A paper company needs to ship paper to a large printing business. The paper will be shipped in small boxes and large boxes. The

volume of each small box is 7 cubic feet and the volume of each large box is 13 cubic feet. A total of 26 boxes of paper were shipped with a combined volume of 254 cubic feet. Determine the number of small boxes shipped and the number of large boxes shipped.

Answer:14 small boxes and 12 large boxes were shipped.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of small boxes of paper that were shipped.

Let y represent the number of large boxes of paper that were shipped.

A total of 26 boxes of paper were shipped. This means that

x + y = 26

The volume of each small box is 7 cubic feet and the volume of each large box is 13 cubic feet. The total number of boxes shipped have a combined volume of 254 cubic feet. This means that

7x + 13y = 254 - - - - - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting x = 26 - y into equation 1, it becomes

7(26 - y) + 13y = 254

182 - 7y + 13y = 254

- 7y + 13y = 254 - 182

6y = 72

y = 72/6 = 12

x = 26 - y = 26 - 12

x = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say S is the number of small boxes and L is the number of large boxes.

S + L = 26

7S + 13L = 254

Solve the system of equations using substitution.

7S + 13(26 − S) = 254

7S + 338 − 13S = 254

84 − 6S = 0

S = 14

L = 26 − S

L = 12

The company shipped 14 small boxes and 12 large boxes.

Which would prove that ΔABC ~ ΔXYZ? Select TWO options.
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

\frac{BA}{YX}=\frac{BC}{YZ}, ∠C ≅∠Z

\frac{AC}{XZ}=\frac{BA}{YX}, ∠A≅∠X

\frac{BA}{YX}=\frac{BC}{YZ}=\frac{AC}{XZ}

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two triangles are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional and its corresponding angles are congruent

so

In this problem

The corresponding sides are

BA and YX  

BC and YZ

AC and XZ

The corresponding angles are

∠A and ∠X

∠B and ∠Y

∠C and ∠Z

so

\frac{BA}{YX}=\frac{BC}{YZ}=\frac{AC}{XZ}

and

∠A≅∠X

∠B≅∠Y

∠C ≅∠Z

therefore

\frac{BA}{YX}=\frac{BC}{YZ}, ∠C ≅∠Z

\frac{AC}{XZ}=\frac{BA}{YX}, ∠A≅∠X

\frac{BA}{YX}=\frac{BC}{YZ}=\frac{AC}{XZ}

DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

The probability that a randomly selected person is not color blind is 0.958

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

C represents red-green color blindness,

Also, the probability that a randomly selected person is color blind,

P(C) = 0.042,

Thus, probability that a randomly selected person is not color blind,

P(C') = 1 - P(C) = 1 - 0.042 = 0.958

adoni [48]

complete question:

A ship traveled for a total of 85 miles over the course of 5 hours. Heading west, the ship traveled at an average speed of 14 miles per hour, and heading north, it traveled at an average speed of 19 miles per hour. For how many hours was the ship heading north?

Answer:

The ship heading north traveled for 3 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

A ship travels for a total of 85 miles over the course of 5 hours journey. The speed of the journey can be calculated below.

speed = distance/time

total distance = 85

total time = 5 hours

speed = 85/5

speed = 17  miles/hr

West direction

Heading west the ship traveled at an average speed of 14 miles per hour. The speed can be represented for this journey as follows.

speed = distance/time

14 = dist/time

let

a = time traveled west

distance = 14a

North direction

speed = dist/time

19 = dist/time

time travel north = 5 - a

distance = 19(5 - a)

distance = 95 - 19a

Total distance traveled = 85 miles

85 = 14a + 95 - 19a

85 = -5a + 95

-10 = -5a

a = -10/-5

a = 2

The ship heading north will travel for 5 - 2 = 3 hours
