Kristen spent many days at the community pool last summer. She noticed that five out of fourteen flying insects she saw at the pool were mayflies. If Kristen saw fourteen flying insects at the pool one day, how many were mayflies? If, over several days, Kristen saw forty two flying insects, how many were mayflies? If, over a few weeks, Kristen saw thirty mayflies, how many flying insects did she see?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) 5 mayflies

(b) 15 mayflies

(c) 84 flying flies

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent Mayflies with M and the total flying insects with F

The ratio can be represented as:

[tex]M : F = 5 : 14[/tex]

Solving (a):

[tex]F = 14[/tex]

Find M

Substitute 14 for F in [tex]M : F = 5 : 14[/tex]

[tex]M : 14 = 5 : 14[/tex]

Convert to fraction

[tex]\frac{M}{14} = \frac{5}{14}[/tex]

Multiply through by 14

[tex]14 * \frac{M}{14} = \frac{5}{14} * 14[/tex]

[tex]M = 5[/tex]

Solving (b):

[tex]F = 42[/tex]

Find M

Substitute 42 for F in [tex]M : F = 5 : 14[/tex]

[tex]M : 42 = 5 : 14[/tex]

Convert to fraction

[tex]\frac{M}{42} = \frac{5}{14}[/tex]

Multiply through by 42

[tex]42 * \frac{M}{42} = \frac{5}{14} * 42[/tex]

[tex]M = \frac{5}{14} * 42[/tex]

[tex]M=5*3[/tex]

[tex]M= 15[/tex]

Solving (c):

[tex]M = 30[/tex]

Find F

Substitute 30 for M in [tex]M : F = 5 : 14[/tex]

[tex]30 : F = 5 : 14[/tex]

Convert to fraction

[tex]\frac{F}{30} = \frac{14}{5}[/tex]

Multiply through by 30

[tex]30 * \frac{F}{30} = \frac{14}{5} * 30[/tex]

[tex]F = \frac{14}{5} * 30[/tex]

[tex]F = 14*6[/tex]

[tex]F = 84[/tex]

can someone pls help me i need to know what is 2x - 1 = 7

Answers

Answer:

The solution for x would be 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

2x - 1 = 7

The value of x is unknown, but you do know that you are multiplying 2 by x. So, if you rewrite the equation as 7+1=2x, you know that 8=2x. If you then divide both sides by 2, you're left with 4=x which would mean that the variable x has a solution of 4

Consider the equation below
a + 9 =23
3b + 9 =23
6c + 9 = 23

Determine whether each statement about the equations is true or false

Answers

Answer:

1. False

2. True

3. True

4. False

Step-by-step explanation:

a + 9 = 23

a = 14

3b + 9 = 23

3b = 14

b = 14/3

6c + 9 = 23

6c = 14

c = 14/6 = 7/3

Statement 1: 3a = 14 x 3 = 42, which is not equal to b.

Statement 2: 7/3 is less than 14.

Statement 3: 2c = 7/3 x 2 = 14/3 = b.

Statement 4: 6c = 14 = 3b, so the value of 6c is not greater than 3b. It is just equal to.

The temperature was 75° Fahrenheit. The temperature dropped at a rate of 10° per hour.
What was the temperature in degrees 8 hours later?

Answers

Answer:

-5 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

you started at 75 degrees. it dropped at a rate of 10 degrees per hour. It's been eight hours. 8 times 10 equals 80. It dropped a total of 80 degrees. the starting 75 degrees minus the current 80 degrees equals -5 degrees.

Answers

Answer:

This is already as simple as it will get.  You could expand it though.  In that case you'd get:

(x + y)⁴

= (x² + 2xy + y²)²

= x⁴ + 2x³y + x²y² + 2x³y + 4x²y² + 2xy³ + x²y² + 2xy³ + y⁴

=  x⁴ + 4x³y + 6x²y² +4xy³ + y⁴

But this doesn't simplify at all.

Flying lessons on weekdays cost m dollars per hour. Flying lessons on weekends cost 1.2m dollars per hour. The expression 9m+3(1.2m) represents the to

Answers

Answer:

The cost of lesson for 9 hours on weekdays and 3 hours on weekends

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Weekdays = \$m /hour[/tex]

[tex]Weekends = \$1.2m/hour[/tex]

Required

What does 9m + 3(1.2m) represent

The expression can be split to:

9m and 3(1.2m)

For 9m:

From the question, we understand that:

[tex]m = 1\ hour[/tex]

Multiply both sides by 9

[tex]9 * m = 1\ hour * 9[/tex]

[tex]9 m = 9\ hours[/tex]

This means that:

9m = the cost of lessons for 9 hours on weekdays

For 3(1.2m):

From the question, we understand that:

[tex]1.2m = 1 \ hour[/tex]

Multiply both sides by 3

[tex]3 * 1.2m = 1 \ hour * 3[/tex]

[tex]3(1.2m) = 3 \ hours[/tex]

This means that:

3(1.2m) = the cost of lessons for 3 hours on weekends

Hence, the expression represents:

The cost of lesson for 9 hours on weekdays and 3 hours on weekends

Factor f(x) 3x^3-4x^2-28x-16 given that (x+2) is a factor

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

3x³ - 4x² - 28x - 16

= (x + 2)(Ax² + Bx + C)

= Ax³ + (2A + B)x² + (2B + C)x + 2C.

By Comparing Coefficients, we have:

A = 3,2A + B = -4,2B + C = -28,2C = -16.

Solving them will give A = 3, B = -10 and C = -8.

Hence 3x³ - 4x² - 28x - 16

= (x + 2)(3x² - 10x - 8)

= (x + 2)(3x + 2)(x - 4).

The answer is f(x) = (x + 2)(3x + 2)(x - 4).

Kayla and totsakan each improved their yards by planting hostas and shrubs. They bought their supplies from the same store. Kayla spent $80 on 8 hostas and 5 shrubs. Totsakan spent $85 on 9 hostas and 5 shrubs, find the cost of one hosta and the cost of obe shrub.

Answers

Answer: one hosta = $5

One shrub = $8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of one hosta be h

Let the cost of one shrub be s

Kayla spent $80 on 8 hostas and 5 shrubs. This can be written as:

8h + 5s = 80 ..... i

Totsakan spent $85 on 9 hostas and 5 shrubs. This can be written as:

9h + 5s = 85 ..... ii

8h + 5s = 80 ..... i

9h + 5s = 85 ..... ii

Subtract i from ii.

h = 5

The cost of one hosta is $5

Since 8h + 5s = 80

8(5) + 5s = 80

40 + 5s = 80

5s = 80 - 40

5s = 40

s = 40/5 = 8

One shrub cost $8.

Answers

Answer:

m = 4+n

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression 4 = m-n, we are to make m the subject of the formula

From the equation

4 = m-n

Rearrange

m-n = 4

Add n both sides of the equation

m-n+n = 4+n

m+0 =4+n

m = 4+n

Hence the expression for m is given as m = 4+n
