To make lemonade, you used one quart of water, one pint of lemon juice, and 9 ounces of your secret ingredient: honey. How much

WITCHER [35]

To solve this problem you must follow the proccedure shown below:

1. Amount of lemonade in pints:

1 quart of water=2 pints
1 pint of lemon
(9 ounces of honey)(0.0625 pints/1 ounce)=0.56 pints

Total in pints=2 pints+1 pint+0.56 pints
Total in pints=3.56 pints

2. Amount of lemonade in cups:

Total in cups=(3.56 pints)(2 cups/1 pint)
Total in cups=7.12 cups

3. Amount of lemonade in ounces:

Total in ounces=(7.12 cups)(8 ounces/1 cup)
Total in ounces=56.96 ounces

A street lamp casts a shadow 31.5 feet long, while an 8 foot-tall street sign casts a shadow of 14 feet long. What is the length

sergeinik [125]

Answer:

The answer to your question is the height of the lamp is 18.2 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Street lamp shadow = 31.5 ft

Street sign height = 8 ft

Street sign shadow = 14 ft

Street lamp height = x

Process

1.- To find the height of the lamp use proportions. In this kind of problem, we do not look for the length, but the shadow.

Street lamp height/street lamp shadow = street sign height/street sign

shadow

Substitution

x / 31.5 = 8 / 14

Solve for x

x = (31.5)(8) / 14

Simplification

x = 254.4 / 14

Result

x = 18.2 ft

A customer at a store paid $64 for 3 large candles and 4 small candles. At the same store, a second customer paid $4 more than t

belka [17]

system of equations can be used to find the price in dollars of each large candle, x, and each small candle, y is $x+8y=68$ and $3x+4y=64$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have , A customer at a store paid $64 for 3 large candles and 4 small candles. At the same store, a second customer paid $4 more than the first customer for 1 large candle and 8 small candles. The price of each large candle is the same, and the price of each small candle is the same. We need to find Which system of equations can be used to find the price in dollars of each large candle, x, and each small candle, y . Let's find out:

Let the price in dollars of each large candle, x, and each small candle, y .So

A customer at a store paid $64 for 3 large candles and 4 small candles

Equation is :

⇒ $3x+4y=64$ .....(1)

At the same store, a second customer paid $4 more than the first customer for 1 large candle and 8 small candles.

Equation is :

⇒ $x+8y=68$ .......(2)

3(2)-(1) i.e.

⇒ $3(x+8y)-(3x+4y)=68(3)-64$

⇒ $20y=140$

⇒ $y=7$

So , $x+8y=68$

⇒ $x+8(7)=68$

⇒ $x=12$

Therefore , system of equations can be used to find the price in dollars of each large candle, x, and each small candle, y is $x+8y=68$ and $3x+4y=64$ .

A carpool service has 2,000 daily riders. A one-way ticket costs $5.00. The service estimates that for each $1.00 increase to th

solmaris [256]

Answer:

Total number of riders that ride on carpool daily = 2000

Total Cost of one way ticket = $ 5.00

Total Amount earned if 2000 passengers rides daily on carpool = 2000 × 5

= $10,000

If fare increases by $ 1.00

New fare = $5 + $1

= $6

Number of passengers riding on carpool = 2,000 - 100 = 1,900

If 1,900 passengers rides on carpool daily , total amount earned ,if cost of each ticket is $ 6 = 1900 × $6 = $11400

As we have to find the inequality which represents the values of x that would allow the carpool service to have revenue of at least $12,000.

For $ 1 increase in fare = (2,000 - 1 × 100) passengers

For $ x increase in fare, number of passengers = 2,000 - 100·x

= (2,000 - 100·x) passengers

New fare = 5 + x

New Fare × Final Number of passengers ≥ 12,000

(5+x)·(2,000 - 100 x) ≥ 12,000

5 (2,000 - 100 x) + x(2,000 - 100 x) ≥ 12,000

10,000 - 500 x + 2,000 x - 100 x² ≥ 12,000

100 - 5 x + 20 x - x² ≥ 120

- x² + 15 x +100 - 120 ≥ 0

-x² + 15 x -20 ≥ 0

x² - 15 x + 20 ≤ 0

⇒ x = 1.495

x ≥ $ 1.495, that is if we increase the fare by this amount or more than this the revenue will be at least 12,000 or more .

Also, f'(x) = 0 gives x = 7.5

⇒ The price of a one-way ticket that will maximize revenue is $7.50

A six foot man is standing 10 feet away from a 20 foot lamppost. what is the length of his shadow?

elena55 [62]

There are two congruent triangles that are being formed from the lamppost, the light, the ground and the man. Always try to draw a picture for these types of problems. It helps a lot when solving. Your answer should be about 4.3ft
