Billy has three times as many llamas as lambs.
Milly has twice as many lambs as llamas.
They have 17 animals in total.
How many of the animals are llamas?​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

There are 9 llamas.

Step-by-step explanation:

For Billy, we have to find a number that is divisible by four, because he has one group of lambs, and 3 times as many llamas, which gives us 4 groups altogether. The number must be below 10 in order to not go above 17 when Milly's number of animals are included, but above 4 itself in order to reach the target of 17 in the first place.

As you can guess, the only number that fits all the criteria is 8. It's divisible by 4 and below 10, but above 4 itself.

If Billy has three times as many llamas as lambs, then he must have 2 lambs, and 6 llamas, as 2 × 3 = 6.

If we know that Billy has 8 animals, then we also know that Milly must have 9 animals, as 17 - 8 = 9.

We also know that Milly has 3 groups of animals; one group of llamas, and two groups of lambs, meaning we divide the number of animals she has by 3.

9 ÷ 3 = 3.

This tells us Milly has just 3 llamas, because 3 is one group of 9, and 3 × 2 = 6,  because she has twice the amount of lambs.

Billy has 2 lambs and 6 llamas.

Milly has 6 lambs and 3 llamas.

The amount of lambs is irrelevant to our final answer, so we can disregard them and do a final sum of 6 + 3 = 9, which gives us our answer.

Answer 2

Answer:

Billy: Has 4 lots of animals

Milly: Has 3 lots of animals

17 animals in total means that Billy must have 4 lots of 2 (8 animals) and Milly must have 3 lots of 3 (9 animals) So Billy has 6 llamas and Milly has 3, giving 9 llamas in total

Answers

Answer:

[tex]Probability = \frac{6}{29}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

------------------------------Has a brother | Does not have a brother

Has a sister --------------------------- 6 ----------------- 8

Does not have a sister  -----------2 ------------------ 13

Required

Probability of having a sister and a brother

First, the total number of students has to be calculated;

Total = 6 + 2+ 8 + 13

Total = 29

Number of students that have a sister and a brother is represented with data in row 1 and column 1 i.e. 6

At this point, the probability can then be calculated;

Probability = Number of students that have a sister and a brother divided by Total number of students

[tex]Probability = \frac{6}{29}[/tex]

What is the standard form of this function? f(x) = -(x − 4)2 + 2 A. f(x) = -x2 + 4x − 30 B. f(x) = x2 + 8x − 14 C. f(x) = -x2 + 8x − 14 D. f(x) = x2 + 4x − 30

Answers

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard form is f(x) = ax² + bx + c.

f(x) = -(x - 4)² + 2

= -(x² - 8x + 16) + 2

= -x² + 8x - 16 + 2

= -x² + 8x - 14

Hi,

the correct answer is C

This is the correct equation: f(x) = -x^2 + 8x - 14

The sales tax for an item was $19.20 and it costs $480 before tax. Find the sales tax rate. Write your answer as a percentage

Answers

Answer:

sales tax rate = 4%

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem formula to express one term in percentage is used

To express x as percentage of y is given by (x/y*100) %

______________________________________________

Cost of item = $480

sales tax = $19.20

we have to find sales tax rate.

sales tax rate is percentage of cost price which will levied as tax .

thus, we have to find sales tax as percentage of cost price.

using the percentage cost as given above

sales tax as percentage = sales tax/ cost of item *100

sales tax as percentage = 19.20/480 *100 = 4%

Thus, sales tax rate is 4%.

It means that if cost price of item is $100 then $4 will be the sales tax for the item.

Owners of a recreation area are filling a small pond with water. Let y represent the total amount of water in the pond (in liters). Let x represent the total number of minutes that water has been added. Suppose that x and y are related by the equation y=400+32x . Answer the questions below. Note that a change can be an increase or a decrease. For an increase, use a positive number. For a decrease, use a negative number. What is the change per minute in the amount of water in the pond? What was the starting amount of water in the pond?

Answers

Answer:

32400

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets start by defining the numbers in the equation.

This  equation is in slope-intercept form meaning that it is y=mx+b or y = b+mx they are both the same

In slope-intercept form,

m = slope or rateand b = y-intercept

Th equation is y=400+32x so now we know

b=400and m=32

For the first question the change per minute is the rate so it is 32.

For the second question the starting amount is the same as the y-intercept so it is 400.

please answer ASAP please i need HELP ASAP thank you

Answers

Answer:

No, the AA similarity postulate cannot be used because a reflection over line f will establish that ∠ABC and ∠DEC are not congruent.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question

m∠ABC = 45°

m∠ECD = 45°

Based on the above information, the ΔBAC ~ ΔEDC could be determined by seeing the given options

As we can see that from the last option the AA could not be postulated as it creates a reflection over the line plus the ∠ABC and ∠DEC is not congruent

Therefore the last option is correct

No, the AA similarity postulate cannot be used because a reflection over line f will establish that ∠ABC and ∠DEC are not congruent. Therefore the option D is correct.

What is the congruent triangle?

Two triangles are said to be congruent if the length of the sides is equal, a measure of the angles are equal and they can be superimposed.

Data given in the question

m∠ABC = 45°

m∠ECD = 45°

Based on the above information, the ΔBAC ~ ΔEDC could be determined by seeing the given options one by one.

As we can conclude that from the last option the AA could not be postulated as it creates a reflection over the line plus the ∠ABC and ∠DEC is not congruent.

No, the AA similarity postulate cannot be used because a reflection over line f will establish that ∠ABC and ∠DEC are not congruent.

Therefore the option D is correct.

What does the solution of this system indicate about the questions on the test?

Answers

Answer:

(10, 14)

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this system let's use substitution:

Solve the first equation for x, obtaining x = 24 - y, and then substitute 24 - y for x in the second equation:

3(24 - y) + 5y = 100

Performing the indicated multiplication, we get:

72 - 3y + 5y = 100

Combining like terms results in 72 - 100 = -2y, or -28 = -2y

Thus, y must be 14.

If y = 14, then the first equation tells us that x = 10.

Check:  Is this true?  3(10) + 5(14) = 100  YES

The solution is (10, 14).

Step-by-step explanation:

This procedure is being used in order to validate a hypothesis, particularly in a research study. In the situation above, you have to validate whether a new reading program can increase reading comprehension or not.

The experiment consists of independent, dependent, and controlled variables. The independent variables are the ones being changed by the researcher, while the dependent variables tell whether the changes in the independent variable is significant. The controlled variables are the ones that are constant.

The dependent variable above is reading comprehension, while the new reading program is the independent variable. Examples of controlled variables are the ages of the participants. The age directly affects the reading comprehension, thus it has to be considered.
