We order these data:

32 minutes------------------------3 people------------------4 walls
x--------------------------------------4 people------------------7 walls
The minutes and the people are variables inversely proportional , therefore, we multiply in parallel
32 minutes*3 people=x*4 people

The minutes and the walls are variables directly proportinal; therefore, we multiply cross.
32 minutes*7 walls=x*4 walls

Therefore:
32 minutes*3 people*7 walls=x*4 people*4 walls
x=(32 minutes*3 people*7 walls) / (4 people* 4 walls)
x=42 minutes.

Answer: the time will be 42 minutes.

The admission fee at an amusement park is 20$ for children and 35$ adults. On a certain, day 264 people entered the park, and th

shtirl [24]

Answer:

100 Adults and 164 Children

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this we will need to write two equations to solve for the two unknowns. Firstly, we know that tickets are 20 for children and 35 for adults, and that the total price was 6780. We can write an expression to represent this. 6780 is the total price, this also means it is the price of all the adults + the price of all the children. The total price of the adults tickets is the price of each ticket multiplied by the number of adults, so the total price of adult tickets can be represented by: 35A, 35 being the ticket price per adult, and A being the number of adults. Similarly the total children's price can be expressed as such: 20C, 20 being the price per child, and C being the number of children. Since we know that these two values total to 6780, we can now form an equation:

35A (total adult price) + 20C (total children price) = 6780

35A+20C=6780

Now we need another expression so we can substitute for one of the values. The other piece of information we are given, is that a total of 264 people entered the park. This means that the total number of adults + the total number of children = 264. Since we already have variables for the numbers of adults and children we now have our second equation:

A (number of adults) + C (number of children) = 264

A+C=264

Now we can use this second equation to substitute for one of the values in the first equation. Let's substitute for children:

If we rearrange the second expression we will get:

A+C-A=264-A

C=264-A

So now we substitute this expression into our first formula:

35A+20C=6780

C=264-A

35A+20(264-A)=6780

Now since we only have one unknown, we can simplify, expand and solve!

35A+20*264-20*A=6780

35A+5280-20A=6780

35A-20A+5280-5280=6780-5280

15A=1500

15A/15=1500/15

A= 100

A total of 100 adults were admitted.

Now we can use the number of adults to find the number of children using our second formula:

C=264-A

C=264-100

C=164

And there we are! A total of 100 adults and 164 children were admitted.

Hope this helped!

Absolute Bagels makes bagels using two different recipes, one recipe for regular bagels

shutvik [7]

Answer:

At its most basic, traditional bagel dough contains wheat flour (without germ or bran), salt, water, and yeast leavening. Bread flour or other high gluten flours are preferred to create the firm, dense but spongy bagel shape and chewy texture.

Step-by-step explanation:

A bagel (Yiddish: בײגל, romanized: beygl; Polish: bajgiel; also historically spelled beigel)[1] is a bread product originating in the Jewish communities of Poland. It is traditionally shaped by hand into the form of a ring from yeasted wheat dough, roughly hand-sized, that is first boiled for a short time in water and then baked. The result is a dense, chewy, doughy interior with a browned and sometimes crisp exterior. Bagels are often topped with seeds baked on the outer crust, with the traditional ones being poppy and sesame seeds. Some may have salt sprinkled on their surface, and there are different dough types, such as whole-grain and rye.

The earliest known mention of a boiled-then-baked ring-shaped bread can be found in a 13th-century Arabic cookbook, where they are referred to as ka'ak.[4] Today, bagels are widely associated with Ashkenazi Jews from the 17th century; it was first mentioned in 1610 in Jewish community ordinances in Kraków, Poland.Bagel-like bread known as obwarzanek was common earlier in Poland as seen in royal family accounts from 1394.

Bagels are now a popular bread product in North America and Poland, especially in cities with a large Jewish population, many with alternative ways of making them. Bagels are also sold (fresh or frozen, often in many flavors) in supermarkets.

The basic roll-with-a-hole design is hundreds of years old and has other practical advantages besides providing more even cooking and baking of the dough: The hole could be used to thread string or dowels through groups of bagels, allowing easier handling and transportation and more appealing seller displays.

If f(x)=3^2 and g(x)=4x^3+1 , what is the degree of (f*g)(x)?

N76 [4]

I'm assuming you meant to say f(x) = 3x^2. If that assumption is correct, then the degree is found by multiplying the leading terms from both f(x) and g(x). The leading terms are 3x^2 and 4x^3

3x^2*4x^3 = (3*4)*(x^2*x^3) = 12x^(2+3) = 12x^5

The exponent of that result is 5, so the degree of (f*g)(x) is 5
