Alonso brings \$21$21dollar sign, 21 to the market to buy eggs and avocados. He gets eggs that cost \$2.50$2.50dollar sign, 2, p

oint, 50. Then, he notices that the store only sells avocados in bags of 333 for \$5$5dollar sign, 5. He wants to buy as many avocados as he can with his remaining money. Let BBB represent the number of bags of avocados that Alonso buys. 1) Which inequality describes this scenario?

Answer:

B ≤ 11 bags

Step-by-step explanation:

Alonso initially has $21. After buying eggs that cost $2.5, the money remaining = $21 - $2.5 = $18.5

Hence, the money remaining to buy Avocado = $18.5.

Each 3 bag of Avocado cost $5, hence 1 bag of avocado would cost $(5/3)

Therefore if B represent the number of bags of avocados bought by Alonso, it can be represented as:

B ≤ $18.5 ÷ $(5/3)

B ≤ 11.1

B ≤ 11

B ≤ 11 bags

Amir drove from Jerusalem down to the lowest place on Earth, the Dead Sea, descending at a rate of 12 meters per minute. He was

SSSSS [86.1K]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

First of all let's write the slope-intercept form of the equation of a line, which is:

$y=mx+b \\ \\ Where: \\ \\ m: \ slope \\ \\ b: \ y-intercept$

So we just need to find $m \ and \ b$ to solve this problem.

Moreover, this problem tells us that Amir drove from Jerusalem down to the lowest place on Earth, the Dead Sea, descending at a rate of 12 meters per minute. So this rate is the slope of the line, that is:

$m=-12$

Negative slope because Amir is descending. So:

$y=-12x+b$

To find $b$ , we need to use the information that tells us that he was at sea level after 30 minutes of driving, so this can be written as the point $(30,0)$ . Therefore, substituting this point into our equation:

$y=-12x+b \\ \\ 0=-12(30)+b \\ \\ 0=-360+b \\ \\ \therefore b=360$

Finally, the equation of Amir's altitude relative to sea level (in meters) and time (in minutes) is:

$\boxed{y=-12x+360}$

Whose graph is shown bellow.

Carlos is giving his friend in another state a new umbrella as a gift. He wants to ship the umbrella in a box he already has. Wh

notka56 [123]

Answer:

<h2>He could use the medium box.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that the umbrella is 37.5 inches long.

If you observe, each box doesn't have 37 inches wide, however, they are tridimensional figures, which means they have a certaing height.

So, the smalle box is too small to fit the umbrella.

But, the medium box is perfect, because it has 27 inches wide and 27 inches height, which is enough to fit the umbrella. These are the best dimensions to send the umbrella.

Therefore, the medium box is the answer, the one that has dimensions 27x14x27.

For the sequence an = 2n + 1, identify the values of a0 = _____, a1 = _____, a2 = _____, and a3 = _____.

Tresset [83]

Answer:

Option A - $a_0= 2,a_1= 3,a_2= 5,a_3= 9$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : For the sequence $a_n= 2^n + 1$

To find : Identify the values of following?

Solution :

The nth term of the sequence is $a_n= 2^n + 1$

Substitute n=0,1,2 and 3

When n=0,

$a_0= 2^0+ 1$

$a_0= 1+1$

$a_0=2$

When n=1,

$a_1= 2^1+ 1$

$a_1= 2+1$

$a_1=3$

When n=2,

$a_2= 2^2+ 1$

$a_2=4+1$

$a_2=5$

When n=3,

$a_3= 2^3+ 1$

$a_3= 8+ 1$

$a_3= 9$

Therefore, The value is $a_0= 2,a_1= 3,a_2= 5,a_3= 9$

So, Option A is correct.
