Cindy, Hao and Raymond have some books. Cindy has three times as many books as Hao and Raymond has half as many books as Hao. Between the three of them, the mean number of books that each person owns is 15. How many books does each person own?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]Cindy = 30[/tex]

[tex]Hao= 10[/tex]

[tex]Raymond = 5[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Represent each withe first letter of their name;

So:

[tex]C = 3H[/tex]

[tex]R = \frac{1}{2}H[/tex]

[tex]\frac{C + R + H}{3} = 15[/tex] --- the average of books

Required

The number of book each has

Substitute [tex]C = 3H[/tex], [tex]R = \frac{1}{2}H[/tex] in [tex]\frac{C + R + H}{3} = 15[/tex]

[tex]\frac{3H + \frac{1}{2}H + H}{3} = 15[/tex]

Multiply both sides by 3

[tex]3 * \frac{3H + \frac{1}{2}H + H}{3} = 15 * 3[/tex]

[tex]3H + \frac{1}{2}H + H = 45[/tex]

Take LCM and solve

[tex]\frac{6H + H + 2H}{2}= 45[/tex]

[tex]\frac{9H}{2}= 45[/tex]

Multiply both sides by 2/9

[tex]\frac{2}{9} * \frac{9H}{2}= 45 * \frac{2}{9}[/tex]

[tex]H= 45 * \frac{2}{9}[/tex]

[tex]H= 5 * 2[/tex]

[tex]H= 10[/tex]

[tex]C = 3H[/tex]

[tex]C = 3 * 10[/tex]

[tex]C = 30[/tex]

[tex]R = \frac{1}{2}H[/tex]

[tex]R = \frac{1}{2} * 10[/tex]

[tex]R = 5[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

Length = 12 feet, Width = 10 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the bedroom be 'x' ft and the width of the bedroom be 'y' ft.

We know that the perimeter of a rectangle is given by,

P=2(length+width)

P=2(x+y)

It is given that, the length of the bedroom is 2 more than the width, so,

x=y+2

Putting the values in the equation of perimeter we get,

44=2((y+2)+y)

44=2(2y+2)

44/2 =2y+2

22=2y+2

2y=22−2

y= 20/2 =10

Therefore, x=y+2=10+2=12

Hence, the length of the bedroom is 12 feet and the width of the bedroom is 10 feet.

The cost of 3 loaves of bread and 3 gallons of milk is $19.35. The cost of 4
loaves of bread and 2 gallons of milk is $17.90. How much does one loaf
of bread cost?

Answers

Answer:

bread $2.5   milk  $3.95

Step-by-step explanation:

b=bread    m= milk

3b +3m = 19.35

4b+2m= 17.90

 Multiply the first by  (-2)

 Multiply the second  by 3

    Then add both

              -6b -6m = -38.7

               12b+6m=53.7

     (when you add both  6m is cancelled)

           6b = 15

         b=  2.5     (BREAD $2.5)

4(2.5) = 10

 10+ 2m = 17.90

2m = 7.90

m= 3.95   (MILK $3.95)

Complete the sentence the length of a segment from a vertex to the centroid is the length of the median from that vertex

Answers

Answer:

The length of a segment from a vertex to the centroid is

“ 2/3 “ the length of the median from that vertex

Hence, the length of the median from that vertex is [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex].

What is the vertex?

The common endpoint of two or more rays or line segments Vertex typically means a corner or a point where lines meet.

Here given that,

The length of a segment from a vertex to the centroid is the length of the median from that vertex.

So, the length of a segment from a vertex to the centroid is [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] which is the median of that vertex.

Hence, the length of the median from that vertex is [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex].

In the circle above, the measure of angle DHG can be represented by 7x - 7, and the measure of arc DG can be represented by 9x + 21. The measure of arc DG is ___ degrees.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]84^{\circ}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The measure of an inscribed angle is exactly half the measure of the arc it forms. Thus, we have the following equation:

[tex]2(7x-7)=9x+21[/tex]

Solving, we get:

[tex]2(7x-7)=9x+21,\\14x-14=9x+21,\\5x=35,\\x=7[/tex]

Plugging in [tex]x=7[/tex] into [tex]9x+21[/tex]:

Find the slope of the line using the slope formula.
(-1 , 3 ) and ( -1, 0)

Answers

Answer:

m=undefined

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope tells us the steepness and direction of a line. It is the change in y over the change in x.

[tex]m= \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

In this formula, (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) are the points the line passes through.

The points we are given are (-1, 3) and (-1, 0). If we match the number with the corresponding variable we see that:

x₁ = -1 y₁= 3 x₂= -1 y₂ = 0

Substitute the values into the formula.

[tex]m= \frac{ 0-3}{-1--1}[/tex]

Solve the numerator.

0-3 = -3

[tex]m= \frac{-3}{-1--1}[/tex]

Solve the denominator.

-1--1= -1+1=0

[tex]m=\frac{3}{0}[/tex]

Since we cannot divide a number by 0, the slope is undefined. Basically, this is a vertical line and all the points have the same x-coordinate.

Answers

Answer:

fixed amount is 150

the rate is 6

The formula to calculate the total cost of the caterer is

total cost = 150 × 6 + number of students

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 1050= 150×r+f

2. 750= 100×r+f

• On number 2 you substract on both sides f so you get 750-f=100×r with this you divide on both sides 100 and you get 7,50 -f÷100=r

• Now you can put r into term of number 1 and you get 1050=150x(7,50-f÷100)+f

• If you calculate this to just get a f on one side you get f=150 so this the fixed amount

• Put f in r=7,50-f÷100 so u get r=7,50-150÷100 or r=6 this the rate

• So the formula to calculate the total cost for the caterer is

total cost=150 + 6 × number of students

In Mendels first experiment, he crossed tall plants with short plants and found tall plants were dominant to short plants. Draw a Punnett square to describe this experiment and list the genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring. It was my twelfth birthday. Thanks to my over-active imagination, I had convinced myself that my mom was going to get me a new skateboard. I could not contain my excitement. I really needed a new skateboard, and not because I was bored with my old one. My old skateboard was falling apart. Upon waking up, I ran straight to my mom and asked her to give me my gift. She responded by telling me that I would have to wait until after I got home from school. She went on to say that if she told me what the gift was I would not be able to concentrate on my school work. Those words ensured that I would be so excited about getting my new skateboard that I would be unable to work. After a whole day of counting down the minutes, I arrived home from school. My mom was nowhere to be found. I called her office but did not get an answer. She did not answer her cell phone either. Just as my frustration was peaking, my mom pulled into the driveway. She stepped out of the car, asking, "Why are you looking at me like that?" I excitedly blurted out, "You said I would get my present after school, and it is officially "after school.'" "Oh, is that all? I assumed that you missed your dear mother," she teased. I later regretted my response. "No, that's not all! It's everything!" When I asked her where my gift was, she pointed at the J.C. Penney bag she held. She told me, "It's a new suit for you to wear to church." I muttered in disbelief, "But you said that if you told me about the gift, I would be thinking about it all day long." My mom responded, "I didn't say you would be thinking about it because it's a great gift."Which of the following statements best summarizes the passage? A.
