Answer:

Length of the shorter pipe is 0.55 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of one longer pipe = x meters and the length of shorter pipe = y meters

Now we will form the equations to get the length of shorter pipe or value of y.

x = 7y -----(1)

x - 2.2 = 3y ----(2)

Now we put the value of x from equation 1 to 2.

7y - 2.2 = 3y

7y - 3y = 2.2

4y = 2.2

y = 2.2/4 = 0.55 meters

Therefore the length of the shorter pipe is 0.55 meters.

If 94 people attend a concert and tickets for adults cost $2.5 while tickets for children cost $1.75 and total receipts for the
Tasya [4]

Answer:

52 adults and 42 children attended the concert

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total attendees=94 people

Adults tickets=$2.5

Children tickets=$1.75

Total receipts=$203.5

Let adults=a

Children=c

a+c=94 (1)

2.5a + 1.75c=203.5 (2)

From (1)

a+c=94

a=94-c

Substitute a=94-c into (2)

2.5a + 1.75c=203.5

2.5(94-c) + 1.75c=203.5

235-2.5c+1.75c=203.5

-0.75c=203.5-235

-0.75c=-31.5

Divide both sides by -0.75

-0.75c/-0.75=-31.5/-0.75

c=42

Substitute c=42 into (1)

a+c=94

a+42=94

a=94-42

=52

a=52

Therefore,

52 adults and 42 children attended the concert

Mitchell currently sells stoves for company a at a salary of $12,000 plus $150 commission for each stove he sells Company B offe
ipn [44]

Answer:

Mitchell needs to sell 120 stoves for the options to be equal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Company A gives Mitchell $12000 salary plus $150 commission per stove selling and Company B is offering Mitchell $24000 salary plus $50 commission per stove selling.

So, if Mitchell sells x number of stoves such that both the plans become equal, then we can write  

12000 + 150x = 24000 + 50x

⇒ 100x = 12000

⇒ x = 120

Therefore, Mitchell needs to sell 120 stoves for the options to be equal. (Answer)

How can you use a rate to compare the costs of two boxes of cereal that are different sizes?
Leya [2.2K]
If you are given a unit rate (ex: $0.59 per ounce) then you can multiple this by the weight of the cereal to find the cost of the entire box. Do this for both boxes, and then compare the costs.

Hope this helps. I'm not sure that I'm on the right path, but I can help you further if you provide more details.

Good luck!
