Answer:

The least possible number of coins that Pirate Jack has is 77.

Step-by-step explanation:

i) let the number of coins in the piles for the parrots be x.

ii) therefore we can say that the total number of coins be 7x + 4

iii) let the number of coins in the piles for for the pirates be y.

iv) therefore we can say that the total number of coins be 11y + 4

v) therefore we can say that 7x + 4 = 11y + 4

vi) therefore 7x = 11y

vii) therefore the least possible number of coins that Pirate Jack has is equal to the LCM of 11 and 7 which is 77.

viii) x = 11 and  y = 7

An angle passes through the point (-7,-5). What is the compass heading of this angle?
umka21 [38]
To find the angle use arc tan (-5/-7) which simplifies tips arctan(5/7). arc tan is tan to the power -1, which is also called inverse tan. The heading of the angle, if you drew this out on a graph your angle would be in the third quadrant and therefore the heading is south of west.

How much alfalfa does Helmut need to add to 30L of ostrich pellets to make a feed mix that is 40% alfalfa by volume?
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

  a = 20 . . . . liters

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, multiply the equation by 30+a:

  a = 0.4(30 +a)

  a = 12 + 0.4a . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  0.6a = 12 . . . . . . . . subtract 0.4a

  a = 12/0.6 = 20 . . . divide by the coefficient of a

20 L of alfalfa must be added

_____

<em>Check</em>

  20/(30+20) = 20/50 = 40/100 = 0.4 . . . . . . answer checks OK

The ratio of losses to wins for Kyle's team is 3 to 2. If the team had played the same number of games, but had won twice as man
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer: The new ratio will be 1/4

Explanation: The initial ratio of losses to wins is 3 to 2. If we sum the numer of losses and wins 3 + 2 = 5 games, that means they loss 3 out of 5 games , and they win 2 out of 5 games.

So if they had won twice as many of the games, that is 2*2=4. And since the number of games is the same ( 5 ), then they would have won 4 games and loss only 1.

So the new ratio of losses to wins will be 1 to 4, or expressed in a fraction: 1/4
