Ferdie was having a big party and he was excited. He had been practicing his opening lines all week and as soon as he he got to the part, 20 girls at the party left. There now remained 2 boys for each girl. A lot of the other boys thought the party was pathetic, so 20 of the boys also left. There were now 3 times as many girls as boys. How many boys and girls were at the party when Ferdie got there?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: Boys = 24

Girls = 32

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original number of boys = b

Let the original number of girls = g

The following can be further gotten from the question:

When 20 girls left, the equation can be written as:

b = 2(g - 20)

b = 2g - 40 ........ equation i

When 20 boys left, the equation can be written as:

(g-20) = 3(b-20) ......... equation ii

Substitute the value of b into equation ii and solve.

(g-20) = 3(b-20)

g - 20 = 3(2g - 40 - 20)

g - 20 = 3(2g - 60)

g - 20 = 6g - 180

6g - g = 180 - 20

5g = 160

g = 160/5

g = 32

Therefore, the original number of girls = 32.

The original number of boys will be:

b = 2g - 40

b = 2(32) - 40

= 64 - 40

= 24

Totsakan and Lea each improved their yards by planting hostas and geraniums. They bought their supplies from the same store. Totsakan spent $178 on 14 hostas and 12 geraniums. Lea spent $71 on 7 hostas and 4 geraniums. What is the cost of one hosta and the cost of one geranium?

Answers

Answer:

The cost of one hosts is $5 and the coat of one geranium is $9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of one hosta be x

Let the cost of one geranium be y

If Totsakan spent $178 on 14 hostas and 12 geraniums, then the expression to represent this statement will be;

14x+12y = 178

7x+6y = 89 .... 1

Also if Lea spent $71 on 7 hostas and 4 geraniums, the the expression that represent the statement is;

7x+4y = 71..... 2

Subtract equation 1 from 2:

(7x-7x)+(6y-4y) =89-71

0+2y = 18

2y = 18

y = 18/2

y = 9

Substitute y = 9 into equation 1:

7x+6(9) = 89

7x +54 = 89

7x = 89-54

7x = 35

x = 35/7

x = 5

Therefore the cost of one hosts is $5 and the coat of one geranium is $9

What is the value of n 10/2 = 4/n

1. 20

2. 35

3. 25

4. 30

Answers

Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

We can simplify 10/2 = 5

5 = n/4

Multiply each side by 4

5*4 = n/4*4

20 =n

Answer: n = 20

Explanation: To solve for n in this proportion,

we simply use the means-extremes property.

Since 10/2 = n/4, we know that the product of the extremes,

(10)(4), equals the product of the means, (2)(n).

So we know that (10)(4) or 40 equals (2)(n) or 2n.

Dividing both sides by 2, 20 = n.

A trapezoid has a base of 4.5 inches, a height of 6 inches, and an area of 21 square inches. The equation below can be used to determine b2, the length in inches of the second base of the trapezoid.



12(4.5+b2)(6)=21



What is the length, in inches, of the second base of the trapezoid?

Answers

Answer:

The second base of the trapezoid b2 is 2.5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to calculate the second base of the trapezoid.

Mathematically, the area of a trapezoid can be given as;

A = 1/2(a + b) h

where a and b represents the parallel bases and h is the height of the trapezoid

so this, we have from the question

1/2(4.5 + b2) * 6 = 21

3(4.5 + b2) = 21

divide both sides by 3

4.5 + b2 = 7

b2 = 7-4.5

b2 = 2.5 inches

The value of y is directly proportional to the value of x. If y = 35 when x = 140, what is the value of y when x = 70?

Answers

Answer:

y = 17.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the direct proportion equation, y = kx

Plug in the x and y values to solve for k

y = kx

35 = k(140)

0.25 = k

Then, plug in the k value and given x value into the equation, and solve for y

y = kx

y = 0.25(70)

y = 17.5

Asia woke up late. It is 5:45 a.M. And is trying to decide if she has enough time to catch the bus. If it takes her 5 minutes to throw on an outfit, a minimum of twice as long to do her hair and make-up, and eight minutes longer than that to walk to the bus stop. Her bus driver regularly arrives at 6:15 am. Will she make it?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If Asia woke up by 5:45am and her bus regularly arrives at 6:15 am, the the total amount of time Asia needs to finish up to meet the bus is time within this interval of time i.e 30mintes.

Total time taken to dress up:

Time taken to throw an outfit = 5minutes

Time taken to do her hair and make up = 2(5) = 10 minutes

Time to walk to bus stop = 5+8 = 13minutes(8 minutes longer)

Total time she took to finish up and get to the bus = 5+10+13 = 28 minutes

Since the time used by Asia is less than the 30 minutes expected of her hence she will meet the bus

Answer:

She would be 3 minutes late.

Step-by-step explanation:

The time difference between 5:45 am and 6:15 am = 30 minutes

If it takes her 5 minutes to throw on an outfit = 5 minutes

A minimum of twice as long to do her hair and make-up = ≤ 5 × 2

≤ 10 minutes

Eight minutes longer than that to walk to the bus stop.

= 8 minutes longer than how long it takes her to do her hair and makeup

= 10 + 8

= 18 minutes

Total number of times it takes her to make it to the busstop

=( 5 + 10 + 18)minutes

= 33 minutes

Therefore, she will not make it because she would be 3 minutes late.

The ingredients are doubled in the large Totally Turkey Sandwich. On Wednesday, three times as many customers ordered the regular sandwich as the large sandwich. If 27 customers ordered the regular sandwich, how many total slices of turkey were used to make the sandwiches that day?

Answers

Answer:

45 slices of turkey used

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to figure out this problem we first need to calculate the total amount of sandwiches that were ordered. Since 27 regular sandwiches were ordered and we know that three times as many customers ordered the regular sandwich as the large sandwich. Then we simply divide 27 by 3 to find out how many large sandwiches were ordered.

27 / 3 = 9 large sandwiches.

Now, assuming that each regular sandwich only takes one slice of turkey, we can multiply 9 by 2 since each large sandwich takes double the slices and add that to 27 to calculate the total number of slices used in all of the sandwiches for that day.

(9*2) + 27 = s

18 + 27 = s

45 = s

There were a total of 45 slices of turkey used.
