Answer:
<em>Beck actually caught 45 fish</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>System of Equations</u>
We call the following variables:
x = number of fish Ally caught
y = number of fish Beck caught
They caught a total of 75 fish, thus:
x + y = 75 [1]
If Ally had caught twice as much fish as she actually did, and Beck had caught three times as many fish as he actually did, then Ally would have caught 75 fewer fish than Beck, thus:
3y = 2x + 75 [2]
From [1]:
x = 75 - y [3]
Substituting in [2]:
3y = 2(75 - y) + 75
Operating:
3y = 150 - 2y + 75
Simplifying:
5y = 225
Dividing by 5:
y = 45
Beck actually caught 45 fish
Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation of a parabola with vertex at (2, -1) is
y = a(x - 2)^2 - 1
Using the given point: -3 = a(4 - 2)^2 - 1
-2 = a(2)^2
4a = -2
a = -1/2
Therefore, required equation is
y = -1/2(x - 2)^2 - 1
y = -1/2(x^2 - 4x + 4) - 1
y = -1/2x^2 + 2x - 2 - 1
y = -1/2x^2 + 2x - 3
Answer:
5/6
Step-by-step explanation:
When dividing fractions, we use a rule where we keep the first number, change the sign, and flip the second number.
3 1/3 must be converted to an improper fraction before we can do this, though.
3 1/3 is 10/3 because we multiply 3 by the denominator, also 3, and then add one, so 10/3.
Now we can divide. Remember 4 is the same thing as 4/1
10/3 ÷ 4/1
Keep the first fraction the same, change the division sign into a multiplication sign, and divide by flip the second fraction.
It ends up looking like 10/3 x 1/4
Multiply: 10 x 1 and 3 x 4
It's 10/12, but we can simplify that by dividing both the top and the bottom by 2.
The final answer is 5/6
Answer:
Amelia drove 90 miles in 3 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
she drove 10 miles in 20 minutes
we multiply this by 3, and get
30 miles in an hour ( 60 minutes)
then we multiply this by 3 and get
90 miles in 4 hours (180 minutes) :)
