Laquan will give each guest at his party ¹⁄₂ of a cake. How many cakes should he order if 17 people are attending his party?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

9 cakes

Step-by-step explanation:

If each of the 17 people will eat 1/2 of a cake, you would 17*1/2 cakes. This is 17/2, or 8.5. You cannot usually order 8.5 cakes, so you would round up. 9 cakes.

Answer:

The average speed of the athlete for the entire competition is approximately 21.23 km/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters of the athlete performance in the triathlon are;

The length the athlete swims = 750 m = 0.75 km

The time the athletes spends swimming = 15 minutes = 0.25 hours

The speed with which the athlete cycles = 40 km/hr.

The time the athletes spends while cycling = 30 minutes = 0.5 hours

The distance the athlete ran = 5 km

The average speed with which the athlete ran = 3 m/s = 10.8 km/hr.

The formula for average speed, s is Average speed = Total distance/(Total time)

The distance, ∑d, the athlete covered in the entire competition is given as follows;

∑d = 0.75 km + 0.5 hr. × 40 km/hr. + 5 km = 0.75 km + 20 km + 5 km = 25.75 km

The distance, ∑t, the athlete spends in the entire competition is given as follows;

∑t = 0.25 hr. + 0.5 hr. + 5 km/(10.8 km/hr.) = 0.25 hr. + 0.5 hr. + 0.463 hr. ≈ 1.213 hr.;

Therefore;

The average speed of the athlete for the entire competition, s = ∑d/∑t = 25.75 km/(1.213 hr.) ≈ 21.23 km/hr.

Step-by-step explanation:

Alex buys x oranges and Bobbie buys x + 2 oranges. Together they buy 2x + 2 oranges.

$4.20 / $0.21 = 20 oranges.

2x + 2 = 20

2x = 18

x = 9

Hence the value of x is 9.

Answer:

x=9

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of oranges purchased is x + x+2 =  2x+2

They cost 21 cents each

(2x+2) *.21

This is equal to 4.20

(2x+2) *.21 =4.20

Divide each side by .21

(2x+2) *.21/.21 =4.20/.21

2x+2 = 20

Subtract 2 from each side

2x+2-2 =20-2

2x= 18

Divide by 2

2x/2 =18/2

x =9

Conner has a coupon for $2.31 off any
purchase of fruit. He decides to buy a
bag of 9 apples which normally cost
$9.33. If Conner uses his coupon, what
will be the price per apple?

Answers

Answer:

$0.78 per apple

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the price of the bag with the coupon:

9.33 - 2.31

= 7.02

Then, find the price per apple by dividing this by 9, since there are 9 apples in the bag:

7.02/9

= 0.78

So, with the coupon, the price per apple is $0.78

A line with a negative slope is perpendicular to one of the lines shown. What is its slope? Use the graph shown below. The slope is:

Answers

Given:

A line is perpendicular to the given line and having negative slope.

To find:

The slope of the line.

Solution:

We know that, product of slopes of two perpendicular lines is -1.

[tex]m_1\cdot m_2=-1[/tex]

[tex]m_1=-\dfrac{1}{m_2}[/tex]

It means, one slope is opposite and reciprocal of other.

Slope formula:

[tex]m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

From the given graph it is clear that, blue line passes through (0,3) and (2,4). So, slope of blue line is

[tex]m_B=\dfrac{4-3}{2-0}[/tex]

[tex]m_B=\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]

The slope of blue line is [tex]\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]. So, slope of the line which is perpendicular to the blue line is -2, which is negative.

From the given graph it is clear that, red line passes through (0,4) and (4,3). So, slope of red line is

[tex]m_R=\dfrac{3-4}{4-0}[/tex]

[tex]m_R=\dfrac{-1}{4}[/tex]

The slope of blue line is [tex]-\dfrac{1}{4}[/tex]. So, slope of the line which is perpendicular to the blue line is 4, which is positive.

Therefore, the slope of the line which is perpendicular to the given line and having negative slope, is -2.

We need to find b, therefore we'll eliminate f

To do so we'll double the first equation and subtract the second one:

The graph of a linear relationship passes
through (0, 2), (1,5), and (3, 11) but not
through (2, 7). Which of the following is
the equation for this linear relationship?
A y= 2x + 3 Cy=5x
B y = 3x + 2
Dy= 4x - 1

Answers

Answer:

The equation of the linear relationship is y = 3x + 2B

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the question substitute the x in the equation by the x-coordinate of each point to find y, if y equals the y-coordinate of the point, then the point is on the graph of the equation

A.

∵ y = 2x + 3

→ Use the first point (0, 2)

∵ x = 0

→ Substitute x by 0 in the equation

∴ y = 2(0) + 3

∴ y = 0 + 3 = 3

∵ The y-coordinate is 2

The point (0, 2) does not lie on the graph of the relationship

∴ The equation y = 2x + 3 doesn't represent the equation of the relationship

B.

y = 3x + 2

→ Use the first point (0, 2)

∵ x = 0

→ Substitute x by 0 in the equation

∴ y = 3(0) + 2

∴ y = 0 + 2 = 2

∵ The y-coordinate is 2

The point (0, 2) lies on the graph of the relationship

→ Use the second point (1, 5)

∵ x = 1

→ Substitute x by 1 in the equation

∴ y = 3(1) + 2

∴ y = 3 + 2 = 5

∵ The y-coordinate is 5

The point (1, 5) lies on the graph of the relationship

→ Use the third point (3, 11)

∵ x = 3

→ Substitute x by 3 in the equation

∴ y = 3(3) + 2

∴ y = 9 + 2 = 11

∵ The y-coordinate is 11

The point (3, 11) lies on the graph of the relationship

→ Use the fourth point (2, 7)

∵ x = 2

→ Substitute x by 2 in the equation

∴ y = 3(2) + 2

∴ y = 6 + 2 = 8

∵ The y-coordinate is 7

The point (2, 7) doesn't lie on the graph of the relationship

The equation of the linear relationship is y = 3x + 2

Square root of 12 units
Square root of 20 units

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\sqrt{12}[/tex] units

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle.

The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides.

let x be the other leg, then

x² + 2² = 4²

x² + 4 = 16 ( subtract 4 from both sides )

x² = 12 ( take the square root of both sides )

x = [tex]\sqrt{12}[/tex] units

which can be simplified to 2[tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex] units , if required.

C. (x, y)→(12x, 12y)
D. (x, y)→(52x, 52y)

Answers

Answer:

a

Step-by-step explanation:

The pentagon is dilated 3 units to the left and 3 units vertically down and the rule is ( x , y ) → ( x + 3 , y - 3 )

What is Dilation?

Resizing an item uses a transition called Dilation. Dilation is used to enlarge or contract the items. The result of this transformation is an image with the same shape as the original. However, there is a variation in the shape's size. Dilation transformations ensure that the shape will stay the same and that corresponding angles will be congruent

Given data ,

Let the pentagon be represented as A

Now , the dilated pentagon is represented as A'

Now , the center of dilation is the origin O ( 0 , 0 )

where it is dilated 3 units to the left

So , the x coordinate is changed to x + 3

And , dilated vertically downward by 3 units

So , the y coordinate is changed to y - 3

Hence , the dilated pentagon is ( x , y ) → ( x + 3 , y - 3 )

Answer:  40

========================================================

Explanation:

The old dimensions of the rectangle were 30 by 15.

The new dimensions are 30+x by 15+x, where x is some positive number.

The new rectangle dimensions multiply to 1000

(30+x)(15+x) = 1000

Use the FOIL rule to expand out the left side like so

(30+x)(15+x) = 1000

450+30x+15x+x^2 = 1000

450+45x+x^2 = 1000

x^2+45x+450

Then lets get everything to one side

x^2+45x+450 = 1000

x^2+45x+450-1000 = 0

x^2+45x-550 = 0

---------------------

From here we use the quadratic formula

Plug in a = 1, b = 45, and c = -550.

[tex]x = \frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\x = \frac{-(45)\pm\sqrt{(45)^2-4(1)(-550)}}{2(1)}\\\\x = \frac{-45\pm\sqrt{4225}}{2}\\\\[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{-45\pm65}{2}\\\\x = \frac{-45+65}{2} \ \text{ or } \ x = \frac{-45-65}{2}\\\\x = \frac{20}{2} \ \text{ or } \ x = \frac{-110}{2}\\\\x = 10 \ \text{ or } \ x = -55\\\\[/tex]

Earlier we defined x to be a positive number. This means we ignore x = -55. It makes no sense to add on a negative amount to each dimension.

The only practical answer is x = 10.

So each dimension is increased by 10 feet.

--------------------------

If x = 10, then the old dimensions of 30 by 15 bump up to 30+10 = 40 by 15+10 = 25

Then note how 40*25 = 1000, which helps confirm we have the correct dimensions.

--------------------------

Now go back to the question at hand: we want to find the new width. The old width was 30 feet. The new width is 30+x = 30+10 = 40 feet

Answers

Answer:

Torrance must purchase 5 packages of snack bags and 6 packages of juice boxes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Snack bags come in packages of 12.

Juice bags come in packages of 10.

To find:

Fewest number of packages of each product so that there are same number of snack bags and juice boxes.

Solution:

Number of snack bags when 1 package is bought = 12

Number of snack bags when 2 package is bought = 24

Number of snack bags when 3 package is bought = 36

Number of snack bags when 4 package is bought = 48

Number of snack bags when 5 package is bought = 60

Number of snack bags when 6 package is bought = 72

Number of juice bags when 1 package is bought = 10

Number of juice bags when 2 package is bought = 20

Number of juice bags when 3 package is bought = 30

Number of juice bags when 4 package is bought = 40

Number of juice bags when 5 package is bought = 50

Number of juice bags when 6 package is bought = 60

Number of juice bags when 7 package is bought = 70

We can see that when 5 packages of snack bags are bought and 6 packages of juice bags are bought, 60 bags of each are bought.

This can be found by finding the LCM as well.

LCM of 10 and 12 is 60.

It means we need to buy 60 bags of each item.

And we can easily find the number of packages for each.

Number of packages of snack bags to be bought = [tex]\frac{60}{12} =5[/tex]

Number of packages of juice bags to be bought = [tex]\frac{60}{10} = 6[/tex]

Torrance must purchase 5 packages of snack bags and 6 packages of juice boxes.
