Answer:

Weight of silver coin = 29.25 units , weight of gold coin = 35.75 units

Explanation:

Let the weight of 1 gold coin be W_{1}

Weight of 1 silver coin be W_{2}

Total no of gold coins = 9

Total no of silver coins = 11

Total weight of gold coins = 9\times W_{1}

Total weight of silver coins = 11\times W_{2}

It is given that both weigh same thus we have

9W_{1}=11W_{2}............(i)

After replacing coins the weights become as under

Gold Stack\\9W_{1}-W_{1}+W_{2}=8W_{1}+W_{2}\\\\SilverStack\\\\11W_{2}-W_{2}+W_{1}=10W_{2}+W_{1}

Now it is given that gold stack weighs 13 unit less thus adding 13 units to gold stack gives it's weight equal to silver stack

the above relation modifies as

8W_{1}+W_{2}+13=10W_{2}+W_{1}\\7W_{1}+13=9W_{2}..........(ii)

8W_{1}+W_{2}+13=10W_{2}+W_{1}\\7W_{1}+13=9W_{2}..........(ii)\\\\7\frac{11W_{2}}\\\\Solving equation i and ii we get\\\\{9}+13=9W_{2}\\\\77W_{2}+117=81W_{2}\\\\4W_{2}=117\\\\W_{2}=\frac{117}{4}=29.25units\\\\W_{1}=\frac{11W_{2}}{9}=35.75units

What can you infer about the speaker's feelings toward her father? why doesn't she try to intervene in the conflict between her
hodyreva [135]

This poem written by Diane Glancy, reflects her Native American heritage. Her father, a Cherokee man is the main character for the poem. She portrays the conflict between his native american identity and the westernized world in which he lives.  The author implies that despite living disconnected from his traditions and working packing meat, her father remains Cherokee.

The author's feelings towards her father seem to be of love, respect and sadness. I find the poem nostalgic, and there seems to be a sense of being out of place in this world.

The conflict between her parents seems to fit the idea of the poem. Her father brings home hide and horns from work (representing his heritage), and her (western) mother rejects this. The author is just an observer in this poem.

The hide and horns are important, since some native americans relied heavily on the hide, meat and everything else provided by buffalos, which is also a theme in the poem.

Is the following topic suitable for a research paper? Why or why not? how a cheetah eats its food
Marizza181 [45]

This question is incomplete because you are missing part of it; here is the complete question:

Indicate the appropriateness of the subject for a four- to six-page research paper by answering the following question.

Is the following topic suitable for a research paper? Why or why not? how a cheetah eats its food

A. No, it is too broad.

B. No, it is too narrow.

C. Yes, it is broad enough.

D. Yes, it is narrow enough.

The answer to this question is B. No, it is too narrow

Explanation:

In a research paper, especially in one of four to six pages, you are required to provide multiple ideas from different sources to explain the main topic. This implies the topic is appropriate only if it requires the author to give many details or can develop it in 4 to 6 pages. This does not occur if you write about "how a cheetah eats its food" because it is likely cheetahs have only one or few ways to eat their food, and therefore this topic does not require multiple details. According to this, the topic is not suitable because it requires few details or ideas, thus, the reason that makes it inappropriate is that is too narrow.

Read the excerpts from "The Royal House of Thebes" and "The Story of a Warrior Queen."
Svetllana [295]

I believe that the options that best describe the qualities of the tragic heroine in these two passages are:

  • They both show the main character sacrificing her life for her principles.
  • They both show the main character experiencing a downfall and awaiting death.
  • They both show moments in the main characters' experiences that evoke pity.

The tragic heroine trope portrays a female protagonist who ends up suffering terribly due to a fatal flaw in her character.

What type of data does Mayor Kendrick use to make her speech more persuasive?
KATRIN_1 [288]

Excerpt: Good morning teachers, students, and distinguished alumni—thank you all for joining me on this momentous occasion. I’m Mayor Kenndrick, and I’m thrilled to announce the launch of Wessex County’s first community garden here at South Falls High School. This magnificent project is funded by a grant from Green Planet Organics as part of their Gardens Grow Great Communities program. We’re so appreciative of their commitment to this amazing program. You might be wondering why we’re planting a garden at a high school. Unfortunately, recent statistics show that most high school students spend too much time indoors. We’re all guilty of wasting time in front of the computer or television when we could be outside getting fresh air and exercise. Most of you probably think that exercise involves running laps or spending hours inside a gym. In reality, exercising can be something as simple as planting seeds or pulling out weeds. Anything that gets your blood flowing is good for you and your body. Gardening has many therapeutic benefits. This program affords students the opportunity to commune with nature as part of a new curriculum that combines environmental science and physical education. Spending time in a garden also forges a connection between you and your natural habitat, enhancing your appreciation for the environment. This community garden will also facilitate social interaction between students and community members as they work toward a common goal.

Answer:The Mayor lists several of the positive benefits that result from working in a community garden

Explanation: This is an excerpt from ''The Value of Community Garden'' where we can see the speech of Mayor Kendrick. In this excerpt, she is announcing important message about community garden fulfilment located in a High School.

She is talking about important things that a community garden can have and positive benefits that can bring people and students allowance of exercises while gardening, therapeutic benefits and more.

  • She is trying to convince the people that community garden could help everyone by talking about those positive benefits.
