Answer:
There were 3 adults
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Derive the first expression
a+c=10...equation 1
where;
a=number of adults
c=number of children
And total number of people=10
Step 2: Derive the second expression;
Total cost of tickets=(price per child ticket×number of children)+(price per adult ticket×number of adults)
where;
Total cost of tickets=$186.50
price per child ticket=$15.95
price per adult ticket=$24.95
number of children=c
number of adults=a
replacing;
(15.95×c)+(24.95×a)=186.5
24.95 a+15.95 c=186.5....equation 2
Step 3: Combine equation 1 and 2 and solve simultaneously
24.95 a+15.95 c=186.5
-
24.95(a+c=10)
(24.95 a-24.95 a)+(15.95 c-24.95 c)=186.5-(24.95×10)
-9 c=-63
c=-63/-9
c=7
replace the value for c in equation 1
a+c=10
a+7=10
a=10-7
a=3

When you say that two numbers are relatively
prime, it means that both numbers do not have a common factor except 1. Stephen
is incorrect because 38 and 40 are both multiples of 2.

Answer:
3 1/2 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a problem in units conversion. We want to get from bags to hours by way of minutes per bag. One bag takes an effort of 2/3 person·minute, so we need to divide the total effort by the number of persons and convert minutes to hours.
(1575 bags)×(2/3 person·min/bag)/(5 person)/(60 min/h)
= (1575)(2/3)(1/5)(1/60) h = 3.5
It will take the 5 of them about 3 1/2 hours to prepare 1575 bags.
Answer:
<h2>14mph</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the gas mileage for a certain vehicle modeled by the equation m=−0.05x²+3.5x−49 where x is the speed of the vehicle in mph. In order to determine the speed(s) at which the car gets 9 mpg, we will substitute the value of m = 9 into the modeled equation and calculate x as shown;
m = −0.05x²+3.5x−49
when m= 9
9 = −0.05x²+3.5x−49
−0.05x²+3.5x−49 = 9
0.05x²-3.5x+49 = -9
Multiplying through by 100
5x²+350x−4900 = 900
Dividing through by 5;
x²+70x−980 = 180
x²+70x−980 - 180 = 0
x²+70x−1160 = 0
Using the general formula to get x;
a = 1, b = 70, c = -1160
x = -70±√70²-4(1)(-1160)/2
x = -70±√4900+4640)/2
x = -70±(√4900+4640)/2
x = -70±√9540/2
x = -70±97.7/2
x = -70+97.7/2
x = 27.7/2
x = 13.85mph
x ≈ 14 mph
Hence, the speed(s) at which the car gets 9 mpg to the nearest mph is 14mph
Answer:
The width of the prism is 2 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The given parameters are;
The volume of the prism = 170 cm³
The length of the prism = 5 cm
The height of the prism = 17 cm
The volume of the prism is given by the relationship v = Length, l × Height, h × Width, w
Therefore;
The volume of the prism = 5 cm × 17 cm × w = 170 cm³
Which gives;
w = 170 cm³/(5 cm × 17 cm) = 170 cm³/(85 cm) = 2 cm
∴ The width of the prism = 2 cm.
