During one month, a homeowner used 600 units of electricity and 100 units of gas for a total cost of 390. The next month, 400 units of electricity and 250 units of gas were used for a total cost of $326. Find the cost per unit of gas.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

cost per unit of gas i.e y= 0.36

Step-by-step explanation:

Let cost per unit of electricity = x

and cost per unit of gas = y

The equations required will be:

[tex]600x+100y=390 ---- eq(1)\\400x+250y=326----eq(2)[/tex]

We need to find value of y i.e cost per unit of gas

Solving equations to find value of y

We will use elimination method

Multiply equation 1 by 4 and 2 by 6

[tex]2400x+400y=1560 ---- eq(1)\\2400x+1500y=1956----eq(2)[/tex]

Subtracting eq 1 from eq 2

[tex]2400x+1500y=1956----eq(2)\\2400x+400y=1560 ---- eq(1)\\- \ \ \ \ \ - \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ -\\----------------\\1100y=396\\y=\frac{396}{1100}\\y=0.36[/tex]

Solving we get y=0.36

Putting value of y in eq(1) to find value of x

[tex]600x+100y=390\\600x+100(0.36)=390\\600x+36=390\\600x=390-36\\600x=354\\x=\frac{354}{600}\\x=0.59[/tex]

Value of x = 0.59

But we need to find only cost of unit of gas i.e y

So, cost per unit of gas i,e y= 0.36

Pedro & Samuel are training for a race. The ratio of miles Samuel runs is 2:3. If Samuel logs 27 miles, then how many miles did Pedro train

Answers

Answer:

18

Reason:

the ratio is 2:3, and samuel is the 3 part. We can put this as for every 2 miles that pedro gets, samuel gets 3 miles. Samuel got 27 miles, so you do 27/3 which is 9, and then 9 * 2, which is 18.

Answers

Answer:

52 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

We have an pyramid with square base.

Area of base of the square pyramid = 169 [tex]ft^2[/tex]

To find:

Perimeter of the base of pyramid = ?

Solution:

First of all, let us have a look at the formula of area of a square shape.

[tex]Area = Side \times Side[/tex]

Let the side be equal to [tex]a[/tex] ft.

Putting the given values in the formula:

[tex]169 = a^2\\\Rightarrow a =\sqrt{169}\\\Rightarrow \bold{a = 13\ ft}[/tex]

Now, let us have a look at the formula for perimeter of square.

Your field experience instructor wants to line up 7 cars for transportation to a grade school. Between you and your classmates, there are 29 cars available. How many different groups of 7 cars are possible? different groups

Answers

Answer:

1560780 selections

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Cars = 29

Selection = 7

Required

Possible number of selections

The interpretation of the question is that, in how many ways can 7 cars be selected from 29.

This is done using combination formula as follows:.

[tex]^nC_r = \frac{n}{(n-r)!r!}[/tex]

Where

[tex]n = 29[/tex]

[tex]r = 7[/tex]

So, the formula becomes:

[tex]^{29}C_7 = \frac{29!}{(29-7)!7!}[/tex]

[tex]^{29}C_7 = \frac{29!}{22!7!}[/tex]

[tex]^{29}C_7 = \frac{29*28*27*26*25*24*23*22!}{22!7!}[/tex]

[tex]^{29}C_7 = \frac{29*28*27*26*25*24*23}{7!}[/tex]

[tex]^{29}C_7 = \frac{29*28*27*26*25*24*23}{7*6*5*4*3*2*1}[/tex]

[tex]^{29}C_7 = \frac{7866331200}{5040}[/tex]

[tex]^{29}C_7 = 1560780[/tex]

Hence, the number of ways is 1560780

Step-by-step explanation:

If you check each one plugging in your info into this you can get [tex]a^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2}[/tex] that 12² + 16² will equal 400 which is the same as 20².

Answer:

Answer: D 12,16,20

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagora's Theorem

On a right triangle with side lengths of a,b, and c, being c the hypotenuse, of the longest side, it follows that:

[tex]a^2+b^2=c^2[/tex]

The set {a,b,c} is often called a Pythagorean Triple.

Testing every option:

A

[tex]5^2+8^2=10^2[/tex]

[tex]25+64 = 100[/tex]

89 = 100

Since equality is false, 5,8,10 are not the side lengths of a right triangle.

B

[tex]3^2+5^2=7^2[/tex]

[tex]9+25 = 49[/tex]

34 = 49

Since equality is false, 3,5,7 are not the side lengths of a right triangle.

C

[tex]6^2+11^2=13^2[/tex]

[tex]36+121 = 169[/tex]

157 = 169

Since equality is false, 6,11,13 are not the side lengths of a right triangle.

D

[tex]12^2+16^2=20^2[/tex]

[tex]144+256 = 400[/tex]

400 = 400

Since equality is true, 12,16,20 could be the side lengths of a right triangle.
