A pen costs twice as much as a pencil. If 7 pens and 12 pencils cost $6.50, find the cost of a pencil.

I know the answer (pencil $0.25, pen $0.5), but I need to figure out how the answer is solved.

Answers

Answer 1

1. Observe the problem

2. Make a system of linear equations

x is pens

y is pencil

As stated in the text, x=2y

x=2y

7x+12y=6.50

Using substitution,

7(2y)+12y=6.50

14y+12y=6.50

26y=6.50

y=0.25

Substituting it back into the first equation:

x=2(0.25)

x=0.5y=0.25

There are four students working on a project in math class. Miguel has completed 1/8 of the project, Gina has completed 13% of the project, Jatziry has completed 0. 10 of the project, and Kwa has completed 1/9 of the project. Make a list of the students in order from least to greatest by the amount of the project they have completed.

Answers

There are a few methods to doing this, but lets make every number a fraction. (You could make them all percentages or decimals if you want, but it is more difficult in my opinion.)
Miguel: 1/8
Gina: 13/100
Jatziry: 10/100 = 1/10
Kwa: 1/9
Now we need to find the least common denominator, which is 1800.
Now you have these fractions:
Miguel: 225/1800
Gina: 234/1800
Jatziry: 180/1800
Kwa: 200/1800
Now you can easily list these in order

180/1800 < 200/1800 < 234/1800 < 225/1800
Jatziry < Kwa < Gina < Miguel


Sorry if I made any mistakes, I realized Jatziry was a part of the problem halfway through.

The product is a rational expression.

Answers

Answer:

A. The sum is a rational expression

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given

2/a+ c/d

we are given that

'b' and 'd' are non-zero values

So,

a/b is a rational number

c/d is a rational number

we can see that both are added

So, sum of rational expression is also a rational expression

so...

A. The sum is a rational expression

Answer:

The correct answer is D. The product is a rational expression.

Mark cast a shadow that is 4 feet long. At the same time, a nearby tree casts a shadow that is 20 feet long. If mark is 6 feet tall, how tall is the tree?

Answers

Answer:

30 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the given information to set up a ratio...

[tex]\frac{Mark's\ height}{Mark's\ shadow}=\frac{Tree's\ height}{Tree's\ shadow}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{6\ ft}{4\ ft}=\frac{x}{20\ ft}[/tex]

We can solve this ratio using cross multiplication (multiply the numerator of the first fraction by the denominator of the second and the numerator of the second fraction by the denominator of the first):

120 = 4x

Divide both sides by 4

x=30 ft

10.) If you buy all larger cans (aka the 7-gallon cans), you would have saved approx. $30.21

9.) Seth would need a score of 95% in order to average an 80%

Step-by-step explanation:

10.) It costs $15.50 per 5-gal. If you want to buy 45 gallons, it would cost you $139.50 if you bought 5-gallon cans.

It costs $17.00 per 7-gallon. If you want to buy 45 gallons, it would cost you $109.29 if you bought 7-gallon cans.

Now, let's compare prices. Buying 45 gallons worth of 7-gallon cans is less expensive by.... (139.50 - 109.29 = 30.21)

Therefore, you saved $30.21.

9.) An average is done by adding up all the numbers and dividing it by how many numbers you added it by. Let's write an equation to make things easier. So far, we don't know the score he needs to get on his fourth test so let's make it a variable x.

(82 + 68 + 75 + x) / 4 = 80

Let's solve for x.

(82 + 68 + 75 + x) / 4 = 80    *Multiply both sides by 4

82 + 68 + 75 + x = 320     *Add like terms

225 + x = 320    *Subtract 225 from boths to get x on one side

x = 95

Joan has $5.40 worth of change in nickels and dimes. If she has 4 times as many nickels as dimes, how many of each type of coin does she have?

Answers

Answer:

18 dimes and 72 nickels

Step-by-step explanation:

If Joan has 4 nickels per dime, that means that she will have change in groups of 30 cents (4*5=20+10=30). If we divide 5.40 by 0.30, we get 18. We now know there are 18 groups of 30 cents. One dime per group of 30 cents means that there are 18 dimes, and 4 nickels per group of 30 cents means that she has 72 (4*18) nickels.

Now to check our math:

[tex]72n+18d=5.40\\72(0.05)+18(0.10)=5.40\\3.60+1.80=5.40\\5.40=5.40[/tex]
