While watching a circus show, I counted out the number of acrobats and elephants. I counted 40 legs and 15 heads. How many acrobats did I see in the show?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

y=10 ( number of acrobat)

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be the elephant and y the acrobat

elephant has 4 legs and acrobat 2

4x+2y=40

x+y=15  ⇒x=15-y

substitute for x in the equation:

4(15-y)+2y=40

60-4y+2y=40

-2y=40-60

y=-20/-2

y=10 ( number of acrobat)

number of elephant=15-10=5 elephants

respectively, find the height of the pyramid.

adean of the same
The heich​

Answers

Answer:

9 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height of the pyramid be h cm, then the height of the cuboid is (15 - h) cm.

Volume of the pyramid:

= 1/3 * h * s^2      where s is the length of a side of the square base.

= hs^2/3 cm^3

Volume of the cuboid:

= s^2(15 - h).

So we have:

hs^2/ 3 = 300.......................(1)

s^2(15 - h) = 600..................(2)

From  equation (1) :

h s^2 = 900

s^2 = 900/h

Now substitute for s^2 in  equation (2) :

(900/h)(15 - h) = 600

Multiply through by h:

900(15 - h) = 600h

13500 - 900h = 600h

1500h = 13500

h = 9 cm (answer).

If the total height of the solid is 15 cm. If the volume of the pyramid and cuboid are 300 cm and 600 cm respectively, then height of pyramid is 9cm.

What is Three dimensional shape?

a three dimensional shape can be defined as a solid figure or an object or shape that has three dimensions—length, width, and height.

Let the height of the pyramid be h cm, then the height of the cuboid is (15 - h) cm.

Volume of the pyramid:

300= 1/3 ×h×s²  

300= hs²/3

hs²=900

Volume of the cuboid:

600= s² (15 - h).

600=15s²-hs²

600=15s²-900

600+900=15s²

1500=15s²

100=s²

s=10

Now substitute s value in hs²=900

h(100)=900

Divide both sides by 100

h=9cm

Hence height of the pyramid is 9cm.

if R is inversely proportional to S and r=15 when S =12 what is the value of S when R =60​

Answers

Answer:

s = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The variation above is written as

[tex]R = \frac{k}{S} [/tex]

Where k is the constant of variation

when R = 15

S = 12

k = R × S

k = 15 × 12

k = 180

So the formula for the variation is

[tex]R = \frac{180}{S} [/tex]

When R = 60

We have

[tex]60 = \frac{180}{S} [/tex]

Cross multiply

That's

60S = 180

Divide both sides by 60

S = 3

Given the system of equations

[tex]x+y=6 \\-6x+8y = 6[/tex]

From the first equation:

x+y=6

Making y the subject, we have:

y=-x+6

Substituting y=-x+6 into the second equation, we obtain:

The correct option is C.

NOTE: The goal of substitution is to reduce the number of unknown variables to 1. Therefore, after the substitution, if you still have the two unknown, you might have done something incorrect.

Question in screenshot answer must be in cm

Answers

Answer:

30.5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

0 < h ≤ 10 ⇔ Midpoint = 5

10 < h ≤ 20 ⇔ Midpoint = 15

20 < h ≤ 30 ⇔ Midpoint = 25

30 < h ≤ 40 ⇔ Midpoint = 35

40 < h ≤ 50 ⇔ Midpoint = 45

50 < h ≤ 60 ⇔ Midpoint = 55

Multiply each corresponding midpoint with it's frequency

(5 × 1) + (15 × 4) + (25 × 7) + (35 × 2) + (45 × 3) + (55 × 3) = 610

Divide the total of 610 by the frequencies added together

610 ÷ (1 + 4 + 7 + 2 + 3 + 3) = 610 ÷ 20 = 30.5

Abigail and Liza work as carpenters for different companies. Abigail earns $20

per hour at her company and Liza earns $25 per hour at her company. Last

week, Abigail and Liza worked for a total of 30 hours and together earned atotal of $690. How many hours did Liza work last week?

Answer as detailed as possible. Thanks :)

Answers

Answer:

L = 18 = hours worked by Lisa

a = 12 = hours worked by Abigail

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Abigail's earning = $20

Lisa's earning = $25

Last week :

Let number of hours worked by Abigail = a

Number of hours worked by Lisa = L

Total earning = $690

Total hours worked :

a + L = 30 - - - - (1)

To obtain their total earning:

(Lisa's earning per hour * hours worked) + (Abigail's earning per hour * hours worked)). $690

($25 * L) + ($20 * a) = $690

25L + 20a = 690 - - - - (2)

a + L = 30 - - - - (1)

25L + 20a = 690 - - - - (2)

L = 30 - a

25(30 - a) + 20a = 690

750 - 25a + 20a = 690

-5a = 690 - 750

-5a = - 60

a = 12

From (1)

a + L = 30 - - - - (1)

12 + L = 30

L = 30 - 12

L = 18

L = 18 = hours worked by Lisa

a = 12 = hours worked by Abigail

Paul is a year older than his wife and they have two children who are also one year apart. Paul notices that on his birthday in 2011, the product of his age and his wife's age plus the sum of his children's ages is 2011. What would have been the result if he had done this calculation thirteen years before?

Answers

Answer:

997

Step-by-step explanation:

Well let's find the square root of 2011 because Paul and his wife are about the same age.

[tex]\sqrt{2011}[/tex]

= 44.8

Paul is 45 and his wife is 44.

44 + 45 = 1980.

2011 - 1980

= 31

So the children are 15 and 16.

45 + 44 + 15 + 16

= 997

Paul and wife - 45 and 44

Children - 15 and 16

Thus,

13 years ago they would be 997.

Six friends went to a restaurant and agreed to share the bill equally. However, two people forgot their wallets so the other four friends' portions of the bill went up by $7 each. How many dollars was the total bill?

Answers

Answer:

The total bill was $84

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok so we know a few things, we know that the total cost of the bill is divisible by both 6 and 4, and we know that if we call the total cost of the bill x and the amount each person would pay if it was divided for 6 people y we can write these equations:

[tex]\frac{x}{6}=y[/tex]

[tex]\frac{x}{4}=y+7[/tex]

Now we can substitute the first equation into the second and solve for x

[tex]\frac{x}{4}=\frac{x}{6}+7\\\frac{x}{4}-\frac{x}{6}=7\\\frac{x}{12}=7\\x=7*12=84[/tex]

Therefore, the total bill was $84

Answer:

C)

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope of FG = [tex]\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}[/tex]

                    = [tex]\frac{8-1}{9-[-5]}=\frac{7}{9+5}\\\\[/tex]

The base of a regular pyramid is a hexagon.

Answers

If you think about it, a hexagon can be cut into 6 equilateral triangles. Because of this, all you need to do is find the area of one triangle and multiply it by 6. Since the side length of one triangle is 12, we know that is the base. Since the triangles that are created when cutting the equilateral triangle in half are both 30 60 90, the height must be 6(3)^1/3. We can then multiply 12 • 6 radical 3 •1/2 to get 36 radical 3. Multiply this by 6 and get 216 radical 3 units squared.
