Answer:

Per\ Capita = 64

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Books = 2.7  * 10^3

People = 42

Required

Determine the per capita

The per capita is calculated by dividing number of books by people as follows;

Per\ Capita = \frac{Books}{People}

Substitute 2.7 * 10^3 for books and 42 for people

Per\ Capita = \frac{2.7 * 10^3}{42}

Per\ Capita = 64 (Approximated)

<em>Hence, the per capita is 64</em>

Divide rs 350 in ratio 2:5​
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

100 : 250

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum the parts of the ratio, 2 + 5 = 7 parts

Divide the quantity by 7 to find the value of one part of the ratio.

350 ÷ 7 = 50 ← value of 1 part of the ratio, thus

2 parts = 2 × 50 = 100

5 parts = 5 × 50 = 250

350 = 100 : 250 in the ratio 2 : 5

Solve the simultaneous equation 3x²-xy=0, 2y-5x=1​
ratelena [41]

Answer:

  (x, y) = (0, 1/2) or (1, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The first equation factors as ...

  x(3x -y) = 0

This has solutions x=0 and y=3x.

__

<u>x = 0</u>

Using this in the second equation gives ...

  2y -0 = 1

  y = 1/2

  (x, y) = (0, 1/2) is a solution

__

<u>y = 3x</u>

Using the expression for y in the second equation, we get ...

  2(3x) -5x = 1

  x = 1 . . . . . . . . . simplify

  y = 3x = 3 . . . . using x=1 in the first equation

  (x, y) = (1, 3) is a solution

_____

Interestingly, the (red line) graph of 3x^2 -xy = 0 produced by this graphing calculator has a "hole" at x=0, It says that point is (0, undefined). In a sense, y is undefined, in that it can be <em>anything</em>. A more appropriate graph would graph that equation as the two lines x=0 and y=3x.

sveta [45]

Answer:

  C. (2, 6] hour jobs cost $100

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's consider each of these statements in view of the graph:

  1. A cleaning time of 2 hours will cost $100. -- The closed circle at (2, 50) tells you the cost of a 2-hour job is $50, not $100.
  2. A cleaning time of 6 hours will cost $150. -- The closed circle at (6, 100) tells you the cost of a 6-hour job is $100, not $150.
  3. Cost is a fixed rate of $100 for jobs requiring more than 2 hours, up to a maximum of 6 hours. -- The line between the open circle at (2, 100) and the closed circle at (6, 100) tells you this is TRUE.
  4. Cost is a fixed rate of $200 for jobs that require at least 6 hours. -- "At least 6 hours" means "greater than or equal to 6 hours." The closed circle at (6, 100) means a 6-hour job is $100, not $200.
