Answer:

x = 1, y = 60

Step-by-step explanation:

Value of new-releases (x) = $20 each

Value of classic (y) = $8 each

Total budget = $500

Equation : 20x + 8y = 500

The librarian wants to purchase maximum DVDs. She can get more DVDs of classic movies for $8 as they are less costly.

Lets assume the librarian buys at least one new-release DVD.

x=1

20x + 8y = 500

8y + 20(1) = 500

y = 60

<em>Therefore, in a budget of $500, the librarian can purchase 60 classic movies and 1 new-release.</em>

Yes

I’m assuming 16 is the amount he earned and (-16) is the amount he spent

16 + (-16) = 16-16 = 0

Juan spent the same amount of money as he earned that day and broke even

Describe a real life multiplication situation for which an estimate makes sense
Drupady [299]
If you are trying to create a garden of potted plants, you would find out how much soil each pot needs/holds and multiply that by how many pots you plan to use. then you would go to the store for potting soil, which let’s say came in smaller packs and you need to purchase multiple. use multiplication estimation to estimate how many bags you’d need.
I know this is a dumb example...sorry this is one I remember from my fourth grade math teacher ahah

Use the table and the data provided to analyze the following data. During gym class, the pulse rate was recorded for 19 students
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

Part A

Please see attached the required stem and leaf plot

For the stem and leaf plot, the nonsplit system is used because of clarity for analysis

Part B:

From the shape of the stem and leaf plot we have that there is an average increase of pulse rate of 20 pulses in all the 19 students after the exercise

The shape of the plot is relatively the same for the before and after exercise save for the decrease in the third to the last row by one and the increase in the second to the last roe by one student

The spread remained relatively constant in both cases with the most being in the 60s range having 7 students in the before exercise and the 80s range having 8 students in the after exercise leaf plot.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given data are;

67{}                                    87

67{}                                    88

67 {}                                   89

68 {}                                   89

71 {}                                    91

72                                   93

72                                   93

75                                   95

77                                   96

77                                   97

79                                   98

81                                    98

85                                   101

87                                   105

87                                   105

91                                    119

97                                   125

103                                  125

121                                  147
