Answer:

7/288

Step-by-step explanation:

Real size: 12 ft

Model size: 3.5 in.

Bag of bird seeds that only cost $22.25 is marked up to 25.30.what is the percent markup
natima [27]

To get the answer to this problem, first we have to subtract the marked up cost to the cost of the product. So we first minus 25.3 and 22.25. When we do this, we will get a difference of 3.05. This is the profit that you will earn. So after that, we have to divide 3.05 and 25.30 to get the mark up percentage. When we do this, we will get an answer of 0.12. So in order to convert that into a percentage, we just have to multiply it by 100 and we will get 12%.

Is the point (3, -2) a solution to the following system of equations? How do you know?
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

YES

Step-by-step explanation:

Any straight line can be represented by an equation of the form

Y = mX + b

where m is the slope and b is the Y intercept, so these two equations are lines. The only solution is where the two lines cross, so must satisfy both equations. Plugging in 3 for X and -2 for Y we get

Y = -3X + 7

-2 = -3(3) + 7

-2 = -9 + 7

-2 = -2 True

AND,

Y = 2X - 8

-2 = 2(3) - 8

-2 = 6 - 8

-2 = -2 True

So since both are true, yes (3, -2)  is the solution.

two jets leave an airport at the same time in opposite directions. the first jet is traveling at 323 mph and the other at 347 mp
skelet666 [1.2K]

Remark

This may be a little confusing, but because they are travelling in opposite directions, the distances add when you want to get how far apart they are.

d1 + d2 = 1541

Equation

Let the time this happens = t

d1 = 323*t

d2 = 347*t

323*t + 347*t = 1541 Combine like terms on the left.

670t = 1541 Divide by 670

t = 1541/670

t = 2.3 hours pass before the distance of 1541 miles are between the two planes. You might need the answer to be 2 hours 18 minutes.

<h3>Answer:  36%</h3>

============================================

Explanation:

There are 20 blue cards out of 10+20+25 = 55 cards total.

Divide the 20 over 55 to get

20/55 = 0.363636...

where the "36"s go on forever

So 20/55 = 0.3636 approximately

Move the decimal point over 2 spots to go from 0.3637 to 36.37%

Then round to the nearest percent: 36.37% ---> 36%

The probability of getting a blue card is approximately 36%

A broken calculator can double any number or permute its digits (but 0 cannot go up front). Can we start with number 1 and obtai
stira [4]

Answer: it's impossible to obtain 78

Step-by-step explanation: Since the calculator can double any number or permute its digits except 0 

starting with number 1 

1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128

Therefore, it's impossible to obtain 78 by a series of these operations
