Tyler bought two pieces of pizza and three diet Pepsi for $7.25 Scotty but for pizzas a pizza and diet Pepsi for $8.25 set up a system of equations to determine how much a slice of pizza cost and how much a diet Pepsi cost

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The cost of

1 slice of pizza = x = $1.75

1 diet pepsi = y = $1.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us represent:

The cost of

1 slice of pizza = x

1 diet pepsi = y

Tyler bought two pieces of pizza and three diet Pepsi for $7.25

2x + 3y = 7.25.......Equation 1

Scotty but four pizzas and a diet Pepsi for $8.25

4x + y = 8.25......Equation 2

Combining the Equations

2x + 3y = 7.25.......Equation 1

4x + y = 8.25......Equation 2

y = 8.25 - 4x

We substitute 8.25 - 4x for y in Equation 1

2x + 3(8.25 - 4x) = 7.25

2x + 24.75 - 12x = 7.25

Collect like terms

24.75 - 7.25 = 12x - 2x

17.5 = 10x

x = 17.5/10

x = $1.75

Solving for y

y = 8.25 - 4x

y = 8.25 - 4(1.75)

y = 8.25 - 7

y = $1.25

Therefore,

The cost of

1 slice of pizza = x = $1.75

1 diet pepsi = y = $1.25

Peter, Bridget and Caroline share some sweets in the ratio 6:3:2. Peter gets 56 more sweets than Caroline. How many sweets are there altogether?

Answers

Answer:

The scale in the ratio given considers the case that there are 9 sweets (2 + 3 + 4), however, to answer our question, we need to scale up the ratio, so that we can work out the share when we have 36 sweets

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratios are a way of displaying the proportional split of a value and they are very similar to fractions. In the example above, we see that for every 2 sweets Amy has, Beth gets 3 and, Colin will get 4. Like fractions, this proportion will stay the same regardless of the scale of the ratio. The scale in the ratio given considers the case that there are 9 sweets (2 + 3 + 4), however, to answer our question, we need to scale up the ratio, so that we can work out the share when we have 36 sweets. So, what scale factor do we need to get it from a total of 9 sweets to a sum of 36 sweets? We know that 9 multiplied by 4 gives us 36, therefore, we can use a scale factor of 4. Remember how whatever is done to the denominator of a fraction has to be done to the numerator? Ratios like to behave the same way, so now that we have scaled up the sum of the ratio, we need to scale up the individual values by 4 – (2x4) : 3x4 : 4x4. Once we work it out we get the new ratio 8:12:16. You can check if you’re right by adding up the new values and you will see that 8 + 12 + 16 = 36, which is the value that the 9 was initially scaled up to. So we now know that when sharing the 36 sweets, Amy will get 8 sweets, Beth will get 12 sweets and Colin will get 16.

Race cars each weighing ¼ pound are on a scale. The scale shows 1 ½ pounds. How many race cars are on the scale?

Answers

Answer:

6 race cars

Step-by-step explanation:

In this scenario, there would be a total of 6 race cars on the scale. Since each racecar weighs 1/4 pound then 4 racecars would equal 1. This leaves us with 1/2 or 0.5 pounds left. This would be 2 race cars since 2/4 is equal to 0.5 pounds. Therefore, if we add these two amounts up it would be a total of 6 racecars (4+2) which would total 1 1/2 pounds.

some body help answer the question in the picture below

Answers

Answer:

a) t ≥ 5

b) (see below)

Step-by-step explanation:

First, make note of the info you are given and what you're trying to do:

- at midnight, 5°C

- drops consistently 2°C per hour

- finding t

- t = # of hours past midnight when temp. was past -4°C

- put t on a number line

So, first, you need to find the first point at when the temperature goes past -4°C. Notice that the question is asking for past -4°C, not -4°C and past. This means we're not including -4°C.

Every hour, we're dropping by 2°C. You can draw a visual to better understand the situation. See the image below.

So we know that starting from 5 am, we are lower than -4°C.

This is 5 hours from midnight.

So t ≥ 5. This means that the number of hours past midnight when the temperature was colder than -4°C was 5 or more hours.

On the number line, draw a circle on 5 (between 4 and 6), but shade it in because it includes 5. Then, shade or highlight to the right of that circle to the end of the number line.

This shows that t is equal to or greater than 5.
