Answer: Phoebe have 48 apples.

Explanation:

It is given that Pru, Piper, and Phoebe share apples in the ratio 5:3:4. If Pru has 24 more apples than Piper.

Let the total number of apples be x.

The sum of the ratios is,

$Sum=5+3+4=12$

Therefore the number of apples shared by Pru, Piper, Phoebe are $\frac{5}{12}x, \frac{3}{12}x,\frac{4}{12}x$ respectively.

It is given that Pru has 24 more apples than Piper, so

$\frac{5}{12}x-\frac{3}{12}x=24$

$\frac{5-3}{12}x=24$

$\frac{2}{12}x=24$

$\frac{1}{6}x=24$

$x=144$

Since phoebe have $\frac{4}{12}x$ appels,

$\frac{4}{12}x=\frac{4}{12}\times 144=48$

Therefore, Phoebe have 48 apples.

Answer:

Phoebe has 48 apples

Step-by-step explanation:

Pru's number of apples= 5x

Piper's number of apples= 3x

Phoebe's number of apples= 4x

We know that 5x=3x+24. Solve for x.

5x-3x= 24

2x=24

x=12

12*4= 48

Phoebe has 48 apples

Answer:

1 and 4 are correct. 2 and 3 are not.

Step-by-step explanation:

When x = 0 where does the horse start?

y = 1.5*sin(0 + 0.5)*2*pi + 1.5

y = 1.5*sin(0.5*2pi) + 1.5

y = 1.5*sin(pi) + 1.5 But sin pi = 0

y = 0 + 1.5 So the horse is starting at the midpoint of it's travel.

This one is a trick question. You can reason it without exact answers. At some point the sin(x + 0.5)*2pi will equal 1. When it does 1.5 * 1 + 1.5 = 3.0 At some other point sin(x + 0.5)*2pi = -1. When that happens the whole thing goes to 0. So the total of the distance traveled is 6 not three.

You can figure this one out by letting x = 0.01 When it does then the value of the function is

y = 1.5*sin [(0.01 + 0.5)*2pi] + 1.5

y = 1.5*sin(0.51*2*pi) + 1.5

y = 1.5*sin(3.204424) + 1.5

y = 1.5*(- .0623) + 1.5

y = -0.9418 + 1.5

y = 1.4058 so it is going downward The value is getting smaller.

The horse starts out in the middle of the pole. What does x need to equal so that x + 0.5 = 1 ? And why 1. The answer to why 1 is that then the sine function will equal sin(2*pi)

That happens when x = 0.5 which is 1/2 a minute. If it takes 1/2 a minute to execute 1 complete cycle, then in 5 minutes the cycle will be executed 10 times. This one is correct.

Answer:

$Q M \cong R M \Rightarrow$ definition of midpoint

$\overline{P M} \cong \overline{P M} \Rightarrow$ Reflexive property of congruence

$\Delta P Q M \cong \Delta P R M \Rightarrow$ SSS congruence postulate

$\angle Q \cong \angle R \Rightarrow$ CPCTC theorem

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Since, M is the midpoint of the line segment QR.

$\overline{Q M} \cong \overline{R M} \Rightarrow$ definition of midpoint

Step 2: The reflexive property of congruence states that a line segment or an angle or a shape is always equal to itself.

$\overline{P M} \cong \overline{P M} \Rightarrow$ Reflexive property of congruence.

Step 3: The SSS congruence postulate states that if three sides of a triangle are equal to three sides of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.

$\Delta P Q M \cong \Delta P R M \Rightarrow$ SSS congruence postulate

Step 4: CPCTC theorem states if two triangles are congruent then the sides and angles are also congruent.

$\angle Q \cong \angle R \Rightarrow$ CPCTC theorem.
