Joe buys 6 adult tickets and 4 child tickets for the movies. Each adult ticket cost $9. Each child ticket cost the same amount. Joe pays with a $100 bill and gets $22 in change. How much does each child ticket cost?

Answers

Answer:

Each child ticket cost = $6

Step-by-step explanation:

Joe has = $100

His balance after tickets purchase = $22

Actual amount spent on tickets = $100 - $22 = $78

But,

Each adult ticket cost = $9

Total no of adult = 6

Total amount spent (adults) = $9 x 6 = $54

Balance remaining = $78 - $54 = $24

Amount spent of 4 child tickets = $24

No of children = 4

Therefore,

Amount spent on 1 child (1 ticket),

= $24/4 = $6.

It could be seen that each child ticket cost six dollars.

Carlos has 2.6 meters of wire. He has 3 projects for which he needs 0.9 meters each. Does carlos have enough wires?

Answers

Answer: Carlos does not have enough wires by 0.1 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine if Carlos has enough wires, you need to find out the total amount of wires needed and then compare this to the amount of wires that Carlos has already.

= 0.9 + 0.9 + 0.9

= 2.7 meters

Carlos has 2.6 meters of wire but needs 2.7 meters.  

Carlos therefore, does not have enough wires.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\frac{3x + 8}{36 - 2x} / \frac{27x^2 + 72x}{3x^2 - 27} = \frac{(x - 3)(x+3)}{6x(18 - x)}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]\frac{3x + 8}{36 - 2x} / \frac{27x^2 + 72x}{3x^2 - 27}[/tex]

Required

Solve

Change / to *

[tex]\frac{3x + 8}{36 - 2x} * \frac{3x^2 - 27}{27x^2 + 72x}[/tex]

Factor out 3

[tex]\frac{3x + 8}{36 - 2x} * \frac{3(x^2 - 9)}{3(9x^2 + 24x)}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{3x + 8}{36 - 2x} * \frac{(x^2 - 9)}{(9x^2 + 24x)}[/tex]

Factorize:

[tex]\frac{3x + 8}{36 - 2x} * \frac{(x^2 - 9)}{3x(3x + 8)}[/tex]

Cancel out 3x + 8

[tex]\frac{1}{36 - 2x} * \frac{(x^2 - 9)}{3x}[/tex]

Factorize:

[tex]\frac{1}{2(18 - x)} * \frac{(x^2 - 9)}{3x}[/tex]

Combine

[tex]\frac{x^2 - 9}{2*3x(18 - x)}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{x^2 - 9}{6x(18 - x)}[/tex]

Express the numerator as a difference of two squares

[tex]\frac{(x - 3)(x+3)}{6x(18 - x)}[/tex]

Hence:

[tex]\frac{3x + 8}{36 - 2x} / \frac{27x^2 + 72x}{3x^2 - 27} = \frac{(x - 3)(x+3)}{6x(18 - x)}[/tex]

Find x and y with ray theorem

Answers

Answer:

x = 12 and y = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the similarity theorem to fid the value of x and y

16/x = 16+6/16.5

16/x = 22/16.5

22x = 16*16.5

22x = 264

x = 264/22

x =12

Similarly

24/x = 24+y/16.5

24/12 = 24+y/16.5

2 = 24+y/16.5

24+y = 2 * 16.5

24+y = 33

y = 33-24

y = 9

Hence x = 12 and y = 9

Answers

Answer:

12710 license plates

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

First character = one of 41 different hieroglyphs

Second character = one of 31 emojis

Third character = one of 10 polygons

A license plate consists of 3 characters

Number of 3-character license plates available :

Number of hieroglyphs * Number of emojis * number of polygons

41 * 31 * 10 = 12710 license plates.

Roger and Trish can finish 11x/30 of the homework if they work together for x hours.

What is Expression?

An expression is combination of variables, numbers and operators.

Let the total amount of work in the math homework is 1.

In one hour, Roger can finish 1/6 of the work, and Trish can finish 1/5 of the work. So, working together for one hour, they can finish:

(1/6) + (1/5)

= (5/30) + (6/30)

= 11/30 of the work.

If they work together for x hours, then they will finish:

x × (11/30) = 11x/30

of the work in x hours.

Therefore, Roger and Trish can finish 11x/30 of the homework if they work together for x hours.

[tex]\text{note:explanation is a must}[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

θ = [tex]\frac{\pi }{3}[/tex] (60° )

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the identity

sin²x + cos²x = 1 ⇒ sin²x = 1 - cos²x

Given

cos²θ - sin²θ = 2 - 5cosθ

cos²θ - (1 - cos²θ) = 2 - 5cosθ

cos²θ - 1 + cos²θ = 2 - 5cosθ

2cos²θ - 1 = 2 - 5cosθ ( subtract 2 - 5cosθ from both sides )

2cos²θ + 5cosθ - 3 = 0 ← in standard form

(cosθ + 3)(2cosθ - 1) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for θ

cosθ + 3 = 0

cosθ = - 3 ← not possible as - 1 ≤ cosθ  ≤ 1

2cosθ - 1 = 0

cosθ = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] , so

θ = [tex]cos^{-1}[/tex] ([tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] ) = [tex]\frac{\pi }{3}[/tex] ( or 60° )

Answers

Answer:

The tires are spinning at 660.49 revolutions per minute.

Step-by-step explanation:

The speed of the tires (v) is the same that the speed of the car, so to find the angular velocity of the tires we need to use the equation:

[tex] \omega = \frac{v}{r} [/tex]

Where:

r: is the radius of the tires = d/2 = 28 inches/2 = 14 inches

[tex]\omega = \frac{55 mph}{14 inches*\frac{1 mile}{63360 inches}} = 2.49 \cdot 10^{5} \frac{rad}{h}*\frac{1 h}{60 min}*\frac{1 rev}{2\pi rad} = 660.49 rpm[/tex]              

Therefore, the tires are spinning at 660.49 revolutions per minute.

Answer:

A. The number of boxes that can be packed by Ryan and Daniel each increases over time. Daniel's function has a greater rate of

change than Ryan's function indicating that Daniel can pack more boxes per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Ryan: 3 boxes per hour

Daniel: [tex]y = 4h[/tex]

Required

True statement about their functions

First, we calculate Ryan's function.

In 1 hour, he can pack 3 boxes.

In hours, he can pack 3h boxes.

So, the equation is:

[tex]y = 3h[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]y = 3h[/tex] ---- Ryan

[tex]y = 4h[/tex] --- Daniel

Both functions represent direct proportional functions.

So, when h increases y also increases.

However, Daniel's function has a greater rate of change because[tex]y = 4h[/tex] implies that he can pack 4 boxes per hour while Ryan can pack 3.

If I have 14 neutrons and 11 electrons, what is my mass number?

A.25
B.3
C.11
D.14

Answers

Answer:

A : 25

Step-by-step explanation:

In a neutral atom, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons. The atomic number indicates the number of protons.

The mass number is the sum of the number of neutrons and the number of protons.

mass number=protons+neutrons

As we know from the atomic number, the number of neutrons is 14 and the number of electrons is 11.

mass number = 14 + 11

I think the answer is 25

7, the greatest number given in the ratio

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  9, the sum of the numbers given in the ratio

Step-by-step explanation:

The reduced ratio 2 : 7 means that two parts correspond to one length and 7 parts correspond to the other length. That is, there are a total of 2+7 = 9 parts in the full length of the segment.

It is convenient to think of the line segment as being divided into 9 equal parts.

_____

Additional comments

It is often helpful to consider the total number of "ratio units" in a given ratio. For example, in this problem, the shorter segment is 2/9 of the whole, and the longer one is 7/9 of the whole.

It can also be useful to consider what a "ratio unit" represents. If the whole segment is 27 inches long, then each of the 9 ratio units will represent 3 inches, for example. This means the division 2:7 is 2(3 in):7(3 in) = 6 in : 21 in.

18 is 14 percent of what?

Answers

Answer:

18 is 14% of 128.5714

Step-by-step explanation:

Step-by-step explanation:

14: 18*100 =

(14*100): 18 =

1400: 18 = 77.78

Now we have: 14 is what percent of 18 = 77.78

Question: 14 is what percent of 18?

Percentage solution with steps:

Step 1: We make the assumption that 18 is 100% since it is our output value.

Step 2: We next represent the value we seek with $x$x.

Step 3: From step 1, it follows that $100\%=18$100%=18.

Step 4: In the same vein, $x\%=14$x%=14.

Step 5: This gives us a pair of simple equations:

$100\%=18(1)$100%=18(1).

Step 6: By simply dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and taking note of the fact that both the LHS

(left hand side) of both equations have the same unit (%); we have

$\frac{100\%}{x\%}=\frac{18}{14}$100%x%=1814

Step 7: Taking the inverse (or reciprocal) of both sides yields

$\frac{x\%}{100\%}=\frac{14}{18}$x%100%=1418

$\Rightarrow x=77.78\%$⇒x=77.78%

Therefore, $14$14 is $77.78\%$77.78% of $18$18.

She scrunched up her nose as an unfamiliar assortment of odors hit her nostrils. Some smelled sweet, some disgusting, and some were just strange. There were never strange smells on the ship; everything was always the same there. What was it going to be like to live where things changed? The rest of the children gathered around the opening as she climbed down the ladder, and Maria tried to smile as she met their worried eyes.

Something small and furry scurried across her feet as she spun in a slow circle. Inspired, she ran as fast as she could across the foreign soil; shed never seen somewhere so big, and it was thrilling. Suddenly, a deep, low sound echoed around her. Thats the call of a hornbeast, Captain Curran shouted from the bottom of the ladder. Maria glanced back and saw that he was helping her friends take tentative first steps in the new world. Walk to your left a little, and there should be a streamflowing water on the ground; they often go there to drink, the explorers say.She started to run in that direction and then paused.
