The bricklayer bought 7500 bricks to brick a wall. He calculated that every horizontal layer of bricks will contain 321 bricks.

How many layers of bricks will there be in the wall and how many bricks will be left over?

There will be 23 layers of brick, because 7500/321 = 23 with 117 leftover.

3.If the ratio of lynx to mountain lions and wolverines in the park is 2:3:1.So for every 2 lynx, there are 3 mountain lions and
Zolol [24]
A.  The ratio of lynx to mountain lions to wolverines is 2:3:1.

Thus, there are 2 lynx in the ratio.  If there were 6 lynx, we would have to multiply all of the numbers in the ratio by 3 (because 6/2 = 3) to keep the ratio in the same proportion.  

Therefore, because there is 1 wolverine in the ratio, and 1 * 3 = 3, if there were 6 lynx, there would be 3 wolverines.

b. We can use the same ideas that we had in part a to help us in part b.
There are 3 mountain lions in the ratio, but there are 15 mountain lions in the problem.  Thus, the multiplier is 5, because 15/3=5.

Therefore, because there are 2 lynx in the ratio, and 2*5 = 10, if there were 15 mountain lions, there would be 10 lynx.

c.  There is one wolverine in the ratio, but there are 10 wolverines in the problem.  Thus, the multiplier is 10, because 10/1 = 10

Therefore, because there are 3 mountain lions in the ratio, and 3 * 10 = 30, if there were 10 wolverines in the park, then there would be 30 mountain lions.

d.  The total number of lynx, mountain lions, and wolverines is 30.
To find out how many of each animal there should be, we must make an equation using the ratio and the variable x. 

2x + 3x + 1x = 30

This equation means that the total number of animals together is 30, which is true.  Now let's simplify by combining like terms.

6x = 30

Finally, we can simplify by dividing both sides by the coefficient of x, or 6.

x = 5

Thus, going back to our original equation, we know that the amount of lynx is 2x, mountain lions is 3x, and wolverines is 1x.

Lynx = 2x = 2(5) = 10 lynx
Mountain Lion = 3x = 3(5) = 15 mountain lions
Wolverines = 1x = 1(5) = 5 wolverines

Hope this helps! :)

In STU, SU =18 and TU =13. Find m
erastova [34]

Answer:

m=22.2

Step-by-step explanation:

By using the Pythagorean’s theorem i.e

hypotenuse^2=opposite^2+adjacent^2

Where

Hypotenuse =unknown

Opposite =18

Adjacent =13

Hyp^2=18^2+13^2

Hyp^2=324+169

Hyp^2=493

Hyp=sqrt 493

Hyp=m=22.2

Solve the following inequality:
ad-work [718]

Answer:

The answer is option 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve the inequality, you have to get rid of -3 by adding 3 to both sides :

k - 3 \leqslant 9

k - 3 + 3 \leqslant 9 + 3

k \leqslant 12

Three friends got the prize money worth ​$231,000
Degger [83]
There are three unknowns in this problem. First, let's assign variables for these unknowns.

Let
x be the amount received by the first friend
y be the amount received by the second friend
z be the amount received by the third friend

Next, we formulate equations for the relationships

x = 4z
z = 4y
x + y + z = <span>$231,000

Solving simultaneously,

4(4y) + y + 4y = </span><span>$231,000
21y = </span><span>$231,000
y = $11,000
z = 4($11,000) = $44,000
x = 4($44,000) = $176,000</span>
