two ferries start moving toward each other from opposite riverbanks, a and b. when they pass each other for the first time, the distance to riverbank b is 100 meters. each ferry starts its return trip as soon as it reaches its destination. when the ferries meet for the second time, the distance to riverbank A is 50 meters. what is the distance between riverbanks a and b? Help I will give 40 points

Answers

Answer 1

Let 'x' be the distance from THE far bank   where 700 is the distance to the NEAR bank

boat one has travelled 700    (rate = 700/unit time)         boat two has travelled   x    rate = x / unit time

boat one then travels   x  + 400  more      and boat two travels   700 + (700+x -400) more    when they meet

The time is the same      rate x time = distance      distance/rate = time     equate the distances divided by the respective rates

(700 + x + 400)/700     =    (  x  +  700     +  (700+x-400) )/x

1100x + x^2 = 1400x + 700000

x^2-300x -700000 = 0                         quadratic formula yields  x = 1000  

One boat travels 700   the other   1000 whe they first meet.....width of river =   700+ 1000 = 1700 m

Explain how to find the greatest number of identical arrangements that can be made with 54 roses and 42 tulips with no flowers left over.

Answers

Answer:

  GCF(54, 42) = 6 arrangements

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of such arrangements will be the greatest common factor (GCF) of the two numbers. You recall from your times tables that ...

  54 = 6×9

  42 = 6×7

The factors 9 and 7 have no factors in common, so 6 is the greatest common factor of 54 and 42.

  6 identical arrangements of 9 roses and 7 tulips can be made.

_____

Additional comment

When the numbers are small and found in your memorized times tables, finding the GCF is done by consulting your memory. Otherwise, it can be done by factoring, or by using Euclid's algorithm.

When the numbers are factored to primes, the GCF is the product of the prime factors the numbers have in common.

  54 = 2×3×3×3

  42 = 2×3×7

These factorizations have 2×3 = 6 in common.

__

Euclid's algorithm has you find the remainder from the division of the larger number by the smaller. When that remainder is not zero, it replaces the larger number, and the process repeats. When that remainder is zero, the divisor is the GCF.

  54/42 = 1 r 12

  42/12 = 3 r 6

  12/6 = 2 r 0 . . . . GCF = 6

This algorithm works on numbers of any size (including fractions and mixed numbers), so is especially useful when the factorization is not obvious.

A printing company sells small packages of personalized stationery for $7 each, medium
packages for $12 each, and large packages for $15 each. Yesterday, the company sold 9
packages of stationery, collecting a total of $86. Three times as many medium packages
were sold as large packages.

Can someone set up the question? I’m unsure of what the equations would be.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

what's the question ? it does not say.

I assume it is "how many packages of what size were sold ?"

x = number of small packages

y = number of medium packages sold

z = number of large packages sold

x + y + z = 9

7x + 12y + 15z = 86

y = 3z

these are the 3 equations we get out of the question.

we put the third equation into the other two :

x + 3z + z = x + 4z = 9

7x + 12×3z + 15z = 7x + 36z + 15z = 7x + 51z = 86

it of this first equation we get

x = -4z + 9

and putting that into the other equation :

7×(-4z + 9) + 51z = 86

-28z + 63 + 51z = 86

23z = 23

z = 1

y = 3z = 3×1 = 3

x = -4z + 9 = -4×1 + 9 = -4 + 9 = 5

so, 5 small, 3 medium and 1 large packages were sold.

Renata moved to her new home a few years ago. Back then, the young oak tree in her back yard was 190 centimeters tall. She measured it once a year and found that it grew at a constant rate. 3 years after she moved into the house, the tree was 274 centimeters tall
How fast did the tree grow?

How many years passed from the time Renata moved in until the tree was 344 centimeters tall?

Answers

1.

The equation for this problem would be

y = (?)x + 190

With y being the height after a given amount of years and x being the amount of years passing. We would need to find ?, the rate of how fast the tree grows. The problem gives us y = 274 centimeters and x = 3 years

Let’s plug in and solve for ?

274 = ?(3) + 190

84 = ?3

28 = ?

The tree grew 28 cm per year

2.

Since we know the rate of change and y, let’s just plug in values

344 = 28x + 190

154 = 28x

5.5 = x

5.5 years since Renata moved.

Answer:

1A,) 5x 2 and 3x are unlike terms and 9x 3 and 2x 2 are also unlike term

* so you have to put the like terms together to solve the equation

*then you say 9x 3 first because it is the biggest number (I think)

* then you put 5x 2 and 2x 2 together and 3x and x together too

* then you will get : 9x 3+ (5x 2 + 2x 2) + (3x -x)

:9x 3 + 7x 2 +2x

Note:

in algebra 3x -x is like saying 3-1 aka x is seen as 1 but the one is invisible

haha

and unlike terms are terms that do not have the same variables or powers while like terms are terms that have the same variables or powers

Answer:

d = mn/F

Step-by-step explanation:

F = mn/d

multiply both sides with d

d*F = mn/d*d

dF=mn

divide F from both sides

d/F = mn/F

So..

d = mn/F

Answer:

Given:

[tex] \boxed{ \mathsf{F = \frac{mn}{d} }}[/tex]

Divide both sides by "mn":

[tex] \mathsf{ \frac{F}{mn} = \frac{mn}{d \times mn} }[/tex]

The two mn's on the RHS gets canceled out. So we're left with:

[tex] \mathsf{ \frac{F}{mn} = \frac{1}{d} }[/tex]

Invert the fractions present on either side of the "equals" sign

(In other words, flip it on its head so its numerator becomes its denominator and vice):

[tex] \mathsf{ \frac{mn}{F} = \frac{d}{1} }[/tex]

Hence, we got the value of d:

[tex] \underline{\mathsf{ d= \frac{mn}{F} }}[/tex]

Julie spent $15 on 3 headbands. Mary spent $48 on 8 headbands. How much more
did Mary spend per headband?
$5.50
$1
$2.13
$4

Answers

Based on the information given, the amount of money that Mary will spend more for the headband will be $1.

Since Julie spent $15 on 3 headbands, the amount per headband will be:

= $15/3 = $5

Since Mary spent $48 on 8 headbands, the amount per headband will be:

= $48/8 = $6

Therefore, we can then calculate the difference between the values that are gotten. This will be:

= $6 - $5 = $1

Therefore, the difference is $1.
