you are planning a party for 12 people and you purchase 4 bags of candy.If you have a party for 21 people,how many bags of candy should you purchase

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

one bag of candy for every three people

12 ÷ 4 = 3

21 ÷ 7 = 3

Answer 2

Answer:

7  

Step-by-step explanation:

Apply proportions:

People/bag of candy

[tex]\frac{12}{4}[/tex]

For 21 people

[tex]\frac{21}{x}[/tex]

Equal both expressions

[tex]\frac{12}{4} =\frac{21}{x}[/tex]

Solve for x:

[tex]x=21\frac{12}{4} \\x= \frac{21}{3} \\x=7[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

An equilateral triangle with side lengths of 8.7 centimeters is shown. An apothem has a length of a and the radius has a length of 5 centimeters. The apothem and radius form a triangle with a base length of b. Which statements about finding the area of the equilateral triangle are true? Select three options

Answers

The image of the triangle is missing, so i have attached it.

Also, the options are;

A) The apothem can be found using the Pythagorean theorem.

B) The apothem can be found using the tangent ratio.

C) The perimeter of the equilateral triangle is 15 cm.

D) The length of the apothem is approximately 2.5 cm.

E) The area of the equilateral triangle is approximately 65 cm².

Answer:

Options A, B & D are true

Step-by-step explanation:

A) We are told that the triangle is an equilateral triangle.

Thus, the 3 sides equal 8.7 cm.

Now from the image, b is half of one of the sides.

Thus, b = 8.7/2 = 4.35 cm

Now, we want to find the apothem "a".

Using Pythagoras theorem, we have;

a² + 4.35² = 5²

a² = 25 - 18.9225

a² = 6.0775

a = √6.0775

a ≈ 2.5 cm.

Thus, option A is true as pythagoras theorem was able to calculate the apothem "a"

B) since the main triangle is equilateral, it means each angle is 60°.

Now,the radius line from one corner point to the centre will divide the 60° angle into 2 equal parts.

Thus, the angle made by the radius line with the base of the triangle is 60/2 = 30°

Now,from tangent ratios, we know that;

Opposite/Adjacent = tan θ

In the small triangle, opposite is apothem "a" while adjacent is b = 4.35 cm

Thus;

a/4.35 = tan 30

a = 4.35 tan 30

a ≈ 2.5 cm.

Thus, option B is correct as Tangent ratio can be used to find the apothem

C) The perimeter of equilateral triangle = 3x

Where x is length of one side.

One side is 8.7 cm

Thus, perimeter = 3 × 8.7 = 26.1 cm

Thus option C is not correct.

D) From calculations above, we saw that in both options A & B, the apothem is approximately 2.5 cm.

Thus, option D is true.

E) Area of triangle is;

A = ½ × base × height

Base = 8.7 cm

To get height, we will use trigonometric ratio. Thus;

h/8.7 = sin 60°

h = 8.7 sin 60°

Thus;

A = ½ × 8.7 × 8.7 sin 60°

A = 32.77 cm²

Thus is not equal to 65 cm². Thus, option E is not correct.

A, B, D

Each pitcher of power smoothie that Ginger makes has 2 scoops of pineapple, 4 scoops of strawberries, 1 scoop of spinach, and 1 scoop of kale. If Ginger makes 6 pitchers of power smoothies, how many scoops will she use in all? Which numerical expression can you write to find the number of scoops? Ginger will use scoops in all.

Answers

Given :

Each pitcher of power smoothie that Ginger makes has 2 scoops of pineapple, 4 scoops of strawberries, 1 scoop of spinach, and 1 scoop of kale.

To Find :

If Ginger makes 6 pitchers of power smoothies, how many scoops will she use in all.

Solution :

Let, Ginger makes x pitchers of power smoothies :

[tex]Total \ scoops = 2x+4x+x+x+6x[/tex]

Now, it is given that Ginger makes 6 pitchers of power smoothies.

Total scoops are :

[tex]T=2(6)+4(6)+6+6+6(6)\\\\T=84\ scoops[/tex]

Therefore, number of scoops Ginger used is 84.

Hence, this is the required solution.

Given point Q (2,5), which of the following points is NOT 5 units away from point Q?

A(-2,2)
B(5, 1)
C (3,2)
D(-1, 1)

Answers

Answer;

C ; (3,2)

Explanations;

Mathematically, the equation of the distance between two points can be given as;

D^2 = (y2-y1)^2 + (x2-x1)^2

The distance we are dealing with is 25

Mathematically, the square of 3 and the square of 4 added together gives 25

So the coordinates that will be our answer will be such coordinates that will not give 3 and 4 for either of x or y axes

Looking at it;

Let’s work with the first option;

D^2 = (5-2)^2 + (2-(-2))^2

D^2 =3^2 + 4^2

We can see that this works

Second option;

D^2 = (5-1)^2 + (2-5)^2

D^2 = 4^2 + (-3)^2

Since (-3)^2 is same as 3^2, this option works too

Third option

D^2 = (5-2)^2 + (2-3)^2

D^2 = (3)^2 + (-1)^2

We can see that the sum here won’t give 25 , so this is our answer

Which statement represents the parallel postulate in Euclidean geometry, but not elliptical or spherical geometry?

1 .Through a given point not on a line, there exists no lines parallel to the given line through the given point.

2.Through a given point not on a line, there exists exactly one line parallel to the given line through the given point.

3.Through a given point not on a line, there exists more than one line parallel to the given line through the given point.

4.Through a given point not on a line, there exists exactly three lines parallel to the given line through the given point.

Answers

Answer:

2.Through a given point not on a line, there exists exactly one line parallel to the given line through the given point.

Step-by-step explanation:

The object of "Euclidean geometry" (more commonly called "plane geometry") is, in principle, the study of the shapes and properties of natural bodies. However, geometry is not an experimental science since its object is not to study certain aspects of nature but a necessarily arbitrary reproduction of it.

After the definitions, Euclid then poses his famous postulates (his requests), the fifth of which has remained Euclid's postulate, often called axiom (or postulate) of parallels and which was the subject of much research and controversy as to its necessity:

Given two points A and B, there exists a line passing through A and B. Any segment [AB] can be extended into a straight line passing through A and B. For any point A and any point B distinct from A, we can describe a circle with centre A passing through B. The whole right angles are always equal to each other. By a point outside a line, we can draw a parallel and only one to this line.

From the above explanation, we could deduce that the correct option is Option 2.

Answer:

The answer is B, Through a given point not on a line, there exists exactly one line parallel to the given line through the given point.

Gavin's dog had a litter of puppies. All of the puppies in this litter were either yellow or black. If there was one less black puppy, the ratio of yellow puppies to black puppies would be 2/3. If there was one more black puppy, the ratio of yellow puppies to black puppies would be 1/2. How many puppies were in the litter?

Answers

Answer:

Total number of puppies in the litter = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of yellow puppies in the litter = y

And the number of black puppies in the litter = b

If there was one less black puppy, ratio of yellow to black puppies = [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{y}{b-1}=\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

2(b - 1) = 3y

3y - 2b = -2 -----(1)

If there was one more black puppy, ratio of yellow puppies to black puppies = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{y}{b+1}=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

2y = b + 1

2y - b = 1 -------(2)

Equation (1) - 2× equation (2)

(3y - 2b) - 2(2y - b) = -2 - 2

3y - 4y - 2b + 2b = -4

y = 4

From equation (1),

3×4 - 2b = -2

12 - 2b = -2

-2b = -14

b = 7

Total number of puppies in the litter = 7 + 4 = 11

Answers

Answer:

40 appointments

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we have the following information

Amount of time to trim a customer's hair = 1/4 hour

Amount of time to style a customer's hair = 1/6 hour.

Total time spent on a customer

= (1/4 + 1/6)hour

L.C.M = 12

= (3 + 2/12) = 5/12 hour spent on a customer for trimming and styling

She plans to work for 3 1/3 hours per day for 5 days a week.

The total number of hours in a week that she works is calculated as:

3 1/3 × 5

= 10/3 × 5 = 50/3 hours = 23 1/3 hours

1 customer = 1 appointment = 5/12 hour

Therefore, the number of appointments she can schedule for 5 days a week if the customer must trim and style is calculated as:

5/6 hour = 1 appointment

50/3 hours = x appointments

Cross Multiply

5/6 hour × x = 50/3 hour × 1 appointment

x = 50/3 ÷ 5/12

x = 50/3 × 12/5

= 40 appointments.

The number of appointments she can schedule for 5 days a week if the customer must trim and style is 40 appointments.

Answers

Okay I got the answer, so -28 is (LESS) than -3, and 28m below sea level is a (GREATER) depth than 3m below sea level! i took the test and I got it right.

Step-by-step explanation:

Complete statement is as follows -

−28 is less than −3, but 28 m below sea level is greater depth than 3 m below sea level.

What is inequality?

In mathematics, an inequality is a relation which makes a non-equal comparison between two numbers or other mathematical expressions.

Given is Becky who went scuba diving. She writes an inequality statement that compares the magnitude of two depths that she reached.

We have the following expression -

|- 28| > |- 3|

The absolute value of the expression, will be -

28 > 3

Now, 28 is greater than 3.

But is we compare -28 and -3, then -28 is less than -3.

Now, if we compare the depth of 28 m and 3 m below the sea level, then 28 m represent more depth as compared to 3 m.

Therefore, we can write the complete statement as -

−28 is less than −3, but 28 m below sea level is greater depth than 3 m below sea level.
