By defining and solving systems of equations, we will see that:
a) the fraction is 40/56
d) the fraction is 15/21.
How to write the equations?
We have the fraction 5/7 and we want to write it in different ways.
a) First we want to find a number a/b such that:
a/b = 5/7
a + b = 96
This is a little system of equations, to solve this, first we can rewrite the first equation as:
7a = 5b
Now we can isolate a on the second equation:
a = 96 - b
And replace that on the other equation:
7*(96 - b) = 5b
And now we can solve this for b.
672 - 7b = 5b
672 = 5b + 7b = 12b
672/12 = b = 56
And we know that:
a = 96 - b = 96 - 56 = 40
Then the fraction is 40/56
d) This time we want the denominator to be 9 less than twice the numerator.
in a/b, a is the numerator and b is the denominator.
So this time we have:
a/b = 5/7
b = 2a - 9
We can rewrite the first equation again:
7a = 5b
And then replace the other equation in the right side:
7a = 5*(2a - 9)
And now solve this for a.
7a = 10a - 45
45 = 10a - 7a = 3a
45/3 = a = 15.
And:
b = 2a - 9 = 2*15 - 9 = 21
Then the fraction is 15/21.

Camille bought 120 doughnuts for $60. Her profit was $48 once she sold 80 doughnuts. Write an
equation that represents Camille's profit P, as a function of the number of doughnuts sold, n.
PLEASE HELP WITH SHOWED WORK!!!
The equation that represents Camille's profit p as a function of the number of doughnuts sold, n is P = 1.35n - 60
How to represent an equation ?She bought 120 doughnuts for $60.
Therefore,
cost = $60
Her profit was $48 once she sold 80 doughnuts.
p = profit
n = number of doughnuts sold.
Therefore,
let
x = amount she is selling each doughnuts
p = nx - 60
Using the information given we have:
48 = (80x) - 60
Therefore,
x = $1.35
Hence, for any number of doughnuts then, we have the profit equation as follows:

Mei Mei left her house at time zero and drove for 4 minutes to the store, at a speed of 2 blocks per minute. Then she stopped and went into the store for 5 minutes. From there, she drove in the same direction at a speed of 5 blocks per minute until she got to the bank, which is 10 blocks away from the store. She stopped at the bank for 2 minutes. Then she drove home at a speed of 3 blocks every minute. Make a graph of showing the number of blocks away from home that Mei Mei is xx minutes after she leaves her house, until she gets back home.
The graph for Mei Mei' trip is attached accordingly. Also attached are the values derived from the question.
What is the explanation for the graph?The secret to comprehending the graph is to understand that every time Mei Mei spent while she was on the way to bank and back were are all computed cumulatively.
This means that when she stops at the store which is 8 blocks away from home (that is 2 blocks per min x 4 mins = 8blocks) the time spent is recorded as 4 + 5 at location 8 blocks, which is equals 9 minutes.
Also take note of the fact that the time spent is plotted on the x-axis and the blocks away from home on the y-axis.

Pool A starts with 300 gallons of water. It has a leak and is losing water at a rate of 6 gallons of water per minute. At the same time, Pool B starts with 400 gallons of water and also has a leak. It is losing water at a rate of 10 gallons per minute. The variable t represents the time in minutes. After how many minutes will the two pools have the same amount of water? How much water will be in the pools at that time?
Answer:
25 minutes
150 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
Definition of variables
Let t = time in minutes
Let V = volume in gallons
Create two equations with the given information:
Pool A
Starting volume = 330 gallonsLeak rate = 6 gallons/min⇒ V = 300 - 6t
Pool B
Starting volume = 400 gallonsLeak rate = 10 gallons/min⇒ V = 400 - 10t
To find after how many minutes the two pools will have the same amount of water, substitute the equation for pool A into the equation for pool B and solve for t:
⇒ 300 - 6t = 400 - 10t
⇒ 300 - 6t + 10t = 400 - 10t + 10t
⇒ 300 + 4t = 400
⇒ 300 + 4t - 300 = 400 - 300
⇒ 4t = 100
⇒ 4t ÷ 4 = 100 ÷ 4
⇒ t = 25
Therefore, the two pools will have the same amount of water after 25 minutes.
To find how much water will be in the pools at that time, substitute the found value of t into one of the equations and solve for V:
⇒ V = 400 - 10t
⇒ V = 400 - 10(25)
⇒ V = 400 - 250
⇒ V = 150
Therefore, the amount of water in the pools at the time when they have the same amount of water is 150 gallons.
If time be x and volume be y
The equations are
y=300-6ty=400-10tEquate and solve
300-6t=400-10t4t=100t=25minNow
y=400-10(25)y=400-250y=150gallonsA four line classified ad costs 25 for a week. Each additional line costs 2. What is the weekly cost for a 12 line ad
Answer: 41
Step-by-step explanation:
If each line costs 2, then for the four-line ad, the cost is the initial price plus 4(2), meaning the initial cost is 25-8=17.
Thus, the cost of a 12-line ad is 17+2(12)=41

Step-by-step explanation:
a) 74.857% of adult men are shorter than Michael
b) 84.134% of adult men are taller than Jack
c) 58.991% of adult men are of height between Jack and Michael
What is 68-95-99.7 rule?Within one standard deviation of the mean is 68% of the population. Within two standard deviations of the mean, 95% of the population is located. The median is within 3 standard deviations for 99.7% of the population.
Given:
µ = 70in, σ = 3in.
We know Z = (x-µ)/σ
a) Actor Michael B. Jordan is 6’0” (72”) tall.
Z = (72-70)/3 = 0.67
So, the probability of an adult man having a height of 0-72 inches, and no greater is 74.857%
b. Comedian Jack Black is 5’7’ (67”) tall.
Z = (67-70)/3 = -1
The corresponding value is .15866 which can be the probability of an adult man having a height of 0-67 inches, and no greater.
But the percentage of those taller than jack is = 1 – .15866 = 0.84134
c) P(X < 72) – P(x < 67)
= 0.74857 – 0.15866
= 0.58991

4. Fill in the blanks for the following proof:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Identify the Property of Equality that is used in each statement.
If x=2, then 2x = 4.
5= 3a; therefore, 3a = 5.
If T=4, then 5T + 7 equals 27.
If 9 = 4x and 4x = m, then 9 = m.
Step-by-step explanation:
x = 2. 2(x) = 2(2). 2x= 4. Multiplication Property of Equality (if you have two equals sides and then multiply them by the same quantity both sides will remain equal)
5=3a therefore 3a = 5. Symmetric Property if a=b then b=a
T = 4 => 5T = 20 (Multiplication Property of Equality) => 5T + 7 = 27 (Addition Property of Equality. basically if two sides are equal and you add the same quantity they will remain equal)
Last one is transitive property which states. if a=b and b=c then a=c so in this case a would be 9, b would be 4x and c would be m
