Answer:

a. $3+\frac{x}{2} =8$

b. x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

a. The number of home runs hit by Jack last season = x

It is given that Henry hit 3 more than half as many home runs as Jack hit.

Half of the runs hit by Jack = $\frac{x}{2}$

3 more than half the runs = $3+\frac{x}{2}$

So, the number of home runs hit by Henry = $3+\frac{x}{2}$

But, it is given that Henry hit a total of 8 runs.

Therefore, $3+\frac{x}{2} =8$

b. $3+\frac{x}{2} =8$

Subtract 3 from both sides.

$\frac{x}{2} =8-3$

= 5

x = 5 × 2

= 10

Hence, Jack hit 10 runs in the last season.

Number of Gallons 2 4 x

Travka [436]

Answer:

The value of x is 8 gallon.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a table showing approximate conversion from gallons to liters.

Number of Gallons 2 4 x

Number of Liters 7.6 15.2 30.4

We are required to find value of x,

Given : 2 gallon is equal to 7.6 liters.

⇒ 1 liter is equal to $\frac{2}{7.6}=0.263$ liters. ........(1)

given, x gallon equal to 30.4 liters.

⇒ 1 liter is equal to $\frac{x}{30.4}$ liters. .........(2)

from (1) and (2),

⇒ $0.263=\frac{x}{30.4}$

Solving for x, we get,

⇒ $0.263 \times 30.4=x$

⇒ $7.9952=x$

Approximately x = 8

Thus, the value of x is 8 gallon.

Given the arithmetic sequence: u(1)= 124, u(2)= 117, u(3)= 110, u(4)=103,...

omeli [17]

We are given

arithmetic sequence: u(1)= 124, u(2)= 117, u(3)= 110, u(4)=103

so, first term is 124

u(1)= 124

now, we can find common difference

$d=u(2)-u(1)$

$d=117-124$

$d=-7$

now, we can find kth term

$u(k)=u(1)+(k-1)d$

now, we can plug values

and we get

$u(k)=124+(k-1)*-7$

$u(k)=124-7k+7$

$u(k)=131-7k$

u(k) must be negative

so,

$u(k)=131-7k$

$131-7k$

now, we can solve for k

$7k>131$

$k>18.714$

so, it's closest integer value is

$k=19$ ..............Answer

A baseball team played 130 games in a season. If it won sixteen more games

egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

The team has 92 wins and 38 losses.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a season 130 games are played by a baseball team.

Let us assume that the team wins x games and losses y games.

Therefore, we can write, x + y=130....... (1)

It is given that if the team won sixteen more games twice as many games as it lost.

So, we can conclude that x =2y+16 ......(2)

Hence, solving equations (1) and (2) we get, (2y+16) + y =130

⇒ 3y = 114

⇒ y =38

And from equation (2), x = 2×38 + 16 = 92

Therefore, the team has 92 wins and 38 losses. (Answer)

Water flows through a pipe at a rate of 710 pints per day. Express this rate of flow in cubic feet per month. Round your answer

Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

356 ft³ per month.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question,

Water flows at a rate of 710 pints per day.

We shall convert 710 pints to cubic feet (ft³).

This can be obtained as follow:

1 pint = 0.0167 ft³

Therefore,

710 pints = 710 × 0.0167 = 11.857 ft³

From the calculations made above, 710 pints is equivalent to 11.857 ft³.

Thus, we can say that water flows at a rate of 11.857 ft³ per day.

Finally, we shall determine the rate of flow of water in cubic feet per month.

Note: there are 30 days in a month.

Water flow at a rate of 11.857 ft³ per day.

Therefore, the rate of flow of water in 30 days will be = 30 × 11.857 ft³ = 356 ft³

Thus, the flow rate of water is 356 ft³ per month.
