Zöe schedules advertising for a radio station. She must fill 12 minutes each hour with 30 second ads and 60 second ads. Zöe sold

twice as many 60 second ads as she did 30 second ads. She defines x as the number of 30 second ads and y as the number of 60 second ads that she sold. Zöe writes the system    and . Which statement identifies Zöe’s error and the correction that is needed?  Zöe used seconds to measure time for each ad, but she used minutes for the total. She should have used . Zöe set up an equation that would translate to “twice the number of 30 second ads = the number of 60 second ads.”  She should have used . Zöe compared the number of 30 second ads to the number of 60 second ads without  including the total number of ads. She should have used . Zöe did not include the whole hour in the total time. She should have used .

I cannot see Zoe's work to explain the error, but the correct method of solving is listed:

x is the number of 30-second ads
y is the number of 60-second ads

x+y=12(60)=720 would be the first equation; this is because while the ads together make 12 minutes, the ad times are in seconds.  This means we must multiply 12 by 60.

y=2x is the second equation

Our system is then
x+y=720
y=2x

We will use substitution to solve this.  Plug 2x in place of y in the first equation:
x+2x = 720

Combine like terms:
3x = 720

Divide both sides by 3:
3x/3 = 720/3
x = 240

Substitute this value in for x in the second equation:
y=2(240)
y=480

Shalnov [3]
Since we are finding the unit rate of the cost per comic, we will need to divide $5 by 20 comics which you will get 0.25 cents and divide $7.50 by 30 comics which you will also get 0.25 cents.Therefore, the unit rate and constant of proportionality is 0.25 cents.

The Community Relief Fund receives a large donation of $2800. The foundation agrees to spend the money on $20 school bags, $25 s
asambeis [7]

The question is incomplete:

The Community Relief Fund receives a large donation of $2800. The foundation agrees to spend the money on $20 school bags, $25 sweaters, $5 books. They want to buy 200 items and send them to schools in earthquake-hit areas. They must order as many books as school bags and sweaters combined. How many of each item should they order?

Answer:

They must order 40 bags, 60 sweaters and 100 books.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information provided, you can write the following equations:

x+y+z=200 (1)

20x+25y+5z=2800 (2)

z=x+y (3), where:

x=amount of bags

y=amount of sweaters

z=amount of books

Now, you can replace (3) in (1) and (2):

x+y+x+y=200

2x+2y=200 (4)

20x+25y+5(x+y)=2800

20x+25y+5x+5y=2800

25x+30y=2800 (5)

Then, you will have 2 equations:

2x+2y=200 (4)

25x+30y=2800 (5)

You can isolate x in (4):

2x=200-2y

x=100-y (6)

After this, you can replace (6) in (5):

25(100-y)+30y=2800

2500-25y+30y=2800

5y=2800-2500

y=300/5

y=60

Next, you can replace the value of y in (6) to find the value of x:

x=100-60

x=40

Finally, you can replace the value of x and y in (3) to find the value of z:

z=40+60

z=100

According to this, the answer is that they must order 40 bags, 60 sweaters and 100 books.

For positive acute angles
insens350 [35]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  77/85

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given</u>:

  cos(A) = 4/5

  sin(B) = 15/17

<u>Find</u>:

  cos(A-B)

<u>Solution</u>:

From your knowledge of Pythagorean triples, you know that one of them is (3, 4, 5) and another is (8, 15, 17). Using your imagination, or by drawing the triangles, you can determine the needed trig functions to be ...

  sin(A) = 3/5

  cos(B) = 8/17

__

Alternatively, you can use the Pythagorean identity to find ...

  sin(A) = √(1 -cos²(A)) = √(1 -(4/5)²) = √(9/25) = 3/5

  cos(B) = √(1 -sin²(B)) = √(1 -(15/17)²) = √(64/289) = 8/17

__

Then application of the angle difference formula is straightforward.

  cos(A -B) = cos(A)cos(B) +sin(A)sin(B)

  cos(A -B) = (4/5)(8/17) +(3/5)(15/17) = (32 +45)/85

  cos(A -B) = 77/85

_____

Some graphing calculators can express the result ...

  cos(arccos(4/5) -arcsin(15/17)) ≈ 0.90588235294

  ... as the fraction 77/85

Work out the length of AB.<br> Give your answer to 3 significant figures.<br> A=(-1,6) B=(5,3)
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

D = 6.71

Step-by-step explanation:

For Finding Length, we'll use the distance Formula:

=> Distance Formula = \sqrt{(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2}

=> D = \sqrt{(5+1)^2+(3-6)^2}

D = \sqrt{6^2+(-3)^2}

D = \sqrt{36+9}

D = \sqrt{45}

D = 6.71

The length of AB is 6.71
