3. Adam bought 3 pens and 4 pencils for $4.25. Lily bought 2 pens and 6 pencils for $4.50. How much is a pen? a pencil?​

Answers

Answer 1
Make two equations
Let x = pen
Let y = pencil
3x + 4y = 4.25
2x + 6y = 4.50
Make both coefficients equal
(3x + 4y = 4.25) * 2
(2x + 6y = 4.50) * 3
6x + 8y = 8.5
6x + 18y = 13.5
Subtract both sides
-10y = -5, y = 0.50
3x + 4(0.50) = 4.25
3x + 2 = 4.25
3x = 2.25, x = 0.75

Pen = $0.75
Pencil = $0.50

The temperature was 48°F and dropped 15° in two hours.
What was the temperature after the change?

Answers

Answer:

33 degrees Fahrenheit.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the temperature was 48 degrees, and it dropped 15, that means the initial temperature was subtracted by 15.

48 - 15 = 33.

Answer:

33°F

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial temperature was 48°F. Then, it dropped by 15°.

I am assuming that both values are given in the same unit.

48 - 15 = 33

The temperature should be 33 degrees now.

This probaly sounds a little confusing

Step-by-step explanation:

1 day = 10 laps

1 lap = 400 meters

1 km = 1000 meters

12 km = ? days

We can use this information to find out a lot that we don't know.  

HOW MANY METERS PER DAY??

In order to find the number of meters in a day, we think, "She ran 400 meters 10 times... 400 times 10... that's 4000 meters in one day."

1 day = 4000 meters (10 x 400 meters)

HOW MANY KILOMETERS PER DAY?

In order to find the number of km in a day, we can think, "One thousand is a kilo. There are 4 'one thousand's in 4000. Kali ran 4 kilometers (literally 4 thousand meters) per day.  

1 day = 4 km (4000 m / 1000)

 

From here you can solve simply by thinking "How many 4km does it take to get to 12km?"

4 x ? = 12

? = 12 / 4

? = 3

When you roll 2 die, what is the probability of the event: Two numbers are odd and the sum is less than 5.

Answers

Answer:  1/12

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

Explanation:

Let's use (x,y) notation to denote the results of the two dice. So x is the first dice value and y is the second. Something like (2,1) means we rolled a '2' on the first die, and a '1' on the second die. The order matters.

We want both x and y to be odd, and we also want x+y < 5.

Here are all of the ways to fit those conditions:

(1,1)(1,3)(3,1)

There are 3 ways to achieve this goal out of 6*6 = 36 ways to roll two dice without any restriction. The probability we're aiming for is 3/36 = 1/12

Side note: 1/12 = 0.0833 = 8.33% approximately.

On a unit test in a statistics class, the teacher determines that the mean test grade was 77.5 with a standard deviation of 5.2. One student’s test grade was 91. What is the z-score for the student’s test?

–5.20
–2.60
2.60
5.20

Answers

Answer:

2.60

Step-by-step explanation:

z-score is the difference between the score and mean, divided by the standard deviation.

[tex]z = \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]z = \frac{91-77.5}{5.2} = \frac{13.5}{5.2} \approx 2.596[/tex]

Please help, Describe two methods that can be used to find the area of the composite figure.

Answers

A composite figure is made up of several simple geometric figures such as triangles, rectangles, squares, circles, and semicircles. To find the area of a composite figure, separate the figure into simpler shapes whose area can be found. Then add the areas together.

Area of the composite figure can be find by using additive areas method and subtractive areas method

What is Composite figure?

Composite geometric figures are made from two or more geometric figures. The composite figure below is made from parts of a rectangle and a circle

Since, Area is the quantity that expresses the extent of a region on the plane or on a curved surface.

Area of the composite figure can be find by using two methods,

Additive areas method and Subtractive areas method

In Addictive areas method

Break the composite shape into basic shapes

Find the area of the each basic shapes

Add all the areas of basic shapes together

In Subtractive areas method

Break the composite shape into basic shapes. That shape maybe larger than the composite shapes.

Find the area of the each basic shapes

Area of the composite shape will be the difference between the area of the larger shape.

Hence, the area of  the composite figure can be find by using additive areas method and subtractive areas method

Complete the table for the given rule.
Rule: y = 52

Answers

~Answer~

Substitute your numbers:

y = 5x

For the first one, y equals 5, so substitute 5 for y.

So, 5 = 5x.

What multiplied by 5 gives 5? The answer is 1.

So, the first one is 1.

Do the same for all the others.

So, 4 = 5x.

4 = 5(4/5)

As a decimal that equals 0.8.

For the last one, I can't tell if that is saying 2 or .2 so I'll do both.

for 2, you will do 2 = 5x and for .2, you will do .2 or 0.2 = 5x.

For 2, it would be 2/5 or 0.4.

For .2 or 0.2, it would be 0.04.

So,

x                                                             y

1                                                             5

4/5 or 0.8                                             4

0.4 if it is 2 and 0.04 if it is 0.2.        2

(looking back, I'm pretty sure it was just 2 and not .2)

I hope this is what u were looking for, if not I'm so sorry for a useless answer.  I wasn't completely sure whether I was doing it right since I haven't done these types of math problems in some time.
