Answer:

You need to buy 6.5 cubic yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to put a 5 inch thick layer of topsoil for a new 23 ft by 18 ft garden.

We know 1 yard = 3 feet or 1 yard = 36 inches

Then 1 inch = 1/36 yard.

1 feet = 1/3 yard

The volume of the layer of the topsoil is given by:

= 5(1/36)(23)(1/3)(18)(1/3) cubic yards

2070/324=6.39 cubic yards

Now, the store only sells increments of 1/4 = 0.25 cubic yards.

So, we need to buy 6.39/0.25=25.56 increments

Rounded to 26 increments.

Therefore, we need to buy 26 increments of 1/4 cubic yards.

That becomes 6.5 cubic yards.

5 inches = 5/12 = 0.4166 feet

23 x 18 x 0.4166 = 172.5 cubic feet

1 cubic foot = 0.037037 cubic yards

172.5 x 0.037037 = 6.39 round up to 6.5 cubic yards

Given that (1, 0, 1) is a solution to a system of three linear equations, which of the following is true about the system?
Anna35 [415]
<h3>Answer:  Choice C) </h3><h3>The system can only be independent and consistent</h3>

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

Explanation:

Let's go through the answer choices

  • A) This isn't possible. Either a system is consistent or inconsistent. It cannot be both at the same time. The term "inconsistent" literally means "not consistent". It's like saying a cup is empty and full at the same time. We can rule out choice A.
  • B) This is similar to choice A and we cannot have a system be both independent and dependent. Either a system is independent or dependent, but not both. Independence means that the two equations are not tied together, while dependent equations are some multiple of each other. We can rule out choice B.
  • C) We'll get back to this later
  • D) The independence/dependence status is unknown without the actual equations present. However, we know 100% that this system is not inconsistent. This is because the system has at least one solution. Inconsistent systems do not have any solutions at all (eg: parallel lines that never cross). We can rule out choice D because of this.

Going back to choice C, again we don't have enough info to determine if the system is independent or dependent, but we at least know it's consistent. Consistent systems have one or more solutions. So part of choice C can be confirmed. It being the only thing left means that it has to be the final answer.

If it were me as the teacher, I'd cross out the "independent" part of choice C and simply say the system is consistent.

4. A mountain climber needs to descend 2,000 feet.
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

C. 500 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

If we want to make it all equal, we can divide the 2,000 ft by 4 because we have 4 equal descents.

2000 ÷ 4 = 500

He should travel <u>500 feet</u> in each descent.

Aleksandr [31]
To evaluate an algebraic expression means to find the value of the expression when the variable is replaced by a given number. To evaluate an expression, we substitute the given number for the variable in the expression and then simplify the expression using the order of operations.
