Chevy has some yarn that he wants to use to make hats and scarves. Each hat uses 0.2 kilograms of yarn a
professor190 [17]

Answer:

h + s = 15

2h + s = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of hats Chevy made = h

Let the number of scarves made by Chevy = s

From the statement of the question, " Chevy made a total number of 15 items"

Equation will be  h + s = 15

Amount of yarn used to make one hat = 0.2 kilograms

So amount of yarn used to make "h"hats = 0.2h kilograms

Similarly Amount of yarn used to make one scarf = 0.1 kilograms

So amount of yarn used to make "h" scarves = 0.1s kilograms

Another statement states " Chevy wants to use 2 kilograms of yarn to make these items".

Equation for this statement will be,

0.2h + 0.1s = 2

OR 2h + s = 20 [By multiplying the equation by 10]

Therefore, system of the equations will be

h + s = 15

2h + s = 20

Stu hiked a trail at an average rate of 3 miles per hour. He ran back on the same trail at an average rate of 5 miles per hour.
fredd [130]
Let d =  the length of the trail, miles

Note that
distance = speed * time
or
time = distance / speed.

The time, t₁, to travel the trail at 3 miles per hour is
t₁ = d/3 hours
The time, t₂, to travel back at 5 miles per hour is
t₂ = d/5 hours

Because the total time is 3 hours, therefore
t₁ + t₂ = 3
d/3 + d/5 = 3
d(1/3 + 1/5) = 3
d(8/15) = 3
Multiply each side by 15.
8d = 3*15 =45
d = 45/8 = 5 5/8 miles or 5.625 miles
Total distance = 2*d = 11.25 miles or 11 1/4 miles.

t₁ = 5.625/3 = 1.875 hours or 1 hour, 52.5 minutes
t₂ = 5.625/5 = 1.125 hours or 1 hour , 7.5 minutes

Answers ;
Time to travel at 3 miles per hour = 1.875 hours (1 hour, 52.5 minutes)
Time to return at 5 miles per hour = 1.125 hours (1 hour, 7.5 minutes)
Total distance traveled = 2*d = 11.25 miles.

Kate packs snow into 5 identical jars. Each jar represents a different depth of snow. Kate then lets the snow in each jar comple
Xelga [282]

Answer:

A, C, E

Step-by-step explanation:

From the table you can see that the water depth cahnges

0.8-0.4=1.2-0.8=1.6-1.2=2.0-1.6=0.4\ in

for every

4-2=6-4=8-6=10-8=2\ in of snow (option B is false).

This means that the function modelling this situation is linear function (option A is true and option D is false). Let the equation of this function be y=ax+b. Then

0.4=2a+b,\\ \\0.8=4a+b.

Subtract these two equations:

2a=0.8-0.4,\\ \\2a=0.4,\\ \\a=0.2.

Hence,

b=0.4-2\cdot 0.2=0.

The equation of the straight line (the graph of linear function) is y=0.2x. (option E is true) This line passes through the point (0,0), because its coordinates satisfy the equation (option C is true).

The solution is <span>B. π/12+nπ

</span>proof 
sinx cosx = 1/4 is equivalent to  2 <span>sinx cosx = 1/2 or sin2x =1/2
