In science class, Farah uses a graduated cylinder with
water in it to measure the volume of some marbles. She
drops in marbles so that they're all under water and
measures the height of the water.
After dropping in 4 marbles, the height is 10 ml
After dropping in 6 marbles, the height is 11 ml.
Here are your answers from the previous screen:
Before dropping in any marbles, the height is 8 ml.
Each marble increases the height by 3 mL.
What should be the height of the water after 13 marbles
are dropped in?

Answers

Answer:

47 mL

Step-by-step explanation:

Note each marble increases the height by 3 mL, and we start with 8 mL, so we multiply 3 by 13, and add it to 8

The volume of each marble is 0.5 ml. The volume after dropping 13 marbles is 14.5 ml.

Volume

The volume of an object is the amount of space occupied by a three dimensional object.

A graduated cylinder can be used to measure the volume of a cylinder. Given that After dropping in 4 marbles, the height is 10 ml and After dropping in 6 marbles, the height is 11 ml.

Hence:

Volume per marble = (11 ml - 10 ml) / (6 - 4) = 0.5 ml

The volume of each marble is 0.5 ml.

If the initial volume is 8 ml, after 13 marbles, height = (8 ml + 0.5 * 13) = 14.5 ml.

3. Adam bought 3 pens and 4 pencils for $4.25. Lily bought 2 pens and 6 pencils for $4.50. How much is a pen? a pencil?​

Answers

Make two equations
Let x = pen
Let y = pencil
3x + 4y = 4.25
2x + 6y = 4.50
Make both coefficients equal
(3x + 4y = 4.25) * 2
(2x + 6y = 4.50) * 3
6x + 8y = 8.5
6x + 18y = 13.5
Subtract both sides
-10y = -5, y = 0.50
3x + 4(0.50) = 4.25
3x + 2 = 4.25
3x = 2.25, x = 0.75

Pen = $0.75
Pencil = $0.50

If 25 percent of your classmates have cats, and your class has 20 students, how many students have cats? (I have to show my work)

Answers

Answer:

5 students.

Step-by-step explanation:

25% is a quarter of the amount, or 1/4. A quarter of 20 is 5, since 4 times 5 is 20. So 5 students have cats.

What is the difference between the number of solutions for a two-step equation and for a two-step inequality

Answers

Answer:

A two-step equation is something like:

A*X + B = C

In this case, like in a linear equation, we have only one solution that can be found as:

A*X = C - B

X = (C - B)/A

In the case of a two-step inequality, we have something like:

A*X + B > C

Solving this we get;

A*X >  C - B

X > (C - B)/A

In this case, any value of X that is larger than  (C - B)/A is a solution, so in this case, we have infinite solutions.

That is the difference between the number of solutions for each case, in a two-step equation we have only one, while in the case of the inequality we have infinite.

He had always wanted to get a gold and purple Dynamite mountain bike. He was working hard at his chores and saving his allowance. Finally, he had enough money to buy the bike of his dreams. His father said they would go to the store on Saturday. Friday night, Melvin could hardly sleep. His mind was unable to rest as it raced with excitement and anticipation. After a few hours of counting sheep after sheep, he finally drifted off into a deep sleep where his dreams were vivid and realistic. He could feel the wind in his hair as he raced up and down the hills on his new mountain bike. In the morning, Melvin's father woke him up at 7 am sharp. After getting dressed and brushing their teeth, they got in the car and headed to the store. Melvin felt like he could burst with excitement! When his father asked if he was ready, Melvin quickly replied, "Are you kidding? I have been ready for months!" When they arrived at the store, Melvin sprinted to the back where the bikes were. His eyes glistened when he saw all the new, shiny bikes. His choices were endless! But there was only one that he really wanted. Melvin's eyes scanned back and forth for the gold and purple bike that he had been dreaming about, but he couldn't see it. He searched and searched up and down the aisles, but it was nowhere to be found. His heart sank with disappointment. It was the only one he really wanted, and now he couldn't get it. "I worked so hard for nothing! It's just not fair!" Melvin exclaimed as his shoulders slumped and he stormed away from the bikes. He just wanted to give up and go home, but Melvin's father told him not to worry. Like any dad would, he went and spoke to the store clerk. A few minutes went by as Melvin paced back and forth, anxiously awaiting his father's return. Sure enough, his dad came back with a huge smile on his face.
