Answer:

Smallest number = 172

Step-by-step explanation:

Two consecutive even integers have a sum of 346.

Let x be the smallest number.

We have other number = x + 2

We also have

x + x + 2 = 346

2x + 2 = 346

2 x = 344

x = 172

Smallest number = 172, Other number = 172 + 2 = 174

Smallest number = 172

Assume two numbers are n and n+2

Then n+ n+2 = 346 -> 2n = 344 -> n= 172

So the smaller one is 172, another one is 174

If x varies jointly as y and z, and x = 8 when y = 4 and z = 9, find z when x = 16 and y = 6. 3

Ghella [55]

Answer:

Joint variation says that:

if $x \propto y$ and $x \propto z$

then the equation is in the form of:

$x = kyz$ , where, k is the constant of variation.

As per the statement:

If x varies jointly as y and z

then by definition we have;

$x=k(yz)$ ......[1]

Solve for k;

when x = 8 , y=4 and z=9

then

Substitute these in [1] we have;

$8=k(4 \cdot 9)$

⇒ $8 = 36k$

Divide both sides by 36 we have;

$\frac{8}{3}=k$

Simplify:

$k = \frac{2}{9}$

⇒ $x = \frac{2}{9}yz$

to find z when x = 16 and y = 6

Substitute these value we have;

$16 = \frac{2}{9} \cdot 6 \cdot z$

⇒ $16 = \frac{12}{9}z$

Multiply both sides by 9 we have;

$144 = 12z$

Divide both sides by 12 we have;

12 = z

z = 12

Therefore, the value of z is, 12

Riley and Jace work at a dry cleaners ironing shirts. Riley can iron 25 shirts per hour, and Jace can iron 30 shirts per hour. R

oee [108]

Answer:

25r +30j = 460
r - j = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let r and j represent Riley's hours and Jace's hours, respectively. The equations could be ...

25r +30j = 460

r - j = 3

The solution is (r, j) = (10, 7).

Nik needs to estimate how many books will fit in a bin. Each book is 1 ft tall, 0.5 ft wide, and 0.1 ft thick. The bin is 5 feet

yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

600 books

Step-by-step explanation:

The bin's dimensions are

5 by 2 by 3

THe volume of the bin is the multiplication of the 3 dimensions given.

Volume of Bin = 5 * 2 * 3 = 30 cubic feet

Now, volume of each book would be gotten the same way. The dimensions of one book is:

1 by 0.5 by 0.1

Volume of 1 book = 1 * 0.5 * 0.1 = 0.05 cubic feet

The number of books that will fit in the bin would be:

30/0.05 = 600 books
