Small baskets of tomatoes are sold at a vegetable stand for $3 per basket. Large baskets
of tomatoes are sold at the stand for $5 per basket. Only whole numbers of baskets may be
purchased.
Another customer claims that he can purchase a total of 10 baskets of tomatoes
and pay $45.
B. Use a system of equations that describes this other customer's purchase to
explain why the claim is incorrect.

Answers

Answer 1

hello lol srry I don't know what to do

Answer 2

The customer's claim is incorrect because the value of the number of baskets are in decimal.

What is a system of equation?

A system of equations is a set or collection of equations that you deal with all together at once. For a system to have a unique solution, the number of equations must equal the number of unknowns.

For the given situation,

Let the number of small baskets be x

and the number of large baskets be y

Price of small basket = $3 per basket

Price of large basket = $5 per basket

Number of baskets purchased by customer = $45

The system of equations for the above statements are

[tex]x+y=10[/tex] ------ (1)

[tex]3x+5y=45[/tex] ------ (2)

From 1, [tex]x=10-y[/tex]

Now, substitute x in equation 2,

⇒ [tex]3(10-y)+5y=45[/tex]

⇒ [tex]30-3y+5y=45[/tex]

⇒ [tex]2y=45-30[/tex]

⇒ [tex]2y=15[/tex]

⇒ [tex]y=\frac{15}{2}[/tex]

⇒ [tex]y=7.5[/tex]

Substitute the value of y in equation 1, we get

⇒ [tex]x=10-7.5[/tex]

⇒ [tex]x=2.5[/tex]

Only whole numbers of baskets may be purchased. But the value of x and y are in decimals.

Hence we can conclude that the customer's claim is incorrect because the value of the number of baskets are in decimal.

Which ratio is smaller? 1:2 or 2/5

Answers

Answer:

2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The easiest way to do this (in my opinion) is to make both of them into a fraction, then decimal, and then compare the two.

1:2=1/2=0.5

2/5=0.4

And once you do that you can see that 2/5(0.4) is smaller!

I'll do the first 6 rows to get you started.

===========================================

In row 1, we have the number [tex]2^3[/tex] which is the same as writing 2^3

The base is 2 and the exponent is 3. Think of "base" as in "basement" to remember that the base is under the exponent. The exponent tells us how many copies of the base to multiply out. In this case, we have three copies of the base "2" multiplied to get 2*2*2 = 8

============================================

In row 2, we have the number 3^2. The base is 3 and the exponent is 2.

We can say 3^2 = 3*3 = 9. We have two copies of the base multiplied. Think of a 3 inch by 3 inch square that has area of 9 square inches.

============================================

Row 3:

The number 5^4 means 5^4 = 5*5*5*5 = (5*5)*(5*5) = 25*25 = 625

The base is 5 and the exponent 4 tells us how many copies of the base to multiply.

============================================

Row 4:

We aren't given the number like in the earlier rows. But we can see that the base is 6 and the exponent is 2. So the number to fill in that first blank is 6^2

The expanded notation would be 6*6 because the exponent tells us how many copies of the base to multiply out.

The standard notation is 36 because 6*6 = 36.

============================================

Row 5:

This time we don't have an exponent, but we have the base and we have the expanded notation.

The expanded notation of 8*8*8 means the base is 8 and the exponent is 3

So 8^3 = 8*8*8 = 512

We'll have 8^3 to fill in the first blank of row five, 3 fill in the next blank, and finally 512 fill in the last blank.

============================================

Row 6:

We have six copies of '9' multiplied together

This tells us we have the number 9^6. The base is 9 and the exponent is 6

Use your calculator to determine that 9^6 = 9*9*9*9*9*9 = 531441

============================================

I'll let you do the rest of the remaining rows.

melanie walks 2 large dogs and 8 small dos as part of her dog walking business the simplified ratio of large dogs to small dogs is

Answers

Answer:8:36

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer: 1 : 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The simplified ratio of large dogs to small dogs is 1 : 4.

The original, unsimplified ratio would be 2 : 8, because there are 2 large dogs for every 8 small dogs. But to simplify it, we can divide each side by 2.

2 ÷ 2 = 1, while 8 ÷ 2 = 4.

Therefore, the simplified ratio of large dogs to small dogs is 1 : 4.

When something negative moves behind it becomes positive

So 2.1 plus 6.3 is 8.4

Answer:

Z=8.4

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Add 6.3 to both sides.

Z =2.1+6.3

2.Simplify 2.1+6.3 to  8.4

Z=8.4
