Answer: at most 15 pairs of socks

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of pair of socks of her sister be x , and let the number of pairs Lucy has be y.

Since , Lucy has 4 more than 1/3 the number of pairs of socks as her sister, this means that

\frac{1}{3}x + 4 = y    .............................. equation 1

Also ,  Lucy has at most 9 pairs of socks , this means that

y\leq 9 ....................................... equation 2

Equating the two equations , we have

\frac{1}{3}x + 4 \leq 9

multiply through by 3

x + 12\leq 27

subtract 12 from both sides

x\leq 15

Therefore , the sister has at most 15 pairs of socks

You are applying fertilizer to a football field. The field is 360 feet long and 160 feet wide. You use 8 pounds of fertilizer pe
Assoli18 [71]

Answer: 10 bags

Step-by-step explanation:

First we must calculate the field area. Assuming it is a rectangle then its area equals the product of its length times its width

A =360*160\\\\A = 57600 ft^2

You use 8 pounds of fertilizer per 1,000 square feet

So the amount of fertilizer you should use is:

57,600 ft^2 * \frac{8\ pounds}{1,000\ ft^2} = 460.8\ pounds

As the fertilizer comes in bags of 50 pound then you need

460.8\ pounds * \frac{1\ bag}{50\ pounds} = 9.2\ bags

Since you can not buy 9.2 bags then we round up to the next whole number.

Finally you need 10 bags of fertilizer

Need help with this . The picture is enclosed
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer: (fоg)(24)=5

Step-by-step explanation:

(fоg)(24) is f of g of 24. This means you plug in g(24) into f(x).

g(24)=\sqrt{24-8}

g(24)=\sqrt{16}

g(24)=4

Now that we know g(24), we can plug it into f(x).

f(4)=2(4)-3

f(4)=8-3

f(4)=5
