Latoya bought 8 pounds of potatoes at a local wholesaler for $18. Her friend Herman bought 6 pounds of potatoes at the supermarket for $15. Herman thinks he got the better deal because $15 is less than $18.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Herman is wrong.  Latoya got the better deal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Latoya bought 8 pounds of potatoes for $18.

    ► 18 / 8 = $2.25 per pound

Herman bought 6 pounds of potatoes for $15.

    ► 15 / 6 = $2.50 per pound

Cheaper per pound is better!

The value of x must be 25.0. The correct option is the second option-  25.0

Solving Linear equations

From the question, we are to determine the value of x

From the given diagram, we can write that

m ∠SOR + m ∠UOR + m ∠TOU = 180° (Sum of angles on a straight line)

∴ (2x +8)° + (3x - 14)° + (3x -14)° = 180°

2x° + 8° + 3x° -14° + 3x° -14° = 180°

Collect like terms

2x° + 3x° + 3x° + 8° - 14° -14° = 180°

8x° -20° = 180°

8x° = 180° + 20°

8x° = 200°

x = 200/8

x = 25.0

Hence, the value of x must be 25.0. The correct option is the second option-  25.0

Step-by-step explanation:

A pilot scheduled to depart at 4:00 pm, but due to air traffic, her departure has been delayed by 10 minutes. Air traffic control approved a new flight plan that will allow her to arrive three times faster then she calculated in her original flight plan. Let x represent the time, in minutes, of her original flight. Create an equation that can be used to predict the number of minutes after 4:00 pm she will arrive at her destination.

A. Y = 1/3x + 10
B. Y = 3x + 10
C. Y = 1/3x - 10
D. Y = 3x - 10

Answers

Answer: Choice A

y = (1/3)x+10

=============================================================

Explanation:

x = number of minutes of the original flight

Because the pilot travels 3 times faster than before, it means she travels 1/3 of the original time. If she took x minutes on the original flight, then she will take (1/3)x minutes for the new faster flight.

Then add on the 10 minute delay to end up with (1/3)x+10

What is the ratio of the area of sector abc to the area of sector dbe? a. b. c. d. e.

Answers

The ratio of the area of sector abc to the area of sector dbe is 4/3

How to determine the ratio of the areas?

For sector abc, we have:

Angle = x

Radius  = 2r

For sector dbe, we have:

Angle = 3x

Radius = r

The area of a sector is:

[tex]Area =\frac{\theta}{360}* \pi r^2[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]ABC =\frac{x}{360}* \pi (2r)^2[/tex]

Evaluate

[tex]ABC =\frac{x* \pi r^2}{90}[/tex]

For DBE, we have:

[tex]DBE =\frac{3x}{360}* \pi (r)^2[/tex]

Evaluate

[tex]DBE =\frac{x}{120}* \pi r^2[/tex]

The ratio of both areas is:

[tex]Ratio = \frac{x}{90}* \pi r^2 : \frac{x}{120}* \pi r^2[/tex]

Cancel out the common factors

[tex]Ratio = \frac{1}{90} : \frac{1}{120}[/tex]

Express as fraction

[tex]Ratio = \frac{120}{90}[/tex]

Divide

[tex]Ratio = \frac{4}{3}[/tex]

Hence, the ratio of the area of sector abc to the area of sector dbe is 4/3

Divide both sides by -2.

x = -6.5

The exact length of a which is equivalent to BC is 7units

Cosine rule

A triangle is a shape with 3 sides and angles. In order to determine the sides BC, we will use the cosine rule

c² = a² + b² - 2abcosC

Given the following parameters

b = 2

c = 5√3

theta = 30 degrees

Substitute

c² = 2² + (5√3)² - 2abcos30
c² = 4 + 75 - 2(2)(5√3)*√3/2

c² = 79 - 30
c² = 49

For an experiment, Sandra needs 20 grams of a 26% solution of salt. She has two large bottles of salt water: one contains a 20% solution, and the other contains 35% solution. How much of each must she use to make the solution she needs?

Answers

The amount of grams that she must use to make the solution she needs are: 12 grams and 8 grams.

Amount of grams

x grams of 20% and 20-x grams of 35%

Hence:

0.20x+0.35(20-x)=0.26×20

0.20x-0.35x+7=5.2

Collect like terms

-0.15x=-1.80

Divide both side by -0.15x

x=-1.80/-0.15

x=12 grams of 20% or 2.4 grams pure

20-x= (20-12) =8 grams of 35% or 2.8 grams pure

Therefore the amount of grams that she must use to make the solution she needs are: 12 grams and 8 grams.
