Answer: My friend has sold 7 subscriptions more than me after 5 weeks.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that me and my friend are selling magazine subscriptions for a fundraiser. After w weeks, I have sold (3w+4) subscriptions and your friend has sold (5w+1) subscriptions.

We are to find the number of subscriptions that my friend has sold more than me after 5 weeks.

We have

the number of subscriptions sold by me after 5 weeks will be

$S_5=3\times5+4=15+4=19,$

and the number of subscriptions sold by my friend after 5 weeks will be

$S'_5=5\times5+1=25+1=26.$

Therefore,

$S'_5-S_5=26-19=7.$

Thus, my friend has sold 7 subscriptions more than me after 5 weeks.

In triangle RST, U is the midpoint of RS, V is the midpoint of ST, and W is the midpoint of TR. Use the triangle diagram to answ

Zolol [24]

(1)

we are given

U is the midpoint of RS

and we have

$RU=12$

so, we can use formula

$RS=2RU$

we can plug values

$RS=2\times 12$

$RS=24$ ............Answer

(2)

V is the midpoint of ST

so, we get

$SV=VT$

now, we can plug values

$2x=11$

divide both sides by 2

$x=5.5$ .........Answer

(3)

now, we can find y

W is the midpoint of TR

so, we get

$RW=WT$

we can plug value

$15.9=3y$

divide both sides by 3

$y=5.3$

(4)

we can see that

triangles URW and RST are similar

so, their sides ratios must be equal

so, we get

$\frac{RW}{RT} =\frac{UW}{ST}$

we can plug values

$\frac{15.9}{2\times 15.9} =\frac{UW}{2VT}$

$\frac{15.9}{2\times 15.9} =\frac{UW}{2\times 11}$

$UW=22\times \frac{15.9}{2\times 15.9}$

$UW=11$ ...........Answer

(5)

we can see that

triangles SUV and RST are similar

so, their sides ratios must be equal

so, we get

$\frac{SU}{SR} =\frac{UV}{RT}$

now, we can plug values

$\frac{12}{2\times 12} =\frac{UV}{2\times 15.9}$

$UV=2\times 15.9\times \frac{12}{2\times 12}$

$UV=15.9$ .............Answer

Dwayne buys ingredients to make a cake. He buys 112 pounds of flour, 12 ounces of coconut, and 114 pounds of sugar. What is the

Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

The only correct options are A, B and E.

Step-by-step explanation:

He buys $1\frac{1}{2}$ pounds of flour, 12 ounces of coconut, and $1\frac{1}{4}$ pounds of sugar.

We will add these together, but before that, we convert the 12 ounces to pounds, so that all the units are the same:

1 ounce = 0.0625 pounds

12 ounces = 12 * 0.0625 = $\frac{3}{4}$ pounds

He buys $\frac{3}{4}$ pounds of coconut.

Adding all of them together yields:

$1\frac{1}{2}$ + $\frac{3}{4}$ + $1\frac{1}{4}$ = $3\frac{1}{2}$ pounds

Let us also convert to ounces:

$3\frac{1}{2}$ / 0.0625 = 56 ounces

Let us also convert 1/2 pound to ounces:

1/2 / 0.0625 = 8 ounces

Hence, the total weight of ingredients that Dwayne bought is $3\frac{1}{2}$ pounds or 56 ounces or 3 pounds 8 ounces

Hence, options A, B and E are correct.

Rewrite each expression as a product of two or quotient of two powers

Paul [167]

Answer:

The product is $5^{40}*3^{70}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To do this we must understand how the basic operations apply to powers. If the power has the same base and we multiply them, the base remains the same while we sum the powers, if we divide them the base remains the same and we subtract the powers, if we try to make a power of a power the two powers multiply. Applying this rule we have:

$(\frac{5^8*3^7}{5^4})^{10}\\(\frac{5^8}{5^4}*3^7)^{10}\\(5^4*3^7)^{10}\\5^{40}*3^{70}$

Gennadij [26K]

This is the concept of algebra, given that the elevator is 500ft above the ground and it is descending at a steady rate of 5ft/sec. Then height h, at time t of the elevator movement can be modeled by the equation:
h(t)=-5t+500.
The correct answer is h(t)=-5t+500
