Answer:

1.625 kilograms

Step-by-step explanation:

Since total weight of pears and apples is 6.5 kilograms and 3/4 of this weight is pears, the weight of the pears is

→ 6.5 x 3/4 = 4.875 kilograms

Since the weight of the pears is 4.875, we can subtract it from the total weight to find the weight of the apples

→ 6.5 - 4.875 = 1.625 kilograms

Answer:

1.625 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Total weight sold by the farmer =6.5 kilograms

If 3/4 of the weight is pears:

Weight proportion of apple=1-\frac{3}{4}= \frac{1}{4}

Therefore:

Weight of Apples sold at the market = \frac{1}{4} X 6.5 kg\\

=1.625 kg

The farmer sold 1.625 kilograms of apple.

A red candle is 8 inches tall and burns at a rate of 7/10 inch per hour. A blue candle is 6 inches tall and burns at a rate of 1
kogti [31]

Answer:

The heights are the same after 4 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

The red candle burns at a rate of 7/10 inches per hour. In t hours, (7/10)t inches have burned. The height of the candle after t hours is 8 - (7/10)t.

The blue candle burns at a rate of 1/5 inch per hour. In t hours, (1/5)t inches have burned. The height of the candle after t hours is 6 - (1/5)t.

You need to find the time, t, when their heights are equal.

8 - (7/10)t = 6 - (1/5)t

Multiply both sides by 10 (the LCD).

80 - 7t = 60 - 2t

-5t = -20

t = 4

The heights are the same after 4 hours.

What is the finance charge on $13,300 financed at 7.9 percent for 4 years if the monthly payment per $100 is $2.44?
luda_lava [24]

If you borrowed $100, then your monthly payment is $2.44

If you borrowed $200, then your monthly payment is 2*2.44 = 4.88

etc etc

We can set up a proportion

2.44/100 = x/13300

to figure out the monthly payment x. Cross multiply and solve for x

2.44*13300 = 100*x

100x = 2.44*13300

100x = 32452

x = 32452/100

x = 324.52

So the monthly payment is $324.52

An alternative way to get this monthly payment is to apply 2.44% to 13300, which is another way to view the phrase  "monthly payment per $100 is 2.44"

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

There are 48 months in 4 years (start with 12 mon = 1 yr, then multiply both sides by 4) so we multiply 48 by the monthly payment to get the result 48*324.52 = 15,576.96. This is the total amount you have to pay back which is the principal plus interest.

Subtract off the principal (amount borrowed) to find the interest or finance charge: 15,576.96 - 13,300 = 2,276.96

Given circle X with radius 10 units and chord AB with length 12 units, what is the length of segment CX, which bisects the chord
andrew-mc [135]
Consider the circle with center X, as shown in the figure. 

Draw the diameter of the circle which is parallel to cherd AB, as shown in the figure.

Since the diameter and AB are parallel, then the line segment XC which bisects AB at C, will be perpendicular to AB.

SO triangle XCB is a right triangle. Thus the length of CX, by the Pythagorean theorem is  

\sqrt{ XB^{2}- CB^{2}} = \sqrt{ 10^{2}- CB^{6}}= \sqrt{100-36}= \sqrt{64}=8 units.


Answer: 8 units

Assume that x is a char variable has been declared and already given a value. Write an expression whose value is true if and onl
Lorico [155]

Answer:

bool b = isupper(x);

Step-by-step explanation:

I have written the expression for a char variable x.The isupper(x) will return true if the character x is upper case and false if the character x is lower case.

I have stored the returned value to a bool variable b .So the value of variable b will be true only when the x is in uppercase and false when b is lower case.

Use the quadratic formula to solve the equation. If necessary, round to the nearest hundredth. −2y2 + 6y = −2
andrezito [222]
-2y^2 + 6y + 2 = 0
a = -2, b = 6, c = 2
x = (- b + - sqrt(b^2-4ac))/(2a)
x=(-6+-sqrt(36-4*-2*2))/-4
x=(-6+-sqrt(36+16))/-4
x=(-6+-sqrt(52))/-4
x = (-6 +- 2sqrt13)/-4
x = (3 + - sqrt13)/2
