a school district collected 14,621 pounds of recyclables during last year. This year was 3,943 more pounds of recyclables than it collected last year. How many pounds of recyclables did the school district collected last year?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

14,621 lbs.

Step-by-step explanation:

It says at the beginning of the question that the school district collected 14,621 lbs. of recycling. The part where it says that the school district collected 3,943 lbs. of recycling more than last year is un-needed information.

51.78 / 2.54 = 20.4 inches <==

or this way...

2.54 / 1 = 51.78 / x....2.54 cm to 1 in = 51.78 cm to x inches

cross multiply

Clare ran 4 miles on Monday. Then for the next six days, she ran the same distance each day. She ran a total of 22 miles during the week. Which tape diagram represents this situation?

Answers

Answer:

In a week we have 7 days.

On the first day, Clare runs 4 miles.

On the other six days, she runs the same distance, let's call it D.

In total, she runs 22 miles.

Then:

4mi + 6*D = 22 mi

6*D = 22mi - 4mi = 18mi

D = 18mi/6 = 3mi.

Then the other 6 days, Clare runs 3 miles, then the tape diagram would look something like:

[tex]\left[\begin{array}{cccccc}Monday&-&-&-&-\\Tuesday&-&-&-\\Wednesday&-&-&-\\Thursday&-&-&-\\Friday&-&-&-\\Saturday&-&-&-\\Sunday&-&-&-\end{array}\right][/tex]

Where each "-" represents one mile.

Dan's school is selling tickets to a play. On the first day of ticket sales the school sold 1 adult ticket and 6 student tickets for a total of $69. The school took in $150 on the second day by selling 7 adult tickets and student tickets How much is a student ticket?

Answers

Answer:

Let's define the variables:

A = price of one adult ticket.

S = price of one student ticket.

We know that:

"On the first day of ticket sales the school sold 1 adult ticket and 6 student tickets for a total of $69."

1*A + 6*S = $69

"The school took in $150 on the second day by selling 7 adult tickets and student tickets"

7*A + 7*S = $150

Then we have a system of equations:

A + 6*S = $69

7*A + 7*S = $150.

To solve this, we should start by isolating one variable in one of the equations, let's isolate A in the first equation:

A = $69 - 6*S

Now let's replace this in the other equation:

7*($69 - 6*S) + 7*S = $150

Now we can solve this for S.

$483 - 42*S + 7*S = $150

$483 - 35*S = $150

$483 - $150 = 35*S

$333 = 35*S

$333/35 = S

$9.51 = S

That we could round to $9.50

That is the price of one student ticket.

When a polynomial f(x) is divided by 2x-3,the quotient is x^2-x+2 and the remainder is -1. Find the f(x)​

Answers

Answer:

f(x) = 2x³ - 5x² + 7x - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

In the division statement: m ÷ n = q + [tex]\frac{r}{n}[/tex]

m is the dividendn is the divisorq is the quotientr is the remainderm = q × n + r

Let us use the fact above to solve the question

∵ f(x) is divided by (2x - 3), the quotient is x² - x + 2 and the remainder is -1

f(x) is the dividend ⇒ m

(2x - 3) is the divisor ⇒ n

(x² - x + 2) is the quotient ⇒ q

-1 is the remainder ⇒ r

→ Use the rule above to find f(x)

∵ f(x) = (x² - x + 2) × (2x - 3) + -1

∴ f(x) = (x² - x + 2)(2x - 3) - 1

→ Multiply the 2 brackets at first

∵ (x² - x + 2)(2x - 3) = x²(2x) + x²(-3) + -x(2x) + -x(-3) + 2(2x) + 2(-3)

∴ (x² - x + 2)(2x - 3) = 2x³ - 3x² - 2x² + 3x + 4x - 6

→ Add the like terms

∴ (x² - x + 2)(2x - 3) = 2x³ + (-3x² - 2x²) + (3x + 4x) - 6

∴ (x² - x + 2)(2x - 3) = 2x³ + (-5x²) + 7x - 6

(x² - x + 2)(2x - 3) = 2x³ - 5x² + 7x - 6

→ Substitute it in f(x)

∴ f(x) = 2x³ - 5x² + 7x - 6 - 1

→ Add the like term

∵ f(x) = 2x³ - 5x² + 7x + (- 6 - 1)

∴ f(x) = 2x³ - 5x² + 7x + (-7)

f(x) = 2x³ - 5x² + 7x - 7

A farmer finds that if she plants 50 trees per acre, each tree will yield 80 bushels of fruit. She estimates that for each additional tree planted per acre, the yield of each tree will decrease by 3 bushels. How many trees should she plant per acre to maximize her harvest?

Answers

Answer:

28

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

Let x be the number of trees.

F(x) = (50 +x) (20 - 3x)

F(x) = 1000 - 150x + 20x - 3x²)

F(x) = -3x² - 130x + 1000

Differentiating F(x) with respect to x;

[tex]F'(x) = \dfrac{d}{dx}( -3x^2- 130x + 1000)[/tex]

[tex]F'(x) = ( -3(2x)- 130(1) +0)[/tex]

F'(x) = -6x -130

Now; we set F'(x) to be equal to zero to determine the critical value;

-6x - 130 = 0

x = - 130/6

Differentiating F''(x) with respect to x

[tex]F''(x) = \dfrac{d}{dx}( -6x- 130)[/tex]

[tex]F''(x) = ( -6(1))[/tex]

F''(x) = -6 (<0)

Thus; by the second derivative, the revenue function F(x) is maximum when x = -130/6

Therefore, the number of trees she should plant per acre to maximize her harvest is:

50 + x = 50 - 130/6

= 85/3

[tex]\simeq[/tex] 28

Therefore, the number of trees per acre to maximize the harvest is 28

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

25% of anything is also 1/4 of the whole number. Its easier (atleast for me) to make percentages into fractions to make it easier to find the answer. if you were to make 12 a fraction it would look like 12/1 and when we subtract the 1/4 of coconuts it would be 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

you finance a $12,000 condo renovation completely on credit and you will just pay the minimum payment each month for the next few months. The APR is 18.99% and the minimum payment each month is 5% of the balance. Determine the finance charge, carry-over balance, and minimum payment required for each of the next two months, and the starting balance for month 2 in the table below.

Answers

Answer:

For Month 1, we have:

Carry-over balance  = $12,000.00

Finance charge = $189.90

New balance = $12,189.90

Minimum payment = $609.50

For Month 2, we have:

Carry-over balance = $11,580.41

Finance charge = $183.26

New balance = $11,763.66  

Minimum payment $588.18

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question. See the attached pdf file for the complete question.

The explanation to the answer is now given as follows:

Note: See the attached excel file for calculations of the finance charge, carry-over balance, and minimum payment required for each of the next two months.

In the attached excel file, the following formulas are used:

r = Monthly percentage rate = APR / 12 = 18.99% / 12 = 1.5825%

Carry-over balance of the current month = New balance of the previous month - Minimum payment of the previous month

ground beef. How much

h

Answers

Answer:

6.75 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is of direct variation. We will use x as our answer. 8 is 2/3 of 12, so 4.5 should be 2/3 of x. We can now make an equation.

[tex]4.5=\frac{2}{3} x\\4.5*\frac{3}{2} =\frac{2}{3} x*\frac{3}{2} \\6.75=x[/tex]

In order to solve the equation, we multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 2/3, which is 3/2.

* stands for multiplication

From solving our equation, we get 6.75. We can't forget the units, so the answer is 6.75 pounds.
