At a fabric store, fabrics are sold by the yard. A dressmaker spent $36.35 on 4.25 yards of silk and cotton fabrics for a dress. Silk is $16.90 per yard and cotton is $4 per yard.

Find the solution of the system of equations. Explain or show your reasoning
{x+y=4.25} ; {16.90x+4y=36.35}

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The number of yards of silk = x = 1.5 yards

The number of yards of cotton = y = 2.75yards

Step-by-step explanation:

At a fabric store, fabrics are sold by the yard. A dressmaker spent $36.35 on 4.25 yards of silk and cotton fabrics for a dress. Silk is $16.90 per yard and cotton is $4 per yard.

Find the solution of the system of equations. Explain or show your reasoning

{x+y=4.25} ; {16.90x+4y=36.35}

Let the number of yards of silk = x

The number of yards of cotton = y

We are given the system of equations:

{x+y=4.25} ......Equation 1

x = 4.25 - y

{16.90x+4y=36.35}....... Equation 2

4.25 - y for x in Equation 2

16.90(4.25 - y) + 4y = 36.35

71.825 - 16.90y + 4y = 36.35

71.825 - 36.35 = 16.90 - 4y

35.475 = 12.90y

y = 35.475/12.90

y = 2.75 yards.

The number of yards of cotton = y

{x+y=4.25} ......Equation 1

x = 4.25 - y

x = 4.25 - 2.75

x = 1.5 yards

The number of yards of silk = x = 1.5 yards

Answer 2

The yards of silk bought is  1.49 yards and the yard of cotton bought is 2.76 yards.

The two equations are known as simultaneous equation. They would be solved using elimination method.

x + y  = 4.25 equation 1

16.90x + 4y = 36.25 equation 2

where:

x = yards of silk bought

y = yards of cotton bought

In order to determine the value of x, multiply equation 1 by 4.

4x + 4y = 17 equation 3

Subtract equation 3 from 2

19.25 = 12.90x

Divide both sides of the equation by 12.90

x = 1.49 yards

In order to determine the value of y, substitute for x in equation 1

1.49 + y = 4.25

y = 4.25 - 1.49

y = 2.76 yards

find the measure of angle L this is the last question mark brainest ty so much xx​

Answers

Answer:

∠L = 50°

Step-by-step explanation:

∠R = 109°

∠U is supplementary to ∠R

This means ∠R + ∠U = 180°

109° + ∠U = 180°

Subtract ∠R from 180° to get ∠U

∠U = 81°

A triangle's angles must add up to 180, so if we take ∠U + ∠E, we figure out what 2 of the 3 angles add up to, we can then subtract this sum from 180 to figure out ∠L

81° (This is ∠U) + 49° (This is ∠E) = 130°

180° (Sum of all of a triangle's angles) - 130° (Sum of ∠U and ∠E) = 50° (∠L)

Answer:

∠L = 60°

Step-by-step explanation:

see attached image.

add all internal angles and equal to 180

∠U + ∠L + ∠E = 180

∠U = 180 - 109

     = 71

plug in values from equation:

∠U + ∠L + ∠E = 180

71 + ∠L + 49 = 180

∠L = 180 - 49 - 71

∠L = 60

Jenny has only 3 1/2 cups of flour in her house. She needs 1 5/8 cups for a brownie recipe. Her sister Jody needs 1 3/4 cup flour for her cookie recipe. Will there be enough flour for both recipes?

Answers

Answer:

yes, she will still have 1/8 of a cup left

Step-by-step explanation:

you have to convert all the fractions to have the same denominator.

to do that you need improper fractions

3  1/2= 7/2

1  5/8= 13/8

1  3/4= 7/4

with this information, you need to find a common number between 2, 8, and 4. the largest number that they all fit into is 8.

so 7/2 becomes 28/8

13/8 stays the same

and 7/4 becomes 14/8

add 13/8 and 14/8 and subtract from 28/8

you get 1/8, which means you have enough flower for both recipes!

A housing policy research group reported that the proportion of homeowners in the U.S. who struggle to make monthly mortgage payments is 0.29, or 29%. A real estate company is interested in examining this claim in a particular state that has experienced recent economic hardships Refer to the information above regarding the survey of homeowners with mortgages. The survey found that in a sample of 451 randomly selected homeowners, 183 reported having difficulty paying their mortgages each month. If a hypothesis test were to be conducted to determine if the problem is worse in this particular state, which of the following would be the correct value of the test statistic? Choose the closest value, taking all calculations to four decimal places.
a) 5.42
b) 0.45
c) 0.36
d) 18.99
e) 0.26

Answers

Answer:

The option is  A

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The population proportion is  [tex]p =  0.29[/tex]

    The sample size is  n  = 451

    The number that was having difficulty is  k  =  183

   

Generally the sample proportion is mathematically represented as

     [tex]\^ {p}  =  \frac{k}{n}[/tex]

=>  [tex]\^ {p}  =  \frac{183}{451}[/tex]

=>   [tex]\^ {p}  =   0.4058[/tex]

Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as

    [tex]t = \frac{ \^ {p} -  p }{ \sqrt{\frac{p (1-p)}{n} } }[/tex]

=>  [tex]t = \frac{0.4058 -  0.29 }{ \sqrt{\frac{0.29 (1-0.29)}{451} } }[/tex]

=>  [tex]t =  5.42 [/tex]

Misha’s hamster weighed 0.845 kilograms. About how much does it weigh, rounded to the nearest hundredth?
1 0.84 kilograms
2 0.8 kilograms
3 0.85 kilograms
4 1 kilograms

Answers

Answer:

0.85 kilograms

Step-by-step explanation:

The nearest hundredth can be defined as a place value used when rounding up numbers after the decimal.

The nearest hundredth can also mean rounding up to 2 decimal places.

We are asked to round up 0.845 to the nearest hundredth

The nearest hundredth is the second number after the decimal = 4

The third number after the decimal = 5, hence we add 1 to 4 , making it 5.

Hence:

0.845 kilograms to the nearest hundredth = 0.85 kilograms

Graph the line of the slope of 1/4 and includes the point (0,2)

Answers

Answer:

I'm on Edulastic.com taking a 100 Q test and this question is on it!

Step-by-step explanation:

Imao im fgging confused

The graph of the required line [tex]\bold{y=\frac{x}{4}+2}[/tex] is given below.

Slope point form of equation of line: -

An equation of line with slope m and passing through point (p, q) is:

(y - q) = m × (x - p)

We have been given the slope of the line m = 1/4,

and a point (p, q) = (0, 2)

Using the slope-point form equation of line would be,

⇒ (y - 2) = 1/4 × (x - 0)

⇒ (y - 2) = 1/4(x)    

⇒ y = x/4 + 2                          ...............................(1)

So, the equation of the line is [tex]y=\frac{x}{4} +2[/tex].

To plot the line we need at least  two coordinate points.

We have been given a point (0, 2).

We need to find another point.

Substitute x = -4 in equation (1),

⇒ y = (-4)/4 + 2

⇒ y  = -1 + 2

⇒ y = 1

So, another point on the line would be (-4, 1).

Now, we plot points (0, 2) and (-4, 1) on coordinates plane.

Then the graph of the line [tex]\bold{y=\frac{x}{4}+2 }[/tex] is as shown in figure.
