Will likes two brands of healthy breakfast cereal. In Superfiber cereal, there are 5 grams of fiber in one cup. In Fiber Oats ce

real, there are 4 grams of fiber in one cup. Let x represent the number of cups of Superfiber Will ate this week and let y represent the number cups of Fiber Oats he ate this week. Which inequality represents the situation if the cereal Will ate this week contained at least 30 grams of fiber? a)5x + 4y ≥ 30 b)4x + 5y ≥ 30 c)4x + 5y ≤ 30

Let x <u>represent</u> the <u>number of cups</u> of Superfiber Will ate this week and let y represent the number cups of Fiber Oats he ate this week.

1. If in Superfiber cereal, there are 5 grams of fiber in one cup, then in x cups there are $5\cdot x=5x$ grams of fiber.

2. If in Fiber Oats cereal, there are 4 grams of fiber in one cup, then in y cups there are $4\cdot y=4y$ grams of fiber.

3. The total amount of fiber Will ate is $5x+4y$ grams.

4. This week Will ate at least 30 grams of fiber. Then

$5x+4y\ge 30.$

Answer: correct choice is A.

Answer: the inequality is: a)5x + 4y ≥ 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to solve this problem we have to analyze the information given:

x : number of cups of Superfiber

1 Superfiber cup has 5 grams of fiber ≤ 30

y: number cups of Fiber Oats

1 Fiber Oats cup has 4 grams of fiber

So, the cereal Will ate this week contained at least 30 grams of fiber. At least means more or equal ( ≤ 30 ).

If each cup of Superfiber cup has 5 grams of fiber ⇒ 5x

If each cup of Fiber Oats cup has 4 grams of fiber ⇒ 5y

Finally, the inequality is:

a)5x + 4y ≥ 30

Juan put three square tiles with sides 8 centimeters, 10 centimeters, and x centimeters together so that they form a right trian

Elan Coil [88]

Since the area of a square is equal to the square of one of its side's length, then the area should be equivalent to $x^{2}$ .
$A = x^{2}$ ---> equation (1)
By using pythagoras rule which states that the $x^{2} = hyp^2 - opposite^2$ ---> equation (2)
where the opposite side's length is 8 and the hypotenuse side's length is 10
by substituting by the values in equation (2) therefore,
$x^{2} = 10^{2} - 8^{2}$ substitute this value in equation (1) then
$A = x^{2} = 10^{2} -8^{2}$
where A is the area of the square whose side is x

There are 20 alligators in the swamp. Each year, the number of alligators increases by 25%. There are 25 crocodiles in the swamp

myrzilka [38]

Part A: f(x)=(5)x+20(alligators) and f(x)=(10)x+25(crocodiles)

Part B: f(x)=(5)(4)+20(alligators) and f(x)=(10)(4)+25(crocodiles)
Alligators: 40 and Crocodiles: 65

Part C: None because the rate of the alligators won't catch up with the rate of crocodiles.

Suppose that water is pouring into a swimming pool in the shape of a right circular cylinder at a constant rate of 8 cubic feet

adell [148]

Answer:

dh/dt = 0,07 ft/min

Step-by-step explanation:

The swimming pool has the shape of right circular cylinder, therefore its volume is

V(c) = π*x²*h

Where x is the radius of the base and h the height

We take differentiation on both sides of the equation to get:

dV/dt = π*x²*dh/dt

The rate of change in height of water in the pool, is independent of the height of the water, since the pool is a right crcular cylinder, and dV/dt is constant at 8 ft³/min.

Then:

8 = π*x²*dh/dt

dh/dt = 8 / π*x²

dh/dt = 8/113,04

dh/dt = 0,07 ft/min

Describe the number 78 in two different ways

andriy [413]

78 could be seventy-eight, 78 over 1, and 78/1.
78/100 and 1/78 these are fractions of the same way to describe a number
