bens owns two cars, car 4 and car B. This year, car A is 9 years old and car B is x years old. 5 years ago, the ratio of the age of car 4 to the age of car B was 2:5 Calculate the value of x.​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: 45 yrs old

Step-by-step explanation:

Car A  = 9 yrs old

Car B = X yrs old

The ratio for the cars are

Car A : Car B

or

2 : 5

You want to make it easier to read so you make both the ratio number and the given age number (9) the same number.

Multiply Car A age by 2 to make it 18 and the Ratio 2 by 9 to make it 18. This makes them the same number. Since you did this to one side, you have to do it on the other side by multiplying the 5 by 9 which is 45.

Your new ratio is now

18 : 45

This means Car B is 45 yrs old

Answers

A . 3 pounds of potatoes

B . 2 pounds of potatoes

A . Janice will purchase potatoes until the value of potatoes is less than the cost of potatoes. Janice has $5.00 to spend on potatoes and the cost of potatoes is $1.00.

By assuming that the First pounce of potatoes is worth $1.50. which is greater than $1.00. If the second pound is worth $1.14, then Janice will purchase these as well, since the value is more than $1.00. If the remaining pounds are worth $0.30 then Janice will not purchase these because the value is less than the cost.

Thus Janice will purchase 3 pounds of potatoes for the Total cost of $3.00

B. Now assume Janica has only $2.00 to spend on potatoes. She will purchase the first pound which is $1.50 and the second pound which is $1.14. She now spends her entire amount of money on potatoes. If she want to purchase she could not do that.

Answers

The required equation is 2.5x + 5y + 5.7z = 75.

What is mass?

Mass is measured in terms of weight of body. Gram, kilogram, and pounds are some of the standard mass units to measure.

Given that,

Pennies, nickels, and quarters are added to a scale by Stephanie until the combined weight of the coins is 75 grams.

Number of pennies = x

Each pennies has a mass = 2.5 grams

Mass of x pennies  = 2.5x grams

Number of nickels = y

Each nickels has a mass = 5  grams

Mass of y nickels = 5y grams

Number of Quarters = z

Each Quarter has a mass = 5.7  grams

Mass of z Quarters = 5.7z grams

Total Mass = Mass of x Pennies + mass of y nickels + mass of z quarters

= 2.5x + 5y + 5.7z grams

Total Mass = 75 grams

Equation both is 2.5x + 5y + 5.7z = 75

Bailey starts playing a game on her cell phone with the battery fully charged and plays until the phone battery dies. While playing the game the charge in Bailey's battery decreases by half a percent per minute. Write a function for the percent change in the battery while Bailey is playing the gane

Answers

The linear function for the percent change in the battery while Bailey is playing the gane is:

B(t) = 100 - 0.5t, 0 ≤ t ≤ 200.

What is a linear function?

A linear function is modeled by:

y = mx + b

In which:

m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.

For this problem, we have that:

The intercept is the initial battery, of 100.The slope is of -0.5, as the battery decays by 0.5% each minute.

Hence the function is:

B(t) = 100 - 0.5t.

The battery will be of 0, when:

B(t) = 0.

100 - 0.5t = 0.

t = 100/0.5.

t = 200.

Hence the function is:

B(t) = 100 - 0.5t, 0 ≤ t ≤ 200.

last year springfeild middle school had 620 students. this yearz it jas 559 students. To the nearest tenth, what is the precent decrease​

Answers

The percentage decrease is 9.83%.

The previous year Springfield middle school students were 620. This year it is 559 students.

Here we have to find the decrease in the percentage of students from the previous year.

The decrease in the students = 620- 559

                                                 = 61

Percentage decrease = (decrease/number of students last year)× 100

                                    = (61/ 620 )× 100

                                    = 0.09838 ×100

                                    = 9.83%

Therefore the percentage decrease in the number of students from the previous year is 9.83%

(a) two lawn car companies are competing for a landscaping contract. company a charges $250 monthly consulting fee plus $10 per square foot of landscaping, whereas company b charges a $90 monthly consulting fee plus $12 per square foot of landscaping. for how many square feet of landscaping will the two companies charge the same amount?

Answers

Total charge by company A for 80 sq.feet = 250+10(80)= $1050

Total charge by company B for 80 sq.feet = 90+12(90)=$1170

Let x be the no.of square feet for landscaping

Company A

Monthly consulting fee = $250

Cost of landscaping of 1 sq.feet = $10

Cost of landscaping of x sq.feet = $10x

So, Total charge by company A = 250+10x  ---1

Company B

Monthly consulting fee = $90

Cost of landscaping of 1 sq.feet = $12

Cost of landscaping of x sq.feet = $12x

So, Total charge by company B = 90+12x   ---2

Now we are supposed to find  how many square feet of landscaping will the two companies charge the same amount

So, Equate 1 and 2

250+10x = 90+12x

160=2x

80=x

So, the two companies charge the same amount for 80 sq.feet

Total charge by company A for 80 sq.feet = 250+10(80)= $1050

Total charge by company B for 80 sq.feet = 90+12(90)=$1170
