The scouts packed 9 boxes of different kinds of chips for their trip. Each box had 10 bags of chips. These clues show what they

had left at the end of the trip. They ate all the rest.
Clues:

2 full boxes of potato chips and 3 bags left over
1 fewer box of nacho chips than potato chips, with no bags left over
twice as many loose bags of barbecue chips than loose bags of potato chips, with no full boxes left over
How many bags of chips did the scouts eat on their trip?

The scouts eat 51 bags of chips on their trip

<h3>How to determine the number of bags of chips?</h3>

The given parameters are:

Boxes = 9

Bag = 10 chips

2 full boxes of potato chips and 3 bags left over.

This represents:

Potato chips = 2 * 10 + 3

Potato chips = 23 i.e. 23 bags potato chips are left over

1 fewer box of nacho chips than potato chips, with no bags left over

This represents

Nacho chips = (2 - 1) * 10

Nacho chips = 10 i.e. 10 bags of nacho chips are left over

The loose bags of potato chips is 3.

So, we have:

Barbecue chips = 2 * 3 bags

Barbecue chips = 6 bags

At this point, we have:

Potato chips = 23 bags
Nacho chips = 10 bags
Barbecue chips = 6 bags

The total number of bags left over is

Total = 23 + 10 + 6

Total = 39

The number of bags eaten is:

Eaten = 9 * 10 - 39

Evaluate

Eaten = 51

Hence, the scouts eat 51 bags of chips on their trip

Paola is selling bags of homemade caramel corn for a club fundraiser. The amount she makes depends on the number of bags sold. B

BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

She realised $12 from selling 8 bags of caramel corn

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(8, 12)

Required

Determine what it means based on the available information

A function is always written as (x,y)

Where x is dependent on y

By comparison,

x = bags of caramel corn = 8

y = amount realised = 12

Assuming the currency is in dollars

Conclusively,

She realised $12 from selling 8 bags of caramel corn.

Can someone please explain how to do these?

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

<u>First question answer:</u> The limit is 69

<u>Second question answer:</u> The limit is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

For the first limit, plug in $x=8$ in the expression $(9x-3)$ , that's the answer for linear equations and limits.

So we have:

$9x-3\\9(8)-3\\72-3\\69$

The answer is 69

For the second limit, if we do same thing as the first, we will get division by 0. Also indeterminate form, 0 divided by 0. Thus we would think that the limit does not exist. But if we do some algebra, we can easily simplify it and thus plug in the value $x=1$ into the simplified expression to get the correct answer. Shown below:

$\frac{x^2+8x-9}{x^2-1}\\\frac{(x+9)(x-1)}{(x-1)(x+1)}\\\frac{x+9}{x+1}$

<em>Now putting 1 in $x$ gives us the limit:</em>

$\frac{x+9}{x+1}\\\frac{1+9}{1+1}=\frac{10}{2}=5$

So the answer is 5

If sin θ = 2 over 7 and tan θ > 0, what is the value of cos θ?

sergey [27]

Sin θ = 2 / 7
tan θ > 0
cos θ = ?

sin θ = opposite / hypotenuse
tan θ = opposite / adjacent
cos θ = adjacent / hypotenuse

short leg = opposite = 2
hypotenuse = 7
long leg = adjacent = ?

adjacent = √(7² - 2²)
adjacent = √(49 - 4)
adjacent = √45
adjacent = √9 * 5
adjacent = 3 √5

cos θ = adjacent / hypotenuse
cos θ = 3√5 / 7
