Answer:

2.45c + 1.65c = 4.12 + 0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

To write an equation to find the value for c, we need to declare what c is first.

c = price of fruit

2.45c + 1.65c = 4.12 + 0.75

Now we multiplied c to 2.45 and 1.65 and added them together, because whatever the value of c is will give us the equivalence of the sum of 4.12 + 0.75.

Now to check if the equation is right, let's solve for c.

2.45c + 1.65c = 4.12 + 0.75

4.1c = 4.87

Now to get the value of c, we divide both sides of the equation by 4.1.

\dfrac{4.1c}{4.1}=\dfrac{4.87}{4.1}

c = 1.19

Now let's substitute the value of c in the equation to see if we got it right.

2.45(1.19) + 1.65(1.19) = 4.12 + 0.75

2.92 + 1.96 = 4.87

4.87 = 4.87

Therefore concluding that the value of c is 1.19.

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

The goat population reaches 1000 in 12.4 years

Step-by-step explanation:

After <em>t </em>years, the number of goats is given by

N = N_0e^{bt}

where N_0 is the initial number of goats and <em>b</em> is the per capita growth rate.

From the question,

  • N_0 = 2
  • <em>b</em> = 0.5
  • <em>N</em> = 1000

1000 = 2e^{0.5t}

e^{0.5t} = 500

0.5t = \ln 500 = 6.214

t = \dfrac{6.2}{0.5} = 12.4

What is the recursive formula for this geometric sequence?<br> -2, -16, -128, -1024,
FinnZ [79.3K]
<h3>Answer: Choice A</h3>

The first line shown in choice A is a_1 = -2 which means "the first term is -2"

The next line in choice A means "the nth term (a_n) is found by multiplying the prior term (a_{n-1}) by 8". Put another way: multiply each term by 8 to get the next term.

first term = -2

second term = 8*(first term) = 8*(-2) = -16

third term = 8*(second term) = 8*(-16) = -128

fourth term = 8*(third term) = 8*(-128) = -1024

and so on.

A sculpture of a clothespin is 20 feet high. A normal clothespin of this shape is five inches high. Using this scale, how many f
kodGreya [7K]
This is the concept of scale factor. The linear scale factor is given by:
(height of sculpture)/(height of clothespin)
=20/(5/12)
=48
Given that a woman is 5ft 7 in, the sculpture of this woman would be:
height of sculpture=(scale factor)*(height of the woman)
height of the woman=5 ft 7 inches=5 7/12 ft=67/12 ft
hence the height of the sculpture will be:
67/12×48
=268 ft

Answer: 268 ft
