Tammy is sure that she made the same number of baskets as Joan. Altogether the five players made 40 baskets. How many baskets did each player make?

Answer: The approximate values that every player make are,

Tammy = grace = 5.43 baskets

Jenny = 16.30 Baskets

Alex = 11.43 Baskets

Joan = 1.43

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Grace made x baskets.

Then According to the question,

Jenny made baskets = 3x

Alexis made basket = x + 6

Joan made basket = x - 4

Tammy made baskets = x

Since, Altogether the five players made 40 baskets.

⇒ x+ 3x + x + 6 + x - 4 + x = 40

⇒ 7x + 2 = 40

⇒ 7x = 38

⇒ x = 38 / 7 = 5.42857142857 ≈ 5.43

Thus, Grace made baskets= Tammy made baskets = x = 5.43

Jenny made baskets = 3 × x = 16.2857142857 ≈ 16.30

Alexis made basket = x + 6 = 11.4285714286 ≈ 11.43

Joan made basket = x - 4 = 1.42857142857

≈ 1.43

A submarine dives 300 feet every 2 minutes, and 6,750 feet every 45 minutes. Solve for A and

Gelneren [198K]

A: To find the rate in feet per minute, we can use the information given.
Every two minutes, the submarine dives 300 feet. So
$\frac{300feet}{2minutes} = 150 \frac{feet}{minute}$ .
In order to confirm that our rate is correct, we can use the second set of information given.
$\frac{6750feet}{45minutes}$ = $150 \frac{feet}{minute}$ .
Since we know that the rate is 150 feet per minute, we can multiply it by any number of minutes and get the answer of how deep the submarine is. We can use a variable x to represent the number of minutes and y to represent the depth in feet.
$y=150x$
There's our equation.
B: It would be more reasonable to use an equation with the rate feet per minute because it is more accurate since the time interval isn't too big.

Student Council sponsors weekly dances at their school on Friday nights. The admission price for each person is $4 for Student C

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

$110

Step-by-step explanation:

So first you have to do 15*4. We get the 4 from the admission fees and the 15 from the number of dances they attend. From this answer we can see the total of money they will be paying for admission for the 15 dances.

15*4=$60

However, our answer isn't just $50 as we are also told membership costs $50. So no we add $50 to $60, which gives us an answer of $110, which is the amount the member will pay if they attend 15 dances during the school year.

Let f(x)=x2+15x+56

Ivan

Answer:

-8, -7

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=x^2+15x+56

0 =x^2+15x+56

What two numbers multiply together to make 56 and add together to 15

7*8 = 56

7+8=15

0 = (x+8) (x+7)

Then use the zero product property

x+8 =0 x+7 =0

x+8-8 =0-8 x+7-7 =0-7

x=-8 x=-7

Maddie bought 3 2/3 yards of satin ribbon at the craft store. She wanted to make hair bows for the cheer squad. Each bow require

kotegsom [21]

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Total yards of satin bought by Maddie = $3\frac{2}{3}$ yards

Number of yards required make one ribbon = $\frac{2}{3}$ yards

To find:

Number of complete bows that can be made ?

Solution:

First of all, let us learn about converting the mixed fraction to fractional form.

Formula:

$a\dfrac{b}{c} = \dfrac{a\times c+b}{c}$

Therefore, total yards of satin bought by Maddie can be written in fractional form as:

$3\dfrac{2}{3} = \dfrac{3\times 3+2}{3} = \dfrac{11}{3}$

One hair bow requires $\frac{2}{3}$ yards of ribbon.

Number of hair bows that can be made, can be found by dividing the total ribbon length by ribbon required for making one hair bow.

Answer is:

$\dfrac{\frac{11}{3}}{\frac{2}{3}}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{11\times 3}{2\times 3}\\\approx 4$

4 hair bows can be made.
