Each pound of peachs costs $2.10.
($4.20 ÷ 2)

Therefore five pounds of peaches would be $10.50.
($2.10 × 5)

10.50 because 2.10 times 5 =

A sports team played 100 games last season. Did this team win at least half of the games it played last season? (1) The team won

Lelechka [254]

Answer:

Insufficient data.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total number of games = 100,

(1) The team won 60% of its first 65 games last season.

So, the number of winning games in 65 games = 60% of 65

$=\frac{60\times 65}{100}$

$=13\times 3 = 39$

But we do not know about the data for last 35 games,

Thus, the data is insufficient.

(2) The team won 60% of its last 65 games last season.

So, the number of winning games in last 65 games = 60% of 65 =39,

Thus, the total winning games = 45 + 45 = 90,

But we do not know about the data for first 35 games,

Thus, the data is insufficient.

When we combined both (1) and (2) statements,

we found that the maximum number of games won by the team = 39 + 39 = 78,

But there is a overlap of 30 games,

i.e. an unknown number will be subtract from 78 to find the exact number of winning games.

Hence, even after combining statements (1) and (2),

The data is insufficient.

Hope this helps :)

Find two consecutive integers such that one fifth of the first less one-ninth of the second is 3. Pls answer.

mart [117]

Answer:

35 and 36

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we must interpret it line by line;

We are dealing with consecutive integers; these are integers with a difference of 1 between them.

let the first number = x

second number = x + 1

one - fifth of first;

$\frac{1}{5}$ x

one - ninth of the second;

$\frac{1}{9}$ (x + 1)

for the "less" ;

$\frac{1}{5}$ x - $\frac{1}{9}$ (x + 1) = 3

Multiply through by 45

45( $\frac{1}{5}$ x) - (45) $\frac{1}{9}$ (x + 1) = 3 x 45

9x - 5(x + 1) = 135

9x - 5x -5 = 135

4x = 135 + 5

4x = 140

x = 35

Now, x+1 = 35 + 1 = 36

The consecutive integers are 35 and 36

A flagpole casts a shadow that is 85 feet long. Paul is 6 feet tall, and while standing next to the flagpole, casts a shadow tha

hammer [34]

Answer:

51m

Step-by-step explanation:

-Paul is 6ft, and has a 10ft shadow. The pole has a 85ft shadow:

-Using ratios:

$\frac{Height\ of \ object}{Height\ of \ shadow}$

Let h be the height of the flagpole:

$=>\frac{6}{10}=\frac{h}{85}\\\\h=\frac{6\times 85}{10}\\\\h=51$

Hence, the height of the pole is 51m
