Answer:

13 children and 9 adults if the total cost is $152.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x children and y adults

x + y = 22 (1)

5.5x + 9y = 125.5 (2)

y = 22 - x

5.5x + 9(22 - x) = 125.5

5.5x + 198 - 9x = 125.5

-3.5x = 125.5 - 198

-3.5x = -72.5

x = 20.7

y = 22 - x = 1.3

Which is not possible

If the total cost is $152.5

x + y = 22 (1)

5.5x + 9y = 152.5 (2)

y = 22 - x

5.5x + 9(22 - x) = 152.5

5.5x + 198 - 9x = 152.5

-3.5x = 152.5 - 198

-3.5x = -45.5

x = 13

y = 22 - 13 = 9

Without using a calculator, choose the statement that best describes the value of the square root of 46
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

The value of √46 is between 6.5 and 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use perfect squares to solve this problem.

1² = 1

2² = 4

3² = 9

4² = 16

5² = 25

6² = 36

7² = 49

A square root reverses the squaring operation. Therefore, if we take the square root of 49, we will get 7.

So, because 46 fits in the interval 36 < 46 < 49, we can solve this problem.

√36 = 6

√46 = ?

√49 = 7

Therefore, using this information, we can see that clearly the value of 46 is closer to 49, meaning that the square root of 46 is between 6.5 and 7.

Mrs. Kermit has 29 markers. She gives 12 markers to Mr. Cooke and divides the rest among 5 other teachers. If each of the teache
romanna [79]

Answer: 2 markers.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You know that she gives 12 markers to Mr. Cooke, then the rest among is:

29 markers-12 markers=17 markers

2. She divides the rest among 5 other teachers and each one of them get the same number of markers. So, you need to divide 17 markers by 5 teachers as following:

17 markers/5=3.4 markers

3. But the number of marker each one teacher has can't be a decimal number, so this number must be: 3 markers for each teacher.

3. The number of markers that will be left over is:

17 markers-(5*3 markers)=2 markers

John has taken out a loan for college. He started paying off the loan with a first payment of $100. Each month he pays, he wants
sergeinik [125]
<span>Let a_0 = 100, the first payment. Every subsequent payment is the prior payment, times 1.1. In order to represent that, let a_n be the term in question. The term before it is a_n-1. So a_n = 1.1 * a_n-1. This means that a_19 = 1.1*a_18, a_18 = 1.1*a_17, etc. To find the sum of your first 20 payments, this sum is equal to a_0+a_1+a_2+...+a_19. a_1 = 1.1*a_0, so a_2 = 1.1*(1.1*a_0) = (1.1)^2 * a_0, a_3 = 1.1*a_2 = (1.1)^3*a_3, and so on. So the sum can be reduced to S = a_0 * (1+ 1.1 + 1.1^2 + 1.1^3 + ... + 1.1^19) which is approximately $5727.50</span>

The tunnel is made of two shapes and we can find the volume of each.
Cuboid volume=15×5×30=2250 cu yds.
Half cylinder volume=π(7.5)²30/2=843.75π=2649.38 cu yds.
Total volume=4899.38 cu yds.
