Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$0.30

Step-by-step explanation:

1 bar of candy = $0.20

3 bars of candy = $0.50

To solve, multiply for both:

If you pay for each candy bar individually, they each cost $0.20. Multiply 9 with 0.20:

9 x 0.20 = $1.80

If you pay for the candy bars by 3's, they cost $0.50 each pack. Divide 9 with 3, then multiply by 0.50:

9/3 = 3

3 x 0.50 = $1.50

Subtract the total cost of the individual from the pack:

$1.80 - $1.50 = $0.30

. $0.30 is your answer.

central park in new york city is rectangular in shape and measures approximately 1.37 •10 4 feet by 2.64 •10 2 feet if one acre

lara [203]

<span>83.03 acres. To solve this, first calculate how many square feet that central park covers. Just multiply its length and width. So 1.37x10^4 * 2.64x10^2 = 3.6168x10^6 Now divide its area in square feet by the number of square feet in an acre. 3.6168x10^6 / 4.356x10^4 = 8.303x10^1 = 83.03</span>

What is the equation of a line that is parallel to the line 2x + 5y = 10 and passes through the point (–5, 1)? Check all that ap

Bond [772]

So the right options are:

$y=-\frac{2}{5}x-1$

$2x+5y = -5$

$y-1=-\frac{2}{5}(x+5)$

Further explanation:

Given equation of line is:

2x+5y=10

We have to convert it into point-slope form

$2x+5y=10\\5y=-2x+10\\Dividing\ both\ sides\ by\ 5\\y=-\frac{2}{5}x+\frac{10}{5}\\y=-\frac{2}{5}x+2$

The co-efficient of x is the slope of the line

So,

$m= -\frac{2}{5}$

As the required line is parallel to given line, it will also have same slope.

Let m1 be the slope of required line

Then the line will be:

$y=m_1x+b$

Putting the value of slope

$y=\frac{2}{5}x+b$

Putting (-5,1) in the equation to find the value of b

$1=-\frac{2}{5}(-5)+b\\1=2+b\\b=1-2\\b=-1$

Putting the values of slope and b in equation

$y=-\frac{2}{5}x-1$

Multiplying the whole equation by 5 will give us:

5y = -2x-5

2x+5y = -5

Another form of equation of line is Point-slope form

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

Putting the values of slope and point in the equation, we get

$y-1=-\frac{2}{5}(x+5)$

So the right options are:

$y=-\frac{2}{5}x-1$

$2x+5y = -5$

$y-1=-\frac{2}{5}(x+5)$

sdas [7]

Answer:

$10 + (\frac{2}{3}) a = 50$ is the CORRECT equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given question is INCOMPLETE.

Javier asks his mother how old a tree in their yard is. His mother says, “The sum of 10 and two-thirds of that tree’s age, in years, is equal to 50.” Javier writes the equation { 10 + 2/3} where a is the tree’s age in years. His equation is not correct. What error did he make?

Now here:

a: The tree’s age in years.

Also, “The sum of 10 and two-thirds of that tree’s age, in years, is equal to 50.”

⇒ 10 + two-thirds of that tree’s age = 50

$\implies 10 + (\frac{2}{3}) a = 50$

But in the equation written by Javier, the the third fraction is NOT MULTIPLIED by the age of the tree a in Years.

So, the written equation by Javier is Incorrect.

Now, solving the written correct equation for the value of a, we get:

$\implies 10 + (\frac{2}{3}) a = 50\\\implies (\frac{2}{3}) a = 40\\\implies a = 40 \times (\frac{3}{2}) = 60\\\implies a = 60$

Hence the correct age of the tree = 60 years

A square has a side length of 1.2 feet. If the square is dilated by a factor of 2.5, what is the length of a side of the new squ

Alika [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

It starts out at 1.2 feet. In math, dilation means make larger or smaller, so I have to give you both answers. Check with your instructor to see what the question intends.

Larger

1.2 * 2.5 = 3

Smaller

1.2 / 2.5 = 0.48
