The answer is 13. To figure this out I used 10 notebooks sold as a guide. I knew the answer could not be 10, because $27.95/10 was not a number stopping in the hundredths place (or a true money amount).

I tried numbers greater than 10 using a trial and error strategy until I got to 13 notebooks sold and found that it $27.95 was divisible by 13 to get an answer between $2 and $3 ($2.15 exactly).

The ratio of the number of beads Karen had to the number of beads Patricia had was 2:5 .After Patricia bought another 75 beads,t
blondinia [14]
K:P=2:5
P+75 it is 4:15
at first, P=5 units
so we have
2:5 and 4:15
since the K units didn't change we conver them to the same
2:5 times 2:2=4:10
so from 4:10 to 4:15 is a change of 75 in the right side
therefor 75=5 units so 75/5=15/1= 1 unit
so at first K=4 units=4 times 1 unit=4 times 15=60
P=10 units so 10 times 15=150

at first
Karen=60
Patricia=150

A rectangle that had the perimeter of 70 and the area of 250 has enlarged; its sides became twice as long. what is the new area
aliya0001 [1]
The perimeter of the original rectangle is:
 P = 2w + 2l = 70
 The area of the original rectangle is:
 A = w * l = 250
 Then, by modifying the length of its sides we have:
 Perimeter:
 P '= 2 (2w) +2 (2l)
 Rewriting:
 P '= 2 (2w + 2l)
 P '= 2P
 P '= 2 (70)
 P '= 140
 Area:
 A '= (2w) * (2l)
 Rewriting:
 A '= (2) * (2) (w) * (l)
 A '= 4 * w * l
 A '= 4 * A
 A '= 4 * 250
 A '= 1000
 Answer:
 
the new area and the new perimeter are:
 
P '= 140
 
A '= 1000

A square with an area A2 of is enlarged to a square with an area of 25A2. How was the side of the smaller square changed?
makvit [3.9K]
Given:
a square with an area of a² is enlarged to a square with an area of 25a².

The side length of the smaller square was changed when The side length was multiplied by 5.

Area = (1a)² = a²
Area = 1a * 5 = 5a ⇒ (5a)² = 25a²

Horn lengths of Texas longhorn cattle are normally distributed. The mean horn spread is 60 inches with a standard deviation of 4
german

Answer:

range is  between 55.5 to 64.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Horn lengths of Texas longhorn cattle are normally distributed. The mean horn spread is 60 inches with a standard deviation of 4.5 inches

68% is 1 standard deviation from mean

To get the range of 1 standard deviation we add and subtract standard deviation from mean

mean = 60

standard deviation = 4.5

60 - 4.5= 55.5

60+4.5 = 64.5

1 standard deviation is between 55.5 to 64.5

That is 68% range is  between 55.5 to 64.5

An Adult ticket at an amusement park costs $24.95 and a child's ticket costs $15.95. A group of 10 people paid $186.50 to enter
leva [86]

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
