What is the value of the expression 2^2 + 4^2 ÷ 2^2? 3 6 8 16

1 answer:

4 0

The answer is 8 because you use the order of operations. So it would be 16 divided by 4, then you would do 4+4 which is 8

A car travels 20 mph slower in a bad rain storm than in sunny weather. the car travels the same distance in 2 hrs in sunny weath

ycow [4]

You can create two equations.

"A car travels 20 mph slower in a bad rain storm than in sunny weather."

$\sf x-20=y$

Where 'x' represents speed in sunny weather and 'y' represents speed in rainy weather.

"The car travels the same distance in 2 hrs in sunny weather as it does in 3 hrs in rainy weather."

$\sf 2x=3y$

Where 'x' represents speed in sunny weather and 'y' represents speed in rainy weather.

We want to find the speed of the car in sunny weather, or 'x'. Plug in the value for 'y' in the first equation into the second equation.

$\sf \boxed{\sf x-20}=y$
$\sf 2x=3y\rightarrow2x=3(x-20)$

Distribute:

$\sf 2x=3x-60$

Subtract 3x to both sides:

$\sf -x=-60$

Divide -1 to both sides:

$\sf x=60$

So the car goes 60 mph in sunny weather.

Mrs Tan bought 4 times as many pens as notebooks and each notebook cost $8.20 more than each pen. She spent $26 more on the book

lilavasa [31]

Let x be the cost of 1 pen
then cost of 1 notebook = x + 8.20

Let y be the number of pens Tan buys
then number of notebooks Tan buys = y/4

She spent $26 more on books than on pens which means

Cost of notebooks - Cost of pens = 26
(x + 8.20) * y/4 - xy = 26

Sinplifying it

(xy + 8.20y)/4 - xy = 26
(xy + 8.20y - 4xy)/4 = 26
8.20y - 3xy = 104

She spent $394 which means

Cost of notebooks + Cost of pens = 394
(x + 8.20) * y/4 + xy = 394

Simplifying it

(xy + 8.20y)/4 + xy = 394
(xy + 8.20y + 4xy)/4 = 394
8.20y + 5xy = 1576

Now, we have two equations,

(1) 8.20y - 3xy = 104
(2) 8.20y + 5xy = 1576

Now we need to find a third equation with either x or y as the subject of any of both the previous equations.

Let's make y the subject of (2) equation

8.20y + 5xy = 1576
y(8.20 + 5X) = 1576
(3) y = 1576/(8.20 + 5x)

Let's substitute the new value of y from (3) into (1) because we rearranged (2) to from (3)

8.20y - 3xy = 104
y(8.20 - 3x) = 104
y = 104/(8.20 - 3x)
1576/(8.20 + 5x) = 104/(8.20 - 3x)
1576 * (8.20 - 3x) = 104 * (8.20 + 5x)
12923.2 - 4728x = 852.8 + 520x
12923.2 - 852.8 = 4728x + 520x
12070.4 = 5248x
12070.4/5248 = x
x = 2.3

Now find the value of y by substituting the value of x in either equation, preferably (3)

y = 1576/(8.20 + 5x)
y = 1576/(8.20 + 5 * (2.3))
y = 80

Therefore cost of 1 notebook = x + 8.20 = 2.3 + 8.20 = $10.50

In ¾ pound of a banana bread, there is ½ cup of cinnamon. How much cinnamon does the bread contain per pound?

Shkiper50 [21]

1 pound of bread contains $\frac{2}{3}$ cups of cinnamon.

<h3>Solution:</h3>

Given that , In $\frac{3}{4}$ pound of a banana bread, there is $\frac{1}{2}$ cup of cinnamon

To find:

Amount of cinnamon per pound in bread

Let "n" be the cinnamon per pound present in bread

$\frac{3}{4}$ pound of banana bread ⇒ $\frac{1}{2}$ cup of cinnamon

Then, 1 pound of bread ⇒ n cups of cinnamon

Now, let us use criss cross method (i.e. multiplying the diagonal ordered terms and equating them)

$\begin{array}{l}{\rightarrow n \times \frac{3}{4}=\frac{1}{2} \times 1} \\\\ {\rightarrow n \times \frac{3}{4}=\frac{1}{2}} \\\\ {\rightarrow n=\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{4}{3}} \\\\ {\rightarrow n=\frac{2}{3}}\end{array}$

Hence, 1 pound of bread contains $\frac{2}{3}$ cups of cinnamon.
