Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A. $2.00

B. $26.99

Step-by-step explanation:

0.5 x 49.99 = 24.995

49.99 - 24.995 = 24.995

0.08 x 24.995 = 1.9996 and round to the nearest hundredth

24.995 + 1.9996 = 26.9946

round to the nearest hundredth

Answer 2

Answer:

Part a: 1.9996

Part b: 26.9946

Step-by-step explanation:

STEP 1:

Find the unit rate (1% of 49.99). You should get 0.4999. Then, multiply 0.4999 by 50. You should get 24.995.

STEP 2:

Find the unit rate of 24.995. You should get 0.24995. Then multiply 0.24995 by 8. You should get 1.9996 (answer for part a).

STEP 3:

Add 1.9996 to 24.995. You should get 26.9946 (answer to part b).

The family likes peaches and other fruits. The local farmer’s market is selling fresh peaches at a discounted price. If the farmer’s market sold 35% of its produce and has 280 peaches remaining, how many peaches did it originally have on hand? Show all your work and explain how you used equivalent ratios to solve the problem. (2 points)

Answers

Answer:

Sorry for the super late answer but here:

Step-by-step explanation:

If it sold 35% and now there is 280 remaining, that means that they produce 280 x 135%. That is also equal to 280 x 1.35. The equation is equal to 378 remaining. Please give me brainiest if you see this. However, it is ok if not since this is a super late answer plus I didn't use equivalent ratios.

4 * 2y + 4 * 1

4(2y + 1)

Distributive property

Step-by-step explanation:

8y + 4

We can factor out a 4 out of both as both are divisible by 4

8y / 4 = 2y

4 / 4 = 1

So 8y + 4 is the same as saying 4 * 2y + 4 * 1

This can be written as 4(2y + 1) which is written using the distributive property

A tortoise moves at a speed of 26 inches in 9 seconds. What is its average speed in feet per hour?
≈ 780 ft/h
≈ 867 ft/h
≈ 855 ft/h
≈ 936 ft/h

Answers

Answer:

867 ft/h

Step-by-step explanation:

26 inches = 2.17 feet

9 seconds = 0.15 of a minute = 0.0025 of an hour

2.17 / 0.0025 = 867

867 ft/h

26 in=2.17ft
9 sec = 0.0025 hr

Douglas went to Charlies General Store to get gas. He paid $52.20 for 20 gallons of gas. How much would he have paid if he got 25 gallons instead

Answers

Answer:

65.25

Step-by-step explanation:

52.20 is the total for 20 gallons of gas

we divide 52.20 by 20 to find out the price per gallon.

52.20/20= 2.61 per gallon

for 25 gallons --> 2.61 x 25 = 65.25

answer: $65.25

explanation:
$52.20 divided by 20 equals $2.61 per gallon if you multiply that by 25 gallons you will end up with $65.25

Although, they are both considered to be equines, and they are similar in many ways, they also have some noticeable differences. One of the biggest, and most obvious differences between horses and ponies is their height. Ponies are much shorter and stockier than horses. However, horses are typically slower growing than ponies, reaching maturity around six or seven years of age, while most ponies are full grown by the time they are three or four. Although ponies are smaller than horses, they are very strong and are able to carry more weight than a horse relative to their size. Both ponies and horses have manes, coats, and tails, but a pony's is much thicker. Horses have had a long career of farming, transportation, and recreation. Historically, they have been used to help farmers plow their fields, to carry people from town to town, and in medieval tournaments. Today, horses are still used for recreation, but they are not used for farming or transportation as regularly as in the past. Some of today's recreational uses include trail riding and racing competitions. Horse owners take care of their horses by feeding them a diet of grass and hay and by housing them in horse stables. Due to ponies' strength, they were often used to move small, but heavy loads from place to place. Today, ponies are commonly seen at birthday parties, petting zoos, and with children riding on their backs. They are often used to help children get comfortable before learning how to ride a full-sized horse. Like horses, ponies also eat a diet of grass and hay; however, they are known to eat twigs, vines, shrubs, and other plants too. Select the phrase that best describes the structure of the text.
