There are 2 boys for every 3 girls in Sappy Sunshine Childcare center. If there are a total of 171 girls at the center, how many boys are there? (do not include units in your answer, just the number)

Answers

Answer:

114 boys

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved using a rule of three.

For each 2 boys, there are 3 girls on the center. So, how many boys will be there when there are 171 girls?

2 boys - 3 girls

x boys - 171 girls

[tex]3x = 2*171[/tex]

Simplifying both sides by 3

[tex]x = 2*57 = 114[/tex]

There are 114 boys there

Using your knowledge of inverse operations, the inverse operation for the equation 4,560/120 = 38 is ______?


38/120 = 4,560


38 * 120 = 4,560


4,560/38 = 120


4,560 * 38 = 120

Answers

Given:

The equation is

[tex]\dfrac{4560}{120}=38[/tex]

To find:

The inverse operation for the equation using the knowledge of inverse operations.

Solution:

We have,

[tex]\dfrac{4560}{120}=38[/tex]

Here, 4560 is divided by 120. So, in this equation the operation is division.

We know that inverse operation of division is multiplication. So, multiply both sides by 120.

[tex]\dfrac{4560}{120}\times 120=38\times 120[/tex]

[tex]4560=38\times 120[/tex]

It can be written as

[tex]38\times 120=4560[/tex]

The inverse operation for the equation is [tex]38\times 120=4560[/tex].

Therefore, the correct option is B.

*NOT MY WORK ITS FROM SOMEONE ELSE WHO ASKED THE SAME PROBLEM*

Answer: x=15, y= 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer: x=15, y=10

*Note: x and y are only variables used to solve this problem, but know that the two numbers are 15 and 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, we can use system of equations. Let's use x for one number and y for the other.

First Equation:

x+y=25

We get this equation because it states that the sum of the two numbers is 25.

Second Equation:

y=x-5

We get this equation because it says one number (y) is 5 less than the other (x).

Since we have two equations, we can use substitution method to solve.

                                 [distribute 1 to (x-5)]

                                    [combine like terms]

                                        [add both sides by 5]

                                               [divide both sides by 2]

Now that we have x, we can plug it into any of the equations to find y.

                                         [plug in x=15]

                                        [subtract both sides by 15]

Finally, we have our answer, x=15 and y=10.

X+x-5=25
2x-5= 25
2x=30
X=15
So the larger number is 15 , it’s easy to figure it out but you could get mark for workingnout

1. Patrick is saving money to buy a video game that costs $68.


Part A. Patrick receives $6 every week for doing chores at home. Patrick spends $2.00 every week and saves the rest.
How many full weeks will it take Patrick to save enough money to purchase the video game? Show your work and justify your answer.



Part B. Patrick can earn extra money by cutting grass. His neighbors will pay him $4.00 for each lawn that takes him 30 minutes. What is the amount of time, in extra HOURS, that Patrick would have to spend cutting grass to be able to buy a second $68 video game for his friend? Show your work to justify your answer.

Answers

Answer:

Part A - 17 full weeks

Part B - 8 hours and 30 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Key skills needed: Rate of change, Equation Creating & Solving

PART A

1) We need to make an equation for the amount of money Patrick saves each week. He earns $6.00 and then spends $2.00

Since he saves the rest, the amount of money he saves each week is

---> $6.00 - $2.00 = $6 - $2 = $4

2) Since Patrick saves $4 a week, let's say that the number of weeks is "[tex]w[/tex]"

Since the game costs $68 we can make the equation

--> [tex]4w = 68[/tex]

4 is the money he saves each week.

w is the number of weeks he saves

68 is the cost of the game

3) Divide by 4 on both sides and you will get --> [tex]w = 17[/tex]

(68 divided by 4 is equal to 17)

Therefore 17 full weeks is your answer.

Part B

1) Patrick earns 4 dollars for each lawn mowed. Each lawn takes 30 minutes to mow.

30 minutes is half an hour ---> This means that for each hour he would be making $8 (since $4 x 2 = $8)

2)  So if we say the number of hours is "[tex]h[/tex]", the equation we can make is

---> [tex]8h = 68[/tex]

8 is the money he makes per hour

h is the number of hours he mows the lawns

68 is the cost of the game he wants to buy for his friend

3) Divide both sides by 8 and you will get

--> [tex]h = 8.5[/tex]

(68 divided by 8 is 8.5 (8 and a half))

This means that he needs to mow lawns for 8.5 hours in order to buy the video game for his friend.

8.5 hours is the same as 8 hours and 30 minutes, which is the answer.

Hope you understand and have a nice day!! :D

Answer:

No. It is an inverse variation.

Step-by-step explanation:

6= xy

For a direct variation, the equation would be in the form of y=kx, where k is a constant.

However, the equation above is in the form of [tex]y = \frac{k}{x} [/tex].

When the mean of two numbers is the same as one of the numbers, then the other number also has that same value. This is true for any kind of mean:

arithmetic, geometric, harmonic.

The other number would be 7.

The geometric mean (m) of a and b is ...

D. The graph of x=2(y-4) crosses the y-axis higher than the graph of x=5(y-4)

Answer:

B is the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

because x=2y-8 is same as y=1/2 x+4 x=5y-20 is the same as y=1/5 x+4 slope of the first is 1/2 slope of the second is 1/5 so 1/2>1/5

there y intercept are the same which is 4

The graph of x=2(y-4) has greater slope than the graph of x=5(y-4), the correct option is B.

What is the standard equation of a line?

The standard equation of a line is given by

y = mx+c

Here m is the slope and c is the y intercept

The slope can be determined by

m = (y₂ -y₁)/(x₂ -x₁)

The equation of the line is

x=2(y-4)

x=5(y-4)

y =  (1/2)x +4  

y = (1/5)x +4

The slope is (1/2) and (1/5),
