There are some pencils and erasers in a
box. If there are 12 pencils and the ratio
of pencils to erasers is 3:2, how many
erasers are in the box?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

There are 8 erasers in the box

Step-by-step explanation:

given that the Ratio of pencils to erasers is  3:2

No matter how many pencils and erasers are there the ratio will simplify to the given ratio.

Let x be the number of erasers when there are 12 pencils

The ratio of 12 pencils to x erasers will be same 3:2

Putting it mathematically

[tex]\frac{pencils}{erasers} = \frac{pencils}{erasers}\\\frac{12}{x} = \frac{3}{2}\\12 * 2 = 3x\\3x = 24\\\frac{3x}{3} = \frac{24}{3}\\x = 8[/tex]

Hence,

There are 8 erasers in the box

Answer:

change in y change in x

The change in x

is equal to the difference in x-coordinates (also called run), and the change in y

is equal to the difference in y-coordinates

m=y2−y1x2−x1

Substitute in the values of x

and y

into the equation to find the slope.

m=−4−(4)−3−(6)

m=8/9

For a soccer practice, the coach set up four cones, labeled W, X, Y, and Z, to mark the edges of the rectangular field. Suppose the field is drawn on a coordinate plane, where the x- and y-values represent the position, in yards, from the center of the field, which is located at (0, 0). The location of the cones are as follows. Cone W is located at (-38, -53). Cone X is located at (-38, 53). Cone Y is located at (38, 53). Cone Z is located at (38, -53). What is the perimeter of the field? A. 364 yards B. 8,056 yards C. 182 yards D. 38 yards

Answers

Answer:

A. 364 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between two points  [tex]A(x_1,y_1)\ and\ B(x_2,y_2)[/tex] on the coordinate plane is given as:

[tex]|AB|=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}[/tex]

The cone W, X, Y and Z form a rectangle.

The perimeter for the rectangle = 2(length +  breadth)

[tex]Length=|WX|=\sqrt{(-38-(-38))^2+(53-(-53))^2}=106 \\\\Breadth=|XY|=\sqrt{(38-(-38))^2+(53-53)^2}=76[/tex]

Perimeter = 2(length + breadth) = 2(106 + 76) = 364 yards

Select all of the equations that are equivalent to 3.2 + 6 = 27
3x=21
3.x=33
X+ 6 = 24
x + 2 = 9

Estimate a 15% tip on a dinner bill of $41.35 by first rounding the bill amount to the nearest ten dollars.

Answers

Answer:

Total you have to pay: $47.55

Tax amt: $6.20

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply $41.35 by 1.15

How this works, when your increasing an amount you first change the percentage to a decimal number. Afterwards you add the decimal number

Ex: 1 + .15= 1.15

Or the opposite: 1 - .15= .85

Then multiply your original number by the number you got from the previous step.

Ex: $41.35 x 1.15=47.55

And to find how much you increase just do (Final amount-Initial Amount)

Answers

Answer:

The length is 120 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to find the length of the longest side

The longest side ratio is 15

Add up all the ratio,

We have 1 + 15 + 3 = 19

So the length will be;

15/19 * 152

= 120 yards

The regular price of a coat is $35.25. During a sale, the coat rang up for $19.99. What was the percent off of the coat during the sale? (5 points)

a
The sale was for a 43% decrease.

b
The sale was for a 76% increase.

c
The sale was for a 76% decrease.

d
The sale was for a 43% increase.

Answers

Answer:

a

The sale was for a 43% decrease.

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the percent off of the coat during the sale is shown below:

Regular price is $35.25

And, in the sale the price is $19.99

So, the percent off would be

= ($35.25 - $19.99) ÷ ($19.99)

= 43% decrease

hence, the percent off of the coat during the sale is 43% decrease

Therefore the correct option is a.

And, all the other options are incorrect

|×|=×
is the absolute value of x always, sometimes, or never x​

Answers

Answer:

Sometimes

Step-by-step explanation:

I’ll give you an example so you can understand:

Let’s say x is 4. So plug 4 into the problem:

|4|=4  →  This is a very true statement, where the absolute value of 4 is equal to 4.

Now, let’s say x is -7. So plug -7 into the problem:

|-7|=-7  →  This is a false statement because it’s saying that the absolute value of -7 is -7 which is very untrue.

So |x|=x only works for positive numbers, but not negative numbers. Therefore, |x|=x is the absolute value of x sometimes.

Hope this helps and answers your question! :)
