A farm raises cows and chickens. The farmer has a total of 46 animals. One day he counts the legs of all his animals and realizes he has a total of 156 legs. How many chickens does the farmer have?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

32 chickens

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

The number of cows = x

The number of chickens = y

A farm raises cows and chickens. The farmer has a total of 46 animals.

x + y= 46..... Equation 1

x = 46 - y

Number of legs of chickens = 2

Number of legs of cows = 4

One day he counts the legs of all his animals and realizes he has a total of 156 legs.

Hence:

2x + 4y = 156.... Equation 2

We substitute 46 - y for x in Equation 2

2(46 - y) + 4y = 156

92 - 2y + 4y = 156

- 2y + 4y = 156 - 92

2y = 64

y = 64/2

y = 32

Solving for x

x = 46 - y

x = 46 - 32

x = 14

The number of cows = x = 14 cows

The number of chickens = y = 32 chickens

Therefore, the number of chickens that the farmer has is 32 chickens

Brookfield Furniture needs to ship 119 couches across the country. If they can fit 9 couches in each truck, how many couches will be in the partially full truck?

Answers

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the number of couches in the partially filled truck, divide 119 by 9

119/9 = 13.2222

so 13 cars will contain 9 couches packed fully

number of trucks partially filled = 119 - (13 x 9) = 2

The diagonal stripes would require a total of 34 feet of tape.

Step-by-step explanation:

You have six hypotenuses, and you can use the Pythagorean theorem to get their lengths.

The total length of the two big diagonals then is:

2×√(36 + 36)

and the total length of the four small diagonals is

4 ×√(9 + 9)

so the total length is:

2√72 + 4√18

= 12√2 + 12√2

= 24√2

In 7th grade, the ratio of boys to girls is 6 to 7. If there are 143 students in 7th grade, how many are girls? Do NOT write a label. Just write the number.

Answers

Answer:

123 if your going to the nearest whole number

Step-by-step explanation:

Since

6 : 7 = X : 143

Then we know

6/7 = X/143

Multiplying both sides by 143 cancels on the right

143 × (6/7) = (X/143) × 143

143 × (6/7) = X

Then solving for X

X = 143 × (6/7)

X = 122.57142857143

Therefore

6 : 7 = 122.57142857143 : 143

The volume of the cuboid is 90 cm'.
What is the area of the shaded face?​

Answers

Answer:

[tex]A=15\ cm^2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The height of the cuboid = 6 cm

The volume of the cuboid = 90 cm²

We need to find the area of the shaded face.

The volume of a cuboid is given by the formula as follows :

[tex]V=A\times h[/tex]

A is area of the shaded face

Putting all the values,

[tex]A=\dfrac{V}{h}\\\\A=\dfrac{90}{6}\\\\A=15\ cm^2[/tex]

So, the area of the shaded face is [tex]15\ cm^2[/tex].

What is the total number of seconds it takes for the teacher to make 1 copy 2 copies 3 copies by how many seonds does the total time increse for each copy

Answers

Answer:

For 1 copy it takes 5 seconds, for 2 copy it takes 7 seconds, and for 3 copy it takes 9 seconds.

For each copy, it takes 2 seconds more.

Step-by-step explanation:

A teacher is making multiple copies of a 1-page homework assignment. The time it takes her in seconds is 2 times the number of copies she makes plus 3. What is the total number of seconds it takes for the teacher to make 1 copy? 2 copies? 3 copies? By how many seconds does the total time increase for each copy?

Let the number of copies represented by x and y is the time taken.

The time It takes her in seconds is 2 times the number of copies she makes plus 3.

So the required equation is [tex]y=2x+3[/tex].

To calculate the time taken for the first copy put x=1 in the above equation.

[tex]y=2(1)+3[/tex]

[tex]y=5[/tex]

To calculate the time taken for the first copy put x=2 in the above equation.

[tex]y=2(2)+3[/tex]

[tex]y=7[/tex]

To calculate the time taken for the first copy put x=3 in the above equation.

[tex]y=2(3)+3[/tex]

[tex]y=9[/tex]

Hence, For each copy, it takes 2 seconds more.
