Suppose you got 8 mangoes and 3 apples for $18 and 3 mangoes and 5 apples for $14.50.

1 answer:

7 0

Let x = cost of mango
y = c of apples
8x+3y=18.
3x+5y=14.5 

 
24x+9y=54
24x+40y=116
multiplying them with 3 and 8 resectively. 
subtract one from the other we get 
40y-9y=116-54 
31y=62 
y=2.
cost of apple=2$ per apple
8x+3y=18,
8x+3(2)=18.
8x=12. x=12/8=1.5 
cost of mango i= 1.5 $ per mango
hope this helps

A wheel spins at 300 revolutions per minute. What is the angular velocity of the wheel, in radians per second? Round the answer

Ostrovityanka [42]

well, this is just a matter of simple unit conversion, so let's recall that one revolution on a circle is just one-go-around, radians wise that'll be 2π, and we also know that 1 minute has 60 seconds, let's use those values for our product.

$\cfrac{300~~\begin{matrix} r \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}~~ }{~~\begin{matrix} min \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}~~ }\cdot \cfrac{2\pi ~rad}{~~\begin{matrix} r \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}~~ }\cdot \cfrac{~~\begin{matrix} min \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}~~ }{60secs}\implies \cfrac{(300)(2\pi )rad}{60secs}\implies 10\pi ~\frac{rad}{secs}\approx 31.42~\frac{rad}{secs}$
