Answer:

4 trees and 76 acorns.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount of trees be x.

18x+4=20x-4\\\\\implies2x=8\\\\\implies x=4

There are 4 trees, and there are 18x+4 acorns or 76 acorns.

Hope you have a nice day, and also you should mark brainliest :)

Answer:

<u><em>76 acorns and 4 trees</em></u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the number of acorns (a) Ms. Blue Jay plans to store.

We are told that she could hide 18 acorns (a) per tree (t) which we'll write as 18a/t.  This would result in 4 leftover acorns.

We then learn that if she hides 20 acorns per tree, 20a/t, she will have space for an extra four acorns.

There are t trees in both cases.  We can write these two scenarios as:

1)  18t + 4  = X [18 acorns are in each tree, t, plus there are 4 left over.]

2)  20t -4  = X [20 acorns per tree, t, with room to store 4 more]

These two are equal to each other:

18t + 4 = 20t - 4

2t = 8

t = 4

There are 4 trees.

Since 18t+4 = X, the total number of acorns is18*4+4 = 76 acorns and 4 trees.

Check to see if 76 acorns works for the second scenario:

Will hiding 20 acorns per tree leave room for 4 acorns if there are 76 acorns?

(4 trees)*(20 acorns/tree) = 80 acorns can be stored.  If Ms. Jay only has 76 acorns, there will be room for 4 more acorns.

Can somebody help solve either of these?
Leya [2.2K]
First one:
The circumference of the whole circle is (2π x the radius), 
and 60° is (60/360) = 1/6 of the whole circumference.

Second one:
The area of the whole circle is (π x the radius²), and
the 40° sector is (40/360) = 1/9 of the whole area.

I hope this is enough help.

How do I find miles per hour when I get minutes and miles
Scilla [17]
In this case you have:

\frac{miles}{minute}

An hour has sixty minutes.

\frac{60 minutes}{1 hour}

<span>You must multiply by this equality.

</span>(\frac{miles}{minute})(\frac{60 minutes}{1 hour})=\frac{(miles)(60 minutes)}{ (minute)(hour)}=\frac{(miles)(60)}{(hour)}


<span>You must multiply by 60 and you can convert miles per minute to miles per hour.</span>

kondor19780726 [428]
Speed= distance/time
So your distance is 36 miles and the time is 45 minutes. U convert the time to hours and you’ll get 0.75 hours.

Speed = 36/0.75
= 48 miles/hour
