Complete Question

Tyler went to the supermarket to buy food for a food pantry. He has $36, and can carry up to 20 pounds of food in his backpack. Pasta costs $1 for a 1-pound package. Pasta sauce costs $3 for a 1.5 pound jar. Let x = the number of packages of pasta and y = the number of jars of pasta sauce. One package of pasta is the right amount to go with one jar of pasta sauce. What is the best numbers of packages of pasta and jars of pasta sauce to buy for the food pantry? Explain your reasoning.

Answer:

Eight is the best numbers of packages of pasta and jars of pasta sauce to buy for the food pantry.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = the number of packages of pasta

y = the number of jars of pasta sauce.

He has $36, and can carry up to 20 pounds of food in his backpack. Pasta costs $1 for a 1-pound package. Pasta sauce costs $3 for a 1.5 pound jar.

x + 1.5y ≤ 20....... Equation 1

x = 20 - 1.5y

x × $1 + y × $3 = $36

x + 3y ≤ 36..... Equation 2

20 - 1.5y + 3y = 36

-1.5y + 3y = 36 - 20

1.5y = 16

y = 16/1.5

y = 8

And x = 8

Therefore,

Eight is the best numbers of packages of pasta and jars of pasta sauce to buy for the food pantry.

A rectangular poster is to contain 578 square inches of print. The margins at the top and bottom of the poster are to be 2 inches, and the margins on the left and right are to be 1 inch. What should the dimensions of the poster be so that the least amount of poster is used?

Answers

Answer:

19 by 38

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the poster, A=xy

Margin at both up and bottom is 2inches, at the right and left is 1 inch

Then we can say

(x-4)(y-2)= 578

Let us make y subject of the formula

(y-2)= 578/(x-4)

y=[ 578/(x-4)] + 2

If we substitute into the area A equation we have

A= x { [ 578/(x-4)] + 2}

A= 2x + (578x)/(x - 4)

If we differentiate we have

A'(x)= [2+578(x-4)+578x ]/ (x-4)^2

=[ 2(x-4)^2 + 578(x -4) + 578x ] / (x-4)^2

=[ 2(x^2 - 8x +16) + 578(x-4) + 578x ] /(x-4)^2

If we simplify this we have

=[ 2x^2 -16x +32+578x -578x - 2312]/ (x-4)^2

=( 2x^2 -16x - 2312) / (x-4)^2

At A'(x)= 0

= ( x^2 - 8x - 2312) / (x-4)^ =0

If we divide through by 2 we have

x^2 - 8x - 1156= 0

Solving the quadratic eqn( CHECK THE ATTACHMENT)

X= 38 or -30 then we choose the positive one, then x= 38

Then from area of the poster

A= (x-4)(y-2)= 578

Substitute 38 as value of x

(38-4)(y-2)= 578

34(y-2)=578

34y-68=578

34y=646

y=19

Hence dimensions of the poster is 19 by 38

Answers

Answer: 6^30 (the last option)

Explanation:

In the numerator it is a power raised to a power so you multiply. It gives you 6^36.

Now you have:

6^36 / 6^6

Now you subtract the powers when you are dividing because that is the exponent rule

36 - 6 = 30

Final Answer: 6^30

When you divide 23 by 25 you get 0.92 which is 92% (multiply by 100).

You divide because a fraction means the numerator divided by the denominator.

what is 7 + 7 +7+7+7+7 x 0

Answers

Answer:

35

~

Just simplify the expression and you'll get:  

35

~

You might be wondering why isn't the answer 0, since anything multiplied by 0 is 0.

~

It's because to answer this question, you will need to use PEMDAS.

P, Parenthesis.

E, Exponents.

M, Multiply.

D, Divide.

A, Addition.

S, Subtraction.

~

Since we don't have parenthesis, exponents, a division sign, or subtraction sign.

All we need to do is Mutiply, and Add.

~

First we multiply, because of the PEMDAS order.

7 * 0 = 0

~

Then, since we used one of the 7's to multiply. (The one next to the 0)

We add the rest of them, not including the last seven.

There are six, sevens.

But we already used one.

So we will add only the other five.

7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 = 35.

7 * 5 = 35

~

And that's it.

You got your answer, 35.

Step-by-step explanation:

this requires practical assumption.

take 9 for example

5 more than 9 means 9 - 5 = 4

4 is a square number

21 = 21 - 5 = 16

16 is a square number

Answer:

(5) FALSE.

Step-by-step explanation:

(1) [tex]\sqrt{32} = 2^{\frac{5}{2} }[/tex]

[tex]2^{\frac{5}{2} } = (\sqrt{2} )^5 = (\sqrt{2} \ \times \ \sqrt{2} \ \times \ \sqrt{2} \ \times \ \sqrt{2} \ \times \ \sqrt{2}) = 4\sqrt{2}\\\\\sqrt{32} = \sqrt{16 \ \times \ 2}\ = \ \sqrt{16} \ \times \ \sqrt{2} \ = \ 4\sqrt{2}[/tex]

Thus, the equation is TRUE.

(2) [tex]16^{\frac{3}{8} } = 8^2[/tex]

[tex]16^{\frac{3}{8} } =(2^4)^{\frac{3}{8} } = 2^\frac{3}{2} }= (\sqrt{2} )^3 = (\sqrt{2} \ \times \ \sqrt{2} \ \times \ \sqrt{2}) = 2\sqrt{2} \\\\8^2 = 64[/tex]

Thus, the equation is FALSE.

(3) [tex]4^{\frac{1}{2} } = \sqrt[4]{64}[/tex]

[tex]4^{\frac{1}{2} }= \sqrt{4} = 2\\\\\sqrt[4]{64} = (64)^{\frac{1}{4} } = (2^6)^{\frac{1}{4} }= 2^{\frac{6}{4} } = 2^{\frac{3}{2} }=(\sqrt{2} )^3 = (\sqrt{2} \times \sqrt{2} \times \sqrt{2} ) = 2\sqrt{2}[/tex]

Thus, the equation is FALSE.

(4) [tex]2^8 = (\sqrt[3]{16} )^6[/tex]

[tex]2^8 = 256\\\\ (\sqrt[3]{16} )^6 = (16)^{\frac{6}{3} } = (2^4)^{\frac{6}{3} } = (2)^{\frac{24}{3} } = 2^8 = 256[/tex]

Thus, the equation is TRUE.

(5) [tex](\sqrt{64} )^{\frac{1}{3} } = 8^{\frac{1}{6} }\\\\[/tex]

[tex]8^{\frac{1}{6} } = (2^3)^{\frac{1}{6} } = 2^{\frac{3}{6} } = 2^{\frac{1}{2} } = \sqrt{2} \\\\(\sqrt{64} )^{\frac{1}{3} } = (2^6)^{\frac{1}{3} } = 2^{\frac{6}{3} } = 2^2 = 4[/tex]

Thus, the equation is FALSE.

Step-by-step explanation:

The proportion you want is ...

52% of 125 is 65.

Comment on the formulation

You can write the same proportion 4 ways. I find it convenient to choose one that has the unknown in the numerator. Here, that means you would write it ...

  whole/part = 100/52 = ?/65

Then the solution is one step: multiply by 65.
