Mushrooms are healthy food for wild songbirds. Adam buys a 3.5 oz container of mealworms for $8.75. Marco buys a 3.75- oz container of mealworms for $9.75. ​Which container is a better buy?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Adam's container

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Adam

[tex]Weight = 3.5\ oz[/tex]

[tex]Amount = \$8.75[/tex]

Macro

[tex]Weight = 3.75\ oz[/tex]

[tex]Amount = \$9.75[/tex]

Required

Determine the better buy

First, we need to determine the unit cost per oz of each

i.e.

[tex]Unit\ Cost = \frac{Amount}{Weight}[/tex]

For Adam:

[tex]Unit\ Cost = \frac{8.75}{3.5}[/tex]

[tex]Unit\ Cost = 2.5[/tex]

For Marco:

[tex]Unit\ Cost = \frac{9.75}{3.75}[/tex]

[tex]Unit\ Cost = 2.6[/tex]

The better buy of both is the one with the smaller unit cost.

Since 2.5 < 2.6, we can conclude that Adam's container is a better buy

Answers

Answer:

32 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

$3 flat fee for a package, plus a fee based on the weight of the package. The company charges $0.75 per pound, plus an additional $0.50 for every pound over 12 pounds.

The first step would be to derived an equation

$3 + $0.75

3 + 0.75x

Where x = number of pounds

George plans on sending a package that is over 12 pounds. He has $27 to spend on shipping.

Hence,

3 + 0.75x = 27

0.75x + 3 = 27

0.75x = 27 - 3

0.75x = 24

x = 24/0.75

x = 32 pounds

The maximum number of pounds that this package could be is 32 pounds

For a craft each student will need five rubber bands.There.There are eight students.Rubber bands come in bags of nine. How many will be needed?How many rubber bands will be left over?

Answers

Answer:

40 rubber bands are needed

5 rubber bands will be left from 5 bags of of rubber band

Step-by-step explanation:

Each student will need five rubber bands.

There are eight students

Total rubber bands needed = rubber bands per student × number of students

= 5 × 8

= 40

Total rubber bands needed = 40

Rubber bands come in bags of nine.

Number of bags needed = Total rubber bands needed / number of rubber bands in each bag

= 40 / 9

= 4.44 bags

It is impossible to get decimal number of rubber bands bag, so, the next whole number after 4 is 5

5 rubber bands bags will be bought which = 5 × 9

= 45 rubber bands

Only 40 rubber bands are needed

Left over rubber bands = 45 - 40

= 5 rubber bands

A flagpole 12 meters tall casts a 24-meter shadow. Nearby, luke stands and is 4 meters tall. Determine the length of luka's shadow. Include all labels.

Answers

Answer:

8 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a question that deals with Proportion

Height of flagpole/Shadow of flagpole = Height of Luke/Shadow of Luke

Length of the shadow of Luke = x

= 12/24 = 4/x

We cross Multiply

12 × x = 24 × 4

x = 24 × 4/12

x = 8 meters

Hence, the length of the shadow of Luke = 8 meters

Jake walked all the way around the perimeter of a square playground that has sides n feet long, then he walked an additional 20 feet. Which person walked the same distance as Jake?

Answers

Options :

Sarah, who walked a straight distance of n+10 feet.

Nancy, who walked around a square garden measuring n+5 feet on each side.

Jules, who walked around a rectangular room measuring n feet wide and 10 feet long.

Billy, who walked around a square lot measuring 20 feet on each side

Answer:

Nancy, who walked around a square garden measuring n+5 feet on each side.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Jake walked round the perimeter of a square with sides n feets long

Additional distance walked = 20 feets

Perimeter of a square = 4n

Where n = Length of the side

Hence Jake's total distance :

Perimeter walked + additional distance

4n + 20 feets

Comparing to Distance walked by Nancy:

Side length of square garden = n+5

Perimeter of the garden = 4 * side length

Perimeter of the garden = 4 * (n + 5)

Perimeter of the garden = 4n + 20 feets

Hence, Nancy walked the same distance as Jake

A pitcher ok a baseball team is practicing his fast ball trying to ensure he hits the strike zone. He consistently releases the ball 3.4 feet high while he is pitching. The pitcher must aim for the ball to hit the ground approximately 58.8 feet from the pitcher's mound in order to stay in the strike zone. At what angle of depression, to the tenth of a degree, must he release the ball

Answers

Answer:

3.3°

Step-by-step explanation:

The set up of the question will give a right angled triangle where the height covered by the bal is the opposite side.

The length at which the pitcher hit the ground is the hypotenuse.

Given

Opposite side = 3.4m

Hypotenuse = 58.8m

Required

Angle of depression

Using SOH CAH TOA trigonometry identity

According to SOH,

Sin(theta) = opposite/hypotenuse

Sin(theta) = 3.4/58.8

Sin(theta) =0.05782

theta = sin^-1(0.05782)

theta = 3.32°

Hence the angle of depression that he must release the ball to nearest tenth is 3.3°

4x + 2 = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the perimeter of a triangle, add up the length of all three sides of the triangle.

Here, the sides of the triangle are "x+6", "x+6", and "2x-10". When you add up all three sides of the triangle, it should be equal to the perimeter, 30. So:

(x+6) + (x+6) + (2x-10) = 30

We can simplify this equation:

(2 * (x+6)) + (2x-10) = 30

2x + 12 + 2x - 10 = 30

4x + 2 = 30

Answer D: 4x + 2 = 30
