The distance a coiled spring stretches varies directly with the amount of weight hanging on the spring. If a spring stretches 2 cm when a 30 gram weight is hung from it, how far will it stretch when a 75 gram weight is hung from the spring?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance a coiled spring stretches varies directly with the amount of weight hanging on the spring.

Distance = D

Weight = W

Hence:

D ∝ W

D = kW

Where k is constant of proportionality

Step 1

We solve for k

If a spring stretches 2 cm when a 30 gram weight is hung from it.

2 = 30k

k = 2/30

k = 1/15

Step 2

how far will it stretch when a 75 gram weight is hung from the spring?

D = kW

We are solving for D

k = 1/15

D = 1/15 × 75

D = 5 cm

The spring would stretch 5cm with a weight of 75 gram.

At the beginning of summer, Mark has $200 in savings and Ryan has $350. The brothers have mowing jobs set up for the summer. Because Mark is older, he receives $20 for each mowing job and Ryan receives $15. The brothers' parents pay for the fuel used to mow, so all of the money the brothers earn goes to savings. Write two equations, one for Mark and one for Ryan, to represent the money in savings (s) based on the number of mowing jobs (j) Mark and Ryan do. Determine the number of mowing jobs it takes for Mark to have the same amount in savings as Ryan does. Show your work.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]m = 200 + 20j[/tex]

[tex]r = 350 + 15j[/tex]

Number of jobs is 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Variable representation

Let Mark's total earnings for moving be m

Let Ryan's total earnings for moving be r

Represent the number of jobs with j

Setup equation

Mark:

[tex]Initial\ Savings = 200[/tex]

[tex]Rate = 20[/tex]

So, the total savings is:

[tex]m = 200 + 20j[/tex]

Ryan

[tex]Initial\ Savings = 350[/tex]

[tex]Rate = 15[/tex]

So, the total savings is:

[tex]r = 350 + 15j[/tex]

To get the number of jobs they save the same amount.

We have:

[tex]m = r[/tex]

Substitute values for m and r

[tex]200+20j = 350+15j[/tex]

Collect Like Terms

[tex]20j - 15j = 350 - 200[/tex]

[tex]5j = 150[/tex]

Divide both sides by 5

[tex]j = \frac{150}{5}[/tex]

[tex]j = 30[/tex]

Hence, the number of jobs is 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewrite the system of equations as:

[tex]\begin{cases}-13x+2y=90\\-6x+2y=48\end{cases}[/tex]

Subtract the second equation from the first to isolate [tex]x[/tex]:

[tex]-13x+2y-(-6x+2y)=42,\\-7x=42, \\\fbox{$x=-6$}[/tex]

Plug in [tex]x=-6[/tex] into any of the equations above and solve for [tex]y[/tex]:

[tex]-6(-6)+2y=48,\\2y=12,\\\fbox{$y=6$}[/tex]

Solve the following system using the Elimination Method; 6x+y=10 and 2x+y=12.

Answers

Hey there!

The solution to the system is [tex](\frac{1}{2}, 13)[/tex]

To solve the system, we can multiply the second equation by -1:

[tex]-2x - y = -12[/tex]

Then, we add the two equations together, and solve for x:

[tex]4x = -2[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{-1}{2}[/tex]

Now, we plug the x value into one of the equations, and solve for y:

[tex]2(\frac{1}{2} ) + y = 12[/tex]

[tex]-2 + y = 12[/tex]

[tex]y = 13[/tex]

Now we know that the solution to the system is [tex](\frac{1}{2}, 13)[/tex]

Hope it helps and have an amazing day!

Answer:

(-1/2, 13)

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply the 2nd equation by -1, obtaining the following system:

6x + y = 10

-2x  - y = -12

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

Combine like terms, obtaining:

6x + y = 10

-2x  - y = -12

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

4x     = -2

Dividing both sides by 4 yields x = -2/4, or x = -1/2

Substituting -1/2 for x in the second equation yields:

2(-1/2) + y = 12, or

-1 + y = 12.  Then y = 13, and the solution is

(-1/2, 13)

The ratio of boys to girls in a class is 3:4. There are 35 students in the class How many more girls than boys are there?

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

So let's keep the missing number as x

So the ratio becomes 3x:4x

And according to the question,

3x + 4x = 35

7x = 35

x = 35/7

x = 5

So to find the number of boys:- 3 * 5 = 15

Number of girls:- 4 * 5 = 20

Therfore, Difference = 20 - 15

= 5 students

Hope you understood :)

Answer:

5 more girls than boys

Step-by-step explanation:

When you think of ratio, imagine it this way. A ratio literally means a fraction. So, we can visualise it a similar way: a pie. Or a pizza, if you like.

In the pie, there are two groups. One are the boys and one are the girls. When you say their ratio is 3:4, it means that for every 3 boys there are 4 girls. This means that the number of boys can be represented as 3 units and the number of girls as 4 units. We just do not know how many students one unit represent, but any one unit is equal in a ratio, no matter how many groups there are.

Hence, imagine the pie as being divided into 3 slices + 4 slices. That makes 7 slices. Now we need to find out how many students forms one slice.

We know that the whole pie is made up of 35 students. There are 7 slices in the pie. Hence, to find the number of students in a slice, simply divide 35 by 7:

35/ 7 = 5

We now know one slice, or one unit, has 5 students.

Now multiply the value of the unit by how many units each group is made up of to find how many students there are in each group. 3 x 5 = 15. 4 x 5 = 20. One cool trick here is to add up the values again to see if it fits to the original sum. This helps you check your working.

We now know there are 20 girls and 15 boys, Hence, there are 20–15 = 5 more girls than boys.

Lucy borrowed $425 from Colleen. Colleen charges Lucy 5.3% interest if Lucy pays Colleen back in 3 years how much does she pay Colleen back altogether

Answers

Answer: Lucy pays $ 492.58  back altogether.

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula : Interest = Principal x Rate x Time

Given: Principal  = $425  , rate = 5.3% = 0.053 , time = 3 years

Interest = 425 x 0.053 x 3 ≈ $ 67.58

Total amount need to pay back = Principal + Interest

= $ (425+67.58)

= $ 492.58

Hence, Lucy pays $ 492.58  back altogether.
