John and Adam are selling candy. John sells 6 pieces of candy for $10. Adam sells 13 pieces of candy for $20. Whose candy costs less?

Answers

Adam,
because for John if you add 6+6 = 12 for 20 dollars where Adam has 13 for 20

Answer:

John sells candy at the lowest price.

Step-by-step explanation:

If John sells 6 candies at 10$, then that's what's called a ratio between the price and the candy. We can double the amount of candy and the price to $20 for each 12 candies, $30 for 24, $40 for 36, etc. But it would still maintain the ratio of 6 candies for each 10$. Adam however, sells candy at 13 pieces for $20. We can divide the ratio down to 6.5 candies for 10$. But since we "can't" split a candy in half, we'll round it to 7 pieces for 10$, which costs more than 6 for 10$: Therefore, John sells candy at the lower price.

An athlete covers three consecutive miles by walking the first mile, running the second mile

and cycling the third. He runs twice as fast as he walks, and he cycles one and a half times as

ast as he runs. He takes ten minutes longer than he would do if he cycled the three miles,

How long does he take by walking, running and cycling?

ter your math answer

Answers

Answer:

Total time taken by walking, running and cycling = 22 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed of walking = x

As given,

The distance of walking = 1

Now,

As [tex]Time = \frac{Distance }{Speed}[/tex]

⇒ Time traveled by walking = [tex]\frac{1}{x}[/tex]

Now,

Given that - He runs twice as fast as he walks

⇒Speed of running = 2x

Also given distance traveled by running = 1

Time traveled by running = [tex]\frac{1}{2x}[/tex]

Now,

Given that - he cycles one and a half times as  fast as he runs.

⇒Speed of cycling =  [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex] (2x) = 3x

Also given distance traveled by cycling = 1

Time traveled by cycling = [tex]\frac{1}{3x}[/tex]

Now,

Total time traveled = Time traveled by walking + running + cycling

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

                                = [tex]\frac{6+3+2}{6x} = \frac{11}{6x}[/tex]

If he cycled the three mile , then total time taken = [tex]\frac{1}{3x}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{1}{3x}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{1}{3x}[/tex] = x

Given,

He takes ten minutes longer than he would do if he cycled the three miles

⇒x + 10 = [tex]\frac{11}{6} x[/tex]

⇒[tex]x - \frac{11}{6} x = -10[/tex]

⇒[tex]-\frac{5}{6}x = -10[/tex]

⇒x = [tex]\frac{60}{5}[/tex] = 12

⇒x = 12

∴ we get

Total time traveled by walking + running + cycling = [tex]\frac{11}{6} x = \frac{11}{6} (12) = 11 (2) = 22[/tex] min

The third side of the right triangle is 10.72 unit.

What is Pythagoras theorem?

Pythagoras' Theorem states that the square of the hypotenuse side in a right-angled triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

Given, the side of right triangle is;

Let H be hypotenuse = 14

And P be perpendicular = 9

Then to find third side base be B,

we use the Pythagoras theorem;

(H)² = (P)²+(B)²

Rearranging,

(B)² = (H)² - (P)²

(B)² = (14)² - (9)²

(B)² = 196 - 81

(B)² = 115

B = 10.72 unit.

Therefore, the third side is 10.72 unit.

A hot air balloon is at an altitude of

100 1/5 yards. The balloon's altitude decreases

by 10 4/5 yards every minute. Determine the

number of minutes it will take the balloon to reach an altitude of 57 yards.

Answers

Answer:

It will take 4 minutes for the balloon to reach an altitude of 57 yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial altitude:

100 1/5 yards = 100 + 0.2 = 100.2 yards.

Decrease per minute:

10 4/5 yards = 10 + 0.8 = 10.8 yards.

So, after t minutes, the height of the ballon is given by:

[tex]h(t) = 100.2 - 10.8t[/tex]

Number of minutes it will take the balloon to reach an altitude of 57 yards.

This is t for which [tex]h(t) = 57[/tex]. So

[tex]h(t) = 100.2 - 10.8t[/tex]

[tex]57 = 100.2 - 10.8t[/tex]

[tex]10.8t = 43.2[/tex]

[tex]t = \frac{43.2}{10.8}[/tex]

[tex]t = 4[/tex]

It will take 4 minutes for the balloon to reach an altitude of 57 yards.
