During one month, a rental agency rented a total of 155 cars, trucks, and vans. Nine times as many cars were rented as vans, and

three times as many vans were rented as trucks. Let x represent cars, let y represent vans and let z represent trucks. Write a system of three equations that represent the number of each vehicle rented

Answer:

The system of three equations is equal to

x+y+z=155

y=9x

z=3y

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of cars rented during one month

y ----> the number of vans rented during one month

z ----> the number of trucks rented during one month

we know that

x+y+z=155 ----> equation A

y=9x ---> equation B

z=3y ----> equation C

muminat

When looking at probabilities, two ideas are always true.

1) Any probability is more than 0.

2) The sum of all the probabilites is 1.

Idea #2 works here. (For example, think of how a die has six things and the probability of each is 1/6. So 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 = 1.) Let G = the probability of grape, C = probability of cherry and O = the probability of orange. From Idea #2, G + C + O = 1. Since we know G and C, then

3/10 + 1/5 + O = 1.

3/10 + 2/10 + O = 1

5/10 + O = 1

O = 5/10

Thus, the probability of an orange jelly bean is 5/10 = 1/2.

Mr. Malloy wants to make sure Amo and Javier get the best possible grade after five tests and can either give a grade based on t
joja [24]
The data has been properly arranged in tabular form and is shown below in the image.

First we need to find the mean and median of scores of both students.

1) For Amo:
Mean = \frac{97+92+89+55+90}{5}=84.6
Median = Middle Value when data is arranged in ascending order = 90

2) For Javier:
Mean =\frac{68+97+65+92+95}{5}=83.4
Median = Middle Value when data is arranged in ascending order = 92

For both the students, value of Median is larger then the mean. So in order to give the best possible grade Mr. Malloy should use the median score for both students.

Maxwell’s vegetarian tacos requires 3/4 tablespoon of chili powder for every 1/2 pound of vegetables. How much chili powder will
Zina [86]

Answer:

1 1/8 or 9/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up a proportion. The proportion will be teaspoons of chili powder over pound of vegetables.

The first proportion will be..

\frac{x}{y} x is 3/4 and y is 1/2. Across from that proportion make another one

\frac{x}{y} x is "n" because you're trying to figure out how much chili powder you need. y is 1 3/4.

Multiply 3/4 and 1 3/4, which is 9/16. Then, divide 9/16 and 1/2, which is 9/8. Simplify it to 1 1/8, and Maxwell will need 1 1/8 teaspoons of chili powder.

Hope this wasn't too confusing :)
