A woman bought some large frames for ​$10 each and some small frames for ​$5 each at a closeout sale. If she bought 27 frames for ​$​180, find how many of each type she bought. She bought ____ large frames.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a guessing game. You assume how much there is, and then you check. I was led to the conclusion that there are 9 large frames and 18 small frames.

Answer 2

Answer:

She bought 9 large frames

Step-by-step explanation:

Create a system of two equations and two unknowns (the number of small frames that we call S, and the number of large frames that we call L).

The two equations become:

(a)    L + S = 27    (since she bought 27 frames total)

(b)   10 L + 5 S = 180

Now, let's solve for S in the first equation:  S = 27 - L

ad use it to replace for S in equation (b):

10 L + 5 (27 - L) = 180

10 L  - 5 L + 135 = 180

5 L = 180 - 135

5 L = 45

L = 9

Therefore she bought 9 large frames

A bowling ball is pushed with a force of 22.0 N and accelerates at 5.5 m/s2. What is the mass of the bowling ball? Ik the answer is 4.0, but I got it wrong for 4.00. I based the significant numbers off the 22.0 but apparently it's the 5.5. I always get it wrong when the question involves two numbers with different amounts of significant numbers (sometimes I use the smaller one but it wanted the bigger). How do I know when to use more or less significant numbers?

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

You should always use the least number of significant figures.  The exception is exact numbers or constants.

For example, there are 60 minutes in an hour.  Even though this number has one significant figure, it is an exact number.  So 15 minutes converted to hours would be 0.25 hr.

PLEASE HELP THE QUESTION IS BELOW!!

Answers

Answer:

The answer is option D.

Their angles measures cannot be equal.

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

What the question requires of us is just the property of complimentary angles and which is

The sum of their angles must be equal to 90°.

When two angles combine together to form angle 90°, it is said to be complimentary and they're referred to as a right angled triangle.

From the option, none of the angles can be up to a right angle triangle (90°)

The sum of their angles can be an acute triangle I.e 45°

45° + 45° = 90°

Knowing the fact that the angles can both be an acute angle (45°), it would be wrong to say both angles cannot be equal.

Hence option D is is wrong and it's the right answer in this case

A little shop sells Christmas toys. The wholesale price for each toy in a consignment of 50 toys was $5.5. Half of this quantity was sold before Christmas for the sales price of $15 per piece. two-fifth of the remaining toys have been sold in the next six days for half of the sales price. Finally, the rest of toys have been sold after the New Year for one-third of the sales price. What was the profit the shop made on selling these toys?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]Profit = \$250[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Number of Toys = 50

Unit Cost Price = $5.5

Unit Selling price = $15

Required

Determine the profit after sales

First, we need to determine the total cost price;

[tex]Cost\ Price = Number\ of\ toy *\ Unit\ cost\ price[/tex]

[tex]Cost\ Price = 50 * \$5.5[/tex]

[tex]Cost\ Price = \$275[/tex]

First, we need to determine the total sales;

____________________________________________________

Half of the toy was sold at $15;

[tex]Half\ of\ the\ toy = \frac{1}{2} * 50[/tex]

[tex]Half\ of\ the\ toy = 25[/tex]

[tex]Sales = \$15 * 25[/tex]

[tex]Sales = \$375[/tex]

____________________________________________________

Two-fifth of the remaining was sold at half of the sales price

From the above calculation;

[tex]Remaining\ Toy = 50 - 25[/tex]

[tex]Remaining\ Toy = 25[/tex]

Calculating Two-fifth of the remaining:

[tex]\frac{2}{5} * 25[/tex]

[tex]= \frac{50}{5}[/tex]

[tex]= 10[/tex]

Calculating half of the sales price:

[tex]\frac{1}{2} * \$15[/tex]

[tex]\$7.5[/tex]

This means that 10 toys were sold for $7.5

[tex]Sales = 10 * \$7.5[/tex]

[tex]Sales = \$75[/tex]

____________________________________________________

The remaining was sold at one-third of the sales price

From the above calculations (1 & 2);

[tex]Remaining\ Toy = 50 - 25 - 10[/tex]

[tex]Remaining\ Toy = 15[/tex]

Calculating one-third of the sales price:

[tex]\frac{1}{3} * \$15[/tex]

[tex]\$5[/tex]

This means that 15 toys were sold for $5

[tex]Sales = 15 * \$5[/tex]

[tex]Sales = \$75[/tex]

____________________________________________________

Now the total sales can be calculated;

[tex]Total\ Sales = \$375 + \$75 + \$75[/tex]

[tex]Total\ Sales = \$525[/tex]

[tex]Profit = Total\ Sales -\ Cost\ Price[/tex]

[tex]Profit = \$525 -\$275[/tex]

[tex]Profit = \$250[/tex]

So the area of a triangle is b*h / 2

b = 6

h = 6

6*6 = 36

36 / 2 = 18

A = 18cm^2

So to find the missing side or c we do 6^2 + 6^2 = c^2,

36 + 36 = c^2

72 = c^2

≅8

6 + 6 + 8

= 20cm

9 * pi = 9π^2

What is the true bearing of Milton from Binji?

Answers

Answer:  024 degrees

The leading 0 is important with true bearings. Any true bearing must be three digits.

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

Explanation:

It's not stated, but I'm assuming that Binji and Congo form a flat horizontal line.

B = Binji's location

M = Milton's location

C = Congo's location

The given angles are M = 76 and C = 38. The missing angle is

B = 180-M-C

B = 180-76-38

B = 66

Subtract this from 90 to get 90-66 = 24

The true bearing of Milton from Binji is 024 degrees

In other words, if you are at Binji's location, face directly north, and turn 24 degrees clockwise (turn to the right), then you'll be facing Milton's location.

-------------

Extra info:

In terms of compass notation, the true bearing of 024 degrees converts to N 24 E. This is the same as E 66 N, though convention usually has north used more often (since it's a common reference point with compasses).

N 24 E = start facing north, turn 24 degrees to the east

E 66 N = start facing east, turn 66 degrees to the north


Which is a correct step to solve the equation 1=−4+3/8x

B.1=8(−4+3/8x)

C.8(1)=8(−4+3/8x)

D.3(1)=3(−4+3/8x

Can someone please help me

Answers

Answer:

C. 8(1)=8(−4+3/8x)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation

1=−4+3/8x

in this equation in denominator we have 8x,

since we are solving for x we cannot eliminate it, but we have to eliminate 8 in denominator, so that there only numerator in equation and solving process becomes easier.

To eliminate 8,we need to multiply both side by 8, so as to balance the equation and also 8 from denominator gets cancelled in RHS.

1=−4+3/8x

multiply both side by 8

8(1)=8(−4+3/8x)

Thus, option c is correct one

8(1)=8(−4+3/8x)

solving it

8 = -32 + 3/x

adding both side 32

8+32 = -32 + 3/x -32

=> 40 = 3/x

=> x = 3/40

Answers

Answer:

x= 20

Step-by-step explanation:

The three angles add to 90 degrees

x+2x+x+10 = 90

Combine like terms

4x+10 = 90

Subtract 10 from each side

4x +10-10 = 90-10

4x = 80

Divide by 4

4x/4 = 80/4

x = 20

Answer:

x = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

The three angles are complementary to each other.

That means they add up to 90 degrees.

x + 2x + (x + 10) = 90

Combine like terms.

4x + 10 = 90

Subtract 10 on both sides.

4x = 80

Divide both sides by 4.

If so, then we multiply the probabilities to get P(A and B)

P(A and B) = P(A)*P(B|A)

P(A and B) = (3/5)*(8/9)

P(A and B) = (3*8)/(5*9)

write a system of equations for the problem, and then solve the system. if a plane can travel 340 miles per hour with the wind only 260 miles per hour against the wind, find the speed of the wind and the speed of the plane in still air. please show step by step

Answers

Answer:

The speed of plane = 40 m/s

The speed of the wind = 300 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed of the plane = Y

And the speed of the wind = X

If the plane then travel 340 miles per hour with the wind, that means the plane and the wind are moving in the same direction. Therefore,

X + Y = 340 ..... ( 1 )

Also, 260 miles per hour against the wind. That is, the plane is moving opposite to the direction of the wind. Therefore,

X - Y = 260 ..... ( 2 )

Solve the two equations simultaneously by addition. That will eliminate Y

X + Y = 340

X - Y = 260

2X = 600

X = 600/2

X = 300 m/s

Substitutes X in equation (1)

300 + Y = 340

Make Y the subject of formula by collecting the like terms

Y = 340 - 300

Y = 40 m/s

Therefore, the speed of the plane is 40 m/s. While the speed of the wind is 300 m/s.
