Answers

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

Sarah is 7Bob is 14Nellie is 17

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s, b, n represent the current ages of Sarah, Bob, and Nellie, respectively.

  s = b/2 . . . . . . Sarah is half Bob's age

  2(s+3) = n+3 . . . . in 3 years, Nellie will be twice Sarah's age

  s + b + n = 38 . . . . . their ages now add to 38

__

We can rearrange the first two equations to find Bob and Nellie's age in terms of Sarah's. Then we can substitute into the third equation to find Sarah's age.

  b = 2s . . . . . . multiply the first equation by 2

  2s +3 = n . . . . subtract 3 from the second equation and simplify

  s +(2s) +(2s+3) = 38 . . . . substitute for b and n

  5s = 35 . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 3, collect terms

  s = 7 . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 5

  b = 2(7) = 14

  n = 2(7) +3 = 17

Sarah is 7, Bob is 14, and Nellie is 17.

A bag contains 170 marbles. There are red, blue and yellow marbles in a ratio of 9:3:5. How many yellow marbles does the bag contain?

Answers

Answer:

50 yellow marbles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Information:

170 marbles

RED : BLUE : YELLOW

9 : 3 : 5

Solving:

To find out how many yellow parts there are, we need to find out how many marbles 5 parts account to.

Altogether, 9 + 3 + 5 = 17. This means there are 17 parts.

The bag contains 170 marbles and the ratio adds up to 17 parts.

We can figure out what 1 part of the ratio accounts to by dividing 170 by 17.

[tex]\frac{170}{17}[/tex] = 10.

1 part = 10

Now remember yellow is 5 parts, now that we know that 1 part is 10, we need to multiply 10 by 5 to find out how many yellow marbles we have.

5 x 10 = 50.

Therefore we have 50 yellow marbles.

The number of yellow marbles in the bag is 50

Ratio shows the relationship among numbers. Ratio is the frequency a value is contained in other values.  For example, if the ratio of boys to girls in a class is 2:1. It means that there are twice as many boys in the class as there are boys.

In order to determine the number of yellow marbles in the bag, express the ratio of the yellow marbles as the sum of the total ratio and multiply by the total number of marbles in the bag.

Number of yellow marbles = (ratio of yellow marbles / sum of ratios) x total number of marbles

Sum of ratios = 9 + 3 + 5 = 17

(5 / 17) x 170 = 50 marbles.

Is my answer correct? ^ means exponent

Answers

Answer:

(x-6)^2 + (y+3)^2= 144

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a circle can be written in the form

(x-h) ^2 + (y-k) ^2 = r^2 where (h,k) is the center and r is the radius

( x-6) ^2 + ( y--3)^2 = 12^2

(x-6)^2 + (y+3)^2= 144

What is p (blue)? ......

Answers

Answer:

P(blue)= 0.25 or 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

On this spinner, each spot is the same size; therefore, there is a 1 in 4 chance that the spinner lands on blue. This is because there are 4 options but only one of them is blue. Then, if you want a decimal just divide 1 by 4. This equals 0.25. Additionally. If you wanted the answer as a percentage multiply the decimal by 100, so the percentage would be 25%.

The normal blood glucose level is between 70 mg/dL and 130 mg/dL. Write a compound inequality to represent the values at which blood glucose is not normal.

Answers

Let the input be x

x is greater than or equal to 70mg/dl.x is less than or equal to 130mg/dl.

[tex]\\ \rm\Rrightarrow x\geqslant 70mg/dl[/tex]

[tex]\\ \rm\Rrightarrow x\leqslant 130mg/dl[/tex]

Now

[tex]\\ \rm\Rrightarrow 70mg/dl\leqslant x\leqslant 130mg/dl[/tex]

Or

[tex]\\ \rm\Rrightarrow 130mg/dl\geqslant x\geqslant 70mg/dl[/tex]

Answer:

70 ≤ x ≤ 130

130 ≥ x ≥ 70

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that a persons glucose level can only be equal to or between 70 and 130 mg/dL. We can create an inequality to represent this;

70 < x < 130

This means that anything in between will work but anything less or more will not. You can also write this inequality as 130 > x > 70.

In word form you would say this:

A humans glucose level can only be more than or equal to 70 and less than or equal to 130.

Final grades are often computed using weighted averages. Some college professors use complicated weighted averages. Your college professor tells you he will give a 33%-67% split on grades between tests and homework where whichever average is higher will be the 67%.

What will your final grade be if your homework average is 95 and your test average is 56?

Answer value

Answers

Using weighed averages, it is found that your final grade will be of 82.13.

-----------------------------------

The weighed average is given by the sum of the grades multiplied by it' weights.The homework grade is 95.The test grade is 56.The higher grade is worth 67% of the grade. Thus, the homework grade, of 95, is worth 67% of the final grade.The lower grade is worth 33% of the grade. Thus, the test grade, of 56, is worth 33% of the final grade.

Using the data and the weighed average concept, the final grade is:

[tex]G = 0.67(95) + 0.33(56) = 82.13[/tex]

The final grade is 82.13.
