A small fruit basket with 6 apples and 6 oranges costs $7.50. A different fruit basket with 10 apples and 5 oranges costs $8.75.

If x is the cost of one apple and y is the cost of one orange, the system of equations below can be used to determine the cost of one apple and one orange. 6x+6y=7.50 10x+5y=8.75

Answer:

x = $0.50

y= $0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Multiply the equations to have the same coefficients

5(6x + 6y = 7.5) → 30x + 30y = 37.5

3(10x + 5y = 8.75) → 30x + 15y = 26.25

2. Subtract the equations

 30x + 30y = 37.5

<u>- 30x + 15y = 26.25</u>

15y = 11.25

3. Solve for y by dividing both sides by 15

y = 0.75

4. Plug in 0.75 for y into one of the equations

6x + 6(0.75) = 7.5

5. Simplify

6x + 4.5 = 7.5

6. Solve for x

6x = 3

x = 0.5

The length of the bar for a high jump competition must always be 4.75 m. Express this measurement in millimeters. Explain your t
Elena-2011 [213]

4,750 mm

Equation with an exponent 4.75 x 10^{3} = 4,750

First, it's important to know that there are 1,000 millimeters in 1 meter. Second, it's important to know that 10^{3} is the same as 1,000. In order to find out how many millimeters are in 4.75 meters, one must multiply 4.75 by 1,000.

<h3>Further Explanation</h3>

Meters

A meter is a unit of metric measurement. Track and Field events use the metric system because it is a universal unit of measurement. Inches and feet are not units used all over the world. The Olympic Games use the metric system so this is the system that is universally adopted throughout the world for many sporting events, including track and field. Sports that are more commonly attributed to the USA and not an Olympic event often uses the US system. An example is football. The field is measured in yards instead of meters.

Millimeters

The prefix milli- means 1,000. Often it is used to denote a thousandth unit of measurement in the metric system. This is a useful item to know because it can be applied to many different math terms such as millimeters or milliliters.

Exponents

An exponent is the amount of times a number is multiplied to itself. For example 4^{2} is the same as 4 x 4 = 16. This is a faster way to write repeated multiplication.

Remember multiplication is a faster way to write repeated addition! Exponents are a faster way to write repeated multiplication.

First thing to do is to remember, that the circumference of the full circle is 2(6)pi--12pi.  you only want about 120 of it so (120/360)=1/3, so you add it into the thing earlier to get, 12pi(1/3)=4pi =12.566... which you can round into 12.6.  This is answer choice A.

A university warehouse has received a shipment of 25 printers, of which 10 are laser printers and 15 are inkjet models. If 6 of
Tanya [424]

Answer:

The probability is 0.31

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the probability, we will consider the following approach. Given a particular outcome, and considering that each outcome is equally likely, we can calculate the probability by simply counting the number of ways we get the desired outcome and divide it by the total number of outcomes.

In this case, the event of interest is  choosing 3 laser printers and 3 inkjets. At first, we have a total of 25 printers and we will be choosing 6 printers at random. The total number of ways in which we can choose 6 elements out of 25 is \binom{25}{6}, where \binom{n}{k} = \frac{n!}{(n-k)!k!}. We have that \binom{25}{6} = 177100

Now, we will calculate the number of ways to which we obtain the desired event. We will be choosing 3 laser printers and 3 inkjets. So the total number of ways this can happen is the multiplication of the number of ways we can choose 3 printers out of 10 (for the laser printers) times the number of ways of choosing 3 printers out of 15 (for the inkjets). So, in this case, the event can be obtained in \binom{10}{3}\cdot \binom{15}{3} = 54600

So the probability of having 3 laser printers and 3 inkjets is given by

\frac{54600}{177100} = \frac{78}{253} = 0.31

AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

  A.  (3, 10)

Step-by-step explanation:

You are told that ...

  (x, y) = (number of accessories, dollars)

and you are told that ...

  number of accessories = 3

  dollars = 10

so the ordered pair is ...

  (x, y) = (3, 10) . . . . Point A
