Answer:

90 red cars

Step-by-step explanation:

sum the parts of the ratio 3 + 5 = 8 parts

divide 240 by 8 to find one part of the ratio

240 ÷ 8 = 30 ← 1 part of the ratio

3 parts = 3 × 30 = 90 ← number of red cars

5 parts = 5 × 30 = 150 ← number of blue cars

An electric utility company determines the monthly bill for a residential customer by adding an energy charge of 7.32 cents per

Sedaia [141]

Answer:

$y(x) = 0.0732x + 17.32$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for the monthly charge has the following format

$y(x) = ax + b$

In which y(x) is the cost in function of the number of kilowatt-hours used(x), a is the price of each killowatt hour and b is the fixed(base) charge.

Base charge of $17.32 per month.

This means that $b = 17.32$

charge of 7.32 cents per kilowatt-hour

Our answer is in dollars. Each dollar is 100 cents. So 7.32 cents is $a = 0.0732$

Write an equation for the monthly charge y in terms of x, the number of kilowatt-hours used.

$y(x) = ax + b$

$y(x) = 0.0732x + 17.32$

In a naval engagement, one-third of the fleet was captured, one-sixth was sunk, and two ships were destroyed by fire. One-sevent

Otrada [13]

Answer:

60 ships.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number of ships in the naval fleet be represented by x

One-third of the fleet was captured = 1/3x

One-sixth was sunk = 1/6x

Two ships were destroyed by fire = 2

Let surviving ships be represented by y

One-seventh of the surviving ships were lost in a storm after the battle = 1/7y

Finally, the twenty-four remaining ships sailed home

The 24 remaining ships that sailed home =

y - 1/7y = 6/7y of the surviving fleet sailed home.

Hence

24 = 6/7y

24 = 6y/7

24 × 7/ 6

y = 168/6

y = 28

Therefore, total number of ships that survived is 28.

Surviving ships lost in the storm = 1/7y = 1/7 × 28 = 4

Total number of ships in the fleet(x) =

x = 1/3x + 1/6x + 2 + 28

Collect like terms

x - (1/3x + 1/6x) = 30

x - (1/2x) = 30

1/2x = 30

x = 30 ÷ 1/2

x = 30 × 2

x = 60

Therefore, ships that were in the fleet before the engagement were 60 ships.
