Leftover per friend times number of friends=total left over
2/5 times number of friends=2
times both sides by 5/2
number of friends=10/2
number of friends=5

5 friends

Answer:

Hence, the numbers of friends who went to the game is:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that:

Several friends each had 2/5 of a bag of peanuts left over from the baseball game.

Let N be the total number of friends who went to the game.

So, the number of bags of peanuts they have is equal to:

(2/5)×N.

The smallest positive integer N for which (2/5)×N is also an integer is N=5.

That means they had 2 bags.

Hence, the number of friends who went to the game is : 5.

Find the derivative of the vector function r(t)=ta×(b+tc), where a=⟨2,−3,4⟩, b=⟨−4,5,−1⟩, and c=⟨−2,−1,5⟩.
NikAS [45]

Answer:

derivative of the vector function given = ( -16-22t, 14-36t, -2-16t )

Step-by-step explanation:

given data:

vector function : r(t) = ta*(b+tc)

a = ( 2,-3.4) .   b = (-4,5,-1).  c = ( -2,-1,5)

to find the derivative of the vector function we will differentiate with respect to x attached below is the detailed solution

Rita makes and sells necklaces. The materials to make each necklace cost $2.75. Last week she made 8 necklaces and wants to make
Tresset [83]

Answer:

The error she made was that she was adding x and 2.75. She should subtract 2.75 from x.

Another mistake that she made was that she sold each for $7 assuming that she would make a profit of 78, but she should see each necklace for $12.5 so that she could make a profit of $78.

Step-by-step explanation:

The error she made was that she was adding x and 2.75.

She should write the equation as 8 (x - 2.75) = 78; as she spends $2.75 to make a necklace.

By using the correct equation: 8 (x - 2.75) = 78

=> 8x - 22 = 78

=> 8x = 78 + 22

=> 8x = 100

=> x = 100/8

=> x = 12.5

Another mistake that she made was that she sold each for $7 assuming that she would make a profit of 78, but she should see each necklace for $12.5 so that she could make a profit of $78.

Hope this helps you.

Identify which of the statements is true. −36.5 > −36.07 −2.6 > 2.521 −8.0329 > −8.045 −0.4 > −0.004
max2010maxim [7]
For the numbers with negative sign, the larger the numerical value following the negative sign, the lower is the value of the number. The symbol, ">" means "greater than". 

From the inequalities given above, the one that makes exact sense is,
     -8.0329 > -8.045

Hence, the answer to this item is the third choice.

How many more barrels of gasoline then diesel were produced last year gasoline 34% diesel 29% total crude oil -60 million barrel
MArishka [77]

Answer: 3 million barrels


Step-by-step explanation:

Given :- Total crude oil= 60 million barrels

Quantity of gasoline = 34% of total crude oil

=0.34\times60\text{ million barrels}\\=20.4\text{ million barrels}

Quantity of diesel = 29% of total crude oil

=0.29\times60\text{ million barrels}\\=17.4\text{ million barrels}

Clearly, Quantity of gasoline is more than Quantity of diesel

difference = Quantity of gasoline-Quantity of diesel

20.4\text{ million barrels}-17.4\text{ million barrels}\\=3\text{ million barrels}

Therefore, The production of gasoline is 3 million barrels more than diesel last year.
