Rebecca went swimming yesterday. After a while she had covered one fifth of her intended distance. After swimming six more lengths of the pool, she had covered one quarter of her intended distance. How many lengths of the pool did she intend to complete?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

E. 120

Step-by-step explanation:

A. 40

B. 72

C. 80

D. 100

E. 120

Let

x = the intended distance

y = length of the pool

She covers one fifth of her intended distance

Distance covered = 1/5 of x

= x/5

After swimming six more lengths of the pool she had covered one quarter of her intended distance

x/5 + 6y = 1/4 of x

x/5 + 6y = x/4

Collect like terms

6y = x/4 - x/5

6y = 5x - 4x/20

6y = x/20

x = 20 * 6y

= 120y

x = 120y

The intended distance Rebecca wants to cover = 120

Jackie's dad drives her to a friend's house at the speed 30 mph. The friend's mom drives her back using the same route at the speed 25 mph. If the way back takes 6 minutes longer how far away is the friend's house?

Answers

Answer:  15 miles

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

Work Shown:

t = time it takes to go from Jackie's house to her friends house

distance = rate*time

d = 30*t

This represents the distance they travel if they go 30 mph

Then when going back home, they take 6 minutes longer

6 minutes = 6/60 = 0.1 hours

So they take 0.1 hours longer meaning the t updates to t+0.1

d = r*t

d = 25*(t+0.1)

d = 25t+2.5

This represents the trip back home.

Since the distance d doesn't change, we can equate the two right hand sides and solve for t

30t = 25t+2.5

30t-25t = 2.5

5t = 2.5

t = 2.5/5

t = 0.5 hours = 30 minutes

d = 30t = 30*0.5 = 15 miles

The answer is 15 miles!

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

1) Gracie has a piece of wood that is 5 feet long to use for two projects. She uses 2 feet of the wood on her first project. Which statement describes how a number line can be used to find the length of wood Gracie has remaining for her second project? * Start at 5 and then move left 2 Start at 5 and then move right 2 Start at 2 and then move left 5 Start at 2 and then move right 5

Answers

Answer:

Start at 5 and then move left 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Length of a piece of wood with Gracie = 5 feets

Length of a piece of wood used on the first project = 2 feets

To find: statement that describes how a number line can be used to find the length of wood Gracie has remaining for her second project

Solution:

The statement that describes how a number line can be used to find the length of wood Gracie has remaining for her second project is

Start at 5 and then move left 2

In this way [tex]5-2=3[/tex]

That is Gracie has now 3 feets of wood available that can be used for her second project.

Using the concept of a number line, the number of wood grace has left would be Start at 5 and then move left 2

Using the concept of a number line :

Positive values are to the right of 0 ; hence, the initial amount of wood grace has is +5

Using two feets from the initial length, then we would Subtract 2 from the the initial value ;

To perform subtraction on a number line, we count to the left ;

Therefore, the correct statement is Start at 5 and then move left 2

Step-by-step explanation:

A family bought a total of 16 adult and child tickets to a magic show. Adult tickets are $10.50 each and child tickets are $7.50 each. The family paid a total of $141. How many of adult tickets, a, and child tickets, c, did they buy?

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

7 adult tickets9 child tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the variables defined in the problem statement, we can write the equations ...

  a + c = 16 . . . . . . . . . . . . number of tickets bought

  10.50a +7.50c = 141 . . . cost of tickets bought

Substituting for c in the second equation, we get ...

  10.50a +7.50(16 -a) = 141

  3.00a +120 = 141 . . . . . . . . simplify

  3a = 21 . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 120

  a = 7 . . . . . . . . divide by 3

  16 -a = c = 9 . . . . . . . find the number of child tickets

They bought 7 adult tickets and 9 child tickets.

_____

If you examine the solution, you see that the number of adult tickets (the higher priced item) is the quotient of the difference between the actual expenditure (141) and the amount that would have been spent on all child tickets (16×7.50=120), and the difference in ticket prices (10.50-7.50=3.00). Knowing this, you can often work problems of this kind in your head.

Answers

So this isn't a answer:

This is to help you understand how to do it in the future.

So we are going to let HOW MANY MILES GO BY be represented as (m)

Company A

60 + (m + .20) = final cost

Company B

20 + (m + .60) = final cost

Now you have to plug in numbers till you get your total miles left.

The difference of two odd numbers is always an odd number.

Answers

Answer:

The difference of two odd number is always even as seen below.

Step-by-step explanation:

First odd number = x

Second odd number = x + 2

Third odd number = x + 4

Therefore

(x + 4) - (x + 2) = x

Where x is any odd number

Using 1 :

(1 + 4) - (1+2)

5 - 3 = 2

2 is not an odd number

Write the equation of the line through the points (4, 5) and (12, 9)

Answers

Answer:

y = 1/2x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

9 - 5 / 12 - 4 = 4/8 = 1/2

y = mx+b

slope/m = 1/2

y = 1/2x + b

5 = 1/2(4) + b

5 = 2 + b

3 = b

y = 1/2x + 3

The equation of the line passing through the points (4, 5) and (12, 9) is x - 2y = -6

From the question,

We are to determine the equation of the line passing through the points (4, 5) and (12, 9)

Using the formula,

[tex]\frac{y-y_{1} }{x-x_{1}} = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2} -x_{1} }[/tex]

From the given information

x₁ = 4

y₁ = 5

x₂ = 12

y₂ = 9

Putting the parameters into the formula, we get

[tex]\frac{y-5}{x-4} =\frac{9-5}{12-4}[/tex]

Then,

[tex]\frac{y-5}{x-4} =\frac{4}{8}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{y-5}{x-4} =\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Then,

[tex]x - 4 = 2(y-5)[/tex]

[tex]x - 4 = 2y-10[/tex]

[tex]x -2y = -10 + 4[/tex]

[tex]x -2y = -6[/tex]

Hence, the equation of the line passing through the points (4, 5) and (12, 9) is x - 2y = -6
