

0.05n + 0.1d + 0.25q = 3.1

Use substitution:

n=q-8

0.05n + 0.1d + 0.25q = 3.1

0.05(q-8) + 0.1(q-5) + 0.25q = 3.1

0.05q-.4 + 0.1q -.5 +0.25q = 3.1

0.4q-0.9=3.1

0.4q=4

q = 10

n =q-8    n = 10-8     n=2

d=q - 5     d = 10-5     d = 5
