In an aquarium, there are starfish and octopi in a tank. The total number of animals in the tank is 30. The total number of legs in the tank is 171. Assuming that all animals have all their legs, find the number of each type of animal in the tank. (Starfish have 5 legs and Octopus have 8 legs)

(solve this using Elimination Method, MUST SHOW WORK)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

23 starfish, 7 octopi

Step-by-step explanation:

x=starfish

y=octopi

x+y=30

5x+8y=171

-5(x+y=30)

5x+8y=171

-5x-5y=-150

5x+8y=171

3y= 21

y=7

x+7=30

x=23

23 starfish, 7 octopi

please help me What is the mode of the data shown in this stem-and-leaf plot?

Stem Leaf
1 3 7 7
2 2 4 4 4 5
3 1 5 8 9
4 0 6 7
Key: 2|1=21

Enter your answer as a number, like this: 42 and explain your answer

Answers

Answer:  24

Explanation:

The mode corresponds directly to the most frequent leaf, ie the leaf that shows up the most. This is because the mode itself is the most frequent value of a list of numbers. Be sure to keep the rows separate. The leaf "5" shows up twice, but it's for two different stems. The leaf "7" is a similar story.

In row two, we have the leaf "4" show up three times which is the most of any leaf for any given stem. Tie that leaf to the stem 2 and we get the value 24.

The mode is 24.

A sports teacher had 1025 sweets. After distributing these equally amongst all the participants in a sports meet, he had just 1 sweet left with him. Which of these could be the number of sweets given away to each participant?

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it remains only 1 sweet, we can subtract it from the total and get the amount of sweets distributed (=1024).

As all the sweets are distributed equally, we must divide the number of distributed sweets by all its dividers (excluding 1024 and 1, we'll see later why):

1) 512 => 2 partecipants

2) 256 => 4 partecipants

3) 128 => 8 partecipants

4) 64 => 16 partecipants

5) 32 => 32 partecipants

6) 16 => 64 partecipants

7) 8 => 128 partecipants

9) 4 => 256 partecipants

10) 2 => 512 partecipants

The number on the left represents the number of sweets given to the partecipants, and on the right we have the number of the partecipants. Note that all the numbers on the left are dividers of 1024.

Why excluding 1 and 1024? Because the problem tells us that there remains 1 sweet. If there was 1 sweet for every partecipant, the number of partecipants would be 1025, but that's not possible as there remains 1 sweet. If it was 1024, it wouldn't work as well because the sweets are 1025 and if 1 is not distributed it goes again against the problem that says all sweets are equally distributed.

the total cost of a watch and a radio is rs 500 .If the watch is cheaper than the radio by rs 150,find their cost

Answers

Let cost of watch=w
Let cost of watch=r

w+r=500
but w=r-150

So;r-150+r=500
2r=500+150
2r=650
r=650/2
r=325

If r=325,
then w+r=500
w+325=500
w=500-325
w=175

Cost of watch=rs175
Cost of radio=rs325

is the expression x³·x³·x³ equivalent to x³·³·³? why or why not? explain your reasoning

Answers

Answer:

Definitely not equivalent.

Exponent rules state that whenever you multiply terms with the same power, you add the powers together and multiply the coefficients.

x^3*3*3 is equivalent to something like ((x^3)^3)^3 or x^27

x^3 * x^3 * x^3 would be x^3+3+3 or x^9

A tin of biscuits contains shortbread and choc-chip biscuits in the ratio 2:3 . The tin contains 80 biscuits. How many short-bread biscuits are there in the tin?

Answers

Answer:

32

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 80 biscuits inside the tin.

Also, they said that those biscuits are in the ratio

Short bread    :      Choc - chip

          2          :        3

Altogether there are 5 shares ( 2 + 3)

And now you can divide 80 by 5 to find how many biscuits contain per a share.

80 ÷ 5 = 16

In the question, they asked us to to find the number of short biscuits inside the tin.

Let us find that.

There are 2 shares for short bread biscuits.

So,

Number of short biscuits ⇒ 2 × 16

                                         ⇒ 32

Hope this helps you :-)

So tan O = BD/16 = 15/8

BD = (16*15)/8

= 30.

So the area of triangle ABC = 16*30

what equation has infinite solutions
4(x+2) = 9
4(x+2) = 4x + 8
4(x+2) = 4x + 2
4(x+2) = 12

Answers

Answer:

4(x+2) = 4x + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

because if they are multiplied out it would be 4x+8 = 4x + 8 which means it is infinite because both sides are equal

4(x+2)=4x+8

4x+8=4x+8
Both side is equal no matter what.

Answer:

2x + y = 18

y = 4x - 12

x = 5,  y = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 1st number

y = 2nd number

We can use the substitution method as we know what 'y' equals; that value will get plugged in for 'y' in the first equation as follows:

2x + 4x - 12 = 18

6x - 12 = 18

6x = 30

x = 5

y = 4(5) - 12 which is 20-12 or 8

Which of the following is an equation of a line perpendicular to the equation
y - 3x +1?
O A = - 3x + 5
B. y --3x+5
O C. y -3x5
O D. y = x+5

Answers

Answer:

There is something wrong in the answer options.  Please check the equations and formatting.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the referenced equation is y = 3x + 1 (and not y - 3x + 1), we can say the following.

This is written in the form of y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b the y-intercept (the value of y when x=0).

The slope, as I've written it, is 3.  Parallel lines will have the same slope (but a different b).  Perpendicular lines will have a slope that is the negative inverse of the slope of the reference line.  In this case, it would have a slope of -(1/3).

None of the answer options come close to this.  So something is wrong in the question, unless "NONE" is an option.

If you earned $1000 interest on a loan of $5200 at a yearly interest rate of 2.5%, how many years was the loan for? (Round to the nearest tenth)
